Visually, Dragonz is a very glossy affair - the imagery is HD, 3D and super sharp. Joining the lower value playing cards are a quartet of cartoon dragons – Flint, Switch, Frost and Gobble. Keep a special eye on the wild - as you'd expect, it substitutes for everything apart from the scatter.
The wild can offer a little something extra if it lands on the middle reel and no winning combination is formed. Extra wilds are then added to the other reels and you're guaranteed to land a winner. This is known as the Wild Deal feature.
Dragonz also comes with 4 different free spin offerings, each of which is based on 1 of the 4 dragons and triggered by landing 3 or more scatter symbols:
- Flint Free Spins feature - 10 free spins are awarded. Flint will breath fire onto the reels and turn a selection of symbols wild with up to 10 possible.
- Switch Free Spins feature - once again you'll receive 10 free spins. Every time a wild lands that doesn't form part of a winning combination, that wild is saved. Once 3 or more wilds have been saved, they are distributed onto the reels at random and a win is guaranteed. The free spins continue until all your wilds have been used.
- Frost Free Spins feature - your 10 free spins here benefit from Frosty Wilds. Any wilds that don't form part of a winning combo are frozen in place until they do create a winner. The free spins continue until no wilds are left on the reels.
- Gobble Free Spins feature - the 10 free spins here come with Winning Wilds. Watch as Gobble spits wilds onto the reels. These wilds remain in place as long as they form part of a winning configuration.
Which free spin feature you receive is decided at random initially. After you've triggered the Free Spins feature a dozen times, you'll have the pick of the 4 individual free spins features.
The sound and visuals on show in Dragonz are high spec and very easy on the eye and ear - there's a nice selection of extras too. The Wild Deal feature is a good addition to the base game action but the real thrills come in the feature round where the wild extras give the free spins feature plenty of added spice. As far as variance goes, Dragonz is in the medium range.
Dragonz is a nice all-rounder, combining top notch design with plenty of bonuses. Add potential payouts of over 3,583 times your bet to the mix and it's well worth a closer look. If you like the dragon theme, I recommend you try Jurassic Park, also by Microgaming, which is based on the blockbuster film.
