Jewel of the Dragon Peach Festival is an Asian-themed slot game developed by Light & Wonder. The game features a 5×3 reel layout and incorporates various symbols associated with Chinese culture and fortune, including Dragon Turtles, Ingots, Lanterns, and Peaches.
The game's wild symbol appears on reels 2 to 5 and substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter Coin. The Scatter Coin is a key element in the game, appearing on reels 2 to 4 during the base game and displaying MINOR, MINI, or bet multiplier values ranging from x1 to x200.
One of the main attractions of this slot is the Hold & Spin Feature. This bonus round is triggered when 6 or more scattered Coin or Scatter Coin symbols appear on the reels. Players are awarded 3 spins, with all triggering Coins held in place. Any additional Coins that land during the feature are also held, and the spin count resets to 3. The feature continues until all spins are used or all 15 positions are filled with Coins, which awards the GRAND JACKPOT.
The Free Spins Feature is another exciting aspect of the game. It's activated when 3 Scatter Coins appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 during the base game, awarding 5 free spins. Before each free spin, certain positions on reels 1 and 5 are randomly replaced with various symbols. Additionally, Mystery symbols on all reels transform into regular symbols or Wilds before evaluation.
The game incorporates multiple jackpots, including GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR, and MINI, which can be won through various game mechanics. The Hold & Spin Feature, in particular, offers the chance to win these jackpots along with bet multipliers.
An interesting feature of Jewel of the Dragon Peach Festival is its use of multiple possible reel sets in the base game, which are selected before each spin. This adds an extra layer of unpredictability and excitement to the gameplay.
