Dragon's Axe

Dragon's Axe Review

Venture on a quest to confront a dragon and claim its riches in Dragon’s Axe. The visual presentation is impressive, capturing the cold and challenging atmosphere of the Viking era. The game is set in a northern village during winter, where your determination is tested.

The game features a 6x4 grid offering up to 4096 ways to win per spin. Bets range from £0.5 to £3 per spin. Dragon’s Axe has an RTP of 96%, which aligns with the industry standard.

The Dragon’s Axe Slot Features

Dragon’s Axe includes 10 standard symbols and various bonus symbols. High-value symbols include a dragon, a dragon’s eye, dragon eggs, armor, and a bow with arrows, while lower-value symbols are represented by A-10 icons. Wins are achieved by landing at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. The paytable adjusts based on your current bet; for instance, a 6-symbol win with a £1 bet yields £1 to £20.

The base game of Dragon’s Axe features Wilds and the Gamble feature. The wild symbol, represented by a Viking, substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, appearing only on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The Gamble feature allows you to potentially double your winnings by correctly guessing the color of a card (red or black).

The Dragon’s Axe Re-Spins feature activates when the bonus symbol with 2 axes lands on top of a closed shield. This will randomly destroy some shields, and they remain in that state for 1 spin and 1 re-spin.

The Free Spins mode is triggered by landing 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 in a single spin, awarding 10 free spins, which cannot be retriggered. The scatter symbol is depicted as a Viking’s axe in the base game, and as a Dragon’s Axe during the Free Spins mode. You can accumulate up to 9 axes during the Free Spins mode, with each axe destroying one shield in the base game, until the next trigger of this bonus or the Dragon’s Axe Re-Spins feature. Stacked wilds, covering 2 to 4 reel positions, can also appear during the Free Spins mode.

Review recap

Dragon’s Axe is a well-designed slot, both in terms of visuals and mechanics. The graphics are impressive, effectively conveying the harsh Viking environment. Its features and average RTP provide a balanced gaming experience. The requirement to trigger the Free Spins mode and collect 9 axes to fully open the grid might be seen as a drawback. However, the game is visually appealing, balanced, and has intuitive mechanics, making it easy to pick up and play.
