We’ll be honest, when we first heard of a series of slots based on old Jackie Chan movies, we were skeptical. We have nothing against Chinese cinema, but the themes they cover usually aren’t our thing. Despite this, we found ourselves won over by RTG’s recreation of Fire Dragon! The key factors to that were the graphics! Fire Dragon is a 5-reel progressive bonus video slot with special features. At the top left of the slot you will see the word JACKPOT and beneath it will be the current jackpot for the game. You will also see a fisted Jackie Chan image. Fire Dragon is one of Jackie Chan’s classic but forgotten films. It is not quite as famous or well-known as something like Drunken Master, or as American as something like Rumble in the Bronx, but it is considered to be one of his finest, which will become perfectly clear once you start playing this game.

From drunken masters to rumbles in the Bronx, Jackie Chan’s career is full of goofs and kicks. He is one of the well-known martial artists in the world who is recognizable for his acrobatic fighting style. He is famous in both the Eastern and Western hemispheres and has received stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars. Also, his character is an inspiration in the whole industry of entertainment, and gaming providers didn’t resist his popularity, too. RTG made several Jackie Chan themed pokies.

Eagle Shadow Fist

This pokie is based on the movie “Snake in the Eagle Shadow” and was one of the first appearances of Jackie Chan on reels. “Eagle Shadow Fist” slot game has 5 reels, 25 paylines, which give you more chances to win on every turn.

All symbols except for the scatter pay from left to right on the win line. The scatter symbol pays regardless of position.

A Punching Wild doubles your prizes and the Free Games multiplier can quadruple your free spins winnings.

Fantasy Mission Force

When you play a war mission, such as “Fantasy Mission Force”, you should have a good strategy. Wins are formed right to left, beginning from the leftmost reel, and three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts. Since this is a top-secret mission, some of the information keep close to the chest.

Trigger Kaboom! feature and the Dynamite Free Games feature to be rewarded with plenty of free games packed with multipliers.

Fire Dragon

This pokie is the latest RTG release featuring martial artist Jackie Chan. To create this slot RTG has picked the movie of the same name, an action adventure presenting the story about a team sent to retrieve a secret file form the enemy’s base at the island of the Woman Warriors.

On 5 reels and 20 variable paylines all symbols pay left to right. One special feature might be interesting to players and increase their chances to win. When 3 or more Ninja Masks as scatter symbols appear, ninjas will climb down ropes, and throw their flash bombs to vanish but not without awarding you 10 Amazon Free Games, which can be re-triggered.

Oh, and don’t forget the jackpot will be randomly hit any moment.

Real Time Gaming is a lot of things. Modern, high paying, meticulously developing, and things of that nature for sure. With this game, however, we can add in ‘possessing impeccable taste’ to the mix! Jackie Chan’s hit film that has for the most part been relegated to relative obscurity has been brought back for a contemporary take on the action slot genre. Featuring the usual number of reals and 20 pay lines in total, this game can award up to 50k times any bet you make per line, which as you might expect, adds up quick! This is thanks to the ninja masks that can be gathered, as well as careful playing of course! That spices up an otherwise still lovely game to make for something we feel is a special and unique standout in the genre that no one will want to miss for a second. If you are a Jackie Chan fan, then of course you’ll love this one. If you’re simply interested in slots, however, there’s still a lot to like, and plenty to enjoy here. We had a massively good time with this one, which the jackpot only adds to as a cherry on top of a wonderful cake. That one in particular comes in at $5k a win, and resets afterwards while being awarded at complete random. For anyone unfamiliar with the movie, but is still open to giving Chan the good old college try, this one is sure to please and fill your wallet if you’re at all inclined to winning money and playing slots online!

What You Can Expect

This game is relatively standard in many ways, which we feel only adds to the immersion. The number of reels is the new Real Time Gaming standard of 5, and the pay lines only top out at 20. You can still win all manner of coins from this, up to 50x your bet per line as we mentioned, but there’s nothing particularly new here. There’s also the usual jackpot that you’ve come to love and expect, which we don’t say as a putdown! Just to point out that as far as the gameplay in this one goes, you’re not going to see much here that you haven’t seen before, and it’s all wonderfully accessible for that reason. Aside from the gameplay, however, the theme stands tall and strong, one of which can be said of Chan himself. Based on a film that didn’t break the box office in American but did become a cult classic in the internet age, Fire Dragon is the usual mix that you’ll find in a Jackie Chan movie that we’ve all come to love over the years. His image of course is the main draw, and one of the best things you can match, but the whole thing brings in elements of military machinery and ninjas in a way we’re surprised you don’t see more often. Everything looks stellar and perfectly illustrated from the films as well, not being photos, but wonderfully done paintings that Chan himself would be proud to see. Overall you’ll see a lot here that you’ve seen before, but it’s all done with a big smile by Jackie Chan over the top of it, which could make things a lot worse!

What They Could Have Improved

There’s a lot here we loved, but still plenty of things that could have been done to please fans of slots the world over, whether or not you’re here for the main man Chan himself. A larger jackpot would have been nice, for example, as would things like bonus rounds that had a bit of the film flare to them to keep them interesting. There’s also not many pay lines or mechanics there that are going to wow you, and you’ll still be having a great time without as many free spins as you’ll see elsewhere, but we’d loved to have seen those make an appearance too. Most of our criticisms lie in the gameplay for that reason. We had a wonderful time with the art and theme, but the gameplay still lends itself to the more mundane fair of the slot world, and isn’t going to stand out in any way.

General Style and Presentation

Most games based on a film take the cheaper route of pulling images and promotional materials from the film, and littering the game with that. This game pulls no punches, however, much like Chan himself! Everything is a hand painted version of what you’ll see in the film, having a more cartoon oriented style within that photo realism. It all looks wonderful, and we wish more companies would take this route when putting together their games. It all feels fresh, expressive, and inviting, and has about as much energy as Chan when you see him pop up on the silver screen. The colors are also very jungle looking and have a light touch to them, giving it all an aura of the fantastic that we enjoy. This is easily the main point of and the chief strength of the game, upon which no expense was spared, and for which we have not one criticism, other than wanting more of the title illustrations instead of suits of cards which feel out of place around the rest of what you see here.

Fire Dragon Jackie Chan

Summing Up the Game

Fire Dragon Jackie Chan

Fire Dragon Slots is not based on Chan’s more well known films, which is probably why they got the license. It’s still a cult classic that’s been turned into a compelling game, however, paying out with the best of them, and disappointing in almost no ways. If you can get over the standard gameplay, this one is sure to leave a smile on your face and a bump in your wallet, one of which tends to happen any time we pop in a Chan film to enjoy. Highly recommended for players of all kinds.
