Double Dragons (Yggdrasil )

Review

A premium studio may be taking things slowly, but has essentially no bad releases. For that reason, it’s a good idea to even go back to its older releases from time to time, and this slot from 2016 is indeed one of those timeless experiences that are still worth it. It’s a 5x3 affair with 25 paylines, and we’ll tell you all about it in this slot review!

As its title suggests, this is indeed a fantasy-themed slot full of dragons, and that’s something that many players are certainly going to fancy. What’s more, its production values are absolutely on point, and it all looks great and feels great. There are plenty of small animations that make the slot feel well and truly alive, and the graphics just haven’t aged one bit, which is impressive!

As for the math model, it combines a medium-high volatility level with a lowish jackpot worth 800x your bet. The game's hit frequency is then 26.40%, and you can enjoy the proceedings for stakes between £0.25 and £125 per spin. The theoretical RTP is then 96.10%, which is slightly above average.

Slot Features

There are just 8 pay symbols, and they are divided evenly into 4 low pays and 4 high pays. You won’t have any issues telling them apart, either. You see, while the low pays are just your basic card suits, the high pays feature animated dragon eyes of various colors.

You can also look forward to Wilds and Dragon Heads. Dragon Heads work as Wilds as well, but they are also there to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Kicking off the gameplay, we have the Dropdown Win feature, which is essentially a fancy name for your usual Cascades. Whenever you hit a winning combination, it will disappear, allowing new symbols to drop onto the playing field. Those can now form new winning combinations, of course, and it all continues for as long as you keep getting new payouts.

Getting 4 consecutive wins triggers the Double Dragons feature, which adds two Highstack Wild symbols to the reels. These symbols can be as high as 28 symbols!

As for the Dragon Head symbols, there are actually two types of them. Fire Dragon Heads breathe fire and convert up to 3 other symbols into Wilds. Ice Dragon Heads, on the other hand, multiply Dropdown Wins by 2x.

All Dragon Heads are automatically collected during the base game, and you need 9 of a matching type to trigger the Free Spins feature. You’ll get 5 free spins with the given Dragon Head appearing during the Double Dragons feature, and you’ll also need just 2 consecutive wins (instead of 4) to trigger that feature!

Review Summary

To sum things up, this is a magnificent release that remains to be a great experience even several years after its original release. Its graphics are polished, its gameplay features go really well together, and it’s all just worth seeing in action!
