Hacksaw Gaming Launches Smoking Dragon Slot Featuring Three Bonus Games
iGaming studio Hacksaw Gaming has unveiled its latest slot – Smoking Dragon.
The Asian-themed game is played on a 5x4 grid with 1,024 paylines.
It has a 10,000x maximum win, 96.3% RTP, and low volatility – a combination that will make it popular with new and novice players, as well as those who like to avoid long dry patches.
The Smoking Dragon Slot
According to Hacksaw Gaming, the Smoking Dragon has just woken from a long sleep and is looking to take back the skies.
Symbols include Asian-inspired creatures, with red and yellow dragon heads representing wild and epic wilds.
1,024 paylines mean wins are paid for landing matching symbols anywhere on adjacent reels, and doing so will trigger a cascading row.
Rather than removing the winning symbols, which is how a lot of cascading mechanics work, Smoking Dragon removes all symbols from the bottom row.

The remaining symbols drop down a position, and new symbols appear at the top.
Cascades can lead to additional wins, which, in turn, yield more cascades, and so the wins can rack up.
The game’s low volatility means wins happen fairly often, but prizes on the reels are quite low, typically paying up to a maximum of 5x the stake for landing five wilds.
Additionally, a 500x jackpot can be won by landing three golden egg symbols anywhere on the grid, but greater riches await players in the three bonus games.

Smoking Dragon Bonus Games
All bonus games are triggered by landing FS scatter symbols.
Three FS symbols start the Puff Of Luck bonus game and the player receives 10 free spins.
During these spins, there is an increased chance of landing special symbols – wilds, epic wilds, and golden eggs.
Four FS symbols award the player 10 free spins and, as well as an increased chance of landing special symbols, the Smoldering Riches bonus round also introduces a multiplier bar.
The bar starts at 1x, but for every ten cascades that occur during the bonus round, it increases one level. Levels are 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, and 25x.
Five FS symbols launches the Fire and Fortune bonus game. This adds a guaranteed win and at least one wild or epic wild with every spin. The multiplier bar also starts at 5x.
Smoking Dragon is the latest slot from Hacksaw Gaming, following on from the release of Toshi Ways Club at the end of December.
Toshi Ways Club offers a similar bonus game mechanic to Smoking Dragon, with scatter symbols yielding one of three bonus respin games.
It is also another title from the studio that benefits from an Asian theme, although it offers a muted colour palette and Maneki Neko symbols, rather than dragons and Chinese zodiac symbols, and it boasts more than a million ways to win.
The studio is also well known for its Smokie Le Bandit range, which will be expanded in February with the launch of Le Fishermen on February 5.
