The Dancing Drums slot machine is an entertaining slot that can be played at the live casino and online in regulated states. This popular game features a variety of Asian themed symbols. They include golden statues of mythical dragons, gold coins linked with red ribbons, sailing boats – and of course, the drums. The game plays with the ‘free ways’ system, offering many more winning opportunities than usual. In addition, there are free spins to be won and chosen and four progressive jackpots.
In live casinos, you will now find a bigger-screened version of this game compared to the original. This takes full advantage of the latest breakthroughs in graphic design and screen technology to bring the drums to life. The progressive jackpots which are a hallmark of this game are on display above the reels.
Basics: How does Dancing Drums Slot Work?
The base game of this Bally slot features a setup of five reels, with three symbols showing on each. It uses the ‘Reel Ways’ system, offering 243 ways to win on every spin. To land a win, you will need to land matching symbols on 3 or more consecutive reels from left to right, irrespective of the position on those reels. The cost of each spin is 88 credits, though you can add multipliers to this for bigger bets.
With so many winning chances on each spin, the individual prizes are lower than you would find on a slot with a smaller number of win-lines. Although it is not unusual to land many wins during a single spin using this format.
High Paying Drum Symbols
Bonus symbols show drums. These pay 100x your total bet for five. You need three from the left to trigger the free spins bonus – with wilds substituting. Other higher paying symbols include a plant, fierce looking dragon, coins and a traditional sailing boat.
Alongside the themed symbols you will also find the playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A which offer top prizes of between 15 and 20 coins.
The wild symbol, which features a splash of red and gold, appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. This will substitute for all other symbols ensuring many more winning opportunities. With the ‘Reel Ways’ system in play, just a single wild can trigger a series of wins.
Hitting the Free Spins Bonus Feature on Dancing Drums Slots
As well as being the highest paying symbol in the game, the Dancing Drums also activate the free spins feature. When you hit three, four and five drums and land that big win, you will also enter this feature.
The free spins bonus round now offers you five options as to how to play:
- Option 1: 15 free spins with a grid size of 3×5.
- Option 2: 10 free spins with a grid size of 4×5.
- Option 3: 5 free spins with a grid size of 5×5.
- Option 4: 3 free spins with a grid size of 6×5.
- Option 5: A mystery prize – one of the four options above picked at random.

This choice can be tricky. Option 1 plays out on the standard reels and offers the same 243 ways to win. However, options two, three and four now offer 1,024, 3,125 and 7,776 ways to win respectively. While the number of spins decrease, the winning opportunities at each go in the other direction. If you are having trouble making a choice, option five selects this at random – taking the choice out of your hands.

The chance to land one of the four progressive jackpots can be awarded randomly any time a single wild appears on the reels. You will now be taken to a screen showing a series of gold coins. Pick each in turn and it will spin to reveal one of a series of Fu babies. Keep picking until you reveal three of the same Fu Babies, and you will win the associated Jackpot. The four jackpot pays are Mini, Minor, Major and Grand.

Play to the Beat – Dancing Drums Design
The Dancing Drums plays against the backdrop of a distinctive dark red, lending the game an atmospheric feel. The reels themselves contain a lot of gold, adding a rich feel to the proceedings, with each of the symbols is intricately designed.
When you trigger the free spins, giant animated drums appear over the reels. Throughout the game you will hear an Asian soundtrack, complete with stringed instruments and gongs. Many of the graphics and effects (including the Fu Babies) will remind you of the classic ’88 Fortunes’ slots.
