In Drago – Jewels of Fortune, we meet a friendly fire-breathing lizard named Drago that guards a treasure-filled lair, just like Smaug in the film The Hobbit. Sounds intimidating? Relax! Drago and his fellow fire-spewing friends take more after the tamable draconic pets from the movie How To Train Your Dragon than the fearsome Smaug who wouldn’t hesitate to tear anything that crosses his path from limb to limb.

Overview, Math Model, Basic Rules, and Paytable
The slot loads up to a rather cartoonish scene, which is expected from Pragmatic Play. Drago appears to be in a cave guarding pots that are overflowing with glimmering gold coins, but his sheepish stare makes him look like he would give everything away to anyone who would summon the courage to pet a dragon. Just in front of him is a rather peculiar-looking playing area that is crisscrossed by a whopping 1600 bet lines. That means little to no chances of landing wins on an unutilized line, as well as the potential for mindboggling wins, which the developers cap at a whopping 48000 times the players bet!
Moving on to the math model, Pragmatic Play came quite close to filling the volatility bar for this one while setting the default Return to Player at 96.5%, even when the player decides to jump straight into the free spins session with the buy feature. The exact hit rate value is not known, but it must be above-average judging by how responsive the slot was in terms of the wins, as well as the boosting features, during our test runs.

As usual, commencing play involves selecting the ideal stake just before setting the reels in motion using the recognizable Pragmatic Play UI carried forth on each of their releases. Winners are awarded for every combination of three or more identical symbols on adjacent reels, counting from left to right.
The slot’s paytable is where Drago introduces you to his pals. They all act as the high-pays while a bunch of card royal icons acts as the low-pays. There is also a non-paying wild, which appears on reels one, two, and three to take the place of any regular payer to complete a winning combination.
Tame the Dragons!
Besides matching the dragons correctly for the corresponding paytable prizes, the player should strive to land symbols belonging to any one of the draconic critters on all four corners of the grid to gain entry into the Dragon Super Spin Screen. Here, you get to capture as many of the triggering dragon’s symbols as you can for rewards of up to five thousand times your stake while handy dragon eye symbols double the prizes!
Bonus Round
Bonus Symbols that take the shape of quartz crystal clusters can also occupy the 4 corners of the grid to gain you entry into a re-spins session where you get to accumulate sticky wilds, Mystery Symbols, and win multipliers to be used in the free spins you manage to rack up. Unfortunately, the pre-bonus round re-spin feature cannot be re-triggered once the free spins begin, but there is no limit to the number of rounds you can garner when it is playing.
Our Verdict
With its recurrent Super Spins to the way the bonus round is triggered, Drago – Jewels of Fortune is innovative to the core. That, together with its unfamiliar 1600 ways to win that is bound to unlock breathtaking wins, makes it a must-play for every slot player, including those affected by herpetophobia!
