Draconia Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Game Theme & Storyline

Back in the 1970s, everyone played Dungeons and Dragons and this R Franco Free Slots game is a tribute to the fantasy role-playing game that took the world by storm. Players love fantasy-themed slots for their awesome graphics, but this game has more of a fairytale appeal, thanks to the cartoon-style symbols on the reels.

In this slot, you’ll play with your trusty longbow and lucky arrow, heading off in pursuit of the red, blue and yellow dragons who trigger the free spins round. But watch out for the wild witch and her bubbling cauldron, because she might just turn you into a grumpy old green dragon before you know it.

Graphics & Sound

This is definitely old school gaming and if you’re a fan of cutting edge video slots, you may want to steer clear. But there’s something charming about this lo-fi slot with its bright colours and hand-drawn symbols that evoke a gentler time. There are also some cute animations whenever 3 or more symbols combine for a win, so the bow and arrow shoots and the witch stirs her steaming cauldron. Other symbols include shields, knights, dragons and castles - no doubt with dungeons waiting for the intrepid.

The soundtrack is a cinematic romp of a tune and as the reels land, they do so with a perceptible bounce. Any settings button emits a delightful parp when you press. Best of all, when you spin, the reels are filled with stardust which gives a rather beautiful and hypnotic effect.

How to Play

In the best tradition of simple pick up and play slots, Draconia presents players with a straightforward interface that makes setup a breeze. There isn’t much in the way of personalisation, but you’ll soon be spinning with between 10 and 100 autospins.

There are 12 paytable symbols in this slot, half of which are royals between 9 and A. All pays are in multipliers, so the high paytable symbols offer prizes up to 25x your stake for 5 of a kind green dragons. Look out for the scatter knights who pay a one off prize of 4x your stake when 3 appear anywhere on the reels and the witch wild who stands in for every other symbol except the knight to create new winning combos.

You can choose to play any number of lines between 1 and 40 to suit your budget. But be aware that only winning combos that land on an activated payline will pay out a prize.

Bet Sizes & Maximum Win

There’s quite a lot of flexibility in the stakes available for Draconia and you can adjust them by playing around with the denomination values which range from 0.01 to 1.00 and the bet per line values of between 0.40 and and 2.00, giving a potential bet range of between 2.00 and 4,000.00 per spin. There’s something for every style of player, although the only way to play some truly bargain spins is to reduce the number of activated paylines.

The maximum win is a 100,000 credits payout in the free spins round, but unfortunately, your chances of landing such a prize are frustratingly low.

Bonus Features

As a simple pick up and play slot, Draconia doesn’t offer much in the way of bonus features. There’s a small 4x multiplier prize when you land three knight symbols anywhere on reels 1, 2 and 3, but the highest potential can be found in the free spins.

Free spins bonus: You’re looking to land the red, blue and yellow dragon symbols anywhere on reels 1, 2 and 3. You’ll then play 15 free spins at the triggering line bet.

Stacked wilds: The witch symbol appears as a stacked wild, increasing the potential to create new winning combos across multiple paylines.

Gamble feature: If you want to boost your bankroll further, you can opt for the simple double or quits gamble feature. Match the card you’re shown and you’ll double your prize. Fail and you leave the gamble game with nothing.

RTP & Volatility

The RTP on offer in Draconia is a slightly above average 95.98%, but beware of assuming this figure is a guarantee of the payout ratio you can expect from this game. For most players, their personal RTP is wildly divergent, and this figure represents a statistical possibility over the long term, so should be treated with caution.

This is a low to medium volatility slot, so you can expect the majority of your wins to come from low value base game symbols, rather than the free spins feature.

Our Verdict

What can you say about a game like Draconia? Even compared to other R Franco slots like the fantasy themed Game of Chronos, the visuals are rudimentary at best. And yet there’s a real charm about this slot and the simplicity is sure to suit players who like the potential of a decent return even though landing the single free spins bonus feature is as difficult as ever.

Other Games You Might Like

If you like your fantasy slots with a cute retro and lo-fi quality, then Draconia really fits the bill. But if you crave some cutting edge graphics and bonus action galore, then Microgaming’s Dragon’s Myth and Thunderstruck II should provide a more satisfying playing experience.

We also recommend the beautiful Pixies of the Forest with its Tumbling Reels and free spins.
