Portals And Dragons

Capecod Gaming enters the realm of fantasy with Portals and Dragons. This five-reel slot features three separate varieties of free spin bonus games while offering a highest theoretical RTP that positively blows the competition away at an astonishing 98.11%.

Theme

Fans of Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, or other great entries in the fantasy canon, as well as players of Dungeons and Dragons, will delight in the world conjured up by Copepod’s design team. With the reels set amongst runes, horns, and scales, this is a world of magic and might. Gaming symbols include a bald sorcerer with a handsome beard, an armored knight, a dwarf carrying a fearsome hammer, a green goblin, a gleaming ring, an ax, a runic stone, a blue vase, and an enchanted map. A green dragon acts as wild, while three distinct portals scatter symbols open the way to this game’s three unique free spin bonus features. Each symbol briefly comes to life in an animated sequence when involved in a winning payline. The orchestral soundtrack invokes John Williams’ massive film music scores, adding to the epic gaming ambiance.

Betting Options and Functions

The architects of great fantasy stories possess tremendous gifts, inventing continents, creatures, histories, sometimes even languages, with fans objecting vehemently to any flaw, no matter how small. It’s clear that this simultaneous telescopic view and keen attention to detail inspired Capecod Gaming, as this is some of their best work yet. There are 25 adjustable paylines, each paying from left to right, with bet per line variable from 0.01–1.00. This yields an overall per-spin bet range of 0.01–25.00 times the betting currency. Autospins are available for up to 1,000 spins at a time, though players should use caution before stepping away from the game, as there are no protections in place for loss limits. Payable information and detailed game rules are available on separate screens. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is far, far greater than the industry average of 98.11%.

Features

There are three varieties of free spin in Portals & Dragons, with 5–20 spins awarded in each, depending on how many of the scatter symbols appear on the reels to trigger the feature. In the Emerald Freespin Bonus, extra wild symbols appear on the reels at random, increasing wins in frequency and size. Ruby Freespin Bonus is the most unpredictable of the three, with red dragon mystery symbols adding win multipliers and additional free spins to the feature. Finally, in the Golden Dragon Bonus, a golden dragon wild symbol is added to the reels: this is an expanding wild symbol that fills up entire reels when involved in a winning payline. Once expanded, an automatic respin is triggered with that expanded wild frozen in place, with this feature repeating up to three times if additional expanded wild symbols appear.

Our Take

Portals & Dragons’ sky-high RTP alone would place this game among the best slots yet created, but smart design takes it to another level. Furthermore, the bonus features can launch stratospheric wins. Any serious slot player, a fan of fantasy or not, is sure to find this title among their all-time favorites.
