About Dragon's Luck Stacks

Red Tiger Gaming has developed numerous slot games that revolve around an Asian theme, and this is evident in Dragon's Luck Stacks. Within the game, you will encounter classic Chinese symbols, like fish and lotus flowers. Red Tiger Gaming has poured a lot of resources into making "mobile-friendly" games, so you can enjoy Dragon's Luck Stacks on your smartphone or tablet. That accessibility extends across content types, so whether you're using an Android, Windows, or iOS device, you can open the game in your browser and start spinning the reels. If you want to experience what Dragon's Luck Stacks has to offer before playing for real money, many online casinos featuring the game let you play a free version.

Bets and paylines

Different is the structure of Dragon's Luck Stacks, where you play on 6 rows and 10 reels. Yet, there are only 30 paylines that are always fixed – whether you're betting a lot or a little. To get a win, we first can't help but note that left-to-right winnings aren't the only way you can score with this game. You can also win with symbols that show up in any ol' configuration, and with the game's 10x4.5 on one of its paylines, you'd want at least 3 matching symbol configurations to do so. Indeed, though, win you can. The slot's giving rate falls in with a bunch of other modern machines at 96.10%. That's a fairly solid number, and it comes with the caveat that lots of players will win back lots of play dollars.

Even though Dragon's Luck Stacks is a slot with 10 reels, you can stake as little as $2 on or per spin. The most you can play per spin is 200 dollars, which compared to other slots isn't that much. That's an average for slots, really: some pay out more, some pay out less, but those are the rough extremes. In this game, the way you access that range of BET levels is by pressing a button that says "total stake" at the bottom left of the playing field. You can also use an autospin feature where you tell the game to just go ahead and spin up to 100 times on its own, if you'd like. And if you use that feature, you can set a maximum loss so that you know you won't exceed your budget.

Symbols

Dragon's Luck Stacks is a sleek and simple slot, and as usual, Red Tiger Gaming lets the various symbols pull all your attention. Colors of gold and red, reminiscent of the Chinese flag, take over the appearance of the game. And stretched across the background, we see Chinese landscapes painted in watercolors. It more or less looks like a tent you would find in Middle Kingdom Asia, with dragons wrapped around the edges in the same manner they do on the flag. The various symbols look like mix of Chinese characters and statues you would find in a curio shop, so they more or less look like things you could imagine having in your own home.

The symbols found in Dragon's Luck Stacks comprise a medley of letters, numbers, lotus blossoms, and other types of symbols that are typical in China. The symbol that pays the least is the number 10. If you land 10 of them, you'll be rewarded with 720 times your bet. The other symbols follow, and up to the Aces, they are all giving 1680x when you land them on all 10 reels. Then comes the four premium symbols.

Bonus features

Stacks of Dragons Luck has no standard free spins mode that you activate by getting a certain number of scatter symbols on the screen. What you have, instead, is the chance to win thanks to a gold coin with a dragon on it. These coins can appear on the reels stacked on top of each other, meaning they can take up a far bigger segment of the playing field. When they land on the playing field, they spin around and show a randomly selected symbol. If you get lucky, it is the same symbol as on the reels next to it, and you have a much better chance of making a winning combination. Positive elements could take this in the direction of too many spins in which nothing happens, but the coins appear so often they could instead be called the feature that keeps on giving.

The rarest and most rewarding bonus feature of Dragon's Luck Stacks is the Mega booster. This works much like the game's Mystery win, with the key difference being that you win every time it lands on the reels. The Mega booster is another gold coin with a dragon on it, only this one is set in a dramatic red background. It comes in several different sizes, ranging from 3×3 to 6×10. What you might not realize is that when you see it, the whole screen shakes, and the Dragons on the other side come to life. When the Mega booster appears on the reels, it works much like the Mystery win, transforming into one and the same symbol. Unlike Mystery win, though, the Mega booster can—as it were—stand alone and still translate into several wins, or it can link up with other symbols already on the reels.

Summary

China is a topic that's always in vogue, and Red Tiger Gaming has once again made an interesting and different slot, both in overall construction and in bonus diversity. Dragon's Luck Stacks is innovative and, because of the guaranteed win special feature, it feels fresh, even though Chinese culture has inspired many games before this. This is a game especially suitable for low rollers (the minimum bet is 20 cents; the maximum is a little below 200 dollars). More than anything, it's a game that's easy to understand and easy to figure out. Remember also to be patient when playing it and to not get too discouraged if you hit a number of spins where nothing happens. If you take this easygoing approach, you're set up to have more fun than if you play with a kind of tension that some games can elicit.

The golden coin feature that appears on the screen in Dragon's Luck Stacks is the closest thing you have to a guaranteed win in this game. You can't activate free spins, but the game's basic mechanics—and your basic understanding of them—should work in your favor. And they don't just work in your favor; they also work in the favor of casinos that host slots created by Red Time Gaming. Thank the pure mathematical excitement of Dragon's Luck Stacks for that, as this is the kind of game you want to play at least a little bit in order to figure the odds out for yourself. And if you catch a lucky break and win some money? Well, that's just the kind of fun you pay for when you visit a casino.
