Introduction to Dragon PrimeX
Dragon PrimeX is a casino slot from Wishbone featuring some of the most fascinating creatures in mythology: dragons. Unlike many monsters, dragons are often portrayed as both wise and dangerous. In European legends, dragons usually breathe fire and guard treasure, while in Chinese folklore, they are powerful, lucky beings associated with rain and rivers. A quirky fact is that many dragon stories may have been inspired by ancient people discovering dinosaur fossils and imagining giant beasts. Another interesting detail is that dragon myths appear independently across cultures that had no contact with one another.
This dragon game concentrates heavily on a bonus feature full of enhancements. Let’s have a look at them.
Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Dragon PrimeX is a video slot from Wishbone featuring 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines. The Min.bet is 0.2, and the Max.bet is 50. Dragon PrimeX has an RTP of 96.2% and high volatility. Taking home the max win will award you with 5,000x the bet, and the hit frequency of 28% means that you score wins on more than one spin in 4.
The game takes us to a dystopic place that looks like armageddon has hit Earth. A yellow lava river is flowing at the bottom of the screen, where a dragon egg sits on top of a pillar. The five reels in the middle of the screen have a stone frame, and in the background are massive mountains and an active volcano spitting lava. To make a win, you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on one of the 20 paylines going left to right. The game is available on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Dragon PrimeX are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay between 2x and 5x the bet for a win containing 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are crowns, scrolls, chests, and chalices. They pay between 25x and 100x the bet for wins of 5 symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Dragon PrimeX?
You can win up to 5,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Dragon PrimeX?
The features are Scatter Symbols, Scatter Respin, Bonus Feature, and Feature Enhancements.
Scatter Symbols
The Scatter Symbol is depicted by a dragon. It can land on any reel and is used to trigger the Bonus Feature. If you land the Maximum Win Symbol together with a Scatter Symbol, you’ll be awarded the max win of 5,000x the bet.
Scatter Respin
If two Scatter symbols land during a base game spin without a third Scatter, there is a chance to trigger a Scatter Respin. This only happens if both Scatters can move down one position while staying on their reels. A Respin will not be awarded if a feature has already been triggered.
During the Respin, the reels holding the Scatter symbols move down by one position, while the remaining reels spin again. Orb symbols with cash values are known as Value symbols and can award between 0.5x and 20x your bet. Orb symbols with multipliers are called Special symbols and can carry multipliers ranging from x2 to x10.
During every Scatter Respin, at least one Scatter symbol changes into a Collector symbol. The Collector gathers all visible Value and Special symbols, adding together any multipliers before applying them to the total value collected. The Collector can also trigger the Bonus Feature.
There is also a random chance for an explosion to occur during the Respin. When this happens, every symbol except the Scatter symbols can transform into either Value or Special symbols, creating even more collecting opportunities.
Bonus Feature
The Bonus Feature starts with 10 Bonus Spins and may include one or more special enhancements that improve the feature. Value symbols can appear with prizes worth between 0.5x and 20x the bet. Special symbols may contain multipliers or Extra Spins, while the Dragon serves as the Collect symbol.
Whenever a Collect symbol lands, it gathers all visible Value and Special symbols. Any active multiplier is applied to the total before the winnings are added to your prize. All Bonus Feature wins are collected automatically when the feature ends.
If you reach the max win of 5,000x the bet, the bonus game will end. The Bonus Features cannot be re-triggered once they have started.
Feature enhancements
More collectables – Collectables enhancement
This enhancement adds extra Value symbols, multipliers, and Extra Spins to the reels during the Bonus Feature, giving you more opportunities to increase your winnings.
More collectors – Collectors enhancement
Additional Collector symbols can appear during the Bonus Spins, allowing more Value and Special symbols to be collected throughout the feature.
More explosions – Explosions enhancement
This enhancement increases the chance of explosions happening during the Bonus Feature. If a Bonus Spin ends with a Collect symbol but no Value or Special symbols, an explosion may randomly occur. All symbols except the Collector can then transform into Value or Special symbols.
+5 Bonus Spins – Extra 5 Bonus Spins enhancement
Before the Bonus Feature begins, you receive five additional Bonus Spins, increasing the feature to a total of 15 spins.
More special collectibles – Special collectibles enhancement
This enhancement increases the chance that collectible symbols will be assigned multipliers or Extra Spins instead of standard values.
Persistent multipliers – Multipliers enhancement
Whenever a Collector symbol is present, all multiplier values are added together into a running multiplier total. This total is applied to every Value symbol collected and remains active for the rest of the Bonus Feature. Multiplier values range from x2 to x10.
Unlock Extra Spins – Unlock Extra Spins enhancement
When a Collector appears, all Extra Spins values are added to your remaining Bonus Spins. Extra Spins can award between 1 and 10 additional spins.
Wild Orb Reel – Wild Orb Reel enhancement
This enhancement adds one Wild Orb Reel to every Bonus Spin. The reel contains three assigned rewards, which may include Value symbols, multipliers, or Extra Spins. These rewards are collected whenever a Collector symbol appears.
Wild Orb Reel symbols can also substitute for all regular symbols to help create winning combinations, but they cannot replace Scatter symbols.
Final Thoughts on Dragon PrimeX
Dragon PrimeX is not a game that arrives quietly. It would slam the doors open, if there were any doors to be slammed, in this dragon-infested place surrounded by lava, volcanoes, and a dragon that clearly skipped anger management classes. The developers have tried hard to make Dragon PrimeX stand out, but at the end of the day, we have to say that this is a pretty mediocre game.
Dragons are pretty common in the slot world, and we have seen better versions of them. Fans of Wishbone will also realize that this dragon adventure is more or less the same game as Phoenix Reign. The features and the stats are almost identical, so don’t expect any groundbreaking, innovative moves from these dragons.
The max win of 5,000x the bet is on the lower side for a highly volatile game, and there are plenty of modern slots that aim much higher.
Dragon PrimeX from Wishbone offers a dragon adventure with a feature-packed bonus round that still isn’t enough to make us stay for long. Remember that dragons are famous for guarding treasure, not handing it away like free samples at a supermarket.
