About the Game

Coins of Dragon: Hold and Win draws on Chinese dragon mythology, gold coins and fortune symbolism for its theme. Betsoft chose a 3x3 grid with 5 fixed paylines, a rare compact layout next to the standard 5x3 setup most pokies use.

The DRAGON BONUS symbol works as a collector on reel 2, gathering the value of every BONUS symbol that lands during the respins. Four fixed prize tiers pay 25x, 50x, 200x and 3,000x stake per symbol. A Pot of Gold modifier plus a Buy Bonus option sit alongside the core feature.

Choosing a licensed Coins of Dragon casino in Australia opens up a demo mode, KYC-verified withdrawals and AUD deposits before any real-money spins.

Dragon Bonus Collector

The DRAGON BONUS symbol only appears on reel 2, across its three positions. On its own it carries no payout. Its entire role is to collect the values of new BONUS symbols that land while the Hold & Win feature runs.

Once the 3 respins begin, any DRAGON BONUS symbol locks in place and stays on the board until the feature ends. Every time it collects a value, the BONUS symbol clears from the board and the respin counter resets to 3. The dragon locks in and the respins reset to three, so the round can continue as long as new BONUS symbols keep landing.

Up to 3 DRAGON BONUS symbols can occupy reel 2 at once, matching its three positions. When two of them sit on the board together, each new BONUS value gets collected twice. When two dragons hold the reel, every coin counts twice.

Pot of Gold

Pot of Gold is a base-game modifier, not a separate bonus round. It fires when one BONUS symbol and one DRAGON BONUS symbol land on the reels at the same time. That is the minimum condition needed to trigger Hold & Win.

When it activates, extra positions on the grid can randomly convert into BONUS or DRAGON BONUS symbols before the spin settles. That symbol conversion can add trigger symbols to a spin that started with fewer of them.

The practical effect is a better trigger chance. A spin already close to 3 BONUS symbols with a DRAGON BONUS present is more likely to trigger the feature immediately.

Hold & Win Feature

Landing 3 or more scattered BONUS symbols starts Coins of Dragon: Hold & Win with 3 respins. The feature only opens if at least one DRAGON BONUS symbol sits on the screen at the moment of the trigger. Regular payline wins stop paying during the feature. The board works purely to collect BONUS values, and once respins run out, every value the dragons collected pays out as a single total.

MINI Prize

MINI is the most common of the four tiers and pays 25x stake for every symbol a dragon collects. It typically forms the bulk of the smaller additions that build up across a respin run.

Each MINI symbol adds exactly 25x regardless of how many respins have already passed, so its value never scales up or down during the feature.

MINOR Prize

MINOR pays 50x stake per symbol and lands less often than MINI, though the collection mechanic is identical between the two tiers.

Multiple MINOR symbols can sit on the board at once, waiting for a DRAGON BONUS to reach them. Each one still resets the respin counter to 3 when it clears.

MAJOR Prize

MAJOR jumps to 200x stake per symbol, a clear step up from MINOR in raw value.

This is the tier where respins start to move the total noticeably, especially with 2 DRAGON BONUS symbols collecting the same MAJOR value twice.

GRAND Prize

GRAND is the rarest of the four tiers and pays 3,000x stake for a single collected symbol, the main source of the game's largest wins.

Getting close to the theoretical top payout needs several GRAND symbols filling reels 1 and 3 before the respins run out. Both DRAGON BONUS symbols also need to be present for the doubled collection. That combination is rare, not a guaranteed outcome of every feature.

Symbols & Paytable

The paytable lists multipliers of the stake for 3 matching symbols on a payline. Coins of Dragon: Hold and Win pays the highest combination per line across its 5 fixed paylines, and matching wins on different lines add together.

WILD substitutes for every symbol except BONUS and DRAGON BONUS and can appear on any reel. BONUS and DRAGON BONUS carry no line payout of their own. Their role is covered in the Dragon Bonus Collector and Hold & Win Feature sections above.

