Quick Hit Ultra Pays Sun Dragon Slot by Light & Wonder

The choice that shapes the entire bonus happens before a single free game spins. Land three Scroll scatters on the middle reels and a Pick Feature kicks off automatically: thirty fireworks, and matching three of them locks in one of six curtain configurations. That sets your ways count anywhere from 576 up to the full 7,776 for the round. Whatever you land stays fixed for all eight free games. The reels sit fully expanded the whole time, which is the opposite of how the base game behaves.

In the base game those top three rows are hidden behind translucent red curtains, so you start each spin with three active rows and 243 ways across an expandable grid. The curtains lift at random on any spin, and when they do the ways count jumps for that one spin alone. So the base game keeps shifting underneath you, while the bonus locks a single shape and rides it. Wins run on adjacent reels from the left, like symbols stacking into separate combinations rather than one line.

The Sun Dragon itself is the Wild, a coiled golden Asian dragon draped down the left edge of the deep red lattice grid, its tail curling round near the gold spin button. It only fills in on reels 2, 3 and 4, never the outer pair, and it stands in for everything except the two scatters. Symbol art is full lunar-new-year: gold ingots, dark-roofed red temples, paper lanterns, blossom branches, the calligraphy scroll, blue dragon-hanzi tiles, then orange and green card royals down on glowing blue cells.

Then there's the Quick Hit token, the round blue-and-white disc the series is named for. It pays purely by count, anywhere on screen, in both the base game and the bonus. Three of them return 1x your bet, climbing through four, five, six, seven and eight, up to nine Quick Hits paying 1,500x. That's a flat scatter pay, not a jackpot, and no buy option exists to fast-track it. Everything here comes down to whether the curtains rise on their own or you pick where they settle.
