Mystic Dragon seems to be a classic medieval fairy tale, involving dragons, knights, princesses and treasures. This RTG slot seems to have it all, plus it’s designed to look Medieval and is quite attractive. The dragon theme and the treasure it guards seems to be a popular theme, maybe because of the story from The Hobbit books written by Tolkien. Either way, the Medieval theme used here will give you plenty of reasons to play, helped in great part by its prizes and features.
Speaking of its features, this 25 line game has the usual 5 reels, plus a number of symbols with special roles (scatters and wilds), which will trigger for you both multipliers and free games. A big part of the slot’s attraction is the $100,000 jackpot that is available. The secondary random progressive prize offered is worth considerably less than what the game has in store for you.
Features of Mystic Dragon
There are a couple of things that are quite impressive about the features of this game, even though they’re pretty much the ones you would expect. Both the wild and the scatter go one step further than the competition’s feature symbols, offering either very high prizes or big multipliers.
In the case of the Dragon wild, you will discover that it doesn’t start out that great. The wild is limited to three reels, so it appears on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. On the other hand, it can substitute for other symbols and each wild has its own 2x multiplier. Get multiple wilds to contribute to the same combo, and you will find that all the multipliers are considered, not just one. When all three Dragon symbols are in the same combo, you will take advantage of a multiplier at 8x, which is how you can get the $100,000 of the top jackpot (it’s only $12,500 otherwise).
The Volcano scatter symbol is another special part of the game, mainly because of the prize offered when all five are on the screen. Get five symbols with a Volcano on them to appear on the five reels, in any position, and you will be rewarded with a cash prize, a 500x multiplier of the round’s total bet (up to $62,500).
Free Games Feature
But wait, there’s more! The same scatter symbols that give out prizes, will also trigger a number of free spins. 7 rounds are offered for three scatter symbols, 15 rounds for four scatters and an incredible 100 spins for all five scatters. On top of that, you get a 2x multiplier during free spins and you can retrigger the feature.
Betting options and jackpots
A game from RTG that offers 25 lines, Mystic Dragon requires the player to make a 25 coin investment per spin, if he wants to make sure that all the lines are covered. From there, you can adjust the denomination of each coin, which will give you the desired bet size. The range, when all the coins are selected, is between $0.25 and $125, using denominations of up to $5.
Things get really interesting when it comes to the slot’s prizes though, which has 20,000 coins advertised on the paytable, with a total value of up to $100,000. Since the RTG guys were clearly feeling generous when they designed this slot, it’s no surprise that there is a progressive jackpot offered as well.
Design and symbols
The design has its pros and cons, but overall is attractive and can stand shoulder to shoulder with any other title that has a medieval or dragon theme. The quality of the symbols is there, the background image is majestic and gives you a good idea where the action is taking place, but there are a lot of playing card icons in the game and they don’t help at all.
Symbols: Dragon (wild), Volcano (scatter, 500x the bet), Knight (2,500x), Princess (1,500x), Castle (1,000x), Treasure Chest (300x), Paper Scroll (300x), Ace (150x), King (150x), Queen (150x), Jack (100x), Ten (100x) and Nine (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
You will find that the game does very well in most areas, especially if you happen to get multiple wild symbols with multipliers contributing to your combinations. The graphics and the potential payouts are very good, as are the features included in Mystic Dragon.
The Mystic Dragon slot machine is offered through the RTG platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
