The design in Quick Hit Ultra Pays Sun Dragon is simply done - as you’d expect given the theme, the lucky colours of red and gold dominate the visuals. The reels include Asian-style A to 9 symbols as well as Chinese letters, lanterns and blossom, all of which offer awards of 3 times your stake if you land 5 on adjacent reels. They’re joined by the gold pot and pagoda building which pay up to 4 times your stake.
The action takes place on a 6 row machine. Most of the time, the top 3 rows are covered by a curtain and not in play. The curtain can be partially or fully removed at random though which can increase the number of ways to win.
The Quick Hit symbol is 1 of 2 scatters. This doesn’t trigger any features but can deliver some potentially hefty rewards. Landing 3 or more anywhere on the reels guarantees a cash prize. Land 9 of them on the same spin and you’ll pocket 1,500 times your total stake.
The main bonus is the Free Games Bonus feature which is triggered by landing the scroll scatter on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. You’ll then receive 8 free spins. Before those free spins begin, pick from the fireworks. This will determine how many ways to win the reels will offer. It could be anything from 556 right up to 7,776 ways to win. Retriggers are possible here too.
With so many Asian-themed slot games on the market, developers have to try and do something different to stand out. Bally has done that with the unusual game engine. The cartoon style design is simply done but the visuals are crisp and clear. The backing track is modern but has just enough Asia in it to match the theme.
The gameplay is pretty straightforward. The likeliest route to riches come via the Free Games Bonus feature. Land the fully expanded game engine and the Sun Dragon can serve up some very decent action. If you enjoy the Asian theme, then Quick Hit Ultra Pays Sun Dragon is worth a closer look. Being honest, if you’re used to newer slot games, other Bally titles like Michael Jackson King of Pop will be more appealing.
