Circular Arrow lists a 96.00% RTP and high volatility, and the top prize of the Epic Strike Tower is 3,000x the bet. The game went on wide release on 22 May 2025. The demo on this page uses virtual credits, so you can see how the tower and the expanding reels work before deciding whether to play for real money.

• Dragon Drum Bonus: 3 free spin symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 start the round with 3 spins on level 1 of 8. Collected drums move you up the tower, and each new level resets the spins to 3 and adds a row. When the round ends, you get the cash prize of the highest level reached, from 5x at level 2 to 1,000x at level 8, and 70 collects on level 8 pay 3,000x. An Extra Spin symbol on reel 5 adds 1 spin.
• Bonus Buy: the Dragon Drum Bonus can be bought with a x1 or a x10 win multiplier.

12 Fortune Dragons suits players who like collection bonuses with a clear ladder of prizes. Circular Arrow's site lists only three other games, all from its American Gold series, so this is the studio's feature-heavy option, with a growing grid, a base-game multiplier and a Bonus Buy. With high volatility the big tower prizes are rare, so try the demo first and set a budget before playing for real money.
