Editor's Review
Jade Legends is Pragmatic Play's newest cluster slot, released in early August, and it takes the familiar 7x7 grid in a more oriental direction. The reels are filled with polished gems alongside lanterns, scrolls, fans, rings and crowns, all set against a rich jade backdrop that looks great on both desktop and mobile.
Wins are formed by clusters of five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Winning symbols explode and new ones tumble in to replace them, and this is where things get interesting. From the second explosion on the same position, that spot picks up a multiplier, and it keeps growing with every further win in the same place. A good tumble sequence can leave the grid covered in multipliers, ready to boost any cluster that lands over them.
The dragons are the real stars of the show. A Golden Dragon triggers Coin Collect, dropping Coin symbols onto the highlighted multiplier spots. The Jade Dragon does the same, but keeps the multipliers in place instead of resetting them, which is exactly what you want to see when the grid is loaded.
Free spins trigger with 4 scatters for 8 spins, and landing 5, 6 or 7 scatters upgrades you to Enhanced, Super or Ultra Free Spins, with each tier bringing stronger multiplier growth and more dragon action. If you would rather skip the wait, the Buy Feature offers standard free spins at 100x, Enhanced at 250x, Super at 750x, or a Random option at 200x. There is also an Ante Bet that boosts your chance of triggering the bonus, plus two Super Spin modes for players who want to go all in.
Volatility is high and the base game can take its time, so this is one to play with a sensible budget. With a 96.50% RTP (check the version your casino runs, as lower RTP settings exist) and a max win of 20,000x, Jade Legends is one of the most exciting cluster slots Pragmatic has released this year, and our pick for Game of the Week.
