Dragon’s Flame Slot: Review

Moody, gothic and downright eerie – Reel Time Gaming’s classic Dragon’s Flame returns once again, now delivered by UK developer Blueprint Gaming. This 5×3, 10-payline slot keeps things minimal with just one feature: the Dragon Re-spins, where instant prizes can reach up to 1000 times your stake. True to many RTG-style titles, it’s old-school, no-nonsense and volatile, with almost all of the RTP concentrated into that single feature. When you play, it genuinely feels like stepping back onto the velvet floors of a land-based casino. With stakes ranging from 10 cents all the way up to 250€ per spin on all devices, this high-volatility game can be a real ride.

On the visual side, it mirrors the original in every detail. Built from an old FOBT machine, it has kept its retro presentation, which is a big part of the appeal for a slot like this. Set against gothic stonework, the reels feature 9, 10, J, Q, K and A royals, alongside higher-paying goblets, sceptres, king’s crowns and diamonds. Diamonds sit at the top, paying 100 times your stake for 5 on a payline. The Dragon acts as the wild and substitutes for all symbols.

Dragon’s Flame Slot: Features

Dragon’s Flame revolves entirely around the Dragon wild. It can land only on reels 1, 3 and 5, and it doesn’t show up often. When it does appear, the Dragon wild expands to cover the entire reel, and it also triggers a re-spin while staying locked in place. This is the Dragon Re-spin feature.

Once the re-spin begins, all standard symbols become stacked on the reels and link up adjacently, allowing wins to form across the 3 middle reels. The top payout of 1000 times your stake is achieved by hitting all 3 dragon wilds along with 2 full stacks of diamonds on the other two reels. And that’s essentially the whole game.

Dragon’s Flame Slot: Final Verdict

If you enjoy retro-style slots from providers like Merkur and Novomatic, you’ll almost certainly get a kick out of Dragon’s Flame. For newer players, it’s worth understanding that games like this tend to be very binary and can be pretty ruthless, draining your balance fast without mercy. It’s not a great pick for the faint-hearted or anyone prone to slipping into tilt mode. If the dragon wilds don’t show up now and then, you’re in trouble. Landing more than 1 dragon is extremely uncommon, but when it happens, the upside can be excellent, particularly if the hits start chaining together.

Dragon’s Flame is deliberately simple for anyone wanting a break from modern, feature-packed slots. It may not be our top choice since there are stronger old-school options from Merkur and Novomatic with higher payouts, but we’ll still take a few shots with some larger spins whenever we feel like chasing the dragon.
