Play Dark Mystic for Free

With a name like Dark Mystic, you would be right to think that this game is not going to be filled with bubbly characters and bright colour schemes. On the contrary, the dark fantasy themed slot which was created with software by Felix Gaming takes players deep into the heart of a treacherous kingdom of arcane arts and ferocious beasts. Think less yellow brick road and more road to Mordor with a game screen that presents a dark and obscure setting with a less than inviting castle propped up on a hill with a dragon as a guard dog.

From an aesthetic point of view, the Dark Mystic video slot does a great job at setting the scene with its clearly defined characters and Gothic design features. Admittedly, the two dimensional nature of the graphics means that it can’t quite be classes as “cutting edge”. But, then again, the illustrated symbols have a certain nostalgic charm about them which fits in perfectly with the fantasy genre of the game and there are still some nifty animations to catch the punter’s eye.

You don’t need to be a dragon slayer to tame the fiery reels of this slot machine for some real cash prizes, all you need is a betting balance and a bit of luck. The 10-payline game can be played with low limit wagers that are as little as 0.10 credits while the biggest bet available is 15.00 credits. As such, this gambling game should appeal to many a player, no matter the size of their budget.

Of course, the bigger the bet, the bigger the potential returns are going to be. The most high paying symbol in the slot is he treasure chest icon which will reward a 5,000x line bet multiplier whenever five land on an active line. There are plenty more ways to win and this relatively low volatility slot should keep the small prizes coming at a relatively fast rate of knots.

One thing that struck us when checking out this new slot machine from Felix Gaming is the fact that, unlike most real money online slots, it doesn’t offer any free spins. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that there aren’t any extra ways to find some bonus prizes. For starters, the game’s dragon icon acts as a wild icon that will substitute for all symbols to complete winning formations. From time to time, this almighty beast will fly from its perch to turn an entire reel into a wild symbol for extra winning chances.

The game also has a ‘Reel Refill’ feature that will cause any symbol in a winning formation to disappear while new icons fall into place to fill in the gaps, with every chance for an extra winning sequence to be found. Unfortunately, this cascading reel element won’t bring any bonus multipliers into the equation for consequent wins on the re-spin.

Dragons might not be real, but they are certainly popular with the punters judging from the huge amount of free online slots which feature the fire-breathing beasts on the reels. Some of the most popular and recent slots with dragon characters include Dragon Island by NetEnt, Dragonz by Microgaming and Double Dragons by Yggdrasil Gaming.

In many ways, Dark Mystic is far from being a completely unique slot maachine - the fantasy theme of magic sorcerers and dragons is fairly popular and you can easily find other games online which have a similar 5-reel design as this effort by Felix Gaming. Nevertheless, the slot is still stunning to behold and the gameplay is a little bit different than usual since it substitutes the standard free spins for some cascading reel refills with stacked wilds.
