Dragon Tiger is a slot game developed by Pragmatic Play and released on October 21, 2020. The game centers around Eastern symbols of luck and wealth.
Although the interface resembles a classic slot, Dragon Tiger uses a megaways mechanic. Winning combinations form not along fixed lines, but based on special patterns.
A key feature is that both high and low-value symbols can trigger a win with just 2 matches, significantly improving the odds.
Technical Details
Dragon Tiger has a 5x4 grid similar to traditional slots. However, as a megaways game, wins are formed through specific left-to-right horizontal patterns on adjacent reels, regardless of the row positions.
Vertical or diagonal combinations do not count unless they also align horizontally.
Most symbols require at least 3 matches to win, but two exceptions exist: the Tiger and the 9 symbol, which pay out with only 2.
The bet per spin ranges from 1 to 10 coins. Coin value ranges from €0.01 to €0.5. The total stake is always multiplied by 20, making the real-money bet range from €0.2 to €100.
The game has a 96.53% RTP, which is above average. The maximum potential win reaches up to x18,000 the stake.
Volatility is rated 4.5 out of 5, meaning the game offers high variance. This allows for sharp transitions between small and large wins, though it also means payouts can drop just as quickly.
Gameplay
To begin a round, select your stake and press the start button. If identical symbols appear on consecutive reels from left to right, a payout is triggered based on the symbol's value.
The slot includes an autoplay function, accessible by pressing the “Autoplay” button and electing between 10 and 1,000 spins.
There is also an option to speed up animations and reduce battery use, which is useful for mobile or laptop play.
Symbols in Dragon Tiger
Symbols reflect traditional Chinese representations of prosperity and luck. Card icons from 9 to Ace also appear.
The slot uses multipliers instead of fixed values. These are not shown in the info section, but payouts adjust with the stake. Below are the values based on the default €2 bet:

The Golden Dragon symbol has no payout but acts as a Wild, substituting any missing symbol in a combination. The win is then calculated based on the replaced symbol's value.
The Dragon Tiger logo has no value either but triggers the bonus mode.
Bonus Games
When 3 or more Dragon Tiger logo symbols appear anywhere on the reels, the free spins bonus is activated. The number of spins depends on how many bonus symbols land:
| Bonus Symbols | Free Spins |
|---|---|
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 | 15 |
| 5 | 20 |
During the bonus round, logo symbols can land again and award additional spins:
| Bonus Symbols | Free Spins |
|---|---|
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 | 15 |
| 5 | 20 |
Wild symbols can also appear during free spins. In this mode, they not only substitute for other symbols but also apply a multiplier of x2 to x5 to the payout.
If a Wild applies a multiplier once, that multiplier will be used for all subsequent wins during the same free spins session.
