Dragons Awakening slot review (Relax gaming)

Relax Gaming is making some serious noise. Not just with their Megaways slots, but with ‘normal’ slots, too

Game developer Relax Gaming managed to positively surprise us twice in a row with two great Megaways slots: Machina Megaways and Temple Tumble Megaways.

You could be forgiven that you almost forgot that they regularly release old-fashioned online video slots as well, with a fixed number of paylines and medium variance.

Our curiosity peaked when Dragons Awakening was released.

Dragons Awakening gameplay and features

Dragons Awakening is a beautiful slot that is all about 4 dragons and their fire-breathing adventures.

Dragons Awakening’s graphics are very well executed in any case: the dragons look magnificent, and the colours are wonderfully vibrant.

There are 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols, and you always play with 20 fixed paylines.

The minimum bet is a reasonable $€ 0.20 per spin, which will no doubt please the recreational players amongst us. The maximum bet is limited to $€ 100 per spin.

As far as variance goes, we estimate the variance of Dragons Awakening to be medium. The theoretical payout rate is 96.96%: excellent.

Symbols and payouts

Dragons Awakening is a fairly simple slot, even though it appears to be very busy.

The 4 premium symbols are the dragons. These pay between 6 x and 25 x the total bet with a 5-of-a-kind.

The 4 low symbols are the card symbols, hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs. Spin 5 of the same of these symbols on an active payline and you win between 3 x and 4 x the total bet.

The wild symbol is a fiery ‘W’ set on dragon scales and replaces all symbols except the scatters.

Free spin bonus

3, 4 or 5 scatters will earn you 5,10 or 15 scatters, respectively.

Before you start playing the free spin, all the lower value symbols (card symbols) will be replaced by the higher value dragons.

Which dragons will replace the low-value symbols is determined by spinning a kind of wheel.

4 dragon symbols are selected and what you want to spin is red dragons (they have the highest value) or two of the same dragons (for a better chance at winning combinations).

Dragons Rage Feature

The Dragons Rage Feature is a mini-feature whereby one dragon is chosen, and this dragon replaces random symbols. This will keep happening until a winning combination is produced.

Our verdict on the Dragons Awakening video slot?

Dragons Awakening by Relax Gaming is a nice game, but it is one of those typical slots where the theme and the gameplay have to suit you.

It looks pretty, has nice bonus features and will have some rewarding payouts every once in a while.

3.2 out of 5 stars.
