B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has leveraged its past successes to drive the creation of its latest feature-rich cluster pays slot, Dragon Hopper.

Boldly combining the best elements of the hit game Fire Hopper, with a sprinkling of flavour from some of its other fan favourite slots such as Retro Tapes, Dragon Hopper provides an exhilarating journey through a far-eastern lantern festival.

Highlighting the studio’s ability to evolve the elements of its existing popular games to refine player engagement, Dragon Hopper incorporates dynamic mechanics such as the Dragon Feature and Mystic Flare Feature, designed to make each spin unpredictable and captivating.

Other new gameplay elements in this latest release include the Bubble Feature, which significantly boosts winning possibilities.

Alongside the studio’s proprietary Push Bet™, which empowers players to enjoy the slot in a variety of ways, increasing retention. The slot is also home to the Cluster Link™ mechanic, which offers players a dynamic way to combine paying symbols into wins.

Dragon Hopper is the latest title in Push Gaming’s elevated 2025 roadmap. It heralds an eclectic Q1 of releases that operators and players can look forward to, including Mad Blast and Power Vault.

Monika Lukowska, Game Producer at Push Gaming, said: “Dragon Hopper takes us on a journey through the mystical orient and treats players to a combination of well-known and unique features.

“Big win potential is ever present via the Dragon Symbol, which allows for the multiplication of wins in the base game, along with features like the Mystic Flare, which can appear on the reels unexpectedly.

“We’ve taken the best of a host of previous games and used that winning formula to create Dragon Hopper, and we’re delighted to present another hit title.”
