The game offers a 7x7 grid and uses the Cluster Pays mechanic, where wins are formed by creating clusters of 5 or more matching symbols connected vertically or horizontally. After each win, the cascade feature is triggered: winning symbols are removed, and new ones fall from above, providing additional chances to win.

The Dragon acts as a wild symbol with a multiplier of x1 to x10, substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations.
