Dragon's Fire slot review

Dragon's Fire slot in 60 seconds

Dragon's Fire comes from Red Tiger, a studio founded in 2014 that NetEnt bought in September 2019 for an initial £200m and which has been part of Evolution since December 2020. Red Tiger is best known for daily drop jackpots and Megaways remakes, but this is a straightforward line slot with a twist.

The twist is the Dragon's Egg multiplier next to the reels. It climbs as wins keep coming, so a run of consecutive wins pays more and more. Add random wild-making Fire Blasts and a free spins round where the multiplier holds its level, and you have a game where much of the excitement comes from streaks.

How the features work

Main feature: the Dragon's Egg multiplier. A multiplier sits beside the reels. Each time you win on consecutive spins it rises, which increases what your next win pays. A random feature called the Dragon's Eye Boost can push it higher still.

Fire Blast. At random, the dragon breathes fire across the reels and turns symbols into wilds or free spins symbols. Extra wilds help complete lines across the 40 paylines; extra free spins symbols can bring the bonus round closer.

Free spins. Three or more scatters trigger free spins. You pick a dragon to reveal how many spins you get. In this round the multiplier does not reset after a losing spin, so it can keep building across the whole round instead of depending on an unbroken streak.

That last point is the heart of the game's volatility. A free spins round that builds the multiplier early can pay far more than one where it stays low, and you can't influence which happens: the dragon you pick only reveals a spin count.

Multiplier steps, the Dragon's Eye Boost amounts and free spin ranges are listed in the game's help screen. This page sticks to the mechanics confirmed in published specifications.

Does a rising multiplier mean a win is due?

No. A climbing Dragon's Egg makes your next win worth more, but it does nothing to make that win more likely. Every spin is decided independently by the game's random number generator, so a long streak isn't 'due' to continue or to end.

This matters because streak features can tempt players to raise their stake while the multiplier is high. That doesn't change the RTP, and it increases how much you lose if the streak ends on the next spin, which it may well do. Our RNG glossary entry and the question do casino apps rig games? explain how outcomes are generated and tested.

Dragon's Fire RTP and stakes in pounds

At a 95.25% RTP, standard game maths gives an expected loss of £4.75 per £100 staked. The table shows how a £20 budget and the 10,000x ceiling play out at common stakes.

The expected loss column is the same in every row because it depends only on the total staked: £20 × 4.75%. What changes is how much luck dominates. Four spins at £5 leaves the result to a handful of outcomes; 200 spins at 10p gives the multiplier and the free spins far more chances to appear.

At the fastest pace UK rules allow (1,440 spins an hour at 2.5 seconds each), 10p spins add up to £144 staked and about £6.84 expected loss an hour. Check the RTP in your app's help screen too; our guide on finding a game's RTP shows where it's usually kept.

Dragon's Fire on a phone: 40 lines on a 5×4 grid

A 5 × 4 grid with 40 paylines is a comfortable size for a phone, with fewer, larger symbols than cluster or Megaways games. The multiplier display beside the reels is the one element to keep an eye on, since it tells you what a win is currently worth.

The game runs inside casino apps and mobile browsers on iPhone and Android. If you're unsure whether to use the app or a browser, our comparison of casino apps vs mobile sites sets out the differences, and the Samsung Galaxy page covers Android-specific settings.
