A bright and colourful casino game, this Microgaming Dragonz mobile slot offers you 4 types of free spins and up to 107,500 max win.
The latest Microgaming slots reviews we’ve written have actually been surprisingly positive, as the big software provider is on a roll with likes of the Lost Vegas slot and the Jungle Jim El Dorado game setting the bar high.
Unfortunately, this Dragonz slot though doesn’t quite compare.
Not that it’s a bad game, because it’s not. The graphics are beautiful, and the Dragons themselves look like they’ve been taken straight out of the How To Train My Dragon series.
The lower paying generic A – 9 symbols familiar, familiar in so many of Microgaming’s games, is a little disappointing, but not surprising.
How much you’ll like this Dragonz slot game will depend on how you feel about the 4 different types of free spin bonus features, each one with a different type of wild symbol, and how patient you are.
We love slots with free spins. There’s no denying that if done right, they bring a thrill to playing slot machines that get’s the heart racing and puts a smile on your face.
So with the addition of four free spins bonus games, this Dragonz slot on mobile has a lot to offer as each of the Dragons, Flint, Switch, Frost and Gobble offer you a new way to win across these 243 ways to win reels.
You’ll get frosty wilds, winning wilds, flaming wilds, and stashed wilds all there to make your game play more exciting (as we explain in the feature section below).
The problem comes when you realise that you have no choice in which of these bonus features you get, that is until you’ve hit the free spins bonus games 12 times.
Which in and of itself isn’t a problem, as games like Thunderstruck II work on similar mechanics.
But whilst there you gradually uncover the bonus game features, here it feels like you have to play for hours and hours before you get any choice at all.
Granted, you get to experience all the Dragons slot bonus games by the time you unlock your choice, but if you last till then, your a more patient person than us.
The only other feature you’ll find in this mythical creature based slot is the Wild Deal feature. It allows this medium variance slot game to guarantee you a win on any non winning spin.
If you have a wild on reel 3, and haven’t been lucky enough to get a win, you’ll get extra wilds dealt on to the other reels to create a guaranteed win.
It’s a fun little feature, which comes in handy as you wait to get a choice in your free spins. Meanwhile, you better pray those Dragonz feel generous to last that long.

Wilds: The bright orange wild symbol is wild and replaces all other symbols except scatters.
Scatters: The purple jewel symbol is the scatter, and pays when 2 or more symbols are on the reels, it also triggers the free spin games when you find 3 or more.
Dragonz Free Spins: There are 4 different types which are triggered randomly when you get 3 or more scatters.
That is, until you've hit 12 bonus games, at which point you'll be able to choose from any of the four:
Our favourite? Frost and Switch, though Gobble is pretty good for walking away with a little extra each time.
Wild Deal Feature: On a non winning spin, if there's a wild symbol on reel 3, it will deal out more wilds across the other reels to guarantee a winning combination.
The Dragonz mobile slot machine is fun and simple to play, and that's what we like to see in any good casino slot.
The free spins add variation and mystery to the game even if you won't win big often, or at least not until you get to choose which of the free spin features you get to play.
The minimum bet being 0.40 per spin might put those with smaller slot gaming budgets off, but for fans of 243 ways to win Microgaming games this won't come as too much of a shock.
Overall if you're a fan of Dragons then you'll enjoy a few spins here.
But if you're looking for something with a little more action, you can always try the Double Dragons slot by Yggdrasil or the colourful Dragon Shrine from Quickspin.
