Fucanglong is a mythical Chinese long dragon that has small wings and cannot fly. But this fierce beast lies in the underworld guarding over a hoard of riches. Fucanglong is also the name of the new online slot game from Realtime Gaming that has just gone live at online casinos like Club World, Silver Oak and Manhattan Slots.

Realtime Gaming has raised the quality of their slot games in the recent past with titles like The Big Bopper and Ghost Ship. Fucanglong is from the same stock. Released just ahead of the Chinese New Year, the background to the reels is full of red and gold which symbolise wealth in China. Fucanglong is the wild symbol that appears on all reels except for the first. The high paying symbols are the God of Wealth and Dragon Mother. There are no playing cards for the low paying symbols. Instead you have a variety of Chinese icons like treasure chests, gongs and coins. The animations are simply awesome and the sound effects are appropriate.

Fucanglong has two scatter symbols. Both award payouts multiplied by the total bet and trigger different bonus features. The Dragon Mountain awards 8 free spins to start with when three or more symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Any re-trigger adds three extra free spins and increases the multiplier by 1x. The multiplier can increase up to a maximum of 8x. If the feature was retriggered by either 4 or 5 scatter symbols then the dragon becomes an expanding wild.

The Dragon Pearl scatter symbol also starts the feature with 8 free spins when three or more appear anywhere on the reels. The pearl hides a win value multiplier of 3x to 88x the triggering bet and is revealed after the free spins are completed. If you have won an amount equal to this value then the feature will end. But if you have won less than this amount then you move to the Fucanglong feature. Here you keep playing free spins till the feature value reaches the pearl value. But the amazing thing is that the pearl value can increase by up to 8x with each free spin up to a maximum of 888x. During the Fucanglong feature the dragon appears as an expanded wild.

Fucanglong is a 1024 ways online slot game with a 5x4 structure. The line payouts will obviously be on the lower side as a result, but the bonus features add the volatility. The total bet per spin can be increased till $7.50.
