Dragon Shard bonus features

Dragon Shard makes a pretty good first impression, we must say. We can see what looks to be a magical realm in the background and the symbols on the rather large reel set are rather beautifully made.

Aside from the low value royal suit symbols, we can spot fiery dragons, icy dragons, the eponymous Dragon Shard and the two protagonists – the Fire Queen and the Ice King. These two are the most valuable and they can both appear stacked over two symbol spaces or over 5 spaces. Landing 5 in combination will award the player 8 times their stake.

Wilds

The Dragon Shard acts as the Wild symbol and it can substitute for any other symbol except the Scatter. The Wild is also a paying symbol, awarding up to 20 times the total stake when 5 land in combination.

Mystery Symbols

This feature can help improve a player’s wins. When it lands on the reels, it will transform into a symbol at random. This could be a high value, low value or even a Wild symbol.

Win Booster feature

The player has the option to use the Win Booster feature when they first start playing. Without the Win Booster active, wins pay from left to right, though the Scatter continues to pay in any position.

With the Win Booster activated, the stake is doubled and wins are calculated both ways. Any Mystery Symbols that land will only change into Wilds or high value symbols.

The range of available bets changes depending on whether the Win Booster is active. In the base game, without the feature, bets can range from 0.05 per spin to 100 per spin. With the Win Booster, bets can be made between 0.10 and 200.

Dragon Shard Free Spins

The Scatter symbol triggers this feature when 3 or more land in any position on the reels. This activates 10 free spins, during which one or more of reels 2, 3 and 4 will be Mystery Reels, depending on how many Scatters activated the feature.

Mystery Reels contain only Mystery Symbols, which makes it easier to land wins. If the reels are filled with Wild symbols, the player will win 800 times their stake and this is possible on each free spins round.
