Golden Dragon Inferno plays on a 5-reel grid offering 243 ways to win. During the base game, players benefit from stacked mystery symbols that transform into matching icons after each spin. A special nudging multiplier wild reel is exclusive to the third reel, which can nudge up or down to create a full wild stack for better win potential.

The hold and win bonus is triggered by landing 6 or more scattered bonus symbols on the reels. These symbols lock in place while new ones land during the respins to build up total prizes.
