Legend of the Ice Dragon

If you've always yearned to follow in Daenerys' footsteps, this is your big chance with Legend of the Ice Dragon, the online slot from Play'n GO. The only difference is that these dragons don't breathe out scorching fire; instead, they're more on the frosty side. But that doesn't mean that you can't collect a heap of red-hot prizes - if you take the top payout, you'll walk away with a magnificent x10,000. 

Dragons are a popular fantasy staple, and there are plenty of slots that feature them, such as Dragon Hunter, Dragon's Myth and Red Dragon Wild. But surely an ice dragon is completely unique? Surprisingly, there's already been an online slot dedicated to the arctic-breathing beasts; back in 2019, Kalamba Games released Age of Ice Dragons, a 40-line slot game with a very wintry theme. Legend of the Ice Dragon isn't related to this game in any way and has an entirely different style of play, so if you're a fan of the glacial gliders, there are two slots to enjoy! 

Returning to Legend of the Ice Dragon, players will discover a 7x7 grid that is set up for the cluster pays. This means you can forget conventional paylines as in order to win; you'll need to land a cluster of symbols. Five or more symbols need to join together to make a cluster, touching either vertically or horizontally. The more symbols in a cluster, the bigger the potential win. Start spinning the reels from just 0.20 for a min bet which can be increased up to 100.00. The x10,000 max prize is combined with a reasonably high volatility, so you'll need to be wrapped up warm to wait for your win in the freezing conditions!

For fans of fantasy slots, this title ticks all the boxes with majestic cliffs silhouetted against a purple sky and the ice-blue dragon hovering effortlessly alongside the reels. During play, the backdrop changes to a spectacular night panorama, complete with a beautiful display of Aurora Borealis, which lights up the sky.  

As a cluster pays slot, the reels are more of a grid than the traditional rectangular slot, and typically, the symbols are relatively basic. The low pays are the playing card suits, while the premium pays include a variety of coloured crystals. If you manage to land a full cluster of 30 symbols, you could win between x75 and x500. 

Every time you land a cluster, the winning symbols will disappear from the grid, and the remaining symbols will shuffle down into their new positions. The spaces will be filled by new tiles which cascade down from above, and the grid will be checked for any additional winning clusters. This will keep on repeating until there are no further clusters visible.

There aren't any real bonus rounds in Legend of the Ice Dragon, but the winged beasts aren't alone. There are several fun features that boost play and can increase your potential for winning.  

The wild on the reels is represented by the horned-W image, and wherever it lands, it will create a sticky ice frame. If a wildlands in a position that has already been transformed to a sticky ice frame, a multiplier will be added up to a maximum of x8. These will remain inactive unless the Dragon Blast feature is unleashed.  

On the left-hand side of the reels, there is an Ice Crystal Charger that collects winning symbols. When you've acquired a certain number of symbols, new features will be added to the reels: 

●     Tail Lash - all premium symbols change into one type of premium symbol

●     Ice Scorch - between 3-6 symbols are randomly changed into wilds

●     Destruction - all low pays are removed from the grid

●     Dragon Blast - turns all the symbols within ice frames into wilds and activates the ice frame multipliers 

If you overcharge the Ice Crystal Charger, you will receive two extra ice frames per 10 additional symbols. 

Of course, you won't win with every spin, but Play'n GO have got a little something to cheer up those depressing turns. Freezing features may randomly trigger on any non-winning spin, with three potential options: 

●     Hailstorm - Three symbols of one particular type are chosen and destroyed together with up to five adjacent symbols. Alternatively, they may be turned wild, with up to 9 wilds available.

●     Avalanche - the grid is covered by a snowy avalanche, getting rid of two types of symbols and replacing them with up to 7 wilds

●     Blizzard - up to five symbols on the grid are either destroyed or replaced by wilds

If you're looking to switch things up a bit, then a cluster pays online slot at bwin always makes a refreshing change. The Legend of the Ice Dragon from Play'n GO makes a fantastic addition for any fantasy fan, with excellent potential for prizes and lots of symbols to keep things interesting. There might not be any fire-breathing dragons here, but with these goodies lined up, you might just be converted to the wintry wyverns instead!
