The Dragon’s Axe Slot Features

There are 10 regular symbols and a range of bonus ones in Dragon’s Axe. High-value regular symbols consist of a dragon, a dragon’s eye, dragon eggs, armour, and a bow with a quiver, symbols with low value include A-10 royals. To secure a win in this game, you will have to drop at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost one.

The paytable of Dragon’s Axe is dynamic, it changes based on your current bet, for example, you will be awarded from £1 to £20 per 6-of-a-kind win if you bet £1 per spin.

You will only be able to profit from Wilds and the Gamble feature during the base game of Dragon’s Axe. The wild in this game is depicted as a Viking and it can stand in for any other symbol, besides the scatter, and you can only drop wilds on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. You will be able to multiply each win you score via the Gamble feature, you will have to pick either a red or a black card and if you guessed correctly, you will double your win and if not you walk away with nothing.

You will trigger the Dragon’s Axe Re-Spins feature when the bonus symbol with 2 axes appears on top of any closed shield, some shields will then be randomly destroyed and remain in that state for 1 spin and 1 re-spin.

The Free Spins mode will be activated when you drop 3 scatters anywhere on reels 1, 3, and 5 per spin, you will then be awarded 10 free spins, keep in mind, that you will not be able to retrigger this bonus. The scatter is depicted as a Viking’s axe in the base game, and as a Dragon’s Axe during the Free Spins mode. You can collect up to 9 axes during the Free Spins mode and each collected axe is equivalent to 1 destroyed shield in the base game until you trigger this bonus again or the Dragon’s Axe Re-Spins feature.

You can also drop stacked wilds during the Free Spins mode, each stacked wild can cover from 2 to 4 positions of the reel.

Review recap

Dragon’s Axe is a quite decent slot both technically and visually. The visuals look fantastic and they help to recreate the harsh and cold environment of the Viking lifestyle. The technical balance is pretty fair, 3 great bonus features work well alongside solid average RTP value. The only “downside” of this slot can be considered the fact, that you have to trigger the Free Spins mode and collect 9 axes if you want to play on the fully opened grid. Overall, you should consider giving Dragon’s Axe a try, the game looks fantastic and has a fairly decent balance, and the game mechanics are quite intuitive, which means you will not have to spend too much time figuring them out.
