Dragon’s Breath is an upcoming slot designed through a collaboration between Rabcat and Microgaming. Central to the game is a legendary Dragon protecting his hordes of treasure, it comes with the Cluster Pays mechanic, wilds, free spins, burning wilds, and a top prize of 1,200x the total bet.

About Dragon’s Breath

Played on 5×5 reels, it’s available to play on desktop and mobile devices from 20p up to £200 per spin. Dragon’s Breath is a medium variance slot with an RTP of 96.06%, you’ll not win a fortune but nevertheless, it’s still worth a few spins.In terms of design, Dragon’s Breath is one of the finest I’ve seen in a while. Mountains and trees occupy the background creating a serene atmosphere. A huge red and gold scaly Dragon sits at the back of the reels guarding his treasure. The reels are occupied by coloured gems, and parts of the Dragon like its head and claws, gold coins, crowns, emeralds, and the game logo.

Gameplay

As I mentioned above the Cluster Pays mechanic is utilised in Dragon’s Breath, a cluster of 5 or more matching symbols creates a win.After winning two clusters of 5 or more the Double Flames bonus activates. One spin is awarded and reels 2 and 3 are cloned, hopefully increasing your winning potential.Three winning clusters of 5 or more trigger the Triple Flame bonus, again, a spin is awarded but reels 2, 3, and 4 are cloned. Both the Double and the Triple Flame bonus cannot be retriggered.3 or more scatters awards a set of free spins. During the spins, the Dragon hovers over the reels breathing fire onto the reels. The fire creates burning wilds randomly on the reels. The Dragon continues breathing fire on every other spin, adding, or removing wilds. Land 3 or more scatters to retrigger the feature and gain more free spins.

Verdict

Dragon’s Breath is an exceptional slot in terms of design, theme, and gameplay. Guarding his treasure, the sedate Dragon comes to life breathing fire onto the reels awarding bigger winning potential. It’s not the most lucrative in terms of win potential but overall an excellent addition to this slot genre.
