How To Play Dragon Shard Mobile Slot
Set on 5×5 reels this Dragon Shard slot machine has lots of fun little details that will have you wishing you could ride real dragons and find the horde of treasure.
If you know a little bit about Stormcraft studios, you’ll know that their very first online slot was the Fortunium game, which (at face value) seems to be almost identical.
After all, Dragon Shard is a 5×5 video slot with 40 paylines, wilds, stacked symbols, free spins and mystery symbols. It’s identical to Fortunium except this one has a high fantasy theme which is beautifully done.
So should you jump in because of the Dragons, the Ice King and the beautiful Elven fairy? Or is there some better underlying reason to jump into this gorgeous land?
This is much better than the original
You still get the win boost button which, for a little extra cost, means that the stacks of mystery symbols now only have high paying symbols and no low paying ones.
Only in this Dragon Shard mobile slot the reels will now pay both ways, so left to right and right to left, which makes those stacks of mystery symbols far more effective.
Better yet, they’ve improved everything. The RTP is set at a higher 96.77%, the wins come more often and the top win is set at a much higher 160,000 max win.
The Dragon Shard slot is wonderfully good fun
All these little tweaks may not seem like much, but it really improves this real money slot from just playable to huge loads of fun.
This is helped by the Dragon Shards free spin bonus games where you are guaranteed one stack of mystery symbols on one reel at all times. If you’re lucky you’ll get two or three, and that’s where the real fun begins.
Of course, catching 4 or 5 scatters isn’t easy, but the pay both way reels makes you feel like there’s potential, even with just one mystery reel in place. Better than the Dragons Awakening by Relax Gaming, by a long shot.
We didn’t think we’d like this Dragon Shard online slot as much as we did, thinking it nothing more than a copy. But we’re glad Stormcraft improved on a fun casino game to make something truly great.
