Introduction
Dota was first previewed in the popular mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. It picked up so many fans that it was eventually developed into a standalone game, Dota 2, in 2013.
With beloved characters such as these, how will their foray into the world of online slots reflect their personalities and character traits? Who will be the one to lead you to fortune?
Will it be outlaw Pudge, famed for his subtle assassination abilities?
Or, vengeful spirit Shendelzare Silkwood, with her cool passive skills that are capable of inflicting ultimate damage on the treasured jackpot?
Maybe Traxex, also skilled at causing damage but equally adept at guarding against threats as you amass your fortune.
Faceless void DarkTerror may be your best wingman to date. Give him enough time and he can literally obliterate anything that stands in your way.
Developer SmartSoft has an established presence in the slot games market but also designs table games such as kino, poker, roulette and bingo. This should inform their approach differently, and in interesting ways, compared to other developers.
This game is free to play in demo mode and we recommend this to familiarize yourself before you decide to play for real at an online casino.
Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack
The characters are as detailed and impressive as you would expect, representing their much loved Warcraft origins. The dark, blue and purple tinged nightscape background adds to the general sense of mystery and power, evoking the true spirit of the original games.
The soundtrack is dramatic, as you’d expect. Nothing about Dota is for the fainthearted. Moments of rattling calm - well, as calm as it could possibly be - are soon superseded by majestic, deep strings.

Dota Bonus Features
20 Paylines
These are fixed, with the highest win per bet line paid out both ways with a minimum winning combination of three symbols in a row.
Wild Symbols
Nevermore can substitute for the following: Shendelzare Silkwood; Antimage; Rexxar; Traxex; Sven; Darkterror; Lich.
Bonus Games
You only need to hit three or more Bonus Symbols for the Bonus Games to begin. In the Bonus Game, Mirana will release a character by destroying the cells. If that character is a Mirana clan member you’ll receive a winning point and progress to the Super Bonus Game to play on and release the next character.
If Roshan is released from the cage, the bonus game ends but you’ll get to keep the points you won earlier. If you successfully open all five cells, the Super Bonus Game starts.
Super Bonus Game
If you reach the Super Bonus Game, you get to choose one of the two islands. The island with the Bounty Rune is the one to get!
Free Spins Round
You can activate a Free Spins round with 10 to 50 free spins if you land 3, 4 or 5 orc symbols. Remember, you can’t double your win while you’re in a free spin.
Risk Game
If you win in the main game, you can click or tap Bet Double to, well, try to double it. The dealer will lay a card and offer you four cards. Pick one to turn over, and if it’s higher than the dealer’s card, you’ll double your win. If it’s equal to the dealer’s card, your win will stay at the same amount. If the card you pick is lower than the dealer’s card, you’ll lose your win.
Our Verdict
The visual elements will bring you closer to the fantasy world of Warcraft with its humans, orcs and other supernatural creatures a typical cast for the action adventure slots. Of course, if you weren’t a fan of World of Warcraft then this will all be new to you, and may serve as an introduction to the games, or may put you off altogether if you’re not a fan of fantasy role playing games.
Overall, the gameplay is fairly standard, with the bonus elements adding a nice touch, but nothing groundbreaking.
Fans will find that their knowledge of the characters’ personalities and backstories adds limitless enjoyment as their imagination fantasises how the twists and turns of the game would actually play out in Azeroth. Unfortunately, without that prior commitment and added interpretation, the gameplay and features may fall a bit flat for non-Warfcrafters.
