RTP and Symbols
I couldn’t play the slot with free credits or for real cash because TrueLab Games hasn’t released it yet. The RTP of 95.57% is perhaps not the best because low variance slots usually have RTPs of 96% and above.
The top symbols are the Panda, Tiger, and the Pig similar to the blockbuster film Kung Fu Panda. The other symbols are the wild, jade frog, lion statue, gold coin, and map.
Bonus Rounds
Reel Respin
The Reel Respin feature triggers when 6 matching symbols appear on two reels. The slot will award you 3 respins that reset to 3 for every Bonus symbol that lands.
Dragon’s Reel
The Dragon Reel bonus offers multiplier wins from 3x, 4x, 10x, and 15x. To get into the feature you need 9 matching symbols in any position on the reels.
True Spins
Yes, there are free spins! The Dragon’s Reel is the gateway to the True Spins feature that awards up to 15 free spins. It’s a decent free spins bonus round since only medium to high-value symbols appear.
More to the point, the payouts will be better because the bonus game has no low-value symbols. How does the bonus game compare to the free spins feature of other slots?
With Mermaids Treasure Book of Pearls, the low-value symbols can act as expanding symbols in the free spins. When they land they expand across the reels for the big wins.
I don’t know if Dragon’s Call’s free spins feature awards multiplier wins since I haven’t played the slot. Until the slot goes live and I can play it, I prefer Mermaids Treasure Book of Pearls’ free spin feature.
Tips and Strategy
The golden rule of playing casino games online is to play them in demo and to read the paytable. See it as a recon before you play the slot machine to win money.
If you’re a casual player accept the free spins, no-deposit bonus, or bonus funds the online casino offers. Since the volatility is low I reckon the average bonus round trigger will be around 50-60 spins.
Time your sessions through the Auto Play feature as it spins the reels automatically from 5 to infinite times. If you haven’t received a big win after 50 spins – play another slot.
What should my average bet per spin be when I play the slot? Since the slot mainly appeals to casual players your best option would be to play it for the lowest stakes.
To win money I recommend Betsoft’s Treasures of Cleopatra. It pays from anywhere, has a Cascading mechanic, and multipliers up to 500x. Additionally, it has a Bet Booster which improves your chances of triggering the free spins feature.
Verdict
Dragon’s Call slot pulls you into its world with special features and plenty of visual theatrics across the reels. The audio track is pitch-perfect, and the jackpot is not too small for a low-variance game.
While it does stumble with a “lowish RTP” its special features make up for that. TrueLab Games wowed with Wild Pumpkin Deluxe, I even won $350 playing it.
So, if the game is remotely similar it will be a winner. Besides, it nails the best parts of the Kung Fuish Panda theme and belongs on your touchscreen.
