Dragon’s Keep

Dragon’s Keep, with its big rewards and fantasy-inspired graphics, is likely going to be one of the best slot machines that we’re going to get at the end of the year when it’s scheduled for release. The game is offered by Games Global, and it’s going to be designed by Gold Coin Studios.

They went with a simple-enough setup, 5×3 reels hosting the usual 25 lines. You’re able to claim a prize of up to 10,000x the bet inside, but even though the slot pays quite often (41.23% hit rate), the volatility is high. Its RTP is set to a healthy 96.06%. I think you will enjoy the features which were added, including the Traveling Wilds with up to 8x multipliers, and the Golden Dragon Free Spins.

Betting and Prizes

The bets of the game start from just $0.25 and may go up to $25 per spin.

A 10,000x jackpot means that you could get paid up to $250,000 in Dragon’s Keep. The slot’s high volatility could be an issue, but it pays quite often, and the 96.06% RTP tells us that the odds are fine, even though you might not feel it directly.

Dragon’s Keep Game Features

You can get regular wild symbols on reels 2-4, and they do get used as substitutes when it’s possible for new combinations to form with their help. It’s also possible to get a wild multiplier at the top of those reels, in which case these regular wilds turn into Traveling Wilds.

The Traveling Wilds start moving down by one position during each spin until eventually, they get to the bottom. If new wild multipliers appear, the Traveling Wilds are improved, and they could apply up to 8x multipliers to wins.

Whenever the Golden Dragon appears completely in view, both on reels 1 and 5, you receive 10 free spins. The three reels have random multipliers associated with them, between 2x and 5x, and they will land in a random position. If wilds appear there, they turn into multiplier wilds and they become sticky.

At this point, getting the Golden Dragon to appear again on those two reels (1 and 5) will bring you a prize of up to 10,000x the stake.

Theme & Design

There are dragons on the reels of Dragon’s Keep, and a lava-filled cave in the background, so it looks like their home. The four dragons are colored purple, green, blue, or red, and they’re the top symbols. The lesser symbols are with the card suits, all four of them.

Conclusion

Dragon’s Keep manages to do something interesting with those wilds and the way they get new abilities, but it all seems over-complicated considering how limited their potential is. With regular wins paying up to 20x the stake, even with multiplier wilds boosting all combinations you can’t come close to the jackpot paid at random during one of its features.
