Dragon Horn Slot Overview

Dragon Horn is a casino slot from Thunderkick in which we get to embark on an epic journey toward the Dragons Mountain. No, this is not a review of an up & coming Lord of the Rings film, but we don’t blame you for getting it twisted, and we’re about to make it even more confusing. Along the way, you’ll run into elves, knights, orcs, and dwarves. Oh, and also, the elf wields a bow *cough* Legolas. We’re not sure if Tolkien pioneered this theme, but he certainly brought it to light, and we assume that Dragon Horn is heavily inspired by his work. Note that this is not meant as negative criticism. We love the setting, so let’s see if the gameplay holds up!

Dragon Horn Slot Information

As mentioned, the game has a fantasy theme with dragons, elves, knights, orcs, dwarves, and wizards. It takes place in a cozy, medieval town, seemingly unaffected by the chaos a dragon brings. Once again, we are reminded of Tolkien's stories. Although danger lurks in every corner, daytime is usually calm, giving spectators a chance to breathe and soak in the atmosphere. In Dragon Horn, that feeling is best extracted by its soundtrack, which might as well’ve been taken straight from a Hobbit or LOTR movie. 

Dragon Horn can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols include shields in various shapes and colors. A winning combination of 5 with one of these pays 1x-2x the bet. The higher-paying symbols consist of orcs, dwarves, elves, knights, wizards, and dragons. Five-of-a-kind with these will pay 2.5x-20x the bet. The Wild symbol substitute for all of these symbols, and the dragon horn is a Scatter symbol used to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Wild Symbol

Wild symbols enable more winning combinations by substituting for other paying symbols. 

Scatter Symbol

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature.

Mystery Symbol

Symbols filled with dragon fire will all reveal the same higher-paying symbol, enabling some big winning combinations. In base game, these can also reveal Scatter symbols. 

Free Spins

If you land 3 Scatter symbols, you are awarded 7 Free Spins. Additional Scatters in the initial trigger awards you an extra 2 spins. In the bonus, your goal will be to collect as many Scatters as possible. For every 3 Scatters, a lower-paying symbol turns into a mystery symbol. Thus, if you collect a total of 15 Scatters, all shields landing will be a mystery symbol, all turning into the same higher-paying symbol. An extra Free Spin is awarded when you land a Scatter.

Dragon Horn Slot Conclusion

Using wizards, dragons, and orcs is a winning concept. It doesn’t matter if it’s a book, movie, or slot machine; it usually results in an epic product. Dragon Horn is no different. It proves that you can take advantage of the awesomeness these fierce creatures bring without making it dark and horrifying. We’re not against spooky settings, but the light, colorful visuals are pleasing to the eye. Other than that, the graphics and animations comes in classic Thunderkick style, as can be seen in The Falcon Huntress as well, per example.

It’s safe to say that there’s a lot of potential in the game. Although we are yet to see numbers close to the max win of 8282x, it can truly pop off once you reach the latter stages of the Free Spins feature. However, the journey there can feel hopeless at times. When testing the game out, we had many bonuses where we simply didn’t collect enough Scatters, thus not reaching the stage of potential. On the other hand, we were close to some full screens, which immediately allowed us to see the potential. It’s safe to say that this is a volatile slot, and we know ya’ll love that!

Dragon Horn by Thunderkick takes us on an epic journey to the Dragons Mountain, filled with LOTR-inspired references and some serious potential.Â
