A Dragon's Story Slot

Some players have expressed their enjoyment and likeness for this game from NextGen, A Dragon's Story. I myself have never played it before, and I've been wondering if the game can be as good as others are saying about it. An opportunity came when I recently registered at a casino having this game, and with the bonus money in hand, I decided to give A Dragon's Story a first play. Hmm, my instincts said 'don't play it', but my curiosity said 'you wouldn't know for sure until you've tried playing it', and so it was that I ended up following that curiosity voice in my head. Well, it turned out to be a big mistake!

NextGen is not one of my favourite software provider, and just like Microgaming too, NextGen games hardly ever give me any wins at all so far! In this game, the Dragon is the Wild symbol, paying 2000x the line bet for 5 of them, and substitutes for other symbols except the Scatter symbol. It is nonetheless a dumb Wild symbol for not doubling any wins with it and for not becoming stacked or expanded. The Purple Jewel is the Scatter symbol, paying 2500x the line bet for 5 of them, or 100x the total bet amount, and getting 3 or more of these Scatter symbols trigger 10 free spins with all wins doubled, but more free spins can be retriggered. Sheesh! 10 free spins with a 2x multiplier is way below the norm. This should have been 20 free spins instead. The symbols in the game are just as badly valued, paying from a low 1000x down to 100x the line bet for 5 of each kind. A low paytable.

In order to win bigger amounts, a player is recommended to activate the 'Superbet' feature, thereby increasing the number of random Wilds coming onto the reels, for more winning chances, or so it says. This Superbet feature can work nicely for some players, but it can also be disastrous for most others, as it is for me too. There are 2 stages of the feature, either choosing the 3-reels option, or going for the best 5-reels option, thereby doubling the initial bet size per spin. The feature promises more random Wilds during the free spins, but from what I had gotten during my free spins, none of those Little Dragons additional Wilds gave any decent wins at all! Most of the time, it was only 1 or 2 Wilds being thrown onto the 5-reels option that I had chosen, and that was my biggest mistake! Playing at twice the initial cost per spin, yet not getting anything worthwhile from it all.

My first ever play on this A Dragon's Story was a big disappointment! Using the Superbet's 5-reels option drained by credits twice as fast, the Little Dragons didn't provide any sufficient additional Wilds to give more and better wins, the randomly activated 'Brave Sir William Bonus' feature didn't give any good wins, only 1x and 7x my bet amount, and the Free Spins games with that blardy Superbet feature paid only 30x and 35x my bet amount, when was actually paying twice as much for each spin! My 80 EUR starting bankroll went down the drain in less than 45 minutes! What the argh!

Dragon story is another great release from NextGen. In the knight vs dragon tales, we normally vouch and think of victory for the night, but when playing this slot you would not want the dragon to be killed, in fact you would favour and love the dragon more, trust me.

This dragon and has a lot of gold and rewards you with it if you help him from losing it. This game has a lot of features namely - wild dragons, scattered jewels, A free game feature, brave Sir Williams feature, and a gamble feature.

The wild dragons are activated randomly while you spin the reels. If you played Foxin Wins or Judge Dredd before then you will find this feature familiar and interesting as you know you can get a lot of wilds on the screen by placing an extra super bet. When the feature activates, the dragon spits on the reels landing a wild dragon to create bigger wins.

3 scattered jewels trigger the free spins feature and I think 10 spins are awarded with small scatter pay. During free spins you would definitely want that super bet to be active as the wilds will pop up from anywhere from the first free spin. The free spins feature always pays out well.

The Brave Sir Williams feature is when the knight tries to steal gold and a fireball is sent his way. Similar like Foxin shake the leprechaun upside down and this feature can be activated manually after any spin.

Last but not least the gamble feature, which some people like, I do not use it at all, so not much to say about it, but it's exactly that, a gamble feature. You win or you lose.

I won big a couple of times and always walked away with a profit in this game and I love these games with super bet, because you eventually make all your cash back. Please do try this game as you can walk away a winner. These are also your games for wagering purposes.

In my opinion "NextGen" has done an impeccable job with this slot called "A Dragon's Story", visually it’s totally attractive, its characters reflect character and animations are professional like a film, competition in the gaming industry software is hard but NextGen seems to go for the leadership, with slots like this one this company demonstrates not only it has the technical ability but also an enormous creativity reflected both in themes of its new slots and gaming system thereof; this slot in particular has been equipped with special features that show the characters in the middle of some funny situations but additionally they have enormous potential to generate profits.

In addition, instinct and skills of the player are more likely to be rewarded since there are additional decisions that you should take if you want to increase your profits, hence in this game you can not only to choose your level bet but you can also choose whether to use or not the "Super bet" feature which activates 2 or 4 little dragons located below each reel to spit fire on them occasionally and add a wild symbol on their respective reel.

Super Bet has 2 levels and you have to pay an additional bet to your 25 initial credits in order to make use of them, on the first level you must wager a total of 35 credits per spin, on the second level 50 credits; more little dragons clearly mean a greater chance to get big wins because of the greatest chance of having a greater number of wilds on your screen, however I think the trick is to choose the best times to add and remove little dragons according to what it says your instinct of player, this to obtain greater profit.

According to information of the game, each Super Bet level has its own RTP this way: No Superbet: 95,223%, Suberbet 1: 95,330% and Superbet 2: 95,618%, to me the differences here are minimal and therefore I choose to constantly exchange Superbet levels, I mainly like to raise my Superbet and value of coins when I think it is about time of happening a round of 10 free spins and be aware of during free games the little dragons increase their activity and winnings may be still higher.

In general, I liked this slot a lot, I could make good profits quickly with a bit of luck and strategy, I found this slot tremendously fun as well as generous, "A Dragon's Story" is a game not to be missed, almost a work of art from my viewpoint.
