The game is a five-reel slot machine with a free spin and a random (Scatter) bonus feature to multiply your winnings.
Unlike normal slot machines, instead of betting on individual lines, Triple Fortune Dragon allows you to choose which reels to activate and offers 243 ways of winning.
During the regular play, the goal is to achieve a winning combination on the activated reels. Payouts depend on the number of coins played and the winning combination of icons achieved. Wins occur when the same icon (or its substitute) appears on an active position on contiguous reels starting with the left-most reel. Only the highest win is paid in each winning combination. Only one award is paid per winning combination. All awards are shown in coins.
The maximum win on any transaction is capped at 250,000 currency units (pounds, for example). A transaction includes the results of the free spins bonus plus the outcome which launched the bonus.

The golden dragon symbol, appears on reels 2 and 4 only, can substitute any icon including the golden coin icon.

The betting options

Bet 1 coin to activate 1 reel and have 3 ways of to win

Bet 3 coin to activate 2 reel and have 9 ways of to win

Bet 8 coin to activate 3 reel and have 27 ways of to win

Bet 15 coin to activate 4 reel and have 81 ways of to win

Bet 25 coin to activate 5 reel and have 243 ways of to win

On non-activated reels, the top and bottom icon positions will appear grey. Icons on these positions will not be eligible to form a winning combination. However, the middle row on every reel will always be activated, so all awards are possible even if you only bet 1 coin. The golden coin bonus icon is always enabled, whether or not it lands on an activated reel.

You get the free spins bonus and a Scatter award when you get three, four, or five golden coin icons anywhere on the first three, four, or five reels, respectively. The golden dragon icon can substitute a golden coin icon. A golden coin bonus or golden dragon icon appearing on a de-activated (appearing in grey) reel position can still start a free spins bonus.

The number of free spins and the Scatter award multiplier depend upon the number of golden coin icons and the number of activated reels. Please see the pay table, in the STAKE menu, for details.

Your total Scatter award is the Scatter multiplier listed in the pay table multiplied by your total bet. Your effective bet for your free spins is the same as the total bet that started the free spins bonus.

During the free spins bonus the reels change appearance and each golden dragon icon in a winning combination triples that award. One golden dragon icon in a winning combination means 3x the standard award. Two golden dragon icons in a winning combination means 9x the standard award.

Only the highest golden dragon multiplier is paid for a given winning combination. If during the free spins bonus you get three, four, or five golden coin icons anywhere on the first three, four, or five reels, respectively, you earn additional free spins (up to a maximum of 360 free spins for your entire bonus) as well as a Scatter award.

Remember, a golden dragon icon can substitute a golden coin icon. If a winning combination of three or more golden coin icons is comprised of a golden dragon icon, the Scatter award is three times larger. If a winning combination of three or more golden coin icons is comprised of two golden dragon icons, the Scatter award is nine times larger. Golden dragon icons do not affect the number of additional free spins awarded.

Your total bonus win is the sum of all awards won from your free spins.
