Whilst you may think that this pokie may simply be another pokie disguised as an Aristocrat branded version, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that it is actually an Aristocrat Technologies Inc product. Based on Chinese theme of Dragons why Aristocrat choose dragons is because of China.

A number of legends concerning the origin of the dragon emerged in the course of Chinese history, of which the Totem-Worship Theory is more popular than the others. A totem is an object such as an animal or a plant that serves as an emblem or protector of a tribe, reminding them of their ancestry, and the tribe firmly believes that they are related by blood to a certain animal. Almost every tribe had its own unique totem in ancient times.

It was said that Huangdi  fought with Yandi for the throne after the demise of Chi You, which ended up with the victory of Huangdi who adopted an imaginary dragon for his coat of arms. Later, Huangdi launched a series of wars against the nine tribes on the Yellow River Valley, and incorporated the other tribes’ totems into his own after defeating them (thus explaining why the dragon has attributes of nine other creatures), claiming himself to be monarch of the central plains of China after his great unification. The dragon totem has been popular throughout China ever since.

Thus symbolizing strength it has imaginable paws of the tiger, the beard of the goat, the scales of the carp and the belly of the snake -looks a dragon.

The 5 Dragons pokie is a bonanza of colour, much in the way you would expect from the Orient. The opening screen allows you to immerse yourself in the vibrancy of Oriental style with the different coloured dragons exploding on your screen with 5 dragons in red writing underneath.

How to win 5 Dragons?

To win money at the base game, you have to land a combination of the same symbols. Even if you play 5 Dragons slot online for free, the winning mechanics are the same.

The symbols must land on specific positions on the reels. Each set is called a pay line. The combination positions are not in the game menu. And from observation, there will be 30 lines instead of 25 if you press the 5 Reels + Extra button.

The online 5 Dragons pokies  machine only considers a combo if the symbols landed starting from the leftmost reel. What this means is that even if you have four consecutive symbols, but they started in reel 2, you will not win a prize.

The same principle applies to the scatter symbol in this game. The only difference is that the scatter does not have to start on reel 1.

The playtable, which is also found in the game menu, is expressed as multiplier values. What this means is that it will be multiplied to your bet per line. In this game, you will win coins, which is expressed in terms of credits.
