BGaming commemorates the latest lunar zodiac animal with a touch of enchantment in Dragon’s Age: Hold and Win. This Oriental-inspired game showcases two bonus features, including free spins and gold respins, alongside a Dragon Head wild symbol and two Buy Bonus choices.
Unleash the dragon
A mystical heroine steers players towards substantial wins in this delightful release, boasting a 96.14% Return to Player (RTP). As players unlock the free spins and gold respins features, the heroine transforms into a radiant amber dragon, soaring into the sky and encircling the game grid.
Free spins
Upon spinning the reels, an array of Oriental symbols emerges, with three or more crystal egg Scatters landing on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger the initial Bonus game. This round presents 10 free spins with lucrative symbols. If three additional scatters appear during this phase, the free spins tally gets replenished.
Gold respins
To activate the second bonus game, Gold respins, players need to land six or more coins. During this round, each coin carries a value ranging from 1x to 20x of the bet and remains sticky on the reels. The plus spin symbol grants an additional respin, with multiple symbols accumulating for added respins. Achieving 15 coins during this phase rewards players with an impressive 5,000x Mega Jackpot.
The Dragon Head Wild symbol plays a pivotal role throughout the gameplay, substituting for all symbols in winning combinations except for scatters and coins. For those seeking expedited access to the Bonus games, Buy Bonus options are on hand if your jurisdiction allows.
Aliaksej Baliukonis, Game Designers Team Lead said:
Dragon Age: Hold and Win is our celebration of the lunar zodiac, with 2024 being the Year of the Dragon.
This slot features easy-to-follow Hold and Win mechanics, which are augmented by the two Bonus games options. Players will remain engaged as they watch the main character shape-shift and fly away, marking the borders of the reels as the Bonus game unfolds.”

Gamingslots review
Summary
Dragon Age is another hold-and-win feature game with 25 lines over 5 reels of 3 rows. So we get stacked symbols, including Wilds on all reels and 5-of-a-kinds from 20x down to 2x and scatters on the odd reels for your free games round. The main feature of this oriental themed slot is the hold-and-respin triggered by landing 6 or more coins which show values of 1 to 20x bet but you only get a fixed 6 spins as opposed to 3 resetting spins. Naturally with this mechanic a static 5,000x jackpot coin can be collected for the game's maximum pay. The 10 free games can be retriggered and tend to produce a lot of small wins. I would say you won't spend an age with this rather tame dragon.
