Floating Dragon slot review

Floating Dragon slot overview

Floating Dragon is a 5x3 slot with 10 fixed lines, built by Reel Kingdom and distributed through Pragmatic Play. Reel Kingdom is the studio behind the Big Bass series, and you can see that heritage in the free spins, where a wild gathers up the cash values of fish symbols.

That 96.71% default figure is one Reel Kingdom uses on several of its games. As with any default, a casino may run a different approved version, so confirm it in the game's rules screen. More reviews like this sit in our slots section.

How the features work in Floating Dragon

Hold & Spin

Hold & Spin starts when three money symbols land on the middle reel. Those symbols lock in place and you get three respins. Each time another money symbol lands, it locks too and the respin count resets to three. The round ends when three respins pass with nothing new, and the values on the locked symbols are paid.

It is the same idea as other hold and win features: the more symbols that arrive before the counter runs out, the bigger the total. How the cash values are distributed is set in the paytable.

Free spins and the collecting wild

Scatter symbols trigger free spins, and the number of scatters decides the length of the round:

During free spins, any wild that lands collects the values of all the fish money symbols in view. Gathering more wilds or scatters during the round moves you up through levels, each adding extra spins and a higher multiplier on what the wild collects. If you have read our Big Bass Bonanza review, the structure will look familiar.

UK players can't buy their way into either feature. Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players.

Floating Dragon max win in pounds

The published top prize is 5,000x your stake. Here is what that means at common UK stakes, including the £2 and £5 caps that apply by age. These are ceilings, reached only in rare outcomes, not targets.

Compared with some newer titles, 5,000x is a moderate ceiling. Reel Kingdom's Big Bass Amazon Xtreme lists 10,000x, for example, but with very high volatility to match.

Floating Dragon RTP and volatility with £20

With a 3.29% house edge, Floating Dragon's long-run cost is on the lower side for a modern slot. That doesn't stop high volatility from shaping each session: much of the return arrives through the two features, which may not trigger at all in a short session.

The averages look gentle, but a high-volatility game rarely follows them over 20 or 40 spins. A 10p stake gives the game 200 spins to land a feature from £20; at £1 you have just 20 chances. Pick the stake that lets you enjoy the time you have budgeted, and remember the house edge means losses are likely over time. Our guide to RTP and our page on volatility explain both measures.

How to play the Floating Dragon slot on a phone

A 5x3 grid with 10 lines is about as phone-friendly as slots get: the symbols stay large, and the Hold & Spin round is easy to follow. The game is HTML5, so it runs inside casino apps and mobile browsers on iPhone and Android. Orientation depends on the casino's game window.

1. Pick a UK-licensed app and install it from the App Store or Google Play; our best casino apps for iPhone and Android lists can help.
2. Register and pass the age and identity checks, which UK casinos must complete before you deposit or play demo games.
3. When the app asks you to set a financial limit before your first deposit, pick one that fits your budget.
4. Search the lobby for Floating Dragon; if it doesn't appear, the app doesn't offer it.
5. Open the game's info panel and check the RTP shown against 96.71%.
6. Choose a stake within your budget and press spin for each round.

Floating Dragon review: pros and cons

Where to play Floating Dragon with a welcome offer

None of our partner offers gives spins on Floating Dragon, and you should check each app's lobby to see whether it carries the game. The closest match is PlayOJO, whose spins are on Big Bass Bonanza from the same studio. All offers are for new customers aged 18+, and terms apply.

• PlayOJO: make a first deposit of £10 or more for 80 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza, 10p each. There's no wagering, winnings are paid in cash, Northern Ireland is excluded and it can't be combined with other offers.
• Coral Casino: deposit and bet £10+ on slots to receive 100 free spins on selected games at 10p each; accept within 48 hours and use within 7 days, no wagering on winnings. Open from 1 October 2026 to 1 February 2027; PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafe, prepaid cards and certain debit cards don't count.

Coral and Ladbrokes share an operator, LC International Limited, so one person may not be able to open new accounts at both. Bonus spins are a way to try a casino, not a way to make money.

18+. Every casino game has a built-in house edge, so over time you should expect to lose what you stake. Set a budget before you play and stop when it’s gone: safer gambling tools and support. Free, confidential help: National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133.
