8 Dragons

8 Dragons is a video slot from Pragmatic Play with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 fixed paylines. The theme is based on Chinese mythology – featuring lucky dragons, red envelopes, golden coins, and enticing symbols against a background of red and gold. The game has animal premium symbols such as dragons, fish, and turtles, and lower-paying symbols that are playing cards from 9 to Ace. The wild symbol depicts a dragon shaped like the number 8, appearing only stacked in pairs on reels 2, 3, and 4, and it replaces all symbols except for the scatter. If a full wild stack lands anywhere in the base game, the winnings from that spin are multiplied by 2x.

There is also a Mystery Stacked Symbol – each spin, a paying symbol is randomly chosen to become a “mystery stack” and can be stacked – this occurs both in the base game and in free spins. Free spins are triggered when three or more scatter symbols, which are red envelopes, land anywhere on the reels. In free spins, the player can choose from five different bonus packages: for example, 5 spins with high multipliers (up to 15x), 8 spins with slightly lower multiplier ranges, 15 spins with moderate multipliers, 20 spins with the lowest multiplier range, or a mystery option where both the number of spins and the multiplier range are randomly selected from the previous four options. During free spins, full wild stacks multiply the winnings by a random multiplier within the chosen range.

If three or more scatters are obtained during free spins, a new free spins round is triggered with the same number of spins as originally chosen. There is no feature to buy into the bonus round – free spins must be triggered naturally through the scatter symbols. The game does not have a separate bonus round aside from free spins, and the main focus is on the choice in the bonus round and how to combine the number of spins with multiplier strength to suit one's playing style.
