Wins with an 8x multiplier are possible on Dragon Island thanks to the three different Wild substitution variations. Keep a special eye out for the Golden Wild on the middle reel which replaces all other symbols apart from the scatter when Win Both Ways is activated.
Free spins and big multipliers are also on offer via the Free Spins feature which is triggered when at least 3 volcano Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Three trigger 10 free spins and a 3x your stake as a cash prize. Find four to receive 20 free spins with a 10x stake prize. Five trigger 50 free spins and a mammoth 100 cash stake prize. Even more freebies are on offer if three Scatters appear in the feature.
The base game can certainly be profitable too. Find 5 orange fire-breathing dragon on a single payline and its worth over 666 times your stake. Of course if you're in Win Both Ways mode that amount will be doubled. The 5 reel, 20 payline Dragon Island is graphically pretty simple. The dragons on the reels are nicely drawn and the tropical looking backdrop is very easy on the eye but there's nothing too flashy or ground-breaking.
The chief attraction of course is the Win Both Ways feature which greatly enhances the chancing of scooping up a big score. With up to 2,238 times your stake available if you’re extremely lucky in the Free Spins feature, there are plenty of good reasons to brave a trip to Dragon Island. If you like dragon-themed slots, you should definitely try WMS Gaming’s Viking Vanguard which is highly volatile and one of my favourites. You can also play 50 Dragons by Aristocrat which is a land based classic.
