Did you ever think you would see Jackie Chan in a slot game? It likely never even occurred to you, yet here we are reviewing one of (yes, there are more) the available slots featuring his presence.
Fire Dragon might be familiar to you if you know anything about Jackie, but don’t worry if you have never seen any of his movies. It’s not necessary to even be a fan to appreciate the drama on the reels of this game.
Who is the developer of this title?
As the third in a Jackie Chan series released by RTG, we can say that Realtime Gaming has done another fine job with this slot game.
Demo possibilities
As with most other RTG games, this one can be loaded just for practice purposes. Make sure you select this option and that it loads with a practice balance ready to use.
What’s the theme like?
Jackie Chan is known for his prowess in the martial arts field. That provides the theme here, and the title also relates to a movie of the same name featuring Jackie Chan.
A fascinating design
A mountainous backdrop will grab your attention as the game begins. A hut in the foreground seems to be the place where the game is played, though. Both on the reels and off, there is a lot of detail and plenty to look at as you play.
How to play the Fire Dragon online slot
Five reels load into the hut-style element of the game. A progressive jackpot amount appears above the first reel. This has the tendency to climb faster than usual too, and for good reason. The jackpot is shared among all three of the Jackie Chan slots, so if it is won on any of them, the value resets and is seen as such across all three games.
There are two important symbols to know about before you start playing the game. The first is Jackie himself, and it probably won’t surprise you to find that he is the wild symbol. He also pays out prizes whenever three or more appear. He doesn’t substitute for the second important symbol, which is the white ninja mask. Everything else is fine to be replaced, however.
Lots of paylines to play on
You can play across 20 adjustable paylines in this slot game.
What about making a wager?
There are plenty of variables here, suiting most players to one extreme or the other. The penny coin can be played on each line, warranting a 20-cent wager. The biggest bet is with a five-dollar coin on each line, offering a $100 top bet.
Don’t miss the paytable
The Fire Dragon slot looks good enough from the start, but we’d still suggest you give the paytable a quick look before you get things underway with some spins.
What about getting through to a bonus round?
There were so many possibilities here for a cool second screen bonus, but none has been provided.
Free spins can be won, though
Good news here – you need to look for three ninja masks anywhere on the reels to unlock a cut scene where a group of ninjas arrive for some action. The action then transfers to the reels for 10 free spins.
These play out just as you would expect, with a chance to find 10 more games if another three masks turn up during a spin.
Do we know what the return to player value is?
No, the game wasn’t released with these details. Many games from this developer come in at 95% or more though, so we suspect it would be around that level.
How much do we like the Fire Dragon slot?
This is a good one for Jackie Chan fans, not to mention those who like a formulaic slot. There is nothing here that we haven’t seen before, so while it is a solid game, it doesn’t get any higher than seven points out of 10 from us.
A linked progressive prize means this game has some attention
Linked jackpots tend to be nice ones to watch out for. Three games sharing the same pot ensure the bets keep rolling in and the jackpot goes ever higher. Someone will snag it… but who might that be?
Start playing the demo first
We started this way, and it’s a good way to see if the game pans out as you might hope it would.
Fans of Jackie Chan and online slots are sure to play for real
With bets starting at one penny per line, it makes finding a budget to play this game easier than you’d imagine. Make sure you don’t overspend, though, and ensure you know what to expect.
Mobile gaming for Fire Dragon fans
You won’t need a computer for this game. Pick up an Android or Apple device to go online with and you can play Fire Dragon on a tablet or smartphone instead.
