15 Dragon Pearls is a 2020 hold and win slot from Booongo, now 3 Oaks Gaming, with an Asian dragon theme. It uses a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines, pearl bonus symbols, two kinds of collector symbol and a Grand jackpot of 5,000x your stake for filling the grid. It suits you if you like coin collection features with a twist and can live with high volatility.
How does 15 Dragon Pearls work?
You play five reels and three rows with 25 paylines. Yin and yang wilds substitute for pay symbols. Line wins are small: card symbols pay 2x for five of a kind and dragon heads pay 10x.
The bonus symbols are dragon pearls carrying values from 1x to 20x your stake. Six or more on one spin start Hold and Win.
Pearls that land without triggering the feature pay nothing on their own, so the base game can feel quiet between triggers. Bets run from 0.25 to 40 per spin, which covers both small and medium stakes.
What are the 15 Dragon Pearls bonus features?
Hold and Win starts with six respins. Unlike many similar games, new bonus symbols do not reset the count. Instead, special +1 symbols add extra respins. Green collector symbols gather the values of regular pearls, while blue collectors gather the values of all bonus symbols on screen. Filling all 15 positions awards the Grand jackpot of 5,000x your stake.
Three vase scatters award 8 free spins. Card symbols are removed for the round, which makes room for dragons and bonus symbols, and the round can be retriggered.
Is 15 Dragon Pearls worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
The listed RTP is 95.71%, below the industry average. Booongo now trades as 3 Oaks Gaming, and its games may be offered in more than one RTP version. The help screen at your casino shows which one you are playing.
Volatility is high. The fixed respin count without resets means some Hold and Win rounds end quickly, while rounds with collectors and +1 symbols can grow much larger. The Grand jackpot needs a full grid and should be seen as a rare outcome.
The collector symbols are what set this game apart from other 3 Oaks hold and win titles. A blue collector that lands late in a busy round can add up every value on screen, so the result of a round can change sharply in the last respins.
