Play Dragon Lore for Free

Dragon Lore is set inside an ice cave of a fantasy world where a fire-breathing dragon is on the hunt for his next prey on the slot reels. He is seen in a deep sleep on the right of the game window, and waking him up will enrage him so badly that he will start breathing smoke in four different colors, each announcing a specific random reel modifier. The background of the game will also turn the same color of the associated modifier. A somewhat heroic but pleasant soundtrack is accompanied by reel and win sounds, loudly interrupted by the dragon’s roar when he awakes.

The slot has nine pay symbols and one wild symbol, which can all appear stacked. The low end consists of J, Q and K. On the medium-value level are a series of five gems in yellow, blue, green, red and white. The top-paying symbol is the slot logo. The wild symbol appears as a gem in rainbow shades with the word “Wild” across it. There are no bonus or scatter symbols on this slot, as the free spins feature is triggered when five of the games are seen landing on a payline.

Dragon Lore is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 20 fixed paylines. The features include wild substitutions, four random reel modifiers and five types of free spins. The game has medium volatility with an RTP of 95.96%. Naturally, the slot was designed in HTML5 format, making it available for play on any desktop and mobile device across all OS platforms. A clever AutoPlay function allows you to play up to 100 consecutive spins, with two options as to when the run should stop. It will always stop when free spins are triggered.

Facing the dragon will cost from 0.20 to 40 coins. The bravest player will be rewarded with wins from 5x to 25x their stake for a single five of a kind. The maximum win on a single spin peaks at a huge 2,500x the bet.

The dragon can suddenly awake on any spin in the base game to award one of four reel modifiers – Lightning, Air, Earth, and Fire. The dragon’s breath and the background will turn the same color as the associated reel modifier.

Lightning is announced by a yellow color, adding a win multiplier ranging from 2x to 5x to one or more wild symbols if they land in a winning combination on the spin. Air initiates a blue haze and the dragon will wait for the reels to stop, after which he will turn a random number of reel positions into wild symbols. Earth comes with a green color, seeing the dragon transform one or more reels into wild reels.

Reel modifier four is Fire, which is naturally represented by red. The dragon will spew fire onto reel one to transform all positions into the top-paying Dragon Lore symbols. Reel one is then locked in place, together with other Dragon Lore or wild symbols present on the reels, for three respins. Any further wild or Dragon Lore symbols landing on the respins will be locked as well. Wins are evaluated after the last respin.

Hitting five of a kind of any of the five gem pay symbols on a win line will trigger eight free spins. Each gem will activate the type of free spins feature associated with the gem and color, which includes a specific random reel modifier that is activated at a higher frequency during the feature. Wild symbols substitute missing gem symbols.

Multiple free spins rounds of any color can be won in a single spin, with a set of eight free spins being awarded for each five of a kind. They can also be retriggered during the feature. A display at the bottom of the game window will indicate which type of free spins is in play, as well as the remaining free spin rounds if more than one have been won.

Lightning Spins are triggered by five-of-a-kind yellow gems. The dragon will randomly add a multiplier of between 2x and 5x to any wild symbol in a winning combination. More than one multiplier on a spin will be added, not multiplied. For example, a 2x multiplier and a 3x multiplier in a winning combination will multiply the win by 5x.

Air Spins are triggered by five of a kind of blue gems. The dragon will wait for the reels to stop, and then transform a random number of symbols into wild symbols. Earth Spins are triggered by five-of-a-kind green gems. The dragon will randomly turn one or more reels into stacked wild symbols.

Fire Spins are triggered by five of a kind of red gems. The dragon will randomly transform all positions on reel one into the top-paying Dragon Lore symbols. Reel one is then locked in place, together with other Dragon Lore or wild symbols present on the reels, for three respins. Any further wild or Dragon Lore symbols landing on the respins will be locked as well. Wins are evaluated after the last respin.

The Ice Spins round is triggered by five-of-a-kind white gems. The dragon will freeze any wild symbols for a random number of spins. A thaw counter will indicate how many more spins the wilds will stay locked for.

In our test runs, we hit the biggest wins in the Fire Spins and Ice Spins round. The average should be between 50x to 100x the initial stake. However, the top win in a single spin of 2,500x the bet can only be hit in the Lightning Spins round with a full screen of Dragon Lore symbols in combination with wild symbols, which will have a win multiplier attached.

Although dragons are usually fearsome creatures, they have been featured many times in video slots. Some of the best examples are Double Dragons from Yggdrasil Gaming and Dragonz from Microgaming.

This is a truly entertaining slot. Non-stop action with four random features and five types of free spins, superb graphics, a pleasing soundtrack, plus high win potential are all ingredients any avid slot player loves to see in a game. No doubt, Dragon Lore will end on many a list of favorites. Ready to face the dragon yourself?
