Play ‘N Go have a reputation for creating beautifully designed slots and Dragon Ship is no exception. The reels are set against an ocean backdrop of flowing waves and include a selection of finely crafted symbols. Look out for shields, horns and axes as well as a collection of Norse style playing card symbols from A to 10. The Viking warrior is the biggest of the standard symbols, offering 2,500 times your line bet if you find five in a payline.
The ship's dragon head is the wild, substituting for all other symbols apart from the bonus. The wild can appear as stacked on reels 1 and 5. When it is fully stacked on both of these reels you'll trigger the feature and be awarded 15 free spins. The stacked wilds will remain in place throughout the free spins, greatly enhancing your chances of finding a winner or two.
Look out too for the golden treasure chest on reels 1, 3 and 5 which acts as the scatter. Find 3 of them anywhere on the reels and you'll activate the Bonus feature - it's a classic pick me feature. Simply choose 1 of the treasure chests shown to reveal a cash prize. If your luck is in, that can reach 150 times your total stake.
The variance is on the high side of medium with the best chance of winning big coming via the free spins round where the two stacked wilds can be a big help.
The Vikings have been a popular theme for slots developers - Dragon Ship is a welcome addition to the genre. It looks superb and is matched by the backing track which features plenty of nautical noises and really enhances the atmosphere.
The features aren't bad either, especially the free spins round. Even the least likely sailor should find something to enjoy on this ship. If you like dragons, Dragon’s Inferno is very good as to is the volatile Viking Vanguard (both by WMS Gaming).
