Dragon Pearls: Hold and Win is a new online slot game found exclusively at Just Casino Online. This Chinese-themed game features stunning graphics and animations that transport players to a mystical world of dragons, pearls, and riches.

The visuals are simply breathtaking, with vibrant colours and intricate details on the reels. Symbols like golden dragons, red envelopes, Chinese lanterns, and of course, shimmering pearls, catch the eye with their bright and bold designs. The background depicts a serene Chinese garden at sunset, with cherry blossom trees and a tranquil pond.

When wins occur, the symbols come alive with fun animations and sounds. The golden dragons fly across the screen breathing fire, while the pearls shine and glisten as they award prizes. The upbeat Chinese-inspired music creates an atmosphere of celebration, adding to the excitement.

Payline Description

Dragon Pearls: Hold and Win is played on a 5×3 reel set with 10 fixed paylines. When matching symbols land on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, they form winning combinations along one of the paylines.

For example, if three or more golden dragon symbols appear consecutively on reels 1, 2 and 3, this would form a winning combo along payline 1. The more consecutive symbols and longer the combination is, the higher the payout awarded.

With 10 paylines available and 0.10 minimum bet, players have flexibility in how they want to play and chase wins each spin.
