Dragons and Magic slot review (Stakelogic)

Stakelogic is slowly, but surely, becoming a world-class online slots provider

The year 2020 is going very well for them, with Stakelogic releasing one top-notch slot after another.

Slots such as Rambo, The Expendables Megaways and Super Wild Megaways received rave reviews from us and did very well with the slot-loving online casino crowd.

With Dragons and Magic, Stakelogic ventures into the fantasy realm and introduces a sublime video slot packed with features, surprises and big wins.

They went all out with the design, and that resulted in a very immersive experience: the symbols that change, the fireballs and the magic – it’s a blast.

Big compliments to the creative and design team at Stakelogic.

Dragons and Magic gameplay and features

Dragons and Magic is played on a playing field of 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols. The win all ways mechanism is active: there are 243 ways to win.

You can bet from 20 cents up to $€ 20 per spin, but you can also opt for a Super Stake bet. This doubles the wager, but due to mystery features can result in very substantial payouts.

The theoretical payout rate is 96.50% – there’s nothing wrong with that.

According to the official Stakelogic website, the variance is high, and you can earn up to $€ 466,560. Assuming you wagered the standard maximum bet of $€ 20, that would result in just over 23,000 x the total bet. That is massive.

Super Stake Features

If you have activated the Super Stake, you can win the following features at any time during the game:

• The Mystical Dragon Eye feature: you get extra wilds or wilds with multipliers.
• The Dragon Fireball Feature: various symbols are changed into the same symbols, wilds or wild multipliers.

Symbols and payouts

The wilds replace all symbols except the scatters.

It is also smart to keep an eye on the dragons: these are the highest paying symbols. Five dragons earn you a prize of 12 x the total bet.

Other high symbols are the old wizard, the ring and the rabbit’s leg. These symbols award you between 3 x and 5 x the bet with five of the same dragons.

Finally, there are four magic potions, the low symbols. Spin a 5-of-a-kind of these colourful potions for prizes between 1.6 x and 2 x the bet.

Free spins bonus

The free spins bonus is a real treat. You now get the chance to create additional ways to win, and you can also earn other boosters.

It starts with spinning 3, 4 or 5 scatters in return for 10, 20 or 50 free spins, respectively. It is possible to retrigger the free spins; that’s always helpful.

During the free spins, it is essential to spin as many dragon eggs as possible.

Each dragon’s egg heightens the reel, on which it drops, by one position anyway. A reel can grow up to 6 positions high.

If you were able to have all five reels rise to the maximum height, the game offers 7.776 ways to win, and the payouts can be sky-high.

Moreover, the dragon eggs have an extra function.

As soon as you spin two or more eggs simultaneously, you land an extra feature.

Different amounts of eggs award different boosters:

• Two eggs yield one completely wild reel.
• Three eggs provide two reels with wilds.

Our verdict on Dragons and Magic

Hundreds of new slots are released every year, and the vast majority of them are decent to good.

Quality-wise, the Dragons and Magic slot is next-level: this slot ticks all the right boxes.

The design, the animations, the beautifully crafted theme, the extra features, everything works together like a dream.

As far as we are concerned, this slot deserves a bigger (blockbuster) audience, and we can only hope that Stakelogic will keep on making a lot more slots of this quality and beauty in the coming years.

A well-deserved 4 stars out of 5.
