Dragon Hot Hold and Spin Review

Reel Kingdom has a thing for both asian-themed slots, and for the Hold & Win feature. Dragon Hot: Hold and Spin is a typical release from them in that regard, but there is a bit more under the hood here than in many similar games. The firecracker and dragon wild features trigger at random times, and they are a godsend to break up the mostly dry base game grind.

Players familiar with the ‘polyonymous’ streak respins concept knows what to expect. The Hold & Spin feature is all about collecting sticky cash symbols, which prolongs your winning streak by resetting the respins tally for each new cash symbol you land. The big twist in this game however, is the repeat wins you can also get from the Big Money Wheel that might trigger at the end.

Dragon Hot: Hold and Spin Features

Wilds step in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, but they also pay up to 1,000x your stake for 5 on a payline. You don’t land wilds organically during gameplay, however. They will only come about when dragons snake across the reels, or the line of firecrackers above the reels goes off.

This awards wilds randomly placed across the grid, and it usually results in a pretty decent payout.

As the title of the game more than indicates, the headliner feature is the Hold & Spin bonus round. You will land silver, gold and diamond cash coins in the base game, and these come with random monetary values. You need at least 5 on the same base game spin to trigger the Hold & Respin feature.

All triggering cash symbols become sticky, and only blanks or cash symbols will land during the feature. You start with 4 respin lives/hearts, and all cash symbols that land become sticky too. Each cash symbol you land also resets the respins tally to 4 again.

The Streak Respins feature goes on until you either fill the screen with cash symbols, or until you run out of respins.

All cash symbol values are combined and paid when the feature ends, and a Big Money Wheel is triggered if you manage to fill the screen. The wheel comes with multiplier prizes between 10x and 5,000x your stake, and you get 1 extra spin per cash prize you win. The feature only ends if you hit a blank segment on the wheel.

Nothing overly exciting happened for us in the base game, but we’ve included a minute or so of the grind to give you an impression. We trigger the Hold & Win feature at 1:10 into the 3-minute highlights video, and you can check it all out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

A somewhat generic - though well-made - asian theme, combined with the epidemic Hold & Win streak respins feature. Well, what can we say. It can only be better than it looks, to put it that way, and we have to admit that Reel Kingdom took us a bit by surprise with Dragon Hot: Hold and Spin. A solid math model, decent top symbol values, and the 2 random wild features are more than capable of keeping you afloat in a sea of mostly dead base game spins.

The Hold & Spin feature is better than many alternatives, not least since reaching the Big Money Wheel isn’t as hard as you might think. Once that happens, you’re in for what could be repeat wins to the tune of 20,000x your stake.

This can be quite a thrill-ride when things go your way. Of course, you’re not in for anything revolutionary here, but the game is better than it might seem at first glance.
