What is Dragon Jackpot Roulette?

Dragon Jackpot Roulette is one of the most exciting roulette variants from Playtech. It features a bonus round and four separate jackpot prizes. The RTP of this game varies from 96.06% to 97.32%. Read on to find out what the Dragon has in store for you.

How to play Dragon Jackpot Roulette

Dragon Jackpot Roulette is a fixed odds betting game that is based on European Roulette. The game is played with a wheel that contains 37 coloured pockets. The numbers 1 to 36 are coloured either red or black and there is also a green 0. The outcome of a round is determined on the pocket in which the ball lands.

To begin a round, players can select their stake using chips that are found to the left-hand-side of the screen. Once the players have placed their bets on the betting table, they will have to click on the ‘Spin’ button, found at the right-hand side of the screen. This puts the 3D roulette wheel above the betting table into action. A ball is sprung into the spinning wheel and lands into one of the pockets. Once it lands, the player either wins or loses, depending on where they placed their chips on the betting table before clicking on the spin button.

Dragon Bonus

Players can trigger the Dragon Bonus by placing a Dragon Bonus token on twelve numbers for free. If the player places an inside bet on one of those numbers and the ball lands on the number, the bonus round is triggered.

The Dragon Bonus takes the player to a new screen where there are two stages in which the player will have to spin a wheel. The two stages are known as the inner and outer wheel.

The outer wheel is the first one in play and has three different segments. The segments include:

  • 3 Pointers – this adds two more pointers to the inner wheel.
  • Boost – this doubles the multipliers on the inner wheel.
  • Spin – this takes the player directly to the inner wheel without any extra prize.

Once the player has spun the outer wheel, they are taken to the inner wheel. The inner wheel has eight segments and a re-spin pointer that spins independently from the main pointer. The eight segments include the multipliers:

  • x6 (x12 if boosted)
  • x8 (x16 if boosted)
  • x10 (x20 if boosted)
  • x15 (x30 if boosted)
  • x18 (x36 if boosted)
  • x20 (x40 if boosted)

Once the pointer lands on one of the segments, the multiplier is applied to the initial stake that triggered the Dragon Bonus round. If the player placed a straight up bet of €10 to trigger the round, it is applied to €10. However, if the player triggered the round from a €10 corner bet, the bonus is applied to €2.50.

When 3 pointers are in play, all three multiplier values are added together to give a bigger multiplier boost. If the player lands on the re-spin pointer, they will be taken back to the outer wheel and have the chance to continue playing the bonus round. It is possible to win up to three re-spins. When the round ends, the total multipliers gained from the bonus game is applied and the player is taken back to the base game.

Dragon Jackpot

In addition to the bonus round, Dragon Jackpot Roulette also features four separate jackpots. The jackpot round is triggered completely at random, even after a losing round. To have a chance of reaching the Dragon Jackpot round, you must activate the Dragon Jackpot by clicking on the button at the right-hand-side of the betting table.

When entering the jackpot round, the player is guaranteed to win one of four progressive jackpots. The four jackpots include:

  • Green – the progressive jackpot starts at €10
  • Blue – the progressive jackpot starts at €100
  • Red – the progressive jackpot starts at €1,000
  • Yellow – the progressive jackpot starts at €20,000

Once the player has entered the Dragon Jackpot round, they are taken to a wheel that has ten segments. The segments include the jackpot colours above. Each spin, whichever colour lands is collected. When you collect three symbols of the same colour, the corresponding jackpot prize is won.
