Legend of the Ice Dragon Review

We’ve seen plenty of dragon themed slots in our time, but few of them come with such an elaborate intro as Play’n Go’s Legend of the Ice Dragon. The intro narrator sounds like someone from an old-school Hollywood trailer, and it certainly piqued our curiosity. The blue/white Ice Dragon seems inspired by the asian tradition, and he floats calmly up and down between feature triggers.

Speaking of, this is certainly a feature rich affair, but there is no bonus round to look forward to. Like the typical Play’n Go grid slot it is, the gameplay is all about filling the Ice Crystal Charger with winning symbols to trigger modifiers. Wilds frame positions per cascading sequence, and these turn wild when the winning symbols meter is maxed out. Multiplier frames up to x8 can also be generated, and this is how you’re most likely to crack the 6,000x potential.

Legend of the Ice Dragon Slot Features

You win by landing 5 to 30+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the grid, and the premium symbols pay between 75 and 500 x your stake for 30+ in a cluster. All winning clusters are removed from the grid, and new and/or existing symbols will then drop down to fill the gaps.

The ‘W’ wild symbols lock in place an Ice Frame wherever they land, and if wilds land inside an Ice Frame the multiplier of the frame is increased by +1. The frame multiplier can go as high as x8, but only the highest multiplier will be applied to winning clusters. Ice Frames reset between cascading sequences, and the frames remain inactive until the Dragon Blast feature is triggered (see below).

You can get randomly triggered Freezing modifiers at any given time, and they work as follows:

• Hailstorm - destroys 3 randomly chosen symbol types, as well as up to 5 adjacent symbols, or turn up to 9 of them wild.
• Avalanche - destroys all instances of 2 symbol types, and adds up to 7 wilds in their place.
• Blizzard - destroys or turns up to 5 symbols wild.

The Ice Crystal Charger is seen on the left-hand side, and all winning symbols are collected in this meter. You need 20, 40, 60 and 80 collected winning symbols in a single cascading sequence to trigger the modifiers, and these are as follows (in chronological order):

• Tail Lash - turns all present premium symbols into a matching random premium symbol.
• Ice Scorch - turns 3 to 6 randomly selected symbols wild.
• Destruction - removes all low-value symbols from the grid.
• Dragon Blast - turns all symbols inside Ice Frames wild, and activates the frame multiplier.

You can “overcharge” the Crystal Charger via lengthy cascades, and you get +2 Ice Frames per 10 symbols you collect above 80.

You get to see a lengthy and lucrative cascading sequence in our 4-minute highlights video this time, and we even overcharged the meter which gave us a few extra Ice Frames. Everything culminates when the Ice Frames turn wild in the end, and this leads to a pretty solid payout.

Review Summary

The narrated intro made a solid first impression, and Legend of the Ice Dragon is an overall decent grid slot in the Play’n Go ever-growing range. Featurewise, it's obviously inspired by their 2019 release, Wild Frames, but the two themes are miles apart. Either way, both games are mainly about racking up as many wild frames as possible in a single cascading sequence, as well as maxing out the frame multipliers.

It stops at x8 in this game, compared to x9 in Wild Frames, and the highest default RTP, as well as the 6,000x potential, are both a tad lower in this release. You get plenty of modifier action from the Crystal Charger, in addition to the random modifiers, and fans of the cluster pays grid slot genre will probably be pleased. Nothing too revolutionary is on display here though, but a somewhat oriental looking ice dragon is perhaps a bit of a rarity.

Pros

• Wilds leave behind Ice Frames
• Ice Frame multipliers up to x8
• 3 random modifiers
• 4 meter charge modifiers
• Ice Frames turn wild from full charge
• Win up to 6,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges

If you love Legend of the Ice Dragon Slot you should also try:

Wild Frames - is a fruity Las Vegas themed release from Play’n Go, and it comes with a very similar wild frame feature. Winning symbols charge a meter also here, and this can trigger up to 3 modifiers on the way to the top-tier wild frame transformation feature. The volatility is high, and you can win up to 7,000x your stake.

24K Dragon - is another visually pleasing Play’n Go fantasy slot, and it comes with 1 to 4 extra rows that can be added in the respins feature. Also the bonus round comes with expanding reels, and wild multipliers can lead to payouts up to a solid 24,000x your stake.

Dragon's Fire - is a visually stunning fantasy slot from Red Tiger, and it plays out on 5x4 reels with 40 paylines.
