Once triggered, the regular grid changes into a 3x3 bonus area that holds eight mini slot machines. Each mini machine can land dragon symbol parts or blanks, and every third of a dragon symbol counts as one symbol on that mini machine.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;text-align:justify;\"\u003eThe feature plays out in rounds. During each round, every active mini machine spins and produces a result. A mini machine awards a prize when three adjacent dragon symbols land from left to right starting from the leftmost reel on that machine. When a mini machine wins, we see that machine stay active for the next round.

Possible envelope values are 2x, 3x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x or 10x the bet. The total multiplier then applies to those revealed amounts, and the final total is paid once the envelope values are added together.

The base game is straightforward, and we wouldn’t pretend the 10 payline setup carries much mystery by itself. The visual style is also familiar territory, with dragons, coins and blossom trees doing exactly what the title quietly shouted they would do. However, the Mini Slot Machine Bonus gives the review more to chew on. Eight mini machines spinning, winning, locking and possibly feeding into the Envelope Bonus makes the feature round feel busier than the main game.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;text-align:justify;\"\u003eWe’d have liked more restraint in the presentation, because the theme arrives wearing every accessory in the wardrobe.
