Dragon's Myth Slot Machine

This slot includes all of the key elements which make Rabcat slots must-play games these days. There are 3D animations (some of these are amazing quality); a progressive element – in this case it involves catching different types of dragon – and a free spin bonus round. Like many Rabcat slots there is an element of ‘cuteness’. This is the hatching of dragons from scaled eggs when the playing cards make up a win. This is balanced by some sinister dragons, the in-reel pop-out animations show these as you make up winning combinations with them.

Your ‘host’ for this game is a lady sporting a pair of furry boots and a horned hat. She looks more like a young girl than a bona-fide dragon slayer. She is 3D and will react to your wins, for example by jumping for joy or dancing. The whole slot is set on a mountaintop. The symbols are exceptional in their drawing and detail. Best are the 4 different types of dragon, though the scaled playing card symbols are also well produced. Small animations of dragons hatching are complemented by full screen ones of the different dragons. Music is similar to a film score, with swelling classical tunes with peaks when you win big.

The free spins game has an extra feature of being able to win from both directions, and has a bonus within a bonus if with a newly introduced symbol. In addition there is a special square on the bottom right position on the reels with a cage around it. Once you catch all 4 of the different dragons in this, you get a very welcome bonus payment.

Fully Customizable

There are 20 winning lines for this game (this is selectable) with the standard 5x3 grid that Rabcat favour for their games. You can bet from just 1c a line, or 20c per spin. The maximum spin amount is $40 ($2 per line). Auto-play, which includes the very speedy ‘fast gameplay’ option, is available. You can gamble your wins on the flip of a playing card if you wish.

Blue dragons have the biggest prize attached. This will pay 100 times your bet for 5 on a line, with 20x for 4. The green, beige and red dragons have the next biggest prizes. Most of the symbols you will see are the playing cards ace down to jack; these each have smaller payments attached. The wild symbol is the same lady at the side of the game. She will substitute for any of the regular symbols – though not the free spins, or special bonus symbols found during the free spins game.

Free spins symbol have the words ‘Free Spins’ written on them. You need 3+ for the bonus game. 3 gets your 10 spins, 4 15 spins and 5 gets you 20 spins.

Fiery Bonuses

There are 3 features, the free spins – the dragon’s cave within the free spins and then the progressive Dragon Bounty game.

The free spins starts simply enough, this runs fast and the key change is that you win from both sides of the reels and not just from left to right. Only the biggest win on any one line will pay if there is a clash. What you want to see here is the new ‘Bonus’ symbol, which will take you to a pick-em game which leads to fixed wilds (more commonly known as sticky wilds).

First up, you shoot arrows at targets. Every successful hit gives you 3 more free spins, and also a sticky wild which stays in place for the remainder of your spins. This can lead to some significant wins, especially those times you get 3 or 4 of them.

Rabcat slots often have games which encourage you to keep playing with a progressive element. The special ‘cage’ symbol on the bottom right corner of the reels catches dragons in this game. When you catch one it lights up a band with its colour around the spin button. You need all 4 colours to unlock the ‘dragon bounty’ which accumulates as you play.

Get Your Claws into Dragon's Myth

Excellent 3D graphics are the stand-out feature in this game. Not only is the frame and lady hosting the game nicely put together, the sequences with the dragons are excellent too. The classical music works well with the game, adding intensity at exactly the right times.

I like the progressive bonus concept, though sometimes wonder whether these ‘hooks’ would keep me playing longer than planned – for example if I already had 3 trapped dragons and just needed 1 more. The free spins sub-game is the feature you really want to hit in this game. Combining regular wilds with sticky wilds is a recipe for some big wins. All-in-all an excellent slot and unique take on the dragons concept, and a game worth checking out. Fancy playing it for real money?
