Dragon Shrine from Quickspin is, predictably enough, a China-inspired video slot. With simplified symbols and a traditional Chinese soundtrack, the game screams Zen… loudly! It features a number of interesting extras and is definitely worth a try.
Theme
Think in terms of traditional. If there’s one country synonymous with the word, that would be Zhongguo. Dragon Shrine is all about the basics, though. One can’t really expect the Viking descendants from Quickspin to be too familiar with the oldest surviving civilization.
Betting Options and Other Functions
Dragon Shrine is a 5-reel, 40-payline medium-variance video slot. The betting range is from €0.2 to €80. The game has a volatility of 2.95 (out of 5) and an RTP rate of 96.55%.
Regular symbols comprise 4 gemstones and the royal suit. Nothing too complex - we actually like that part the most. It makes the gameplay as easy as it gets while not obscuring Dragon Shrine’s charm.
Payouts:
- 10 pays out €0.04, €0.08, and €0.20 for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively;
- J pays out €0.04, €0.12, and €0.24 for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively;
- Q and K pay out €0.08, €0.16, and €0.28 for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively;
- A pays out €0.12, €0.20, and €0.32 for 3, 4, and 5 symbols, respectively.
Winning combinations pay left to right during the regular gameplay and both ways in the free spins mode.
Features
The wild symbol reads “wild”, so no way to miss it! The Chinese Buddhist temple is the bonus scatter symbol and the dragon symbol - the regular scatter.
Customarily, the wild substitutes for any symbol except for the remaining two special ones.
The temple appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 in both game modes. Lining up 3 or more of them will award you 10 free spins. A full stack of dragon symbols on reel 1 triggers the dragon stack re-spin feature.
The wild pays out up to €8 (5 of them) and the dragon - up to €2.40 (also 5 of them). Nothing too dramatic, but a penny saved is a penny gained.
Should you manage to form a full stack of dragons on reel 1 or 5 during the free spins mode, you will trigger the dragon stack re-spin. A second full stack of dragons will be mirrored on the opposite reel. Free spins can be re-triggered by lining up 3 bonus scatters on a single spin.
The Dragon Stack Re-spin
This is the feature that makes Dragon Shrine well worth playing. Whereas a full stack of dragons on reel 1 or 5 in the free spins mode will trigger it, in regular gameplay the stack has to be on reel 1.
During the entire duration of the feature, all wilds and dragons will remain locked and you’ll get 3 re-spins. All additional wilds and dragons lined up will also be locked. Just calculate the possibilities!
Our Take
The Dragon Stack Re-spin is all that it took for us to fall head over heels in love with this game. Albeit the idea is nothing new, the smoothness of the gameplay makes us wish to revisit the slot over and over again. Try your luck for yourself - give it a spin today!
