Over the past few months, we have seen a boom in slot games about dragons or even games with a fully fledged dragon theme. Having played all of them, Dragonz by Microgaming probably offers the most fun gaming experience. Part of the reason of it being so fun is because the animated theme was easy on the eyes and the dragons look like they came straight out of an animated movie.
And then there is the sheer profitability of the bonus feature – you may win up to a staggering 3,500 times your spin wager in a single spin. Join dragons Flint, Frost, Switch and Gobble, and may you be blessed with tonnes of Wilds!

Dragonz by Microgaming is a five reel slot with 243 ways to win. To soar high with the dragons in this game, you will have to wager a minimum of 40p and you may raise your stakes all the way up to £30 per spin. For all the high rollers out there, fret not as £30 per spin is high enough of a wager for you to be aiming for the big money. It goes without saying, given the small wagering range, this game is geared more towards casual players.

Bonus Features
All four dragons in this game play a massive role in the bonus features department. Before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s quickly glance through the basics. Firstly, are the Wilds and in Dragonz, they come in the form of the bright orange symbol. As usual, the Wilds will replace all other symbols (except scatters) to complete winning combinations.
Next up are the extra spins. There are four types of them in total, each after a different dragon character. To trigger the extra spins in this game, you will need to get a minimum of three jewel symbols anywhere on your reels. Once the extra spins are activated, you may be rewarded any one of the following:
- Flint Extra Spins – You will be rewarded 10 extra spins that come with Flaming Wilds. In this feature, Flint will randomly breathe fire Wilds onto your reels. The maximum number of Wilds you can have is 10.
- Frost Extra Spins – You will be rewarded 10 extra spins that come with Frosty Wilds. All Frost Wilds remain sticky until they are part of a winning combination.
- Switch Extra Spins – You will be rewarded 10 extra spins with stashed Wilds. Once you have gathered more than three Wilds from non-winning spins, you will be guaranteed a massive win.
- Gobble Extra Spins – You will be rewarded 10 extra spins with Winning Wilds. Gobble will breathe Wilds on specific locations on your reels to guarantee wins.
Last but not least, there is the Wild Deal bonus feature. After a non-winning spin in which there is a Wild on your third reel, more wilds will be spread across your other reels to give you a win.
How Does The Game Perform?
As mentioned previously, the dragons in this game look like they came straight out of an animation movie. Needless to say, all the graphics and animations in this game have been designed beautifully.
What we really like about this game was how each dragon was given equal chances of appearances. If you stick around long enough, you are likely to be able to play every dragon’s feature. All in all, the execution of the theme at hand is second to none. Similar to other releases by Microgaming, Dragonz is available on both mobile and desktop regardless of software platforms.
The Feature That You Should Look Out For
Like it or not, this game is all about the Wilds and the variations of it. The base game, the bonus features and everything else in between has been developed around the Wilds. Frankly, this feature works exceptionally well with the 243 ways to win. In fact, it is pretty much the sole driver of profitability in this game.
Put it this way – get enough Wilds on your reels and you may be walking home with cash prizes of up to 3,500x your spin wager!
