9 Burning Dragons Review

It’s hardly a secret that the Chinese have a thing for dragons, and it symbolizes power, fortune and strength in their culture. Wazdan has plenty of oriental-style releases under their belt already, but not really all that many in their significant 3x3 grid size range. 9 Burning Dragons comes with a pretty barebones base game, but you get wilds to help you out.

Full screen wins up to 200x your stake is possible, but at the center of everything is the Hold the Jackpot feature. The triggering bonus symbols already guarantee you the smallest “consolation” prize, so the feature is all upwards from there, towards the 2,187x Grand Jackpot you win from filling the screen. You can gamble any win up to 7 times in a double or nothing fashion, and this includes bonus game payouts.

9 Burning Dragons Slot Features

You win by landing 4 to 9 matching symbols anywhere on the 3x3 grid. The symbols pay 0.5 to 2 x your stake for 4 of a kind, incrementing up to 4 to 200 x your stake for full-screen 9 of a kind wins. Only the highest win is paid per spin.

The wild symbol steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete wins, but the wild holds no value of its own.

The Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game triggers when you land 3 golden dragon bonus symbols anywhere in view, and the triggering symbols become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid. You will land nothing but blanks and/or new sticky bonus symbols, and the respins tally resets to 3 for each new bonus symbol you land.

The feature goes on until you either fill the screen with sticky bonus symbols, or you run out of respins. When the feature ends your total win is paid. Landing 6, 7, 8 or 9 bonus symbols awards a total win jackpot prize of 81x (Mini), 243x (Minor), 729x (Major) or 2,187x (Grand) your stake, respectively. If you end up with a total of only 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols however, you win 3x, 9x or 27x your stake, respectively.

This means that 3x your stake is guaranteed per feature.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Buy Feature option. Simply hit the shopping cart button below the grid, and you get the option to pay 50x your stake for the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game with 3 triggering bonus symbols.

Review Summary

Wazdan is no stranger to the 3x3 grid format, and certainly not to the oriental-style theme either. 9 Burning Dragons is a simple, yet entertaining, release in that category, and the pace is excellent with the turbo maxed out. You can choose from 3 settings as you see fit, as usual, and the same goes for volatility. The base game offers payouts up to 200x your stake, which is not too shabby, and the pay anywhere system adds to the excitement.

The gamble feature is optional, and you can gamble any win up to 7 times in a double or nothing card color guessing game. Of course, it takes only one wrong guess to lose it all, so be careful. The Hold the Jackpot Bonus is all about climbing the prize ladder by landing up to 9 sticky bonus symbols, and the 2,187x Grand Jackpot is also the game’s win cap.

Wazdan has carved out a nice niche for themselves, and they stay true to their own style and project.
