Slot review: Smoking Dragon

Smoking Dragon is an Asian themed slot, but it does not take itself too seriously. A huge red dragon stands next to the reels, puffing a pipe, while the clouds in the background watch the action like they are part of the joke. This one is made by Hacksaw Gaming, and it feels like they wanted a calmer vibe while still keeping their signature punch through multipliers. The gameplay is all about chaining wins through a strange cascade style where the whole bottom row disappears after a win. When multiplier Wilds land and the Dragon Eggs start teasing that instant prize, it turns from chill to exciting fast, without needing a loud theme to do it.

Slot overview: Smoking Dragon

Smoking Dragon uses 5 reels and 4 rows with 1,024 ways to win. Wins pay for 3 to 5 matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left. The default RTP is listed as 96.30%, but also lower variants exist. Volatility is generally described as low, bet range is 0.10 to 100, and the max win is 10,000x.

The main mechanics you will notice are Row Cascades, Wilds and Epic Wilds with multipliers up to x100, an instant prize from Dragon Eggs, and three Free Spins tiers that get stronger as you trigger higher scatter counts.

Slot features: Smoking Dragon

Row Cascades: This is not a normal cascade where only winning symbols disappear. After any win, the entire bottom row is removed. The remaining symbols drop down and a new top row is added. The process repeats as long as the cascades keep adding wins.
Wilds, Epic Wilds, and multipliers: There are Wild and Epic Wild symbols. Both substitute for regular pay symbols. Wilds and Epic Wilds can carry multipliers from x2 up to x100. If more than one multiplier Wild is part of the same win, the multipliers are added together before applying to the payout. Epic Wild multipliers double on each Row Cascade while the Epic Wild remains involved.
Dragon Eggs: Landing 3 Dragon Eggs on the same spin, or within the same Row Cascade sequence, awards an instant 500x bet prize. Dragon Eggs then act like blanks until removed by the Row Cascade. The max number of Dragon Eggs that can be present at the same time is 3.
Scatters: The FS Scatter is a pipe symbol marked with FS. Triggers can happen on the base spin result or within the same Row Cascade sequence:
- 3 scatters trigger Puff of Luck (10 Free Spins).
- 4 scatters trigger Smoldering Riches (10 Free Spins).
- 5 scatters trigger Fire and Fortune Epic (10 Epic Free Spins).
Puff of Luck: Starts with 10 Free Spins. Plays like the base game but with increased hit rate for Wilds, Epic Wilds, and Dragon Eggs. During the feature, landing 2 scatters awards +2 spins, and 3 scatters awards +4 spins (also allowed within the same Row Cascade sequence).
Smoldering Riches: Starts with 10 Free Spins and can award extra spins the same way as Puff of Luck. Adds a Multiplier Bar that sets the minimum multiplier for any Wilds and Epic Wilds that appear.
Fire and Fortune Epic: Awards 10 Epic Free Spins. Similar to Smoldering Riches, but with stronger conditions. Each spin guarantees a win and a Wild and or Epic Wild. The Multiplier Bar starts at x5. You cannot win extra Epic Free Spins in this mode.
Bonus Buy:
- BonusHunt FeatureSpins: 3x bet (boosts bonus chance).
- Flaming Hot Feature Spins: 50x bet (guarantees at least 1 Wild and 1 Dragon Egg each spin).
- Puff of Luck: 80x bet.
- Smoldering Riches: 200x bet.
- Fire and Fortune Epic: 1,000x bet.

Our verdict: Smoking Dragon

Smoking Dragon is a funny one because it looks chill and goofy, but the math can still bite when multipliers start stacking. The Row Cascades mechanic is the real heartbeat of the game, because it can keep a spin alive in a way normal tumbles do not. The Dragon Eggs are a cool headline moment with that 500x instant prize, though it can also feel like a tease if you keep landing only one or two. The best part is the clear ladder of bonuses, where 3, 4, and 5 scatters actually feel like meaningful upgrades, especially once the minimum multiplier bar shows up. If you want constant high volatility fireworks, this is not that, but for a lower volatility Hacksaw slot with a 10,000x cap, it’s a surprisingly fun ride.

Our rating 7.5/10
