Pragmatic Play Sails Into New Year With Dragon Hero Slot

Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, starts off the year with a new game Dragon Hero. An action-packed online slot comes with a big winning potential of up to 5,000x the bet and engaging features.

For this release, the provider found inspiration in Asian culture, reflected in the design of cards, all representing wealth and good fortune which is the most popular slot theme of the genre. Spinning on a 5x4 grid with 20 paylines are golden bowls, toads and fishes, alongside scrolls and royals depicting the lowest paying symbols.

These are joined by both yin and yang Wild and golden dragon Super Wild symbols. Regular Wilds have their usual power to substitute for all other symbols except Scatters, while Super Wilds can randomly place up to three Wilds anywhere on the game board.

Speaking of Scatters represented as the golden serpent dragons, three or more are required to land at the same time to trigger the bonus round.

When this happens, the scenery changes and the grid is replaced with 6, 8 or 10 bonus wheels framed with a dragon. At the hit of the dragon's tail, the wheels start to spin and randomly award a number of free spins.

After that, the scenery shifts back to the original settings and the free spins round begins. The main difference between the base game is that during the bonus feature all Super Wilds that hit are held in their landing positions until the end of the round.

Any Scatter that lands during free spins award a half of Wild. Two halves are needed to award an additional randomly placed Wild to a Super Wild symbol.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said about the slot:

“Dragon Hero™ is a bold and exciting title with every spin in both the base game and free spins round being able to award players multiple wilds, features and super wilds. Our slot roadmap for this year is set to build on the success of 2022 and players can expect the signature breadth of engaging features, themes and gameplay that Pragmatic Play is synonymous for. We’re excited at the prospect of creating content that encapsulates what it is to be a player favorite that our fans can return to time and again.”

This latest slot release is a great combination of simple yet highly volatile gameplay and modern features. It follows the recent provider's hits Starlight Christmas, Sweet Powernudge and Pizza! Pizza? Pizza! which resides in Pragmatic Play’s award-winning games portfolio.

In the last year, Pragmatic has increased its production to up to seven new slot titles per month in addition to also delivering live casino, virtual sports and bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio. There are no signs of slowing down, as the brand has started the year with such an engaging slot like Dragon Hero.
