Theme of the game
Just as the title of this new slot would suggest, Dragon Shrine is an oriental-themed game with a contemporary twist to its graphics and gameplay as well. This is the first time game developers Quickspin have created an oriental theme and it must be said they have indeed met the expectations.
Set on a blue, skyline background which offers a hallucinogenic feel of sort, the Dragon Shrine pokie features excellent graphic accompanied with soothing and relaxing soundtrack.
There are 5 reels in this game with three rows on the first and the final reel and four rows in the middle tree reels which gives a special gem-like look to the playing grid. The total of 40 paylines can be found in this game which offers two bonus features with re-spins, free spins and locked wilds.

How to Play it
The unusual 3-4-4-4-3 outlay is filled with symbols which include four different gemstones and high-value playing cards, accompanied by a Dragon symbols which are responsible for all the fun during the base game. The game also features a Wild, which substitutes for all symbols other than Scatter, presented as a green Chinese temple.
Despite the odd-looking reel grid, the playing pattern is quite a usual one as players need to land a matching combination of at least three low-value symbols starting from left to right in order to land a winning combination, while the special symbols in the game – Dragon symbol and the Wild – will reward you even when you nail only two of them on the reels.
There is a nice twist to the main game though with the aforementioned Dragon symbol, which appears fully stacked on the first reel to trigger the Dragon Stack Respin feature.
During this feature all Dragon and Wild symbols will be locked on the reels for the duration of three re-spins. Any additional Dragon and Wild symbols will also be locked which will ultimately enhance your winning potential significantly.

Special Features
Round green Chinese temple bonus symbols are all you need to look for in order to initiate the Free Spins bonus mode.
Landing three of those symbols anywhere in the middle reels will trigger ten free spins during which this oriental-themed game will pay both ways much to our own delight.
What is more, during the free spins feature the Dragon Stack re-spin can be triggered from a full set of Dragon symbols on either reel 1 or 5. Once you get them, a second full stack of those symbols will be mirrored to the opposite reel.
The free spins feature is active until there are no free games left, but the good news is they can be re-triggered by landing 3 Bonus Scatters anytime during the feature.
Maximum Payout
The total of 40 paying lines is available for as little as $0.20 as the initial total bet. The game is however available at $80 total stake, which can be a bit too pricey knowing that the highest of all the low-value denominations will earn you only $100 on the maximum bet.
Five Dragon symbols however will be worth $240, although you should be advised that during the Dragon Stack Respin feature there is a good chance you will land more than just five of them.
The Wild symbol is the highest-paying one in the game, awarding $800 for five on the trot. This medium variance game however, offers plenty of winning potential during the Free Spins and you will be happy to learn you can hope to nail a win potentially worth 871x your stake.
Summary
Quickspin has stepped out of their comfort zone when they decided to create an oriental theme for the first time ever. Initially called Dragon Diamond, the Dragon Shrine is a highly exciting game, simple yet so engaging. We have stacked symbols, locked Wilds, lots of re-spins and a powerful Free Spins bonus to thank for that though.
