Eastern Dragon Jackpot Slotby NextGen Gaming

This NextGen video slot has 5 reels, 9 paylines and a local network progressive jackpot. Eastern Dragon with certain display differences, sans the jackpot and with line counts of 20+ can be found variously as Vegas Tech or Cryptologic although all versions of the game are actually made by NextGen. This version of the game has a Cash Grab progressive jackpot that is linked to more than 20 other machines. Because of the network action jackpots build fast (penny for penny on each machine) and are awarded often (all reset to seed amount of 1,000.00 and build again). In theory the RTP should remain quite high on each machine as the progressive burden is shared across the network. Indeed, the pay table shows us that this 9 line (higher variance) version of the game can pay quite well at any time, progressive jackpot not withstanding.

The top prize in the base game is 10,000x line bet for 5 Koi fish. A wild dragon can appear on reels 1 and 5 and when one or more of them are part of a winning combination the pay out is doubled. When a Dragon appears anywhere on both reels in the same spin 15 free games are awarded wherein all prizes are tripled. The feature can be retriggered which tells us that the Dragons remain on the reels during free spins making the top prize for a single line in free games worth 60,000x line bet. Satter pays, up to 200x total bet are also tripled during free games for a stunning 600x total bet scatter potential.
