About Genghis Khan
Dragon Link: Genghis Khan runs on Aristocrat's Hold and Win engine, with 50 fixed paylines, 96% RTP and High volatility. The reels carry a Mongol warrior theme: a red dragon wild, a warlord's steppe backdrop and coin-based scatter symbols. Together these tie the game to Genghis Khan's nomadic empire.
The Genghis Khan pokie belongs to Aristocrat's wider Dragon Link series, sharing the same core engine used across the lineup. It keeps its own khan and dragon symbol set apart from other titles in the series. Its three defining mechanics are the Dragon Link Hold & Win feature with four jackpot tiers and the Golden Orb reel-transform wild. A third mechanic, Free Spins with multipliers between 2x and 25x, rounds out the set. There is no bonus-buy option on this title.
Pokie Theme & Visuals
The symbol set leans on Mongol warrior and East Asian iconography rather than a purely Western fruit-machine look. A red dragon head fills the wild slot, gold orbs mark the Hold & Win positions, and a gold ingot works as the scatter.
Mid-tier symbols include a tiger, a koi fish, a monkey and a rooster, each carrying its own steppe or East Asian association.
Dragon Link Feature
Landing 6 or more orb symbols (Blue Orb or Golden Orb) anywhere on the grid triggers the Respin Feature. The khan's grid fills with orbs as the feature awards 3 respins to start. Every new Blue Orb that lands during those respins resets the counter back to 3.
The feature ends once the respin counter runs out or every position on the grid holds an orb. At that point, every prize sitting on a Blue Orb or Golden Orb position is added up and paid as a single total. A completely filled grid pays the GRAND jackpot outright.
All four jackpot tiers are fixed to a 50-credit reference bet. The actual credit total paid out scales with the bet size selected before the respin round starts.
| Jackpot Tier | Award (credits, at 50-credit reference bet) |
|---|---|
| GRAND | 200,000 |
| MAJOR | 12,500 |
| MINOR | 2,500 |
| MINI | 500 |
Golden Orb Feature
The Golden Orb symbol substitutes for every regular symbol except the Golden Ingot scatter, functioning as the game's standard wild. On a random base-game spin the dragon rewrites the reel: the entire middle reel can transform into Golden Orb symbols in one go.
When that transform happens, each Golden Orb on the reel counts as a wild for line wins. It also counts as a Blue Orb toward the Dragon Link Feature trigger at the same time. Filling a whole reel this way adds up to 4 orbs toward the 6-orb threshold at once.
Free Spins Feature
Free Spins trigger with 3, 4 or 5 Golden Ingot scatters landing on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. Every spin during the round applies a random multiplier drawn from 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x or 25x. This value is decided fresh on each individual spin rather than fixed by the scatter count that triggered the round. The bet size carried into Free Spins matches whatever stake triggered them, and landing 3-5 more scatters during the round retriggers additional spins.
8 Free Spins
Three scatters award the entry-level round of 8 free spins. The same 2x–25x multiplier pool applies to every spin, so even the shortest round can land a high multiplier on its first spin.
15 Free Spins
A fourth scatter on adjacent reels raises the round to 15 free spins. The multiplier mechanics stay identical to the 8-spin round. The only difference is spin count and the lower probability of landing that fourth scatter in the trigger position.
25 Free Spins
Five scatters landing consecutively from the leftmost reel award the top tier of 25 free spins, the rarest trigger in the game. That spin count gives the most attempts at the 25x ceiling multiplier.
Payout Table
Every payout figure in this table is quoted at the 50-credit reference bet. The bet-multiple equivalent appears alongside each figure for quick comparison across stake sizes.
| Symbol | 5x | 4x | 3x | 2x |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
300 credits (6x bet) | 100 credits (2x bet) | 20 credits (0.4x bet) | 5 credits (0.1x bet) |
 |
5000 credits (100x bet) | 500 credits (10x bet) | 50 credits (1x bet) | N/A |
 |
100 credits (2x bet) | 50 credits (1x bet) | 10 credits (0.2x bet) | N/A |
|
75 credits (1.5x bet) | 20 credits (0.4x bet) | 5 credits (0.1x bet) | N/A |
|
50 credits (1x bet) | 10 credits (0.2x bet) | 5 credits (0.1x bet) | N/A |
Line wins pay left to right starting from the leftmost reel, and each active payline pays only its highest matching combination. Wins across multiple lines are added together and multiplied by the bet size, except for jackpot awards from the Dragon Link Feature.
RTP and Volatility
Genghis Khan runs at 96% RTP with High volatility. Wins land less often than on a low-volatility pokie. The largest payouts concentrate in two places: a full grid of orbs during the Dragon Link Feature and the 20x-25x multiplier tier during Free Spins.
Given that swing, smaller stakes relative to bankroll suit this title better than flat max-bet play. This applies especially near the lower end of the $0.50 – $50.00 bet range.

Genghis Khan on Mobile
Genghis Khan loads through the mobile browser on both iOS and Android without a dedicated app. These are the minimum requirements for smooth play on a phone or tablet.
| Platform | Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|
| iOS | iOS 14+ with Safari 14+ |
| Android | Android 8+ with Chrome 90+ |
To start a session, open the mobile casino site and search or tap through to Genghis Khan in the Aristocrat section. Then tap Play to load the reels. Aussie players search for Genghis Khan pokeis on mobile about as often as on desktop. Most casino apps surface the title near the top of pokies search listings because of this.
Two behaviors are worth knowing on mobile. iOS restricts autoplay by default, so the game may require a manual tap to start each spin cycle even if autoplay was set earlier. Rotating the phone from portrait to landscape reloads the game layout. This can briefly interrupt an active Free Spins round if it happens mid-feature.
Why Genghis Khan Still Draws Players
Genghis Khan remains a fixture in Aussie clubs and online casino lobbies within the Dragon Link lineup. The reasons come down to mechanics and big potential wins. Four separate jackpot tiers inside the Dragon Link Feature give players a real shot at MINI or MINOR awards even without hitting GRAND.
The random Golden Orb reel-transform adds a second path toward the respin feature that does not depend on scatter luck. The 2x-25x Free Spins multiplier range keeps every scatter trigger worth chasing regardless of tier.

FAQ
Landing 6+ orb symbols starts the feature with 3 respins. Every new Blue Orb that lands during a respin resets the counter back to 3 instead of adding extra spins on top.
A fully filled grid ends the feature immediately and pays the GRAND jackpot, worth 200,000 credits at the 50-credit reference bet.
A standard Dragon wild fills one symbol position. The Golden Orb Feature randomly transforms the entire middle reel into Golden Orb symbols instead. Those symbols act as both wilds and Blue Orbs toward the respin trigger at once.
Each spin in the round draws a random multiplier from 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x or 25x. The value is not tied to how many scatters triggered the round, so any spin can land the top multiplier.
Five Golden Ingot scatters landing consecutively from the leftmost reel award 25 free spins. Landing 3-5 more scatters during the round retriggers additional spins on top of the current count.
Stakes run from $0.50 to $50.00 per spin. Dragon Link jackpot values are fixed to a 50-credit reference bet. The actual credits awarded scale up or down with the stake in play when the feature triggers.
