Dragon Gate Game Characteristics

The game’s basis is the alleged Dragon Gate waterfall—or, Longmen in Chinese; in Shanxi, China; along the Yellow River, or, Huang He)—that all koi fish try to surmount in vain hopes of consequently becoming dragons.

Featuring a backgrounding golden-and-orange sunburst on a splashy waterfall, Dragon Gate has a partitioned and patterned 5X3 grid that is embedded on a maroon pagoda framework.
Coins per line: $0.01, $0.02, $0.04, $0.08, $0.10, $0.20, $0.50, $0.80, $1.20, and $2.00. The Dragon Gate’s total bets (coinX25): $0.25 (minimum bet), $0.50, $1.00, $2.00, $2.50, $5.00, $12.50, $20.00, $30.00, and $50.00 (maximum bet).

The Dragon Gate’s special symbols: the substituting wild is a sunlit brown-and-purple pagoda gate on a waterfall; and the free mode-prompting and bet-multiplying scatter is paired pink fish-inspired yin-yang.
