Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno

Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno: Hold & Win by Betsoft is more than just a Hold & Win slot. Unlike Coins of Zeus and Coins of Christmas which are, frankly, doppelgangers, Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno takes Hold&Win, upgrades it, and gives it back to the players with a great Asian theme.

This medium-to-high volatility slot features a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, offering a top prize of 2,497x your stake. With an above-average RTP rate of 96.58%, the game adds fresh twists to its predecessor’s features. It’s a perfect game for all those who enjoy Asian games but tend to avoid risky gameplay.

Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno: Hold & Win is set on a 5×3 gaming board. To win, players must land from 3 to 5 matching icons on a payline – and there are 243 paylines or ways in total.

Other technicalities include a medium-to-high volatility, so it’s less risk-prone than other games. However, the hit rage is a bit lower than in its Coins slot relatives. In the Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno, the hit rate is 28.46%. Moreover, the game also has an RTP of 96.58%, which is a solid RTP for a game of this caliber. There are two other alternatives, though – 94.07% and 92.07% – but they are not player-friendly like the optimal rate.

Players can play Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno for only $0.25 per spin or go up to $100 per round. The game’s maximum payout is 2,584x the stake.

As this is an Asian themed slot, which is one of Betsoft’s favorite themes to do, Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno features distinct Asian elements in design, starting from red-hued patterns to golden icons and music playing softly in the background.

Thanks to Betsoft’s efforts in mobile game-making, players are guaranteed smooth gameplay across desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.

This slot offers medium-to-high volatility with a hit frequency of 28.46%, so it’s advisable to start with smaller bets and slowly go up as you get used to the gameplay.

In total, the maximum payout is capped at 2,497x the bet. However, there are several jackpots available during bonus features. They are:

• Mini Jackpot: 15x the stake
• Minor Jackpot: 30x the stake
• Major Jackpot: 40x the stake
• Maxi Jackpot: 100x the stake
• Super Jackpot: 400x the stake
• Grand Jackpot: 2,000x the stake

Game symbols in the game include low-value card royals J, Q, K, and A paying 0.16x to 0.32x for 5 OAK. They are followed by four golden items, fish, turtle, coins, and statue that pay 0.36x to 0.40x for 5 OAK. The payouts seem low, but the game’s true power comes when the features are triggered.

There is also a Buy Bonus option worth 80x the stake.

Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno: Hold & Win is filled with features, including Hold & Win, Wilds, Stacked Mystery Symbols, Nudging Multiplier Wild Reels, and Buy Bonuses.

Wilds

Wilds can substitute all symbols except the Bonus icon, adding win potential as they can generate more winning combinations. Wilds cannot appear on Reel 1.

Stacked Mystery Symbols

Red door symbols appearing on the grid are Stacked Mystery icons. These cover entire reels and once the spin ends, reveal identical symbols. This then triggers potentially a winning combo. However, Mystery symbols cannot be revealed to be Wilds or Bonus symbos.

Nudging Multiplier Wild Reel

Wilds can sometimes appear stacked, arriving in a full stack on the reel. However, if the stack is only partially visible on the grid, the game might trigger a random Nudge. The nudged Wild Reel will then appear on the grid fully and trigger new winning combos. However, if there’s no win when this happens, the game will nudge a Respin as well.

This can happen only on Reel 3.

Cash Pot Feature

During the game in base game, a cash pot is present atop the grid at all times. Cash Pot is also a feature that can be triggered randomly during the base game. Whenever a Bonus symbol lands on the grid, one of three things can happen – either direct entry to the Pick Bonus feature, or add Bonus symbols to open the Hold & Win feature.

 Pick Bonus

The Pick Bonus is a random bonus game feature where players are presented with symbols to click on. The players can click on the feature until they match 3 symbols. The symbols will produce a corresponding prize – one of the jackpots (Major, Maxi, Super, and Grand).

Hold & Win Feature

This is the game’s main feature. It’s activated by landing 6 or more Bonus symbols, awarding 3 Respins.

If you land 5 Bonus symbols during Cash Pot, the game will add the necessary Bonus symbols to open the feature.

During the Respins, Bonus symbols lock in place and spin the grid to reveal either Bonus symbols or blanks. Every Bonus icon resets the Respin counter to 3, while win-less Respins lose them one by one.

Ultimately, the game grid can expand to 10×6 across four sections, increasing win potential. Landing all bonus symbols unlocks the Grand Jackpot.

Feature Buy

For 80x your stake, players can directly access the Hold & Win feature with an RTP of 96.58%.
