Developed by Microgaming and Stormcraft Studios, Dragon Shard is a fantasy-themed online slot that sees a Fire Queen and Ice King do battle with their loyal dragons.
The game offers 40 pay lines using a 5 x reel and 5 x row grid, which sits on a background of a magical realm that is full of ruins. The symbols on the reels are mainly those found on playing cards, such as hearts, spades, and clubs. There is also a diamond symbol, as well as ice dragons and fire dragons.
The most lucrative symbols are the Fire Queen and Ice King, which can appear stacked over two symbol spaces, or even five spaces. The Dragon Shard acts as the Wild symbol and will substitute any other symbol, apart from the Scatter.
If you can land three Scatter symbols it will trigger the free spins feature, which activates 10 x free spins. During this bonus one or more of reels 2, 3 and 4 will be Mystery Reels that contain Mystery Symbols that improve your chances of winning.
There is also a Win Booster feature, which players need to activate. This will see your stake doubled as wins will be calculated in both directions rather than from just left to right.
The graphics are very impressive, and a lot of credit must go to Microgaming and Stormcraft Studios who produced Dragon Shard. There is a thrilling atmosphere about this slot as we see the Fire Queen and Ice King do battle against each other and they use their powerful and loyal dragons to fight for your fortune.
The free spins can reward you with lucrative winnings, especially if the Mystery Symbols land kindly for you. The Win Booster feature is also an interesting concept and can help you win bigger wins. This game can be played on the go on a smartphone or tablet, or from the comfort of your own home on your laptop or PC.