Symbol Payout (x bet)
Dragon head Wild symbol from Coins of Dragon: Hold and Win paytable 3 symbols: 10.00x
Gold ingot symbol from Coins of Dragon: Hold and Win paytable 3 symbols: 5.00x

Firecrackers symbol from Coins of Dragon: Hold and Win paytable 3 symbols: 0.60x

Fan symbol from Coins of Dragon: Hold and Win paytable 3 symbols: 0.20x

Buy Bonus

The BUY BONUS button skips straight to Hold & Win with a guaranteed 3 respins, priced at a flat 50.00x stake. There is only one price point, unlike pokies that sell several bonus-buy tiers, so no options table applies here.

Buy Bonus availability depends on the casino operator and its own responsible-gambling policy. Not every AU-facing casino switches the button on by default.

RTP, Volatility & Hit Rate

RTP sits at 96.02%, volatility is Very High, and the Hit Rate of 30.85% means roughly one in three spins returns some payout. Most of the big wins cluster in the Hold & Win respins, not the base game.

Given the very high volatility and how rare the GRAND tier is, smaller bets pay off in spin count. Betting near the bottom of the range, around A$0.20–A$0.50, buys more spins toward a Hold & Win trigger on this Coins of Dragon pokie. That approach favors reaching the feature more often over one large bet aimed at a single result.

How to Play Coins of Dragon

Getting into Coins of Dragon Hold and Win for real money takes a few steps, from picking a casino to setting a bet size.

Step 1

Pick a trusted AU casino

Choose a licensed online casino that accepts AUD and carries Betsoft games in its library.

Step 2

Register and verify

Create an account and complete KYC verification if the casino requires it before withdrawals.

Step 3

Choose a deposit method

Select PayID, POLi, Visa/Mastercard or a bank transfer to fund the account in AUD.

Step 4

Add funds

Deposit in AUD and confirm the balance shows up before opening any game.

Step 5

Find the slot and try the demo

Search for Coins of Dragon: Hold and Win or browse the Betsoft section, then run the demo to get familiar with the respins.

Step 6

Switch to real money

Set a bet between A$0.20 and A$35.00 and launch a spin or autospin.

Coins of Dragon on Mobile

AU players spend a large share of their casino time on phones. The 3x3 format fits a portrait screen well, without needing to rotate the device for a full view of the reels.

Platform Minimum
iOS iOS 14+ / Safari 14+
Android Android 8+ / Chrome 90+

Open the casino's mobile site or app, log into the account, then find Coins of Dragon through search or the Betsoft section and tap Play.

  • Autospin can be paused automatically on iOS Safari when low-power mode is active.
  • Rotating to portrait rebuilds the interface around the 3x3 column instead of a wide layout.
  • Fullscreen mode is available through the mobile browser's own settings menu, not an in-game toggle.

Most AU mobile traffic runs through Telstra, Optus or Vodafone networks. A stable Wi-Fi or 4G connection lowers the chance of a drop-out mid-way through a multi-respin Hold & Win run.

Responsible Gambling Tips

Set a deposit and bet limit before starting a session, particularly when using Buy Bonus to jump straight into a 50x-stake purchase. Given the Very High volatility here, a fixed limit keeps a losing run from escalating.

Players in Australia can reach Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 for support. The National Self-Exclusion Register is another option for a pause or a longer break from play.

FAQ

Each new BONUS symbol gets collected once per DRAGON BONUS present on reel 2. With 2 DRAGON BONUS symbols on screen, every BONUS value pays out twice before the respin counter resets to 3.

Mechanically they collect the same way, through a locked DRAGON BONUS on reel 2. The only difference is the fixed value: 25x, 50x, 200x and 3,000x stake, with GRAND landing far less often than the other three.

Pot of Gold can convert extra base-game positions into BONUS or DRAGON BONUS symbols after a spin lands. That conversion raises the odds of hitting the 3 BONUS symbols plus one DRAGON BONUS needed to start the feature on that same spin.

Buy Bonus costs a flat 50.00x stake and takes the player straight into Hold & Win with 3 guaranteed respins. There are no alternative price tiers to pick from on this Coins of Dragon slot.

Most AU-facing casinos offer a demo mode with play credits. It shows how the respins and the DRAGON BONUS collector work before switching to AUD stakes.

The respin counter simply counts down by one, with no value added to the total. Once it reaches zero without a new collection, the feature ends and pays out whatever the dragons already gathered.
