Slot Summary

Across 25 fixed lines, Dragon Pearls: Hold & Win gives 3 Oaks a direct meeting point between an Asian dragon setting and the studio's coin-locking bonus format. The base game is deliberately familiar, while the real distinction comes from two separate bonus routes: retriggerable free spins and a Hold and Win round where newly landed prize symbols keep the respins active.

How It Plays

The regular game uses a 5x3 layout with 25 fixed paylines. Wins follow the conventional left-to-right line pattern, keeping the base loop easy to read.

Two symbol groups direct play beyond ordinary wins. Scatters open the free-spins route, while bonus symbols lead to the Hold and Win round with locked prize positions.

Theme & Atmosphere

Asia, Dragon, and Gems define the setting, with pearls and treasure imagery linking the central creature to the prizes carried into the bonus game.

The presentation follows an ornate treasure-chamber tone rather than a battle scene. Its dragon acts as a guardian of wealth, which suits the fixed-jackpot structure.

Gems Asia Dragon

Features & Win Potential

The Wild substitutes for regular symbols during the base game, while scatters handle access to free spins. These roles stay separate from the bonus symbols.

Fixed jackpots sit inside the Hold and Win system. The largest outcome is tied to the bonus round rather than an ordinary five-symbol payline combination.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three scatters start eight free spins using the higher-value symbol set. Landing another three scatters during the round adds eight more spins.

The Hold and Win bonus locks its triggering prize symbols and starts a respin sequence. Every new prize symbol stays on the grid and refreshes the counter.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.71%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
