Dragon Hopper Expert Review
Theme, Audio + Symbols
The Dragon Hopper slot immerses you in a magical, Oriental-inspired world where miniature floating islands drift through the sky, each adorned with its own illuminated temple and a majestic dragon statue. These islands glow softly and gently sway in the wind. The warm hues of violet and blue used across the design create a soft setting while you play.
As you'd expect, the soundtrack features traditional Asian-inspired music, with an array of stringed instruments, flutes, gongs, and cymbals setting the tone.
On the reels, you'll find colourful Chinese lanterns which drift through the night sky including the red lamp adorned with an intricate fish pattern. Landing 17 or more matching symbols of this highest value symbol triggers a multiplier of 50.00 times your bet.
Here is a list of all of the symbols and values:
- Lavender lamp: 5 to 17+ = 0.10 to 2.00 x the bet
- Blue lamp: 5 to 17+ = 0.10 to 2.00 x the bet
- Violet lamp: 5 to 17+ = 0.10 to 2.00 x the bet
- Green lamp: 5 to 17+ = 0.30 to 10.00 x the bet
- Pink lamp: 5 to 17+ = 0.30 to 10.00 x the bet
- Orange lamp: 5 to 17+ = 0.80 to 40.00 x the bet
- Red lamp: 5 to 17+ 1.00 to 50.00 x the bet
Dragon Hopper Mobile
The Dragon Hopper mobile slot uses the latest HTML5 technology, which means that you can enjoy a mobile gaming experience on Android or iOS. The game also works well on tablets and desktops. If you're using a desktop to play, the best dimensions are 1920 x 1280 with a 3:2 ratio.
Bonus Features
There are 6 bonus features as part of the Dragon Hopper slot game: Cascades, the Dragon feature, Instant Prize Symbols, Mystic Flare, Free Spins and the Bubble feature.
Cascades
When a winning combo lands on the grid, the winning symbols are removed from the grid, and new symbols fly in from above, giving you more opportunities to score winning combos. This keeps repeating until there are no more winning combos.
Dragon feature
The dragon symbol is a wild multiplier symbol that substitutes for all symbols except the fire cloud symbols and the scatter symbol. The dragon symbol has multipliers of x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 and x10.
When the dragon symbol and fire cloud symbol land at the same time, the Dragon feature is triggered. When the dragon symbol jumps to a fire cloud symbol, the multiplier for the Dragon Symbol increases by + 1. The Dragon Symbol will collect all fire cloud symbols in view before a new cascade begins. Each jump will leave a golden dragon symbol on the grid with the multiplier it had before jumping.
Instant Prize Symbols
When these coin symbols land, they are multipliers, with values ranging from x1 up to x1,000. The payouts are triggered by a cluster of 5 or more matching symbols.
Mystic Flare
When there is no winning combo on the grid, there is a random chance that the Mystic Flare feature will trigger which you can see below. Larger Mystic symbols will land on the reel, which range from 2x2 up to 4x4. These symbols are then split into 1x1 symbols, which can transform into other symbols - paying symbols, instant prize symbols, dragon symbols, or the scatter.
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4 or 5 bonus scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature and awards 6, 9 or 12 free spins, respectively. Once the feature starts, the dragon, golden dragon, fire cloud and instant prize symbols from the base game will remain in the same position with the same values.
Any empty positions on the grid will spin through to land on either:
- Fire Cloud Symbol
- Instant Prize Symbol
- Extra Spin Symbol
- Blank Symbol
Each Instant Prize symbol that lands will remain in its position throughout the feature.
Bubble
Just before the Free Spins feature starts, a bubble symbol will show on the grid either as 1 symbol or a stack of up to 5. The values of the bubble symbol range between 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 500.
The Bubble symbol moves one grid space per spin, and this can be done either vertically or diagonally. Every time it lands on one of the special symbols, this is the outcome:
- Golden Dragon: adds the bubble's value to the symbol’s multiplier value.
- Fire Cloud: adds the bubble's value to the Fire Cloud, which then transforms into the Golden Dragon once the Dragon Feature is complete.
- Instant Prize: adds the bubble's value to the value of the symbol.
Expert Verdict
Like most Push Gaming slots, Dragon Hopper is a polished-looking title. While I’m not typically a fan of Asian-themed slots due to the huge amount that are on offer, this game stands out as a softer, zen-like example, offering a refreshing change from the more traditional games in this genre.
Dragon Hopper combines elements from popular titles like Crystal Catcher and Fire Hopper, while introducing exciting new features such as the Bubble and Dragon Features so it’s a great combo of new and familiar.
Though it’s a small gripe, I found the bonus features a bit confusing initially due to the variety of symbols. However, the range of features is impressive. The Dragon Feature was particularly exciting, with the dragon and fire cloud symbols working together to trigger multipliers of up to x10.
Dragon Hopper is a decent example of a Cluster Pays slot game, a slots genre that continues to grow in popularity.
If you enjoy Push Gaming titles, it's worth exploring their top hits like Jammin Jars, Razor Returns and Fat Rabbit.
Dragon Hopper earns a solid 4 out of 5 from OLBG for its attractive visuals and diverse range of bonus features.
