Dragon Shard Slot » Free To Play » Stormcraft Studios

Dragon Shard is another video slot where we see Stormcraft Studios and Microgaming put their creative heads together. And, this time, they give us a game that’s played out on a 5×5 grid, with five reels, five rows and forty paylines in tow. It’s a traditional take on a slot format. But don’t worry; there is more to come.

If you’re running with what many would describe as a standard video slot setup that is quite restrictive in the sense it only has 40 paylines, then you need to give the game a bit of umpph via other means, and the theme is an excellent place to start.

As you will gather from the slot’s title, Dragon Shard is a game that features the mythical beasts that are, of course, dragons. In short, Dragon Shard is a fantasy-themed slot that, in our opinion, has some Game of Thrones vibes going on.

You see, in this five-reel game, there are dragons and mythical beasts, accompanied by heroes, with the surroundings covered in snow, just as though winter has come. It’s a visually appealing game for this reason, with the developers clearly focusing on the theme and artwork rather than innovation.

But, while the focus is more on the theme and graphics than other things, it doesn’t mean there aren’t some great features to enjoy when spinning the reels of Dragon Shard, with mystery symbols and more available, which we will come onto shortly.

Game Features

Before the action gets underway in Dragon Shard, players will have a decision to make in terms of the Win Booster system. They can, of course, play the slot as standard and try and find combos from left to right. Or, there is the option to pay double the stake to activate the Win Booster, which means wins can be found left to right and right to left. And also, when the Mystery Symbol feature triggers, the icons will only be of a high value.

Speaking of the Mystery Symbol, it’s a feature that will come into play at random, with all mystery symbols turning into the randomly chosen icon. However, as mentioned above, if the Win Booster system is in play, it will result in high-value icons only. If the Win Booster system isn’t active, any icons can be the mystery symbol.

In keeping with the somewhat standard nature of this slot’s set-up, Stormcraft Studios and Microgaming deliver a free spins feature, which will please players. However, they’re going to need three or more scatters in view simultaneously before they can get their hands on ten free spins.

During the free spins, players can also benefit from Mystery Reels, where only mystery icons will appear on them, and it’s all dependent on how many scatters were in view when triggering the free spins. For example, three scatters will produce one mystery reel. It’s here the game’s top prize of 800x becomes available.
