2. Core Gameplay Mechanics (Detailed Version)

### 2.1 Basic Reel Rules

- Reel Configuration: Usually 3 reels × 3 rows (slight variations in some versions).

- Paylines: Mostly 25 (fixed). Matching the same symbol from left to right scores points.

- Bet Options: Different denominations can be selected (e.g., $0.01, $0.02, $0.05, $0.10, $0.25, $1). Total bet per spin = denomination × number of paylines × bet amount per line.

### 2.2 Hold & Spin Bonus Gameplay

This is Dragon Link's most representative core mechanism.

#### Trigger Conditions

- When 6 or more Orb symbols appear in any position, a Hold & Spin bonus round begins.

#### Bonus Rules

1. Initial Spins: 3 spins.

2. Lock & Reset:

- When a new coin symbol appears, it is locked onto the reel.

- Each time a new coin appears, the remaining spins are reset back to 3.

3. Coin Value:

- Each coin symbol displays a fixed amount (calculated based on the current bet).

- Some coins will display the words Mini or Minor, directly representing a fixed small prize or winning amount.

4. Grand Prize Condition:

- If all 15 squares on the screen are filled with coins, you will directly receive the Grand Jackpot (accumulated jackpot).

5. End of Round:

- The total value of all coins is calculated, plus any possible Mini/Minor/Grand prize amounts, and awarded together.

### 2.3 Free Spins Mode

- Trigger Condition: 3 Scatter symbols appear in any position.

- Reward Content:

- Receive a fixed number of free spins (usually...) (6-10 times).

- Free games often include Multipliers or Special Wild Extensions.

- Some versions allow Hold & Spin to be triggered again within free games, creating a "double reward".

---

### 2.4 Progressive Jackpot

- Mini: Fixed small prize (varies with bets).

- Minor: Fixed medium prize (varies with bets).

- Major: Medium to high prize pool; some versions can randomly trigger.

- Grand: The highest jackpot, usually requiring 15 coins.

- Jackpot Growth: A portion of the bets from all online machines enters the prize pool until it is hit by a player.

### 2.5 Special Symbol Explanation

- Wild: Can replace any symbol except Scatter and Coin.

- Scatter: Triggers a free game.

- Orb (Golden Ball): Triggers Hold & Spin.
