Happy Fortune Dragon is a 5-reel, 40-payline slot game developed by Inspired Gaming. The game features an Asian-inspired theme centered around fortune and dragons. The slot's layout consists of 15 independent reels with three Dragon Eggs positioned above them.
The game's main attraction is the Wild symbol, represented by a dragon, which appears on the center reel in both the base game and Free Spins bonus. When the Wild lands on the center reel, it can activate one or more of the three Dragon Eggs, each offering different bonuses:
- Left Egg: Coin Boost
- Middle Egg: Six Free Spins
- Right Egg: Coin Multiply
Coin symbols can appear on all reels except the center one. These coins display monetary values proportionate to the base game stake. When the Wild symbol lands on the center reel, any visible coins are awarded. The Coin Boost and Coin Multiply features can enhance these values, with the boost applied first, followed by the multiplier if both are active.
The game also features fixed prizes, represented by Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand symbols. These can appear on all reels except the center one and are awarded when the Wild symbol lands on the center reel.
A unique Nudge Up Modifier can trigger in the base game. If no Wild appears on the center reel and there's no line win, the center reel may step backward until a Wild is revealed. Additionally, if there's a Wild on the center reel but no line win, other reels may step backward to reveal fixed prizes.
The Free Spins bonus is triggered when the middle Dragon Egg is activated, awarding 6 free spins. During this feature, the Wild symbol remains fixed on the middle reel. Any Coin Boost or Coin Multiply features activated at the start of Free Spins persist throughout the bonus round. Additional Free Spins can be won during the bonus.
Happy Fortune Dragon also offers a Fortune Bet option, which allows players to increase their stake by 1.5x. This enhances the frequency of the Free Spins bonus and increases the average win from this feature.
An interesting aspect of this slot is the Spin Chance feature, which triggers automatically when the credit falls below the current price of play but remains above zero. This gives players an opportunity to wager their remaining credit for a chance at an additional base game spin.
