Game Overview
There are two types of Dragons, at least in terms of how they’re seen in the slot industry. You have the fire-breathing winged monsters you’re probably accustomed to from Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings, and then there’s the lucky kind you’ll find throughout Asian culture. Today, it’s the latter we’re treated to, which at least means we might be fortunate enough to win some good payouts rather than a faceful of flames. So, what is this latest title called? Let me fill you in. Fulong 88 is an Asian-themed slot from Play’n Go with 5 reels, 3 rows, 243 ways-to-win as standard, and a 5,000x max win.
As for the features, Fulong 88 has its fair share, starting with wild symbols that can potentially split into two and increase the ways to win the spins as a result. You also have the option of uPGrading up to five premium symbols, increasing their payouts and unlocking up to four fixed jackpots, the biggest of which is worth a staggering 25,000x the stake. The catch is that uPGrading will increase your bet by up to a maximum of 88x. Finally, a free spins bonus gives you spins with all low-value symbols removed and guaranteed split wilds. Coin symbols are also guaranteed to trigger the Jackpot game, which is random during the base game.

Fulong 88 Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
If, like me, you’ve noticed quite a few Asian slots featuring Dragons in recent months, there’s a very good reason for this. It is the Year of the Dragon on the Chinese calendar, and that’s a big deal as babies born during the year will have characteristics such as confidence, ambitions, and intelligence, while they’re also more likely to enjoy good luck. Birth rates are said to increase exponentially during a Dragon year, while we also experience the birth of more Dragon-themed slots. Check out our free Pragmatic slots page to play Fortune Dragon and Year of the Dragon King as evidence of this, or visit the PG demo page for more slot games themed around this almighty beast.
First of all, it’s important that I point out you have the option to upgrade the premium symbols in return for an increased bet. I’ll get into that in more detail later, but as standard, you’ll have just the one free upgraded symbol, the Rabbit. Assuming you opt against uPGrading others, it is the top-paying symbol on the reels and pays 10x the stake for a five-symbol combination. If they’re not upgraded, the remaining Bird, Tiger, Turtle, and Frog symbols all have a max return of 5x the stake when five line up across the reels. If upgraded, the Bird is worth up to 125x, while the Tiger, Turtle, and Frog pay up to 62.5x, 37.5x, and 25x, respectively. The Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten symbols all pay 5x the stake for a winning combo of five.
UPGrading symbols also has an effect on the staking options at your disposal. Without making any upgrades, you can choose to stake between €0.08 and €8.00 per spin. However, that betting range can be as high as €0.88 and €88.00 per spin with all symbols upgraded. Notice the 88 references? 88, also present in this slot’s title, is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture, so I guess the message here is to upgrade your symbols if you want the best of luck!
Fulong 88 Slot Base Game & Modifiers
The Fulong 88 slot uses a 5-reel and 3-row reel format and offers 243 ways to win as standard. Theoretically, that can increase to a maximum of 576 payways due to the splitting wilds I’ll discuss shortly. You’ll pick up wins whenever three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel.
Splitting Wilds
Wild symbols can appear in any position on the reels and will substitute for any regular symbol if it can help create a winning combination. There is a chance that a wild symbol will split into two and increase the number of available ways to win. Essentially, the wild symbol now counts as two wild symbols on the same reel.
upgraded Symbols & Fixed Jackpots
During the base game, you’ll notice five clickable symbols to the left of the reels. By clicking these, you’ll upgrade that specific high-valued symbol on the reels to a Golden symbol. These multiply your base game spin bet up to a maximum of 88x and unlock higher-valued symbol payouts for the premium symbols. Additionally, they’ll unlock fixed jackpots you can potentially win on any random spin. The first symbol is upgraded by default, but unlock more, and you’ll unlock the following fixed jackpots:
- Mini (2 upgraded symbols): 250x
- Minor (3 upgraded symbols): 468.75x
- Major (4 upgraded symbols): 9,375x
- Grand (5 upgraded symbols): 25,000x
Coins & The Jackpot Game
If you’re spinning the reels with at least two upgraded symbols, coin symbols can land in any position on the reels. These are collected by the Fulong Dragon above the reels, and the position from which they’re collected transforms them into wild symbols. Whenever coins are collected, there is a chance the Jackpot Game will trigger.
During the bonus game, you pick symbols until you match three symbols associated with one of the unlocked jackpots. At that point, you’re credited with the jackpot win.
Fulong 88 Slot Bonus Features
Unless you’re lucky enough to scoop one of the jackpots during the base game, your best chance of big payouts will come via a free spins bonus game. You’ll trigger this feature when three or more scatters land on the reels following a base game spin.
Free Spins Feature
You’ll receive 10 initial free spins to begin the feature, but an additional 10 up to a maximum of 150 can be won whenever three or more scatter symbols land on the reels. During this feature, all low-value symbols are removed from the reels, wild symbols will always split into two, and the Jackpot Bonus is guaranteed to trigger whenever a coin symbol is collected.
Pros
- Graphically great - one of Play’n Go’s standard traits.
Cons
- Low max win.
- Overused theme.
Fulong 88 Slot Review Final Thoughts
