Dwarf & Dragon (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

Dwarf & Dragon Slot Theme And Storyline

Dwarf & Dragon takes you into the dragon's lair and mine shaft. The red dragon looks friendly, lying passive and curled around the 5x4 grid. On the other side, the dwarf stands grinning, proudly holding his shimmering gemstone. The soundtrack is Oompa Loompa-esque, which fits the mining loop. I liked the amiable atmosphere at first glance, yet the overall vibe felt a bit lacklustre. Sparks are not exactly flying between the duo.

Dwarf & Dragon RTP, Volatility, And Max Win

Top RTP sits at 96.59%, with alternative settings of 95.54% and 94.53% in some configurations. Volatility is rated 5 out of 5, so dry spells can stretch. The max win lands at 14,000x your stake, though the cap is a long shot, with a hit rate noted at around 1 in 175,438,596 spins. Stakes run from 0.20 to 240 per spin, suiting most bankrolls. I treat this as a high-risk slot with strong peak potential.

Dwarf & Dragon Rules And Gameplay

You spin on 5 reels with 4 positions per reel, giving 1,024 ways to win. Wins pay left to right across 3 or more adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost. I played between 0.20 and 240 per spin without any friction. The Golden Dragon Egg wild appears on reels 2 to 4 and stands in for all regular symbols. The interface is familiar, and the tempo in the base game feels steady rather than frantic.

Split symbols matter here. Any paying symbol can land as a double, and if a split joins a win, the total for that line is multiplied by x2. That small kicker lifts many routine hits to something serviceable. I found the base game gives a decent taste of what the bonus offers as well, since the same mechanics stay in play. It is straight to the point, which suits a session where I want simple spins.

Dwarf & Dragon Symbols And Paytable

Low pays are the Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and Red gems. In five-of-a-kind lines these award up to 1.25x, 1.5x, 2.5x, 3x, and 4x the bet, respectively. The high pays are Map, Pickaxe, Dynamite, and Lantern, returning up to 5x, 7.5x, 10x, and 25x for five. Values scale for 3 and 4 of a kind in the usual way. All pays are based on the total bet and the 1,024 ways engine.

The Golden Dragon Egg wild shows on reels 2 to 4 and substitutes for any pay symbol. The Dragon Eye serves as the bonus scatter and can land on all reels to trigger free spins. A key quirk is the split symbol state. Any pay, including wilds, can arrive as a split, and when a split symbol helps to form a win, that line is doubled by x2. Scatters do not split.

Dwarf & Dragon Bonuses And Special Features

Split symbols and multiplier wilds drive both the base game and the feature. Wilds may land with x2, x3, x5, or x10, and if more than one joins the same win, their values add before applying. Split wilds can even carry a separate multiplier on each side, which leads to chunky totals when the ways line up. This mix can turn a modest line into something that actually matters when variance finally rolls your way.

Free spins trigger from 3, 4, or 5 scatters, awarding 10, 15, or 20 spins. During the feature, landing 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatters adds 3, 10, 15, or 25 spins. The paytable does not flag any extra rules for the round. In practice, I did see more split symbols and multiplier wilds, though that is not stated anywhere. Either way, the same core set delivers the damage, so streaks can still swing hard.

A bonus buy option is present for eligible players at 100x the bet. It drops 3 or more scatters on the next spin and fires the round right away. The bonus buy RTP is listed at 96.55%. Given the lack of stated extras in the feature, I treat the buy as a situational call rather than a must-click. When multipliers stack and a few splits show, the ceiling arrives in a hurry.

Dwarf & Dragon Review Summary And Verdict

Dwarf & Dragon gave me an enjoyable session, but it stops short of a knockout. The glossy presentation lands, the dwarf and dragon duo is charming, and the maths feels well balanced for a high-volatility game. The head-scratcher is how the free spins do not add anything beyond what you already see, which makes the buy a ponderous pick. Still, with split x2 symbols, additive wild multipliers, and 1,024 ways, 14,000x wins are on the table.
