Dragon's Breath Review
The biggest feat in old myths is defeating a huge beast often in the form of a dragon. With Dragon's Breath, you are given the chance to become your own hero and reclaim all the stolen riches from the dragon. Developed by Rabcat for Microgaming, this mythical slot plays on a grid of 5x5 with a Cluster Pays mechanic.
This medium volatility slot has a solid RTP of 96.06% and a multitude of features to help you win glorious amounts. So take on the dragon and see if you remain victorious.
Design
The background features a ferocious dragon with red and gold scales and huge claws. In the distance, there are just mountains and trees to display a peaceful nature about to be torn up by this terrifying dragon.
Amazingly, the symbols on the reels are traditional gems but also body parts of the dragon that build up to form the full picture of the dragon which is a cool little detail. During free spins, you are taken into the dragons' lair filled with gold that you can win!
As for the music, it's nothing too spectacular but befitting for this slot with a violin score mixed with drums. It's slightly unnerving but builds up suspense for the dragon. The only disappointing thing about this slot is the fact that the dragon isn't animated in the base game making the slot feel a little lifeless.
Gameplay
Dragon's Breath uses the Cluster Pays system which basically means that you match up symbols of 5 or more instead of matching up paylines. It's easy to follow and perfect for players who want something non-traditional.
All of the menus can be found at the bottom of the screen with the spin button in the middle and the bet level and autospin buttons underneath. Further menus can be found to the right of the reels in a drop-down menu with settings such as a sound and the paytable.
Win Potential
This slot is a medium volatility slot with a solid RTP of 96.06% which is just over the average standard of 96% but barely. As for the maximum payout, you can expect a mediocre amount of 1,250x your stake - but there is the possibility to bet up to 200.00 which will lead to some incredible wins if you are betting high.
Thankfully, we found that the free spins were triggered fairly easily and that we encounter many of the features quite often - but this may not be the case for everyone.
Our Verdict
In principle, Dragon's Breath is a fantastic slot with loads of engaging features and gameplay mechanics that are thoroughly entertaining to play. However, the win potential sadly lets down the slot as the maximum payout is a little too low for our liking and it'll only be made worth it if you bet high - which isn't for everyone.
Despite this issue, the Cluster Pays mechanic combined with the features is a wonderful merger that makes for tremendous gameplay. If you love mythical slots or Cluster Pays, then it's a no brainer to try out Dragon's Breath.
