Dragon Drop

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 13 January 2025

Dragon Drop takes fantasy dragons to a new level as they flap around with chubby bellies and an inquisitive look on their faces. This fun animated five reel, 25 payline slot by NextGen doesn’t take things too seriously. Still, it does have features, including multipliers, free spins, sticky wilds and a 5,000x jackpot amidst its medieval theme.

Theme

We are taken on a medieval journey to a tulip-filled field where dragons flap in the air. The soundtrack for this fantasy game isn’t quite in keeping with the theme, but it’s fun nonetheless, and the graphics are bright and sharp. The logos include a knight, castle, sheep, treasure chest, letters, and numbers.

How to Play

The treasure chest is the symbol to look out for, as five on a payline awards the 5,000x jackpot. Landing three eggs triggers the Sticky Dragon feature, where dropping dragons creates wild symbols.

Dropping Dragons

Three dragons flapping above the second, third and fourth reels can drop anytime. This adds a wild which substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. If the dragon is included in winning paylines, their values are doubled.

Sticky Dragon

The Dragon Drop Sticky Dragons feature is triggered by landing three eggs. You’ll receive eight free spins, and any winnings from the free spins will be doubled. Dragons can also drop during the free spins, and all wilds created lock in place until the free spins end. If more than one dragon drops, you can win up to 1,844x. Unfortunately, there isn’t a chance to retrigger the free spins.

Dragon Fun

Stakes vary between 25p and £50 per spin. Although the features are thin on the ground, the sticky wilds help with bigger wins. Combining the free spins and sticky wilds, you’ll win your own treasure chest of coins.
