Classic slot aficionados will be happy to play the Golden Dragon slot from Microgaming as the game is based on traditional slot mechanics with three reels and five paylines. A dragon’s lair with the dragon itself guarding his treasures serves as a backdrop for the reels, and the design of the game follows a classic scheme, with the paytable located on the right-hand side of the reel set. A coin is available in five denominations starting at $0.25 up to $5, and you can place a single coin per each line.

Though classic in style, there are not so many old-school pictures in Golden Dragon. In fact, there is only one classic symbol used in the game: a bar which comes in three variations and is stylized to resemble gold bullions. Bars are found at the bottom of the paytable as they create low- to mid-paying combinations for three of a kind or for a mix of any bars, and the top prize is 60 coins for spinning in a trio of 3-bar symbols. Shield and Swords is a themed symbol that awards 80 coins for hitting three of them on a payline.

You have an incentive to cover all the five paylines since the maximum jackpot of 5000 coins is granted when you get three Dragon symbols on a diagonal line 5. Unlike other combinations that award the same fixed amount regardless of their position on the reels, the payoffs on Dragons depend on which line they appear. Dragon-related awards start at 1000 coins on line 1 and increase in equal increments of 500 coins up to line 4. But then, the payouts make a big jump when you get three Dragons on line 5, and the slot gives 5000 coins ($25,000) for that combination.
