Play Dragon Lady for Free

We’re a little bemused by this theme. When you see the word dragon in a title, you basically expect to see some dragons. Unfortunately, no dragons to be found here! This is a simple, no frills slot game with only a free spins round to jazz things up a bit.

A mish mash of fantasy symbols deck the reels, with a backdrop of a sort of stone vault, a little bit like the Moria mines from Lord of the Rings. The symbols include a bejewelled spellbook, a sword, a treasure chest, a crystal ball and a cluster of gold rings which look very much like the One Ring, including the inscription. This symbol is the Scatter, which when landed twice anywhere on the reels leads to a cash prize and a free spins round.

The dragon lady herself with her ornate gold helmet is the Wild symbol. Even the symbols seem mismatched; the spellbook and crystal ball from a witch or wizard theme and the sword and fighting character from a medieval or fantasy theme. The music is appropriate for the theme but the other sounds are more traditional in style, which again presents a mismatch in styles. Sorry GameART, but we just don’t get it. It’s almost as though the theme was thrown together from random suggestions at the last minute.

This is a 5 reel, 10 payline game with a top prize of 2,000 coins. Coin values range from 0.01 to 2 with a maximum total bet of 50.00 and a minimum of 0.25, so a wide variety of stake options to suit all pockets. The number of active paylines is not adjustable here, but since the coin values start low this isn’t an expensive game to play even with 25 paylines active.

The features here are the Dragon Lady Wild and the Gold Ring Scatter, which triggers the free spins round when landed twice anywhere on the reels. The free spins round has excellent potential, our first round of free spins landed us a total of 106 coins! The spins can also be retriggered.

Unfortunately, that’s all there is to this game; the Wild, the Scatter and the free spins round. No bonus games or extra features, just a simple straightforward slot with a mediocre theme. The values of the symbols are in the pay table below, calculated based on a bet of 0.10 per line for a 2.50 total bet.

Admittedly, we’re getting a little tired of the overused fantasy and magic themes, which have been interpreted in every possible way to produce dozens of slot games and land based slot machines. We love to see an original theme and they seem to be increasingly hard to find. So when we first played Dragon Lady, we were basically underwhelmed with the theme from the start, and further disappointed by a mediocre rendering of it.

The plot here makes no sense and the graphics are nothing particularly special. The game is simple to play but we found nothing that would make us come back to Dragon Lady. A dragon or two might have done the trick!
