Ancient Gods Slot by RealTime Gaming

The reels sit inside a red-and-gold pagoda frame, two little temple pillars standing at the sides with pointed finials on top. Behind the grid, a green-tinted waterfall valley runs under an aurora-lit sky, and the full cast of Chinese mythology's Four Sacred Beasts appears in gilded portrait frames as premium symbols - Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, each tied to a compass direction. The low pays are colored orb spheres textured with scales, stripes, and turtle shells, which keeps the reels busy with warm tones rather than generic card royals. A fifth creature, the Center Dragon, is the star. Golden and coiled, he sits on the middle reel as the Wild, and the game hangs on one specific trick he does.

That trick is the hopping wild. Whenever the Center Dragon or the Golden Medallion scatter lands anywhere on the reels, it can reveal two additional Center Dragons that hop to the other two positions on the same reel. A single wild can turn the entire reel wild on the spot. This happens during base play and during free games, and it changes how you should read a near-miss, because a lonely scatter on reel 5 might not stay lonely.

The Free Games Feature triggers on 3 or more Golden Medallions anywhere on the grid, but the spin count is not fixed. You get 2 free games for EACH Center Dragon or Golden Medallion that appeared on the triggering spin. Three scatters with no wilds gives you 6 spins at the bottom end. Land extra dragons alongside those scatters and the count climbs quickly. The trigger multiplier also scales with scatter count: 3 scatters keeps prizes at 1x, 4 scatters doubles them, 5 scatters triples them. A retrigger during the bonus adds 2 extra games per qualifying symbol but does not change the multiplier you started with, so catching your 5-scatter 3x multiplier on the original trigger matters more than chasing retriggers later.

Scatter pays work the usual RTG way - 5 medallions pay 200x your total bet added to any line wins, with 4 and 3 scatters worth 10x and 2x respectively. The full-reel Center Dragon at 5-of-a-kind pays 2500x line bet on its own, which is where the 50,000x ceiling becomes reachable when the hopping wilds stack across multiple reels inside a 3x free-game multiplier. There's no buy bonus, no gamble, no progressive jackpot meter. Just medallion hunting, dragon hopping, and a scatter count that dictates everything about how the bonus plays.
