FluxPlays verdict
Our verdict
Floating Dragon Hold and Spin is worth playing for one reason: it pairs fish-collect free spins with a second, bigger bonus, a middle-reel coin respin where diamonds pay hundreds or thousands of times the bet. The free spins are the familiar part, and the ladder still decides them. The drawback is access, since this demo sells neither round and the wild never lands outside free spins.
Who it suits
Play this if…
- Series fans of the fish collect: the wild, the fish values and the ladder work the way you know them
- Max-win hunters who spin rather than buy: a single diamond in the Hold & Spin can reach the cap
- Bonus chasers who like two ways in: scatters for free spins, middle-reel coins for the respins
Skip this if…
- Bonus buyers: neither round can be bought in this demo
- Short-session players: the wild never appears outside free spins, so base spins rely on lines
- You want the gentlest version of this format: Big Bass Bonanza runs the same collect at low volatility

Floating Dragon Hold and Spin: Full Review
The series formula behind Big Bass meets a second bonus in Floating Dragon Hold and Spin: a fisherwoman wild collects fish values in free spins, and three coins on the middle reel start a respin round where diamonds can land worth thousands of times the bet. Pragmatic Play released it under its Reel Kingdom label in April 2021. It suits high-volatility players who know the fish-collect round and want a bigger second chance beside it.

How Floating Dragon Hold and Spin works
Ten fixed lines pay from reel 1 on a 5x3 grid of kites and card royals. The fisherwoman wild lands only in free spins, so base spins pay through lines and the two bonus triggers.
| Symbol at a $1 bet | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Junk boat kite | $0.50 | $5.00 | $20.00 | $200.00 |
| Peacock kite | $3.00 | $15.00 | $100.00 | |
| Butterfly kite, mask kite | $2.00 | $10.00 | $50.00 | |
| Fish kites | $1.00 | $5.00 | $20.00 | |
| A, K, Q, J, 10 | $0.50 | $2.50 | $10.00 |
How the features connect:
- Gold coins land on the middle reel only, each with a value. Three of them start the Hold & Spin.
- In the Hold & Spin, diamonds can land on the other four reels with far larger values.
- Fish kites carry money values on every spin, paid only in free spins.
- Three or more dragon scatters start free spins, where each fisherwoman collects every fish value on screen, and every fourth one retriggers the round and multiplies the collections.
The free spins are the familiar half, while the Hold & Spin holds the biggest single symbol in the game. Neither can be bought in this demo.

How the Hold & Spin works
Three gold coins on the middle reel trigger it. The middle reel stays in place, the other reels fade, and the round starts with three respins. Any new money symbol resets the respins to three and adds the money values on screen to the round's total.
| Money symbol | Where it lands | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Gold coin | Middle reel only, base game and respins | 1x to 20x the bet |
| Diamond | Reels 1, 2, 4 and 5, Hold & Spin only | 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x or 4,993x the bet |
The diamonds are the reason to want this round. Even the smallest is worth more than any coin, and a single top diamond leaves the round only a few multiples short of the game's cap, which the coins can cover.
The round also has a floor. It guarantees at least 20x the bet, and if the respins run out short of that, three more are given.

Free spins: how they trigger
Three, four or five dragon scatters give 10, 15 or 20 free spins, which use special reels. Each fisherwoman wild collects the value of every fish on screen, and when a wild is showing, more fish can appear at random at the end of a spin.
Every fisherwoman also counts toward a ladder. The fourth adds 10 spins and doubles fish collections, the eighth adds 10 more at 3x, and the twelfth a final 10 at 10x, after which the round cannot retrigger.
The rules list the fish values as multiples of the total bet, from 0.2x up. At our stake the fish on screen showed $2 to $50, which matches the list multiplied by the 10 lines rather than read per total bet.

RTP, volatility and max win
The rules give a single RTP of 96.71%, and Pragmatic labels the game high volatility. The game caps every win at 5,000x the bet, and a free spins round that gets there ends immediately and forfeits its remaining spins.

Played on Pragmatic's public demo on 28 October 2026 with play money from a $100,000 balance. The demo opened at $2 and was lowered to $1 in the bet menu. This demo has no buy and no ante. Free spins came naturally on spins 69 ($10.00) and 71 ($67.50); the best line win was $15.00 on spin 33. Amounts come from the server log and reconcile to the screen, ending at $100,014.50.
Free spins came twice in three spins, on spins 69 and 71, both from the minimum three scatters, and both rounds stopped at exactly three fisherwomen, one short of the ladder's first step. That makes them a fair look at the round without any multiplier.
What separated them was where the fish sat when a wild landed. The first round paid nothing for nine spins, then one late catch of two fish. The second caught $27.50 on free spin 3 and $40.00 on free spin 6, and that pair made most of the session.
Three coins never shared the middle reel, so the Hold & Spin and its diamonds come from the rules alone. With two short rounds deciding the result, this session shows how the collect behaves, not what the game returns.
The last free spin of the round from spin 69: the fisherwoman collects two $5.00 fish, WIN $10.00. FluxPlays demo test, 28 October 2026.
Free spins from spin 71: the closing screen, $67.50, with three fisherwomen lit on the ladder. FluxPlays demo test, 28 October 2026.
Is Floating Dragon Hold and Spin worth playing?
No, unless you already like the fish-collect free spins and want more swing around them. The round works just as the format promises: wilds collect what is on screen, and the ladder decides whether a round stays small. The Hold & Spin adds a second, bigger shot, but with no buy you can only wait for three coins on one reel.
Big Bass Bonanza is the pick if you want the same collect round at low volatility with a 2,100x cap. Pick Floating Dragon Hold and Spin if you would accept longer dry runs for a 5,000x ceiling and diamonds worth thousands.
In the demo, watch the fish values as the reels stop. They show how much a wild could collect on that spin, and seeing a few dozen tells you more about the free spins than any single round.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you trigger the Hold & Spin in Floating Dragon Hold and Spin?+
Land three gold coins on the middle reel, the only reel where coins appear. The reel is held, the round gives three respins, and each new money symbol resets them. Diamonds worth hundreds or thousands of times the bet can land on the other reels. In our session three coins never lined up.
How do the free spins work in Floating Dragon Hold and Spin?+
Three, four or five dragon scatters give 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Each fisherwoman wild collects every fish value on screen, and every fourth wild adds 10 spins and multiplies collections, first doubling them and finally raising them tenfold. Both of our rounds ended with three wilds, one short of the first step.
Can you buy the bonus in Floating Dragon Hold and Spin?+
Not in the demo we played, which shows no buy option, and the rules have no buy section. Both the free spins and the Hold & Spin have to land on their own, so the base game is the only way in.
What is the max win in Floating Dragon Hold and Spin, and how is it reached?+
The cap is 5,000x the bet. The quickest route is the Hold & Spin, where a 4,993x diamond plus coins worth 7x between them reaches it. In free spins it takes big fish collected high on the ladder, and a round that reaches the cap ends at once.
