Dragon Pots Megaways

Dragon Pots Megaways: Slot Overview

Three pot slots continue to thunder through the online slot space, getting bigger, more ungainly, and more dominant by the day. Software provider Pragmatic Play has formed a particular fondness for this style and has cranked out a handful of these sorts of games, from the Asian-themed Triple Pot Gold to the spectral gaming of Great Ghosts! The studio has turned to new subject matter to make today's three pot slot, that of sword, sorcery, and adventuring, in order to bring its fantasy release Dragon Pots Megaways to life. In this game, players get the chance to trigger a bonus round with up to three active modifiers, while Big Time Gaming's popular Megaways engine takes care of the rest.

Dragon Pots Megaways is a fantasy slot of fire-breathing serpents, adventurers, magic weavers, all that sort of thing. The game has a classic Pragmatic Play glow to it, full of shiny, vibrant artwork and slick cut scene animations. It does, however, look a tad generic as well, and while the graphical standard is fine, there is nothing the game throws up on the screen that is especially distinctive. Put another way, the visuals do the job well enough but don't reach any sort of memorable heights. The fantasy theme is nicely done, but doesn't have much in the way of rich originality. Still, the overall presentation is smooth, so the experience is engaging enough even while lacking a unique visual hook.

Played on a Megaways grid, each of the 6 reels can land up to 7 symbols, producing up to 117,649 ways to win. A wide range of stakes is available, from $/€0.20 to $/€240 per spin, though this can be increased when using special bets to hasten the action along. Highly volatile, Dragon Pots Megaways is available in several RTP configurations, so be on the lookout for the 96.58% option, which is the highest return value.

The hierarchy of pay symbols includes 10-A card ranks, a couple of knightly adventurers, a wizard, a knight, and a dragon. When hitting a 6 OAK combination, players win 0.5x-1x for the royals or 1.5x-10x for the high pay symbols. Wilds are present on all reels and substitute for all symbols except the scatter. Wilds have the same payout value as the dragon when six of them form a winning way.

Dragon Pots Megaways: Slot Features

3 scatters can land on the reels, which get collected by the same coloured pots at the end of the spin. When scatters are collected, there is a random chance 10 free spins trigger with 1-3 modifiers active.

• Blue Scatter: Wild modifier feature, which adds 1-5 wild symbols to the reels on every spin.
• Green Scatter: Multi modifier feature, which applies a multiplier of x2-x10 to all wins on each spin.
• Gold Scatter: Bonus modifier feature, where wild symbols may have a money value of 2x-200x, which is awarded when they hit.

Modifiers that were not active at the start of the round can randomly be triggered during the round. When this happens, the applicable modifiers become active for the rest of the round and +5 free spins are granted.

Special Bets & Feature Buys

Activating the Ante Bet doubles the stake to make the chance of triggering free spins 3 times higher, while Super Spins costs 10x to have 1-3 modifiers activate on each base game spin, but free spins cannot trigger. The two buy options are free spins entry for 100x, where 1-3 modifiers are activated, or super free spins for 650x, which guarantees all 3 modifiers.

Dragon Pots Megaways: Slot Verdict

Dragon Pots Megaways was something of a middle of the road fantasy themed three pot slot. It is almost entirely built around its bonus round, since that's where modifiers can finally enter the fray and do something more than just tease when their linked scatters are collected. Unless gamblers choose to utilise Super Spin mode, though free spins are barred when playing this way, so let's put that to one side for now. Megaways brings a dash of randomness to the base game with the way it alters the number of symbols on each reel, but there's no cascading or tumbling mechanic, which noticeably dilutes the effect.

That puts the bulk of the thrill burden squarely onto the bonus round's shoulders, so hopefully, combinations of modifiers trigger when free spins do. The modifiers themselves are useful addons, but nothing out of the ordinary. Certainly nothing that hasn't popped up before in one way or another on numerous occasions. On a positive note, adding wilds to a Megaways grid gives the chance to connect a lot of winning ways, multis and Megaways go together like petrol and fire, and money symbols, well, they're handy to have in the pocket as well. As alluded to, there's nothing extraordinary, but the system is good for belching out fire-coated wins up to a 10,000x win cap.

To sum up, Dragon Pots Megaways was a pretty adequate Megaways-driven three-pot fantasy game. Megaways brings an extra big name quality, but opting not to pair it with cascades significantly lessens what the engine can do. What's here is fine for three pot fans, but Dragon Pots Megaways felt like the sort of Power Combo type stuff Games Global studios have already been releasing for years, Kings of Crystals, for example.
