Dragon Lanterns is an Ocean Magic like slot machine by Gimmie Games that has the expanding wilds feature that Ocean Magic is known for. However, it does just enough to differentiate itself that you don’t feel like you are playing a copycat.
The first and most noticeable difference is that you can win progressives on Dragon Lanterns. Progressives are won when a lantern which has a progressive attached to it lands on a Dragon Lanterns symbol. Like Ocean Magic it will turn into an expanding wild & then award you the progressive. The cool thing about these progressive lanterns is that they can be won more than once as they rise up the screen by one spot with each subsequent spin.
The second difference is something that would be noticed if you were to play Dragon Lanterns for a decent period of time & that is you’re likely to actually see a bonus. Unlike Ocean Magic which has a notoriously difficult to hit bonus, the bonus on Dragon Lanterns hits at a far higher rate. Just like the progressives, the free games bonus is attached to lanterns which come up from column 3 & it too can be hit again as it rises up the screen. These two differences make Dragon Lanterns a more engaging slot machine than Ocean Magic.
What to look for and how to advantage play Dragon Lanterns?
It is a bit annoying but you have to insert money into Dragon Lanterns in order to check it for advantage plays. This is a multi-denominational game so put in enough money to check all the way up to nickel denomination. You hustle Dragon Lanterns the same way you would Ocean Magic & like OM there’s a regular bet as well as a more expensive ante bet that has more lanterns show up. Play any lantern that shows up on the first four columns. Column five lanterns are to be avoided unless there is a progressive attached to them.
