Firedrake’s Fortune

Firedrake’s Fortune Review

Not all games need extreme innovation to be enjoyable, and this game is a perfect example. It features a visually attractive dragon/fantasy theme, with nice, cartoon-style animations that really fit. Bets from 50p to £100 per spin make it accessible to many players.

The 3 Hyperbet levels offer more flexibility, though level 1 feels weak and not very useful. Expanded wilds with multipliers are key for bigger wins, and you’ll want a higher multiplier limit in the bonus. This game isn't for everyone, but is a good choice for most players.

Firedrake’s Fortune Features

There’s a Collection Meter on the right, with 3 dragon head tiers. Collect 3, 6 or 9 eggs to reach each tier. Gameplay runs in 10-spin cycles called a LuckyLoop.

The 10th spin gives 1, 2 or 3 randomly placed and fully expanded Red Dragon multiplier wilds. The multiplier is 1x, 2x or 3x, depending on your Hyperbet level. You have 3 Hyperbet levels to choose. Level 2 costs 2.1x, and level 3 costs 3.8x a regular level 1 spin.

Also, the regular Blue Dragon wild expands on the 10th spin, but has no multiplier. The Collection Meter then resets, and the LuckyLoop restarts.

The Red Dragon’s blinking eye is the bonus symbol. Get at least 3 to trigger the bonus round. The Blue Dragon wild now expands to cover the reel when it lands. Initial free spins, the multiplier starting level, and max level depend on your Hyperbet level:

• Hyperbet level 1 = 6 free spins, multiplier starts at 2x, increases +1 per spin to 6x.
• Hyperbet level 2 = 8 free spins, multiplier starts at 3x, increases +1 per spin to 8x.
• Hyperbet level 3 = 10 free spins, multiplier starts at 4x, increases +1 per spin to 10x.

Red Dragon wilds are sticky. The multiplier level for the wilds is the same as in the meter. Sticky wilds get upgraded with a higher multiplier each spin, until max value. The Blue Dragon Eye symbol gives +1 extra spin.

Non-UK players can buy the bonus via the HyperBonus feature. Choose 6, 8 or 10 free spins, with multipliers as above. Costs are 40.72x, 114.6x or 255x your stake.

The 200 Spins Firedrake’s Fortune Experience

The LuckyLoop Expanding Wild feature was fascinating. You can watch a 200 spins video, or skip to the bonus round at 4:25.

Review Summary

This is a nicely designed slot with good animations and visuals. However, the minimum spin price to get the most out of the game is £/€1.90. A bit much for some, but Hyperbet level 2 is £/€1.05 per spin.

Hyperbet level 1 is pointless, as you need multiplier wins to stay afloat. You can land sticky multiplier wilds in free spins and still win little. The bonus round builds to an exciting climax sometimes, making you want another try. Overall, this game offers a good time if you can afford the highest Hyperbet level, where the potential is worth it.
