Dragon's Luck Power Reels in South Africa: Dragon Coins, Mega Coins and 3,888x
Dragon's Luck Power Reels is a Red Tiger slot that, in the studio's words, 'builds on the classic hit with double the reels and rows'; Evolution's games site names that hit as Dragon's Luck. Red Tiger lists 10 reels, 6 rows and 30 play lines. By the game's help, all Dragon Coins in any single spin reveal identical symbols, the dragons on either side of the reels can spin the coins again, Mega Coins turn into multiple Dragon Coins, and 'reels full of 138 symbols' win 3888x the stake.

How Dragon's Luck Power Reels is laid out
On Red Tiger's page the grid reads 10x6 under Reels/Rows, ten reels of six rows each, with 30 under Play lines max. Under the heading SPECIAL SYMBOLS AND FEATURES the help has five entries, in this order: Dragon Coins, Dragon's Help, Mega Coins, MEGA FORTUNE and Multiple Paylines. None of them is a Wild or a free spins round, and Red Tiger's list of the game's figures has no feature buy.
The symbol images in the game's own files on Red Tiger's CDN show 10, J, Q and K as brush strokes in yellow, teal, purple and green, a red glyph in Chinese brush style, a pink lotus, a koi carp, a small figure with two long feathers in its headdress on a red disc, the number 138 in gold on a navy disc, and the Dragon Coin, a gold coin stamped with a dragon's face. The descriptions are ours; of these images, the help names only the Dragon Coins and the 138 symbols.
The last entry, Multiple Paylines, reads: 'The Multiple Paylines feature allows multiple symbols to form payouts in a single winline when enough are on adjacent positions.' Read literally, that lets one winline carry more than one payout, as long as enough symbols sit on adjacent positions (our reading).
Dragon Coins and the two dragons
Red Tiger's page describes the Dragon Coin as a coin that 'spins to reveal the secret symbol'. The help's first entry adds the rule that links every coin on the grid: 'The coins spin to reveal a mystery symbol beneath. All Dragon Coins in any single spin reveal identical symbols for more chances to win.'
Dragon's Help, the second entry, belongs to the dragons on either side of the reels; Red Tiger's own screenshot of the game draws them coiled round red pillars. The help's whole text for it is one sentence: 'When the dragons on either side of the reels awake, they spin the coins again for bigger wins.'
Mega Coins: from 3x3 up to the full 10x6
By the help, Mega Coins fill 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 or 10x6 symbols on the reels, 'Multiple Mega Coins can land on the reels', and 'Mega Coins turn into multiple Dragon Coins'. The help also promises a win when they land, without saying how large.
Taken together, the two coin rules mean, by our reading, that the Dragon Coins a Mega Coin turns into reveal the same symbol as the rest of that spin's coins. Red Tiger's page lists five coin names, Big, Super, Mega, Grand and Turbo, and the help lists five sizes; neither source says which name goes with which size.
How much of the grid each Mega Coin covers
Sizes from the help. Positions and shares are our arithmetic, against the 60 positions of the 10x6 grid on Red Tiger's page.
| Mega Coin size | Positions covered | Share of the grid |
|---|---|---|
| 3x3 | 9 | 15% |
| 4x4 | 16 | About 27% |
| 5x5 | 25 | About 42% |
| 6x6 | 36 | 60% |
| 10x6 | 60 | 100%, every position |
MEGA FORTUNE: reels full of 138 symbols
The fourth entry is a single line: 'Win 3888x your stake with reels full of 138 symbols!' Among the game's symbol images, 138 is the gold number on a navy disc, so we read 'reels full' as every position on the grid showing that symbol; 138 separate symbols would not fit on 60 positions.
Red Tiger's page shows the same number under Max payout, '3 888 x bet', and Evolution's games site says 'Win up to 3,888x stake'. Both are the group's own figures, and the help ties the number to that one screen of 138s. For scale only, 3,888 times an example R10 stake is R38,880, by our arithmetic.
The published figures: 22.11%, HIGH or Mid, 2022 or 2018
On Red Tiger's page, 22.11% stands next to Hit Frequency. Taken as the share of spins that win something, over an example run of 90 spins that is about 20 wins and 70 spins without one, by our arithmetic.
On volatility the group's two sites part ways. HIGH is the word on the badge of Red Tiger's page; Evolution's games site files the same game under Mid. Our facts panel goes with the studio's own badge, and for what a volatility label can tell you, see our RTP and volatility guide.
They part ways on the date as well. Red Tiger's page gives the release date as 15 June 2022, while Evolution's games site gives the release year as 2018. On the return they agree: 96.10% on both. No staking pattern or betting system beats the house edge at that return.

Dragon's Luck Power Reels FAQ ❓
What does Power Reels mean in this game?
Red Tiger's description says the game 'builds on the classic hit with double the reels and rows', and its page lists a 10x6 grid with 30 play lines. The help does not define Power Reels itself; its five entries are Dragon Coins, Dragon's Help, Mega Coins, MEGA FORTUNE and Multiple Paylines.
How do Dragon Coins and Mega Coins work together?
In the help's words, 'All Dragon Coins in any single spin reveal identical symbols for more chances to win', and 'Mega Coins turn into multiple Dragon Coins'. By our reading of the two rules, the coins a Mega Coin becomes share that spin's symbol too. When the dragons on either side of the reels awake, they spin the coins again.
What is the biggest payout Red Tiger lists for this game?
Red Tiger's page lists '3 888 x bet' as the Max payout, and the help's MEGA FORTUNE entry gives the same 3888x for reels full of 138 symbols. R5 times 3,888 is R19,440 (our arithmetic, an example stake). The figure is Red Tiger's, and it says nothing about what any spin will pay.
Is it the same game as Dragon's Luck, Deluxe or Megaways?
No. Red Tiger's site has four separate pages: Dragon's Luck, Dragon's Luck Deluxe, Dragon's Luck Megaways and Dragon's Luck Power Reels, each a game of its own. This page covers the Power Reels game, so check that the casino's tile carries those two words.
