For anyone with some experience playing Pragmatic Play slots, booting up Drago - Jewels of Fortune will surely offer a ♣ surprise or two. Visually, it looks strikingly different from their usual stuff, almost as if produced by a different studio ♣ altogether. After a line of somewhat mediocre games, this step up in quality is a welcomed one.
Drago - Jewels of ♣ Fortune is a fantasy slot that offers a couple of interesting features alongside impressive potential. There are dragons involved, but ♣ not Asian inspired as you might expect from this provider, but with more of a cartoonish touch. Drago also manages ♣ to keep the intrigue rolling due to its unusual reel formation and gameplay that can work well to generate some ♣ uncommonly large payouts - provided you aren’t incinerated by a mouthful of dragon fire.
The game takes place in a dimly ♣ lit cavern, littered with treasure while a dragon watches over his coins to the side. This purple dragon, presumably Drago, ♣ though it’s not made explicitly clear, sways like he’s under the influence of something. Then again, it would be creepy ♣ if he just stood, staring motionless at you. It’s a classic dragon sitting over his riches scene, capped with a ♣ powerful fantasy infused soundtrack adding extra atmosphere.
The game grid is an interesting one, made up of 5 reels, in a ♣ 5-4-4-4-5 configuration. The first and fifth reels possess an extra row, with a golden frame around each corner position. These ♣ special corner positions are the key to triggering the features - more on this later. Along with the larger than ♣ usual reel format is a larger than usual number of win ways. Winning combinations are formed of three or more ♣ matching symbols, from the first reel, left to right. Winning symbols can land in any row, which provides 1,600 ways ♣ to win, but are easy enough to follow along with.
The home screen brings up Pragmatic’s ever-helpful volatility meter that lets ♣ players know exactly what they are getting in to before pressing play. In Drago’s case, it scores 4.5/5 which might ♣ not be as volatile as it gets, but is still a high rating all the same. A figure that will ♣ find universal appeal is the default RTP, which at 96.5% is comfortably above average.
