Symbols

Dancing Drums features six playing card symbols, which are the lower-paying ones in this game. It is quite disappointing to see that the developer has not provided it an Oriental look. However, they still add up to help players increase their wins. Matching sets of the 9 cards, 10s, and Js can result in 0.15x wins, based on the stake. If the player lines up the A, K or Q symbols, he or she gets up to 0.20x the stake.

As to the high-pay symbols, the fortune coins provide a prize of up to 1x the stake, the ornaments result in a 1.5x prize, the golden lotus can reach 2x the stake, and the golden ships reward a player with a 4x prize. The most lucrative symbol is the Chinese guardian lions that bring the player a maximum prize of 8x the stake.

Bonuses

The wild symbol is represented as the framed Chinese symbol. It can appear on the second, third, and fourth reels. It can substitute all other symbols appearing on the reels. Additionally, its appearance can lead to the random triggering of the jackpot bonus.

When the jackpot round is triggered in this game, the gambler is brought to another screen, where he or she gets a choice of 12 fortune coins.
