SUMMARY
The Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin slot comes with a plethora of bonus rounds. The impressive thing about the bonus rounds is that they may be triggered via two routes with one of those being the regular “get lucky” way or instantly by just paying to activate which is available in most countries but UK as players cannot access bonus buys. Apparently UK players need to be wrapped up in cotton wool for their own safety.
Overall this is one fabulous Pragmatic Play slot to play, we love the combination of Megaways combined with Hold & Spin plus it’s great Asian theme make it a must play game.
