Dragon Spin Pick 'N' Mix Slot by Light & Wonder

You make a decision before the reels ever turn. A selection screen lets you switch on up to three of the five available Dragon Spin bonuses, with one as the minimum, and only the ones you light up can show up in play, each dropping its own coloured Dragon symbol onto reel 4. The clever bit sits in the trade-off: pick fewer and the ones you kept trigger more often. Tune it down to a single bonus and that bonus comes around far more frequently than it would in a five-way scramble. It's a rare slot that hands you the dial.

The five you're choosing between all play differently. Symbol Eliminator runs unlimited spins, stripping the lowest-paying symbol off the board each time its Eliminator lands, and ends once every low symbol is gone. Fortune Eggs gives you 5 spins where you pick one of three eggs for a cash value of 2x to 50x the bet that banks into a meter. Persisting Wilds and Expanding Wilds both seed the middle reels and add a spin per wild, but one locks them in place for the round while the other stretches each wild to fill its full reel. Goliath Reels is the showy one: ten spins across three separate reel sets at once, each carrying a colossal symbol over the middle three reels. Three bonus symbols including the matching Dragon trigger whichever you've enabled.

Running underneath all of that, regardless of what you selected, is the Dragon Pots feature. Pearl symbols on reels 1 and 5 can set it off, and one landing on both reels guarantees it. You then pick from 15 glowing pearls trying to match three pot icons, and matching one wins that pot from a five-tier ladder: Mini at 25x, Minor at 50x, Major at 100x, Maxi at 500x and the Mega at 2,500x. That top Mega pot is the jackpot ceiling and the most you'll take from a single spin. The board itself is dark and smoky, a temple and mountains lit in purple-blue, with ornate gold coin and knot tiles, red dragon panels, a green glowing orb and a blue WILD that fills in for everything except the bonus symbols. Medium-high swings, so the quiet stretches between Pots picks can run long.
