Dragon Horn from Thunderkick: Slot Review - a rewarding dragon-hunting adventure!

Embark on an epic quest in this hot new release from leading software provider Thunderkick! This game takes place in a medieval village where a bunch of heroes gathers to take on a huge red dragon that’s been terrorising the townspeople. A brave knight, a skilled elf archer, and a strong dwarf have teamed up to combat this threat but the dragon is not the only obstacle in their path as they will also have to deal with a savage bunch of orcs too! Let’s join the heroes as they set about taking down the dragon once and for all and hopefully land us a nice cash payout in doing so!

Dragon Horn is a 243 ways to win slot that includes Wild Symbols, Mystery Symbols, and Free Spins.

Special Features

The first feature to talk about is the Wild symbol which is represented by the letter ‘W’. This symbol substitutes for all other symbols in the game apart from the Scatter to help create winning combinations. It can appear on all reels except for the first reel in the game.

Dragon Horn features mystery symbols which are illustrated by a dragon fire symbol which look like a magical type of mirror. When these symbols appear on the reels then they will replace all other symbols apart from the low-paying Shield symbols. When they do show up then a randomly selected symbol will replace the mystery symbols to further increase your chances of landing a big win on the reels.

The Scatter symbol in this game is denoted by an image of a Dragon Horn. Land 3 or more of these symbols to trigger the special Bonus Game. It goes without saying, the more Scatters you land then the more Free Spins you will get for this feature. 3 Scatters will get you 7 Free Spins, 4 awards 9 Free Spins, and if you manage to land 5 Scatters then you will receive 11 Free Spins for the Bonus Game. During this feature, each time that you land a Scatter symbol then you will be awarded 1 additional Free Spin. Mystery symbols are also active here and can transform any symbol apart from the Shields and Scatter.

While in the Bonus Game, any Scatter that appears not only awards another Free Spin but also advances the Dragon Horn meter by 1. Collect 3 Scatters here to advance to the next level. When this happens then the Shield symbols will transform into Mystery symbols for the remainder of the Bonus Game. There are 5 levels in total to progress through with the final level unlocking all 5 Shield symbols so that they can become Mystery symbols too.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

Graphics-wise, the visuals are superb as the game features beautifully cartoon-like graphics and is set in a quaint Medieval village with cloudy blue skies overhead. Symbols are wonderfully designed and consist of a Knight, an Elf, a Dwarf, an Orc, a Queen, a Dragon Horn, along with a bunch of different coloured Shield symbols. The animations are a real visual treat as symbols fly down the reels and are highlighted nicely by a bright glowing yellow frame when part of a winning combination. A particular highlight is when you trigger the Bonus Game feature as the background joins to different forest settings as you advance through the levels in order to get to the Dragon’s Lair.

The music is upbeat with a charming and pleasant soundtrack used. It actually fits in really well with the Fantasy theme of the game.

The game has 243 ways to win, a solid RTP of 96.1%, and an excellent maximum payout worth 8,282X your total bet.
