Since its original publication in 1974, the play-acting game Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) took the fantasy thirsty nerds (including hobbyists and fairyland addicts) by surprise, became instantly admired, and had quickly built a legendary status among the role-playing community.
It is widely speculated that the DnD RPG was influenced by Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series, but in turn, the tabletop game (note: this is a larger than a board game term) had a fundamental influence on many console and computer RPGs and in pop culture in general.
There have been multiple creations, such as the Final Fantasy games and movies and the successful TV trilogy DnD (by the way – the 4th movie – the 2023 reboot by Paramount Pictures is in the making), enough for us to say that DnD is a form of enterprise in its own right, and extends to various entertainment structures in the modern world.
And fortunately for the PearFiction software Studio, there are many casino slots involving fabulous winged creatures (we have nearly 50 games with dragons in their name and 450 with dragons, like characters in our records), but only 3 other video slots that directly refer to the DnD RPG (2 of which – by IGT company from 2009 and 2014 – no longer supported), so actually the new slot on Microgaming’s Quickfire platform has only 1 opponent in the category – a slot by NolimitCity from 2018.
Dungeons and Diamonds slot will carry you over to a fantasy realm where a dormant dragon lies possessively controlling the treasures under its grasp. He is frequently waking up by some heavy wins that shake the grid. Escaping in this make-believe world, you will cross 40 winning paths, with a wicked Wizard consumed by the plague of evil, (represented in the Wicked Wizard Bonus/Jackpot Mini-game), revelling in looting all diamonds and spreading despair.
You will also meet an order of 3 warriors, who with their powerful amulets (represented in the slot by the 3 Modifiers) are ready to fight the dragon in his liar, outsmart the wizard, reclaim the riches and breathe new life into this world.
The Montreal (Quebec, Canada) based developer conveys this great story, focusing on bundles of diamonds with instant prizes. They can be collected by the warriors in the Regular Collect, Multiplier Collect and Re-spin Collect modes.
These powerful capacities are boosting the balance regularly in the base game and more prominently in the Bonus round. And the 4-in game Jackpots are obtainable throughout the game.
Technically, this is a High Volatility slot, which depends not only on its features but also on the paytable, and can yield wins up to 5626x the total bet at any point in the game cycle. Hit rate above 28% (i.e. acceptable) and a combined default return index of 96.03% (separated as: 28.33% for the base spins and 67.70% for the FS) are the other distinct metrics important for any advanced player.
PearFiction Studio’s commitment to storytelling, world-building, and quality video and audio presentation is already familiar to us from their previous releases, 2 of which our test team enjoys and often plays at Microgaming casinos:
- 15 Tridents slot (2022) – 2048 winways – High Volatility – 96.12% RTP, and
- Squealin Riches slot (2021) – 1024 winways – High Volatility – 96.02% RTP.
Like these games, Dungeons and Diamonds imparts a flair of magnificence that can amaze even the most critical players. Extraordinary graphics and animations plus a symphony orchestra will be guiding you on your adventure if you choose to play here.
And despite some reviews on other casino sites, which don’t give the well-deserved respect to this excellent slot, we highly recommend it to all players who favour intense variance and fantasy thrills. Because for us, this Dungeons and Diamonds slot adventure was impressive (close to brilliant) and a non-stop action rollercoaster.
As usual, we advise you to get acquainted with the rules in the DEMO variant, and if you decide to play with real credits to stay on the low and medium stakes (up to 5 CAD), and be prepared with sufficient capital for a medium or long session.
Get deep into the grim dungeons, where only gold and diamonds sparkle and wait to be reclaimed from the hands of the corrupt wiz and the guardian dragon.

Bonus Features of Dungeons and Diamonds slot
- Wilds – The golden Wild plate is a special symbol, with no value for itself, but will replace the 8 regular icons (i.e. no Diamonds and Scatters) when building or improving paying combinations.
- Gem icons – The handful of green gems is also a special symbol that can land on reels 1/2/3/4. Each handful has its cash value (up to 25x the bet), and in case it drops together with any of the 3 Modifiers (explained below) will participate in a pick-up Collection.
- Modifiers – All Modifiers appear during both: base and Bonus spins. The Modifying tokens fall only on reel 5 and concern only the Gem icons.
- Regular Collect – The Red Sorcerers landing together with Gem icons will assemble all their cash prizes.
- Multiplied Collect – The Blue Arrow Ranger grants Multiplier between x2 and x5 on all Gem icons currently in view.
- Re-spin Collect – The Viking Warrior bestows with a Re-spin after the initial Gem icons have been locked in place. During the Re-spin more Gem icons will drop (in a Hold&Win action way), and all prizes will be summed at the end of the Re-spin.
- Wicked Wizard Bonus – Landing any of the above-mentioned 3 Modifiers on reel 5, plus a Gold Jackpot token on any of the first 4 reels, will secure the Wicked Wizard Mini-game. You get 20 bags full of gems, and during the round, you will click until matching 3 bags with the same colour of gems, i.e. triggering this Bonus guarantees 1 of the below Jackpot prizes:
- Blue gems – Mini Jackpot – worth 50x the bet
- Green gems – Minor Jackpot – worth 100x the bet
- Red gems – Major Jackpot – worth 500x the bet
- Purple gems – Grand Jackpot – worth 5000x the bet
- Scatters & Free Spins – The dragon’s eye is the Scatter. It can land only on reels 1/3/5. Getting 3 Scatters during 1 spin will activate the Bonus round, containing 8 FS. The chance of getting Jackpot tokens and Multipliers here is greater, and there is always a chance of obtaining a re-trigger.
