9 Burning Dragons (Wazdan) – Review & Demo Play

9 Burning Dragons - Game Overview

I went into 9 Burning Dragons for its simple yet engaging mechanics and got exactly that. This 9‑reel, 3x3 slot uses a pay anywhere approach with oriental symbols and a straight route into the Hold the Jackpot bonus when three Bonus symbols land. Wilds help in the base game, but the grid feels purposefully barebones between hits. The appeal lies in quick spins, a low entry threshold, and the chance to chase fixed prizes that scale cleanly all the way up to 2,187x the stake.

Oriental Theme and Design in 9 Burning Dragons

The Popular Oriental Theme wraps everything in reds and golds, with dragons breathing the fire of wins across a compact reel set. Pots full of shiny gems, golden ingots and lucky horseshoes sit alongside sizzling J, Q, K and A, and it all comes together without clutter. The grid is framed like a dragon’s cavern, so spins feel focused rather than flashy. It suits quick sessions where I want clean visuals and simple feedback when combinations connect.

Audio sits in the background and never shouts over the action. I can ramp the pace with Ultra Fast Mode when I fancy a truly dynamic reel‑spinning run, or keep things steady for a calmer rhythm. Animations are short, which helps the tempo, and the 3x3 layout always stays readable on mobile. It feels like a classic Wazdan presentation: tidy, responsive and built around that core Bonus chase rather than long cutscenes or oversized effects.

9 Burning Dragons Symbols and Paytable

You win by landing 4 to 9 matching symbols anywhere on the 3x3 grid, and only the highest combination pays per spin. The paytable steps up neatly: 4 of a kind pays 0.5x to 2x your stake depending on the symbol, while full‑screen 9 of a kind wins range from 4x to 200x. A wild symbol substitutes for all regular pay symbols to help complete wins, but the wild carries no payout of its own.

Golden dragon Bonus symbols don’t pay in the base game; they trigger the Hold the Jackpot feature instead when three land anywhere. Regular icons keep the theme consistent, with pots of gems, golden ingots and lucky horseshoes backing up the card royals. The pay anywhere system fits the compact 9‑reel setup, so I never worry about lines. It’s straightforward to read after a few spins, and the full‑screen hits provide a clear target while I chase the larger fixed prizes.

9 Burning Dragons Slot Features

The base game is pretty barebones, and that’s by design. Wilds step in to connect outcomes, the pay anywhere system does the heavy lifting, and I can keep the tempo high with turbo at full tilt. I can choose from three pace settings and pick a volatility level that suits how I’m playing. After any win, the optional gamble lets me go double or nothing up to seven times in a row via a simple colour pick.

When I want straight access to the Bonus, the Buy Feature is there in eligible markets. It’s a two‑click route into Hold the Jackpot with three triggering symbols and costs 50x the stake, matching what the game advertises. I use it when the session calls for a quick hit rather than a grind. If you’re in a region where purchases are restricted, you’re back to hunting three Bonus symbols on the grid.

At the centre of everything is Hold the Jackpot, while the base game tops out at 200x your stake for a full‑screen hit. The feature doubles as the game’s win cap route, with the Grand Jackpot worth 2,187x acting as the ceiling. I like the way progressions are framed as clear steps, so every new symbol feels meaningful. It keeps the rhythm tight and stops the session drifting, especially when turbo is on and the grid is snapping into place.

9 Burning Dragons - RTP, Volatility and Max Win

The default RTP sits at 96.12%, which is bang on for this series. Volatility is high out of the box, but Wazdan’s Volatility Levels let me switch to a gentler or sharper ride without changing the maths under the hood. Max win aligns with the Grand Jackpot at 2,187x the stake, and that figure acts as a hard cap. On the base game side, full‑screen wins can reach 200x, so there’s still bite even before the Bonus lands.

Released on 25 May 2022, 9 Burning Dragons runs on a compact 3x3 grid across nine reels, using a pay anywhere system rather than fixed lines. The numbers are tidy and transparent: three Bonus symbols guarantee entry to the feature, and even the smallest outcome there pays 3x the stake. Sessions feel easy to shape thanks to pace controls, and the optional gamble adds a measured layer of risk for players who like stretching smaller wins between Bonus attempts.

Review Summary of 9 Burning Dragons Slot

9 Burning Dragons is a simple, yet entertaining, 3x3 slot that plays to Wazdan’s strengths. I can tweak volatility and pace, lean on wilds for line‑ups, and use the gamble when a base hit feels worth a punt. The Hold the Jackpot ladder gives clear targets from 3x up to the 2,187x Grand, and the 50x Buy option adds flexibility where available. I reach for it when I want a compact format with a crisp Bonus chase.
