Mini Dragons Slot
When we think of dragons we always think of menacing beasts like those we see in Game of Thrones or The Hobbit, but sometimes adorable mini dragons pop up from time to time and reignite our love for these mystical critters in a whole new way. Mini Dragons from Ash Gaming is one of those instances.
They may not be the most manly looking, but they warm your heart the moment you lay eyes on them. In this particular game they fly along 5-reels and 20 paylines, all of which have a charming sky background that is their home. On your adventure with them you’ll discover a couple of special features which will prove most beneficial to getting the 5,000 credit jackpot.
We’re not sure if you’ll need any help, but in the spirit of a classic gamer meme: you’ll need this. Our review is like that unique weapon or potion that can make all the difference to your experience, so please don’t overlook it.
Gateway to Cuteness
You should find that the title loads quite easily, and when it does a 3x5 matrix will show up, which has a large grey arrow on the left hand side. This is the key to being able to properly start the game – tap it and a list of options will reveal themselves, among them the line bet amounts.
There is a simple plus and minus widget that will allow users to increase the figure from 0.01 to 10.00, which can be bet on all 20 lines if you so wish, however you can also reduce or increase your paylines. In doing so you can make the title a lot more manageable, though in doing so you will also limit the amount of money you can win.
Gamers can opt for Turbo Mode from this panel as well – this is essentially like fast play features available with other brands. Instead of having to watch the reels spin, they just halt to a fresh set of icons. It is a great way of speeding up the entire slot machine process, which is ideal for those who want to get down to winning above all else.
The big button to your right s your way to start everything rolling, and should you hold it down a window will pop up giving you Autoplay options. Here you can select the number of times the images spin, how much money you need to lose before the feature ends, and the amount you need to win before the options present themselves once more. It is quite thorough in what it offers.
Who Are These Mini Dragons and What Do They Want?
In truth there are only four creatures, the rest of the icons being those you’d see in a pack of cards: A, K, Q and J, and then there is a golden egg which acts as the scatter symbol of the piece. Also thrown in there is a chest of treasures and a shiny crown, which is fitting given dragons are known to be greedy and obsessed with gold, though these cuties look like they wouldn’t be obsessive about anything.
The J is the lowest value tile on the table, coming in at a low 30 credits when you find five of them; there is then a steady increase by ten coins up until A, where a 25 increase comes into effect. As for the remaining symbols they come into the hundreds, with the pink and blue dragons giving you a nice 1,000 plus coin total, with the latter creature being the symbol that will get you that big money prize.
When it comes to the aesthetics of the whole game, they’re very simple pastels and childlike imagery that you’d expect to see in a child’s nursery rather than in a video slot. That being said, don’t let the subdued shades and sweet theme fool you, this title has a few secrets up its sleeve that make it one to keep returning to. These come in the form of the aforementioned golden egg and exploding reels feature.
Splat! Goes the Egg
In all honesty the egg doesn’t really go splat in this game, but you get the idea. The scatter symbol (that’s the egg, if you’ve been paying attention. Points for you!) causes the explosions and a series of crescendos will occur.
When a winning combination of the eggs are uncovered, they will hatch a fire breathing dragon who takes it upon himself to set your reels ablaze, in which other symbols replace the burnt ones and lead to more wins rolling in. It’s a great way of securing victory, but it can become a very boring feature when you consider it’s the only one the title has to offer; prolonged repetition is nobody’s friend.
Bye Bye Little Dragons
This activity is a very odd one – it looks good, the gameplay is easy to understand and follow, but the bonuses, or lack of, make it quite flat and lifeless. Only the jackpot can be seen as the redeeming feature here, but even that might not have you returning for many more rounds with the mini dragons.
