Dragonz Slot

It is a little bit different with this slot, though. Here the legendary Dragonz are super cuties, frisky and adorable wild things, who, besides breathing fire and creating lightning strikes electrifying the reels, can spread, spit, stick, and freeze. Wilds is not dangerous but highly beneficial for the players.

Other technical aspects of the game are the 5×3 playing field, high RTP (96.3%), long cycle, and high variance. Features are randomly awarded till players’ choice is unlocked on the 12th trigger.

Personal testers’ opinion about Dragonz slot

• Playing Dragonz slot machine, you get so many times 5OAK combinations that you start thinking the luck is actually on your side. That is until you check the exact status of your balance. Then you see, it is going down despite the regular wins and the help of the Wild Deal function.
• This ‘Deal’ play is great, by the way – securing some nice wins when the round is not delivering payout, but a Wild symbol has landed on reel 3. You soon begin to realize the overall decreasing balance is a result of the ‘cheap’ paytable. The top value symbol – the Scatter is paying well – 100x total bets for 5OAK, but every other symbol is on the crappy side – from 15x for the Wilds to 12,5x, 6.25x, 3x, and 1.5x for 5OAK of different symbols. This is weak and disappointing.
• During our tests via the Free Spins, we obtained once 758x bets, but our average payout from the bonus rounds was just around 40x the bet. Plus, the waiting for the bonus game was sometimes lengthy. Statistically, after every 161st spin (0.62%) is expected initiation of the Free Spins, but in reality, often you have to hold up much longer (180-220 spins). The game is built by saving aside 28% of the bets for the payouts in the Free Spins, and the rest 62% of the prize pool goes to the base spins.
• The frequency of getting any hit (winning) is 37%, i.e. 37 out of 100 spins will bring payout. Regarding bonus money, the game is not suitable for bonus hunters, as it doesn’t preserve the balance well, which was also indicated by our wagering meter – recording only 3.15 points (out of 10) as an index for the Dragonz slot machine.

Review and recommendations by the testing team

• This is one exciting slot with high-quality graphics and a new-age soundscape. It stands out from the bulk of other slots about dragons (created by different providers) with the childish appearance of the 4 baby dragons, presented rather humorous than sinister and menacing.
• The game was top-rated right after being released; now, years later, it has lost its high stardom but is still desired at some casino lobbies. This is mostly because of the maximum win prospect of 107 500, or over 3500x the total bet amount (via max bet).
• Due to its High Volatility and long cycle, the slot is highly unpredictable and risky. Despite the regular 5OAK payouts and the Wild Deal action in the main game, Dragonz is bad at keeping the balance. This makes it not suitable for games with bonus money and for fulfilling wagering requirements.
• The bonus rounds rarely happen here, and in most scenarios, they result in small winnings of 30x – 100x the bet. After launching the Free Spins 12 times, you will have the option to choose one of the dragons’ functions. According to our statistical reports, the best Free Spins awards could be obtained via the Fire Dragon, although other dragons also give good payouts.
• We found out that the slot performs better with average and high bets than minimum bets during our tests.
• Also, we established that if you keep the bet at the same rate, you are likely to receive a second Free Spins round within a short interval (20-50 spins). Therefore we advise you to choose wisely your initial stake and stay on it through the entire session. If the bonus game didn’t reoccur as we explained, that means the game cycle has been broken, so you better depart from this session and return to the slot later (or another day).

How to win at the Dragonz slot machine? (Conclusion)

• Our first recommendation is to be cautious with your capital and test the game in DEMO mode upfront.
• The game is not suitable for completing the wagering requirements, so our advice is negative to try a play with bonus money on the Dragonz slot machine.
• You can try this slot for playing with real money, but first test the mood with 50-100 spins with average or high bet (without adjusting, just on a flat stake) and then decide to try your luck some more (or not), depending on the results.
• Please consider concluding your session on the following 3 occasions:

1. If you manage to increase your balance by 50% or more, it is wise to terminate your session and move to the next slot.
2. The same advice we have – quit your game at the Dragonz slot machine if you receive a series of 2 -3 Free Spins rounds with a short interval of spins in between.
3. If your starting capital is reduced by 30%, you should cut your losses and put an end to your game at this Microgaming slot. By prolonging your session, you risk losing even more and not having time to win back the consumed amount.

It is recommended to prepare a bankroll for 400 – 500 spins and to pick 1/500 of your balance as the bet per single spin when you play at this or any other High Volatility slot. This way, you can last longer during the chain with blank spins.
