8 Golden Dragon Challenge

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 8 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base gameThe base grid, framed in a red gateway, with two stacked buttons on the left: the ante bet, which would take the $2.00 bet to $3.00 in exchange for a better chance of reaching the feature, left on OFF; and the feature buy at $200.00. Three colours of dragon — red, green, blue — hold the top of the pay scale above the card symbols.
Game rules, page 1The paytable, to be read per line rather than on the total bet: five red dragons pay $200.00, the green ones $100.00, the blue ones $40.00, the ace $20.00, the king and queen $10.00, the last three cards $4.00. The three dragons pay from two, the cards do not. At the bottom, the Scatter, a golden dragon that only lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 — three positions, so three of them at most.
Mini slot machine bonusThe feature, and it looks like nothing else: three Scatters replace the grid with eight 3x3 mini slot machines holding only dragons and blanks. On each round, three adjacent dragons from the left pay 1x the total bet on the mini machine concerned; those that win spin again next round, those that do not lock, and the feature ends when all eight are locked. Every mini machine that won with a full dragon symbol adds +1x to a shared multiplier, +3x for two full dragons, +8x for three — that multiplier then applying to the eight envelopes of the closing bonus, whose values run from 2x to 10x the total bet.
Max winThree blocks on a single page. The ceiling first: 8,800x the bet, and once it is reached the round stops. Then the ante bet, priced the way the game prices it — a bet multiplier of 15x instead of 10x, more Scatters on the reels, and the buy disabled while it is on. The buy last: 100x the total bet to trigger the feature there and then. The two ways in exclude each other.
Game rules, page 4The ten fixed lines, drawn in two rows, and the three RTPs the game publishes side by side: 96.01% in normal play, 96.02% with the ante bet, 96.01% with the buy — three ways in for a practically identical return. The bet runs from $0.10 to $375.00.
How to playThe controls page: plus and minus open the bet menu, the round button spins, and the space bar and enter key do the same from the keyboard. The chevron button cycles three spin speeds, and clicking the CREDIT and BET labels switches the display between coins and cash.
Settings menuThe settings menu, with the ceiling repeated a second time at the foot of the page — 8,800x the bet, play stopping there and then. The bet menu is set through COINS PER LINE and COIN VALUE: the total bet is no more than the product of the two across the ten fixed lines.
AutoplayThe panel's last page, the autoplay one: a run is started by clicking the number of spins wanted, and the "skip screens" option passes over the feature's intro and end screens on its own after a short moment.
