Yggdrasil Gaming Announces New Draglings Slot
Malta based gaming developer Yggdrasil Gaming have announced the latest title in their growing collection of online slots – Draglings.
The game borrows its theme from the recent upsurge in the interest of all things medieval and fantastical, no doubt helped out by the TV show Game of Thrones and The Hobbit series of films.
This up-spike in fantasy themes in popular culture has been spilling into the world of online slots as well, as seen with the likes of the recent Castle Siege slot by WinADay online casino.
The game also signals Yggdrasil’s continuing progression into online slots, with Draglings marking their 9th title so far since they began developing slots a year ago.
Theme
The game takes place inside a cave like environment, with the basic slots symbols being dragon eggs of different sizes as well as small dragons and fireballs.
The soundtrack to the game is mildly suspenseful while containing the soft murmurings of baby dragons, which escalates whenever the player has a change of fortune for the better.
Should the player strike certain advantageous combination, a variety of animations are possible, including small dragons flying around the screen and a large dragon which appears in the middle of the reels as a symbol of the players success.
Gameplay
Draglings is a 5 reel slot which features 20 + 20 paylines; a Coin Value which can be set between $0.005 and $1.0; and offers the players the chance to win up to 30,000 coins.
To win at Draglings a player must match 3 or more of an identical symbol on a payline, and there are also Expanding Wilds, Free Spins, Spreading Wilds and Stacked Symbols on offer throughout the game to add to the enjoyment and longevity of the game.
One unique aspect of the game is the appearance of the symbols on the reels, and how they are viewed by the player.
Housed in a diamond like shape resembling a cave, 3 symbols appear on reels 1 and 5, 4 symbols appear on reels 2 and 4, and the 3rd reel in the middle features 5 symbols, upon the completion of a bet and spin.
While at this stage Draglings is only desktop based, Yggdrasil has promised Android and Apple versions in the future.
The game has been released in a 1645 x 945 screen resolution and offers a Return To Player of 96.4%.
