Read full reviewListed RTP is 96.70%. Builds at 95.69% and 94.62% are also listed, so the card shows 96.70% and stores 94.62%–96.70% as the range.
Reels 1 and 6 show up to six symbols, and three upper rows above reels 2–5 lock or unlock at random on every spin. Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, only unlocked positions count, and 147,456 is a maximum rather than a fixed number. Winning symbols vanish and new ones tumble in until no further win forms. A Wild appears only in the top upper row, and in the base game all Mystery symbols turn into the same paying symbol.
The listed RTP is 96.70%, with 95.69% and 94.62% builds also listed. A round stops at once when it reaches 20,000× the total bet.
Floating Dragon New Year Festival suits readers who like to follow how a bonus total is built, at a listed RTP of 96.70%. It is less suited to anyone who wants a short, transparent payline game, steady small returns or a low-cost session.
Three, four, five or six Scatters award 10, 15, 20 or 25 Free Spins on special reels. The Lady appears only here, outside the top row, and each Lady collects the values of all Fish Money symbols on the grid. Fish Money values run from 2× to 5,000× the total bet and are not cleared by tumbles during the feature. Every fourth collected Lady adds ten spins and sets the Fish Money multiplier for the retriggered spins at 2×, then 3×, then 10×, then ten points higher each time. The higher multiplier does not raise collections already paid in the earlier batch.
Three or more Coin Money and/or Diamond Money symbols start the round. Coin Money carries 1× to 30× the total bet and Diamond Money 50× to 2,000×. The triggering symbols stay locked and three respins begin. Each new money symbol locks, resets the counter to three and adds the values of the money symbols then on the grid to the running total. The bonus pays at least 20× the total bet; if the respins end below that, three more are granted.
Ante Bet lifts the bet multiplier from 20× to 30×, shown as $3.00 at the $2.00 demo bet, for extra Scatter chances, and it disables Buy Free Spins. Buy Free Spins costs 100× the total bet, shown as $200.00, and Buy Hold & Spin costs 120×, shown as $240.00. Operators may limit which purchases are offered.
The round ends at 20,000× the total bet and any remaining spins or respins are lost.
Set a money limit and a time limit before spinning. Ante Bet adds 50% to every base spin and the feature buys cost 100× or 120× the bet, so count each purchase as its own large expense and do not chase a Lady retrigger or a bigger Diamond.

Pragmatic Play’s materials and operator rule documents list Floating Dragon New Year Festival at a theoretical RTP of 96.70%, with 95.69% and 94.62% builds also listed. The card displays 96.70% and stores 94.62%–96.70% as the span. Operators class the slot as High volatility. RTP is a long-run theoretical return, not a forecast for one session or one purchased bonus. The 20,000× figure is a hard round limit expressed as a multiple of the total bet, not a profit and not a probability. It is separate from a single Fish Money value of up to 5,000× or a Diamond Money value of up to 2,000×.

Publication status: Document-based review against Pragmatic Play’s game page, two operator rule documents, a separate operator RTP listing and the attached demo frames; no cash session is represented.
Rules. Checked the variable upper rows, tumbles, Wild, Mystery, Fish Money, Lady collection, Hold & Spin, Ante Bet, feature purchases and the 20,000× stop rule against the detailed rules.
Retriggers. Kept the retrigger multiplier separate from collections already paid and confirmed it applies to the retriggered spins only.
Paytable. Compared the ten paying symbols with the in-game paytable shown at a $2.00 bet and converted the figures to total-bet multiples.
RTP. The 96.70% listing sets the displayed figure; the 95.69% and 94.62% builds from operator documents set the low end of the range.
Stakes. The €0.20–€360 stake range comes from one Latvian operator’s rules and is not treated as a worldwide limit.

Listed RTP is 96.70%, with builds at 95.69% and 94.62% also listed. RTP is a long-run theoretical return, not the chance of winning one spin.
Up to 147,456. Three upper rows over reels 2–5 lock or unlock at random on each spin, so the number of active ways changes and 147,456 is a maximum, not a guarantee.
Three or more Scatters trigger Free Spins: 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters award 10, 15, 20 or 25 spins on special reels.
Each Lady in Free Spins collects the values of all Fish Money symbols visible on the grid. Every fourth Lady adds ten spins and sets a collection multiplier of 2×, 3× and 10× on the first three retriggers, then ten points higher each time.
No. The higher multiplier applies to the retriggered spins played after the current batch ends, not to Fish Money already collected.
Three or more Coin Money and/or Diamond Money symbols start it. They lock, three respins begin and every new money symbol resets the counter to three and adds the values then on the grid. The bonus pays at least 20× the total bet.
Ante Bet raises the bet multiplier from 20× to 30×, which is 50% more, and disables Buy Free Spins. Buy Free Spins costs 100× the total bet and Buy Hold & Spin 120×, where offered.
No. It is a hard round limit. When total wins reach 20,000× the total bet the round ends at once, the win is paid and any remaining spins or respins are lost.
No. Fish Money cash can be collected only in Free Spins, by a Lady. In the base game the symbol acts as an ordinary paying symbol.
