Floating Dragon slot review
Floating Dragon — in full, Floating Dragon Hold & Spin — is the 2021 lantern-festival slot from Pragmatic Play’s Reel Kingdom stable, the studio behind the Big Bass series. Across five serene, water-borne reels, its heart is the Hold & Spin feature: glowing money pearls that lock in place and respin towards fixed jackpot prizes. It marked Reel Kingdom’s first major step beyond the Big Bass pond, and the serene festival setting — all drifting lanterns and koi — gives it an unusually calm register for a slot whose feature can swing so sharply.
How Floating Dragon plays
Koi, lotus flowers, lanterns and card royals drift across the reels, with the dragon herself as the premium presence and a wild on hand to complete line wins. Two symbol types carry the game: free-spins scatters and the luminous pearls, each printed with a cash value or a jackpot tag, that fuel the headline feature.

Hold & Spin and free spins
Land enough pearls at once and the Hold & Spin begins: the triggering pearls lock, three respins are awarded, and every new pearl that sticks resets the counter. When the respins run dry, all locked values pay together — and tagged pearls add the fixed jackpot prizes, with a full board the feature’s grand outcome. The separate free-spins round, triggered by scatters, keeps the pearl economy flowing with the dragon’s multipliers stirring the water.
RTP, volatility and top wins
