Floating Dragon - Floating Dragon Hold and Spin in full - was developed by Reel Kingdom in partnership with Pragmatic Play and released in April 2021. It is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 paylines, a maximum win of 5,000x and two distinct bonuses: a Hold & Spin feature with respins and a free spins round built on collecting fish money symbols. The provider's game page gives the RTP as 96.71%.
That last figure needs a caveat straight away. The UK operator Lottomart lists the same game at 92.00%, with stakes of £0.10 to £5.00. The difference is not an error; operators can run different configurations. It is the single most useful thing to know about this slot before playing it for money, and the free demo is the sensible place to start.

Lines, symbols and the base game
This is a conventional payline slot: wins are formed by matching symbols left to right from the leftmost reel, across 10 paylines. At least 3 matching symbols are required for the 10 to A royals and for the fish, kite, butterfly and bird symbols, while the ship needs just 2 or more. The ship is the highest value symbol and pays 200x your stake for a combination of 5 on a payline.
Two special symbols matter. The dragon is the scatter. The wild is a dark-haired woman, and she is not present in base gameplay at all - she appears only in free spins. Gold coins are money symbols and land only on the middle reel, which is what links the base game to the first bonus.
Hold and Spin: three coins on the middle reel
Land three money symbols on reel two and the Hold & Spin bonus starts with three respins. Each coin carries a value between 1x and 20x the bet. All other symbols are replaced with money symbols, and each time a new one lands, all visible values are awarded and the respin counter is reset to three.
Diamond symbols can also land during the feature. The provider states their values as between 100x and 4,993x; a published review gives the range as 100x to 5,000x. If the respins end and you have not won at least 20x your stake, 3 more respins are awarded. The feature is easy to follow on screen, since every value is printed on the symbol that carries it.
Floating Dragon free spins
Land 3, 4 or 5 scatters to win 10, 15 or 20 free spins. In this round fish money symbols, worth up to 500x the bet, are awarded only when they land at the same time as a wild collect symbol. A fish without a wild on the same spin pays nothing as a money symbol.
Wilds are counted as they arrive. Every fourth wild retriggers the feature with 10 more free spins and raises a multiplier - 2x, then 3x, then a final 10x, after which no more retriggers can happen. The multiplier is applied to collected fish money symbols. Winnings in free spins are limited to 5,000x the bet.

Floating Dragon RTP: 96.71% or 92.00%?
Both. The provider's game page and a published review give 96.71% as the default configuration; Lottomart lists 92.00% for the game it offers to UK customers. Before you stake anything, open the information panel inside the game at your casino and read the figure there - that is the one that applies to your play.
RTP is a theoretical average over a very large number of spins, not a description of a session, and a lower configuration simply means the house edge is larger over time. Volatility is rated medium-high (4/5) in one place and Medium in another; either way, expect runs of spins without a win between features. Results are random on every spin. No stake level, timing or pattern of play makes a feature more likely.
Where it comes from: the Hold & Spin range
Floating Dragon belongs to Reel Kingdom's Hold & Spin range. Earlier games in that range used a fruit slot format; this one switched to an Asian-inspired theme while keeping the respin mechanic. Reel Kingdom is also the studio responsible for the Big Bass Bonanza franchise, and the free spins here work on a similar collecting principle. If you know our Big Bass Bonanza slot review, the fish money symbols and the collecting wild will look familiar.
What we like
- Two different bonus features in one game
- Values are printed on money symbols, so payouts are easy to check
- The provider publishes the RTP on its own game page
- Available on any device, with an official free demo
What to keep in mind
- The RTP at one UK operator is 92.00%, well below the default 96.71%
- Volatility ratings differ between sources
- The wild symbol does not appear in the base game
- Diamond values are stated differently by the provider and by reviewers
Who will enjoy it
It suits players who like traditional paylines and want a bonus they can follow symbol by symbol. It is less suitable for anyone who assumes the headline RTP applies everywhere - at 92.00% the same game costs noticeably more to play over time. Use the demo to learn both features, and if you play with money, set a spending limit first and treat it as the price of entertainment.
Verdict
Floating Dragon gets a solid but not high mark on our methodology. In its favour: the provider publishes the return, the official demo is free, and both bonus features explain themselves on screen. Against it: the published information is inconsistent. The return ranges from 96.71% to 92.00% depending on where you look, volatility is described two ways, and the top diamond value is given as 4,993x in one place and 5,000x in another. The game is clear; the numbers around it require checking.
