About the Game
The 888 Dragon’s Fortune Hold and Win video game by Spinning Whale is a video slot featuring 3 reels, 3 rows, and 5 paylines. The game is played with active paylines (5 lines in total).
The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the Coin and Collector symbols, helping to form winning combinations.
The Wild symbol helps form the highest-value winning combination according to the paytable.
Winning combinations are awarded when identical symbols land consecutively from left to right along active paylines, starting from the leftmost reel.
A winning combination pays from left to right along an active payline. Only the highest win on an active payline is paid out. In the event of a malfunction, all wins are voided.

When it lands, it becomes “sticky” and moves down one position with each spin until it exits the reels.
While on the reels, the Collector symbol collects all Coin values present.
The Collector symbol is not a Wild symbol and does not affect payline wins.
In the base game, Collector symbols can appear stacked.
A maximum of three Collector symbols can appear simultaneously on the second reel.
In the bonus round, a newly landed Collector symbol collects all values already accumulated by other Collector symbols on the reels, increasing volatility and potential winnings.
Hold & Win Feature
The Hold & Win feature triggers when at least one coin lands on reels 1 and 3, and at least one Collector symbol lands on reel 2.
This feature can also be activated randomly (via a mystery trigger). Coins accumulate in a special stack above the reels, and the feature triggers when the stack fills up.
If the feature is activated but no Collector symbols are present on the screen, one Collector symbol is randomly placed on the middle reel.
3 respins are awarded. The respin counter resets to 3 whenever a new Coin, Dragon, or Collector symbol lands.
The maximum number of respins within this feature is capped at 150.
Only Coin, Jackpot Coin, Dragon, and Collector symbols can land during the feature.
Each symbol position spins independently.
Collector symbols do not move during the feature and remain locked in their positions until it ends.
Each coin landing on reels 1 or 3 is collected individually by each collector symbol present on reel 2.
When a new collector symbol lands during the feature, it first collects all values already accumulated by other collector symbols present on the screen.
A maximum of 3 Collector symbols can appear during this feature.
The final feature ends when the respin counter reaches 0.
Dragon Symbol & Position Upgrades
During the Hold & Win feature, a special “Dragon” symbol may land on the outer reels (reels 1 and 3).
The “Dragon” symbol does not carry a cash value but upgrades the level of the position where it lands.
The “Dragon” symbol resets the respins counter to 3—just like the “Coin” and “Collector” symbols.
Position upgrade levels progress sequentially: Base → Bronze → Silver → Gold.
Each symbol position level is visually distinguished by a unique color and frame shape.
If a dragon lands on a fully upgraded (gold) position, it awards a payout of 50x to every “Collector” symbol on the game board.
Upon completion of the feature, all upgraded positions spin again, revealing coin values or jackpot coins corresponding to their level.
Each “Collector” symbol on the game board collects all revealed values individually.
Upon completion of the feature, the position levels of all symbols are reset to the base level.
