Start with the theme and the grid

Choose Dragon Hopper if you want an Asian-themed slot with dragons and lions on a 7x7 Cluster Link grid. Wins form from groups rather than lines. Five or more matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically make a cluster and pay. Winning clusters then cascade and collapse, so the grid refills and one spin can pay more than once.

Pick Dragon Hopper for features beyond the cluster grid. Three or more Bonus symbols anywhere start Free Spins, which can retrigger. Dragon, Golden Dragon, Fire Cloud and Instant Prize symbols carry over from the Base Game, and a Bubble Feature runs in free spins. Walking Wild, Wild Multiplier and Progressive Multiplier add effects, and the Mystic Flare round can be bought.

Retriggers and the Bubble Feature

Once you have read this, you will know how each bonus starts and what it costs.

What do 4 Bonus symbols give?

Watch for 3 or more Bonus symbols, because they start the Free Spins Feature. 3 Bonus symbols give 6 free spins, 4 give 9 and 5 give 12. The feature can be retriggered. Dragon, Golden Dragon, Fire Cloud and Instant Prize symbols carry over from the Base Game.

Play guide

Quiet reels first, then cascading clusters

Useful once you have chosen a bet and want to know what each spin does next.

  1. What sets the win size?

    Pick your bet between A$0.10 and A$100 before the first spin. The Base Bet you set is the reference for every win in that round.

  2. Connect five matching symbols

    Land five or more matching symbols touching sideways or up and down to form a cluster. Winning clusters pay, then collapse and refill, so one spin can cascade into several wins.

  3. Walking Wild before and after cascades

    Watch the grid for Walking Wild, Wild Multiplier and Progressive Multiplier as the cascades run. They are part of this slot's features, alongside Tumble and Cluster Pays.

  4. Three Bonus symbols, 6 to 12 spins

    Land three or more Bonus symbols anywhere on the grid to open the Free Spins Feature. Three of them give 6 free spins, four give 9, and five give 12.

  5. Stop on your own terms

    Set your session limit before the first spin and decide the amount you will stop at. When the limit is reached, stop, since no session result can be known in advance.

Paid features of Dragon Hopper and their cost

Each feature costs a fixed multiple of your bet, so at A$10 the table shows the price you would pay.

Return to player, in plain money

Before you stake, know return to player is measured per A$100 staked. It is the share paid back over a long run, not a promise for one session. The version here sits in the game rules.

Dragon Hopper trial

Dragon Hopper demo versus the paid game

After this, you will know how the demo and the real game differ before you deposit.

Before you deposit, try the demo: it needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account with Vegasnow Casino and players aged 18+.

Play for real

What the RTP version does not decide

You choose a bet and press spin, yet how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP version, so a quiet run says nothing about the next one. Plan each session around fun rather than an expected outcome.

Checking the RTP version before you play takes a minute. Vegasnow Casino shows which version it runs only in the game rules of Dragon Hopper, so open that panel first. The versions differ by small margins, and the table below sets them side by side.

Before you aim for the top prize, know that the maximum win of Dragon Hopper is a ceiling reached very rarely. The cap is a multiple of your bet, so the money amount grows and shrinks with your stake. Read the multiple next to the bet table before the first spin, so the scale is clear from the start.

From one more spin to a clear stop

This game is for players aged 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can self-exclude through BetStop.

Set your budget first

Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open Dragon Hopper, and keep that amount separate from bills.

A clear stopping point

Choose your stopping point before the first spin, and keep it even after a big win.

Is your loss limit set?

Set your deposit and loss limits in your account before you start, so each session ends as planned.

A pause or self-exclusion

Pause or self-exclude when the game stops feeling fun, and step away without waiting for a win.

Dragon Hopper basics

Dragon Hopper questions answered in plain terms

What bets can I place on Dragon Hopper slot?

Dragon Hopper accepts a bet from A$0.10 up to A$100 per round. The examples on this page, A$0.40, A$1 and A$10, are not the limits of the game.

How risky is Dragon Hopper slot to play?

Dragon Hopper's swings depend on its rules: wins need five or more adjacent matching symbols, and each round pays at most 10,000 times the base bet. How often the bonus lands, or how a session goes, cannot be known in advance.

Can I buy the bonus in Dragon Hopper slot?

Yes. Dragon Hopper offers four bonus buy options, priced from 20 to 350 times the base bet. Each one starts a feature round, such as the Mystic Flare Feature or the Free Spins Feature.

Dragon Hopper has seven RTP versions, from 96.24% to 96.40%. The base game runs at 96.33%, and the bonus buy versions fall between 96.24% and 96.38%. RTP is a long-run average over very many rounds, so it does not predict one session.
