FluxPlays verdict
Our verdict
No, unless you are happy to wait a long time for Dragon Spins. That round is the whole case for the game: walking wild reels lock on the left and stack, so every line keeps getting stronger. Ours took 260 extra spins to land, then paid $113.40, more than our 100 logged spins returned between them. Outside it, a strict egg pattern, no buy and small line pays make for slow going.
Who it suits
Play this if…
- Bonus chasers with patience: Dragon Spins stacks locked wild reels toward a full wild screen
- Players who enjoy a base game with memory: a walking wild carries over from spin to spin
- Max-win hunters: every wild reel that locks lifts every line at once
Skip this if…
- Short-session players: most spins in our test paid nothing
- Bonus buyers: the free spins have to land on their own
- Anyone who wants a frequent feature: the eggs must hit reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin

Reel Keeper: Full Review
In Reel Keeper, a dragon flying over the reels can drop a whole-reel wild that walks one reel to the left on every spin until it falls off the grid. Red Tiger released this 10-line game in June 2020, and its free spins, Dragon Spins, make those wilds lock in place and stack toward a fully wild screen. It is for patient bonus chasers: the base game is slow, and the round that matters cannot be bought.

The intro screen: five Dragon Wild reels, the full screen that Dragon Spins builds toward. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
How Reel Keeper works
Ten fixed lines run across five reels and three rows, and every symbol pays from the leftmost reel. Four treasure symbols sit above five card ranks, and only the treasures pay for two on a line.
| Symbol | 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 on a line, at $1 |
|---|---|
| Dragon shield | $60 / $16 / $7.50 / $1 |
| Crown | $27 / $9 / $4 / $0.50 |
| Goblet | $19.50 / $6.50 / $3 / $0.50 |
| Horn | $16.50 / $5.50 / $2 / $0.50 |
| A | $9 / $3 / $1.20 |
| K | $7.50 / $2.50 / $1 |
| Q | $6 / $2 / $0.80 |
| J | $4.80 / $1.60 / $0.70 |
| 10 | $3.60 / $1.20 / $0.50 |
The symbol pages list no wild of their own. Substitution comes from the dragon, so a spin without it is a straight line spin.

How the Dragon Wilds move
The dragon above the reels may add a Dragon Wild, a super symbol one reel wide and three rows tall, which replaces every paying symbol on its reel. With each spin after that it may move one reel to the left, and it keeps substituting wherever it stands until it leaves the grid. So one wild can take part in several spins in a row, and a wild that arrives on the right edge has the longest walk ahead of it.
That makes the game remember things between spins. A walking wild on reel 1 or 2 is worth more than one on reel 5, because lines start on the left.
Dragon Spins: how they trigger
Dragon Eggs, the free-spins symbols, award 10 Dragon Spins when they land on reels 1, 3 and 5 at once. In the round the walking changes. A Dragon Wild that reaches the leftmost reel, or runs into a wild that is already locked, stops and locks there. Later wilds pile up behind it, and in the best case all five reels end up wild.
By the paytable at $1, two locked wild reels on the left turn a single dragon shield on reel 3 into three of a kind, worth $7.50 on every line through it. Each extra locked reel pushes those lines toward four and five of a kind. The round cannot be bought, so the only way in is the 1-3-5 egg pattern.
Our round, on 3 November, began with five blank spins. Two Dragon Wild reels arrived during it: one walked to reel 1 and locked there under a padlock, and the other was still walking when the round ended. With the locked reel and the walking one both on the board, the seventh spin paid $72.00, and the ten spins came to $113.40.

RTP, volatility and max win
The help page gives one RTP, 95.72%, and a top win of 6,073x the bet. It names no volatility label, and Red Tiger's page shows only a numeric index, so we go by review sites, which rate Reel Keeper High. Red Tiger also publishes an official hit frequency, which is in the table. By the rules the top end lives in Dragon Spins, where a stack of locked wild reels can turn every line into a premium line.

Played on Red Tiger's own demo launcher on 2 November 2026 (the redtiger.com fan-site frame failed that day), in unlabelled demo credits read as dollars, from a 1,000.00 balance, no sign-in. All 100 spins at 1.00 with Turbo on; every round reconciles with the game server, which closed at 934.40. The game has no buy and no paid option. One extra spin after the test (1.00 in, 13.50 back, balance 946.90 on screen) was played to see the walking Dragon Wild pay; it is not in the card's totals. Server game version 4.0.1. On 3 November we kept spinning at 1.00 until Dragon Spins triggered, in two fresh sessions from 1,000.00 (the first client froze after 47 spins, every one settled on the server). The round came on the 260th of those extra spins and paid 113.40. The 260 extra spins staked 260.00 and returned 296.60 between them; they are not in the card's totals.
The base game was slow: 14 spins paid in all, and none paid more than $7.40. Eggs landed on a quarter of the logged spins, but never on reels 1, 3 and 5 together, so Dragon Spins stayed away for the whole hundred.
The one Dragon Wild arrived on spin 97 and slid left on each of the next three spins. We played one extra spin after the log to see it land on reel 1, where it paid $13.50 across horn lines, more than any spin in the hundred. One session this size shows how the game moves, not what it pays over time.
On 3 November we went back and spun at the same stake until the eggs lined up. That took 260 more spins, outside the card. They staked $260.00 and returned $296.60, over a third of it from that one Dragon Spins round. The wait is the real cost of this game.

Is Reel Keeper worth playing?
For a patient bonus chaser set on Dragon Spins, it can be; for nearly everyone else, no. A screen that fills with locked wild reels is a strong idea, and the walking wild gives the base game a reason to watch the next spin. But the egg pattern is strict, nothing can be bought, and between dragons the lines pay small.
Pick Ouija if you like Red Tiger's 10-line games with locking wilds but want a bonus you can buy and a round that climbs through stages. Choose Reel Keeper for the walking wild in the base game and the chance of a whole screen of wild reels.
In the demo, watch any Dragon Wild through to the left edge: following one wild over several spins shows you what Dragon Spins does with many.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you trigger Dragon Spins in Reel Keeper?+
Land Dragon Eggs on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin for 10 free spins. In the round, Dragon Wilds lock when they reach the leftmost reel or a locked wild, and they can stack until all five reels are wild. Eggs landed on 25 of our 100 logged spins without forming it, and the round only came on the 260th spin after them.
How do the Dragon Wilds work in Reel Keeper?+
The dragon flying above the reels may add a wild one reel wide and three rows tall. It replaces every paying symbol on its reel and may move one reel left on each spin until it leaves the grid, so one wild can help several spins in a row.
What is the RTP of Reel Keeper?+
95.72%, according to the game's help page and Red Tiger's own page. Some listings give 93.78%, but the help page lists only one version, and its figure is the one we use.
What is the max win in Reel Keeper?+
6,073x the bet, the top multiplier on the help page and on Red Tiger's page. By the rules, the way there is Dragon Spins, where wild reels lock and stack from the left until, at best, all five are wild.
