Eastern Dragon Slot

China has many symbols of luck, they have their own system of horoscopes and their own tool own divination, the Yi-Ching. The luckiest number in their mythology is the number 8 and the luckiest creature is the noble dragon. It's no coincidence then that we've seen many, many slot machines based upon this most auspicious animal, with the fantastic Eastern Dragon slot game being another to join that list.

Graphically, Eastern Dragon is a wonderfully well put together slot game. You have to play it to really understand what we're talking about here, but in order to wet your whistle for the slick spins and on point animation we'll do our best to explain. With Eastern Dragon, you hit the spin button and the soundtrack plays the crank noise that starts the saliva glands watering as the beautiful reels start to spin. The reels spin for just the right amount of time and they make a lovely, pseudo-mechanical when each reel comes to a stop. The game has a lovely Chinese feel and the soft pastel colours on the reels and background will prove soothing eye candy for even the most tired slot-playing eyes. The game also has a counter based auto-spin function so you can set just the right number of spins, at just the right financial level of play, before leaning back and watching those reels roll the wins right in.

The game features a scatter symbol in the form of the classic Chinese coin; you know, the one with the hole in the middle. Play any amount of lines and the scatter symbol is still appropriate and good for a win. The Eastern Dragon that gives the game its name is also the wild symbol on the game and will substitute for any other symbol on the game other than the Chinese coin scatter symbol, but this is not a new feature and experienced slot jockeys will already be familiar with this system. The Eastern Dragon has one more trick up its sleeve however (not that we're expecting you to imagine a shirt-wearing dragon) as if you're lucky enough to stop in the Eastern Dragon in the first and five reels then you'll find yourself in the Free Spin bonus game. The Free spin bonus takes place on the standard reels (so careful if you're on auto-spin as you might miss them) and can re-activate from inside itself.

Eastern Dragon, as we've said, offers little more than the glut of slot machines on the online market today in terms of game-play. However, if you're looking for a beautifully designed, well thought out slot machine gaming experience then we would challenge you to find a better slot machine than the excellent Eastern Dragon.
