Welcome the Mother of Dragons, a very important figure in Chinese mythology. No, we are not talking about Khaleesi, we are talking about Long Mu, the girl from ancient past that managed to raise five infant dragons. Sounds familiar? Here, you will not be fighting for the crown of Westeros, you will be searching for Dragon Wilds and Dragon Multiplier Wilds to boost your wins or even land a jackpot.
Set high in the mountains, the reels of the 2019 release are standing on the top of the dragon temple, with two red dragons guarding the reel grid. The Mother of Dragons is also there, helping players trigger the Free Spins feature with tripled wins, while the Dragons substitute for regular symbols, trigger respins, add win multipliers and can even trigger one of two jackpots on the offer, thus enabling players to win up to 5,000x the bet.
When it comes to the rules of the Microgaming and Just For the Win title, they are pretty simple and you do not have to play with fire in order to spin the reels like a pro. Long Mu Fortunes features five reels, three rows and benefits from 10 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Land at least three matching symbols on a line to start winning payouts. Betting starts at $0.10 and you cannot wager more than $25 per single spin.
Make sure you set the coin denomination somewhere between $0.01 and $0.25, and also do not forget to decide how many coins you want to place per line (1-10). If you get tired of hitting the Spin button, go to Autoplay and set up to 100 automatic spins.
Those of you who had the pleasure of playing video slots themed after traditional China will soon recognize plenty of symbols that populate the reels. There will be Golden Ingots, Golden Coins, Red Envelopes and Drums. Also, expect playing cards as low-value icons. The Mother of Dragons is Scatter that triggers free spins, while the Red, Blue, Green and Yellow Dragons act as Wilds.
Red Dragon Wilds will only appear on reels 1 and 5. Land them partially on the reels and they will nudge back to cover entire reels and trigger respins, locking themselves into place while a respin is performed. Land a win and get another respin. Now, Blue, Green, and Yellow Dragons can appear on central reels, giving you a win multiplier if part of a winning combo. They also nudge back to cover entire reels.
The Red Dragon adds coins to the pot above the reels every time it lands and can trigger the jackpot. Gamers can land two of them, Major, which is 100x the bet, and Grand, which offers 5,000x the bet. To trigger the Free Spins feature, land three Scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4. Gamers get 10 freebies and the respin feature is also active during freebies, only here all multiplier Wilds carry a 3x multiplier.
To be completely honest, we expected more from iGaming industry giants like Microgaming. The theme is quite common, as well as the main character of the story. It takes time to land multiplier Wilds on the reels, as well as to trigger the Free Spins feature. The visuals are quite good and the soundtrack fits the theme perfectly. But, if you are lucking for action and excitement, please look elsewhere.
