Novomatic slot games aren’t renowned for their design flair but Dragon Warrior is very easy on the senses. There’s a historical feel to the imagery. The black reels are set against the rooftops of a traditional Chinese palace. There you’ll find A to J royal values as well as a fan, a treasure chest and a trio of warriors. The best standard symbol is the sword-wielding man. This pays 1.66 times your total stake if you land 5 in a row. Not massive we grant you. Symbols can appear in stacks so you can land multiple payline wins on the same spin.
Potentially far more rewarding is the golden dragon which is the wild. This replaces all other symbols apart from the scatter. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 wilds in combination and the you’ll win 0.5, 2, 10 or 33.33 times your total stake.
The Bonus symbol spins in a fully stacked formation and appear on the middle 3 reels only. Land 7, 8 or 9 Bonus symbols on the same spin and you’ll pocket an award of 2 times your stake as well as triggering the game’s Free Games feature you’ll then go on to play 8, 16 or 32 free spins. It comes with Mega Stacks symbols to help you win more.
Dragon Warrior is a typically simple game from Novomatic. You won’t find anything particularly exotic here as far as gameplay goes. The best opportunities arise in the free spins round. This isn’t a very volatile slot game either. The variance here is in the low to medium range with top wins of 1,000 times your stake on each spin.
There’s nothing extraordinary on offer here either in terms of design or features in Dragon Warrior. It’s playable enough but will probably only stand repeat viewing if you enjoy the Chinese theme. I would much rather play Warlords: Crystals of Power by Net Entertainment which has a similar feel but offers more in terms of features and maximum win.
