Dragon Wins

Game of Thrones has brought dragons back in style, but the ones in this game are simply too cute to instill fear in the masses. Dragon Wins, from the software gang at NextGen, is a video slot with a few unique features that may just get you hooked and adopt these critters as your own.

They're always with you on the screen, one in each corner, floating and flying and watching the action. The playing field is a stylized octagon designed in stone, with five reels; reels one and five are three rows, reels two and four are four rows, and the middle reel has five blocks. There are 40 pay lines. You can set the coin size.

Your betting and balance information are along the bottom of the screen, and your controls – including spin, auto play, settings and sound – are in a clickwheel type circle on the right side. It's perfect for tablet or mobile device play, but of course it is optimized for computer play as well.

The symbols are various colored jewels, and portraits of the dragons. You'll also see Scatter and Wild icons. Note, however, that there are no bonus games or multipliers in this game.

Stacked Dragons earned you three dragon spins, and during this round your winning dragon icon lights up the reels as they spin. Three or more Scatters win you up to 15 free games, during which symbols become Wilds for big wins and additional free spins.

Keep your eye on the gems next to each of your fire-breathing critters, because once they are filled up, you can win anything from Dragon Spins to Dragon Reels. And when you trigger Dragon's Fire, you win the jackpot.
