Red Dragon of Luck Slot by Onlyplay

The math is built on a strict reel split. Value Coins (1x up to 1000x your bet) only land on reels 1 and 3. The center reel is reserved for one symbol, the Dragon Coin, and it does two completely different jobs depending on what's around it. If the Dragon Coin lands without any value Coins next to it, it pays nothing on its own. If it lands beside even one value Coin on reel 1 or reel 3, it sums every visible coin value and pays that total as the spin win. If it lands with Coins on both outer reels at once, it stops paying and triggers the Lucky Dragon game instead.

That bonus is a Hold and Spin respin round with one sticky position. The Dragon Coin locks to reel 2 and stays there, while reels 1 and 3 keep spinning for three respins. Any new value Coin landing on the outer reels gets pulled into the Dragon Coin's running total and resets the respin counter back to 3. Run dries up, feature ends, you collect whatever sat on the Dragon Coin at that moment. Four fixed jackpot tiers (Mini at 25x, Minor 50x, Major 150x, Grand 1000x) appear as their own special Coin variants inside this round, so a jackpot hit just dumps its value onto the same total as everything else. The single 1000x value Coin is mathematically identical to the Grand, which means there are technically two routes to the top payout from one feature run.

The Red Dragon mascot coiled on top of the cabinet has a secondary job. The base game can randomly send the feature without the natural trigger condition being met, the rules call it a Red Dragon activation. No frequency stated, and it cuts both ways: a generous gift on a dead session, or a Lucky Dragon round that opens with a thin sticky value because no coins were already visible.

Outside the bonus, the regular paytable runs eight symbols on five lines. The Wild Dragon pays 50x at three of a kind on a line, the Yuanbao ingot 30x, then lanterns and money envelopes at 20x and 10x, lotus and fortune cookies at the bottom. There's no Buy Bonus and no ante option in this build, every Lucky Dragon entry has to come from natural coin alignment or the mascot's random call. The 3x3 grid sits inside a red lacquered scroll frame propped between gold-tipped columns, with the Red Dragon perched above it in fire-orange and gold scales, his tail curled around piles of coins. Behind everything, pagoda silhouettes fade into a magenta-and-purple twilight sky scattered with fireflies. Symbols are pure Chinese New Year wealth iconography: hanging lanterns with the 福 character, green prosperity envelopes, lotus blossoms, fortune cookies with blue ribbons. Classic Asian prosperity aesthetic, very loud, exactly the register the genre demands.
