5 Dragons Pokies
For most pokie players one dragon is enough to get their motor running... but five!? That’s what spinners can expect here from 5 Dragons, the rewarding pokie release from Aristocrat Games.
As is the case with many of their titles, Aristocrat’s pokies are starting to look and feel a bit old-fashioned compared to some of their contemporaries, what with the classic fruit machine layout and one-dimensional graphics.
But there’s a reason that Aristocrat’s games are still so popular around the globe, and that’s down to their simplicity and decent payouts. Pokie players aren’t foolish – they can see style over substance a mile away, and while 5 Dragons may lack in the looks department, it makes up for that by the bucketload elsewhere.
Fiery Prizes
There are payouts galore in 5 Dragons, and as we climb the pay ladder we can see just where the big money lies.
We start with the playing card symbols, and based on a 1 coin bet these pay on an ascending scale. The Nine, Ten, Queen and Jack pay 5 coins, 10 coins and 100 coins for spinning three, four and five respectively, with the King earning 10, 20 and 200 coins and the Ace at 10, 30 and 200 coins.
Next up are the Red Envelopes with Chinese writing on them, and these contain plenty of coins waiting to escape into your kitty. These pay at 15 coins for three, 35 coins for four and 300 coins for five.
The Turtle will make its way slowly onto your reels, and will reward players for their patience with 20 coins, 50 coins and 300 coins for three through to five. He might be joined by his old buddy the Koi Carp, and this slippery little character earns 30 coins for a treble, 100 coins for a quad and 800 coins for a full line of five.
And finally, the big daddy of them all – the Dragon. This will reward players with 35 coins, 100 coins and 800 coins for three, four and five respectively.
Unsatisfied with your winnings? No problem: the gamble feature can be utilised during any main game win, and players have the chance to double or quadruple their winnings simply by guessing the correct colour (x2) or suit (x4) of an upturned playing card. Guess wrongly and all winnings are lost. The gamble feature can be replayed up to five times.

Phoenix From the Flames
There are a few additional symbols in 5 Dragons that are well worth keeping an eye on. The first of these is the Phoenix, who pays at a very handsome rate of 50 coins, 100 coins and 800 coins.
The scatter symbol in 5 Dragons is the Golden Gong, and this earns players 5, 10 and 15 coins, and offers two additional benefits: it can appear anywhere on adjacent reels to win (hurray!) and will also trigger the impressive 5 Dragons feature.
There are six coloured Dragon Faces to find as well. The first, which is the Green, appears on the middle three reels only and will substitute for all game symbols apart from the Golden Gong scatter. Then, during the 5 Dragons bonus feature, the White, Red, Black, Yellow and Blue Dragon Faces will appear on the middle three reels and become active in the special feature.
Deluxe Dragons
The 5 Dragons bonus round is triggered by spinning three or more of the scatter symbol on your reels. This is where those five dragons earn their keep, and they offer players the following free spins plus a multiple bonus when substituting:
- White Dragon = 20 Free Spins with a x2, x3 or x5 multiplier.
- Red Dragon = 15 Free Spins with a x3, x5 or x8 multiplier.
- Black Dragon = 10 Free Spins with a x5, x8 or x10 multiplier.
- Blue Dragon = 8 Free Spins with a x8, x10 or x15 multiplier.
- Yellow Dragon = 5 Free Spins with a x10, x15 or x30 multiplier.
During the 5 Dragons feature - should the Red Envelopes symbol appear on the first reel –players will be awarded a surprise bonus prize ranging from 2 to 50 coins, and this round can also be re-triggered by rolling three or more scatters during a free spin.
With 5 Dragons, there’s plenty there to keep pokie players of all budgets and experience levels exciting. We must say, though, that special bonus round really is one to savour.
