Like most slot games in the Tom Horn Gaming catalogue, the design in Dragon Egg is nicely done. The reels contain scaly playing card values as well as 5 higher value dragons. The best of these are the red and gold dragons, both of which offer payouts of 41.66 times your stake if you land 5 in combination.
Better still is the mighty black dragon. This is the game’s wild and replaces everything bar the scatter. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these on a payline and you’ll pocket 555.55 times your stake. If you get a win with a wild, your outcome is doubled.
The main attraction is triggered by landing 3 or more of the dragon egg scatter on the same spin. As well as a payout equal to 5, 25 or 250 times your total stake, you’ll all activate the Free Spins feature. You’ll be taken to a new screen and offered a selection of 15 eggs. Behind each egg is a dragon. Find 3 of the same action and that’s the free spin and multiplier combination that you’ll receive:
- Purple Dragon = 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier
- Green Dragon = 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier
- Blue Dragon = 20 free spins with a 3x multiplier
- Gold Dragon = 25 free spins with a 4x multiplier
- Red Dragon = 30 free spins with a 5x multiplier
As you’d expect from a slot gaming starring fire-breathing creatures, the variance here is red hot. This is a volatile game and you can expect potentially big swings to your bankroll. There’s up to 50,000 times your stake to be won on each free spin if you fill the reels with wilds and have a 5x multiplier!
Like most slot games from this developer, Dragon Egg is a very simple, well designed game. It doesn’t offer much in the way of variety but the multipliers in the Free Spins feature make it well worth waiting for.
This isn’t usually one of our favourite theme - Tom Horn Gaming has done a nice job though which makes it well worth hatching Dragon Egg. I also suggest you take a look at Viking Vanguard from WMS which has a similar feel.
