The Dragon Shard is a slot utilising a 5×5 grid and 40 paylines. Well, that’s not players’ most favourite setup, but we have what we have. The slot accepts bets as low as 0.05 and as high as £100 per spin. Design-wise, the Dragon Shard borrows from another Microgaming slot – Fortunium. The special features you will be able to take advantage of are the Win Bolster, Free symbols, and mystery symbols.
The Dragon Shard represents the battle between the Fire Queen and the Ice King over the possession of the Dragon Shard artifact.
Symbol-wise, you will land low-value playing cards. The Ice Dragon, the Ice King, the Fire Queen, and the Dragon Shard are the premium symbols.
The dragon shard logo is the wild that replaces all the other symbols except the scatter, to help you create winning combinations. A dragon eye is the scatter that triggers the free spins.
Mystery Symbol Feature
When a mystery symbol lands on the reels, it transforms into a randomly chosen low-value, premium or a wild symbol.
Win Bolster Feature
If you decide to use the Win Bolster option, the slot will pay both ways. The mystery symbols will reveal only premium symbols. However, your min bet will increase to 0.10- £200 per spin.
Free Spins
The free spins feature is triggered when you land at least 3 scatters in one spin. Depending on how many scatters you land (3, 4 or 5), you will be given 10 free spins + 1, 2 or 3 Mystery Reels, respectively. The mystery reels will contain mystery symbols only.
The scatter appears during the free spins feature, and every scatter you land grants you an extra free spin.
Bottom line
If you like fantasy-themed slots, you will like the Dragon Shard, too. It is one of the best Microgaming-branded products as of late. We are looking forward to seeing it live across all Microgaming casinos.
