Dragon's Siege - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

With 5 reels, 20 paylines and a magnificent mythical creature for you to slay. Dragon’s Siege is a dramatic offering from Qora that’s full of fire and metal. The Age of Dragons slot was a bit quirkier in its design, but Dragon’s Siege is a solid game made more exciting by its layered free spins round and a progressive jackpot.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

For lovers of fantasy, there’s nothing quite as dramatic as the sight of a magnificent Medieval castle being besieged by a mighty dragon. Dragon’s Siege taps straight into that thrilling feeling, the castle in question standing tall in the background but overshadowed by the bloody, fiery red sky. Most dominant are two statues, one on either side of the reels. First are the perfectly carved warrior and steed, an incredible amount of detail depicted in the ornate armour and billowing of the horse’s mane. On the other side is their foe, the dragon, who is equally elaborate with its lifelike scales, a red glow in its eyes and menacing grin showing its teeth. There’s plenty of detail in the symbols on the reels as well, from metallic, jewelled card symbols to human and animals characters. Even more atmosphere is created by the melodic and sweeping soundtrack.

Dragon's Siege RTP and Variance

When you’re playing in the best slot casinos, it’s important to know exactly what you’re risking and what you’re winning because it’s your money on the line. There’s slightly less danger when you play a free demo on Slots Temple as all the money is virtual, but it’s still a chance to learn good budgeting habits. We say this because Dragon’s Siege doesn’t have official RTP or variance information. That means the only way to set expectations and learn the game is by playing for free.

How to Play Dragon’s Siege

Are you ready for war?

1. We know it’s not easy to slay a dragon. You need to know what you’re doing before you start, which means looking at the game rules and paytable. You’ll find them behind the menu button, on the left and above the warrior’s head.
2. Here you’ll also find the settings. They’re pretty comprehensive, including separate toggles for sound effects and background music, on/off switches for Quick Spin and using the space bar to spin and stop. You can also choose low, medium or high-quality graphics depending on what suits your device.
3. Let’s head back to the main screen. On the far right, you have a full-screen button, along with links to exit and the homepage. 
4. At the bottom of the screen, you have displays for current balance and most recent win. That allows you to keep track of whether you’re sticking to your loss and single win limits. The game’s more fun when it’s under control and you’re playing responsibly.
5. Now check out the buttons on the right, overlapping the dragon. One is for bet. Click it and you’ll be presented with all possible bet amounts for you to choose between, depending on your budget and tolerance of risk.
6. The topmost button opens autoplay options, although they’re limited. You can choose a number of automatic spins, ranging from t10 to infinity, but you can’t make sure it stops at your loss and single win limits, or on triggering a feature.
7. The best way to stay in control is to take spins one at a time, even if that can be a little less convenient and possibly a little more annoying. That means clicking the big central button.

Bet & Win Sizes

When you open your bet options, it offers you a minimum of 0.20 and a maximum of 200.00, which is a fairly wide spread.

Card symbols win from three or more matches, while picture symbols win from two or more. The maximum five matches pay as follows:

9, 10 - 100

J, Q - 250

K, A - 500

Castle, Horse - 1000

Prince - 1500

Dragon - 2000

Eye of the Dragon Scatter - 100

The bridge symbol on the first reel doubles your bet amount every time it features in a winning payline.

Dragon’s Siege Bonus Features

Free Spins

If you’re lucky enough to break this siege by finding the bridge on the first reel and gate on the fifth, you can trigger the free spins round. First, you have to pick a character; then, you are awarded up to 25 free spins.

This isn’t just any free spins round, though. It comes with a multiplier, starting at x1 and increasing to as much as x10 with every new bridge or gate symbol you find. During the round, both of these symbols act as additional wilds alongside the princess icon.

Progressive Jackpot

This is triggered randomly and can appear at the end of any game, but you can add it to the rest of your wins to dramatically increase your pot if you’re lucky.

Dragon's Siege Review

We’ve played a few Qora demo slots, and Dragon’s Siege is a worthy addition. Dramatic graphics and storytelling immerse you in a world that’s exciting even before you start triggering the surprisingly complex bonus features. It mostly makes up for the lack of RTP information.
