Dragon Hero

Dragon Hero builds its entire identity around a dragon that does much more than substitute for missing symbols. Pragmatic Play uses a 5 reel, 4 row grid with 20 fixed paylines, but the main attraction is the Super Wild, which can send up to three additional Wilds into random positions. Free Spins make every Super Wild sticky and introduce a progression mechanic where collected Scatters can strengthen the amount of Wild support they provide. With high volatility, a 96.00% RTP and a maximum payout of 5,000x the total bet, Dragon Hero becomes most interesting when several Super Wilds occupy the grid early enough to influence a large portion of the bonus. Regular wins require at least three matching paying symbols on consecutive reels from left to right, beginning on reel 1. The paytable combines card ranks with Asian themed premiums including coins, scrolls, pots, fish, frogs and golden bowls. The strongest premium symbols provide the largest natural line payouts, while both varieties of Wild can substantially improve the probability of completing combinations across the central reels. The Yin and Yang symbol acts as the regular Wild and can appear across the grid. It substitutes for all normal paying symbols but cannot replace the Scatter or Super Wild. It also has its own payout, with five regular Wilds across a qualifying payline awarding 60x the total bet. The dragon is the Super Wild and appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. It also substitutes for regular paying symbols, but its defining ability activates after the reels stop. A Super Wild can randomly place 1, 2 or 3 additional regular Wilds onto positions across the grid. More than one distributed Wild can target the same position, so the final arrangement depends on both how many Wilds are generated and where the dragon places them. This mechanic gives the base game occasional screens where one Super Wild substantially changes the original result. A dragon on a central reel may already substitute within a payline before distributing its additional Wilds, giving the same symbol two separate ways to influence the outcome. Multiple Super Wilds can appear together and each performs its own Wild distribution. Landing at least 3 Scatters anywhere on the grid triggers Free Spins. Instead of immediately awarding a fixed number, Dragon Hero uses Bonus Wheels to determine the starting total. Three Scatters activate 6 wheels, four activate 8 and five activate 10. Every wheel awards 1, 2 or 3 Free Spins and all revealed values are added together. This means three Scatters can produce between 6 and 18 Free Spins, four can produce between 8 and 24, while five Scatters can create anywhere from 10 to the maximum starting allocation of 30 Free Spins. Larger Scatter triggers therefore improve both the minimum and maximum possible duration of the feature before the first bonus spin has even started. Super Wilds receive their biggest upgrade during Free Spins because every dragon that lands becomes Sticky. It remains locked in its position for the rest of the bonus and continues distributing regular Wilds on every subsequent spin. An early Super Wild can therefore affect many results instead of performing its distribution only once. Additional Scatters during Free Spins no longer retrigger the feature directly. Instead, they interact with the Sticky Super Wilds. Each Scatter contributes half of a Wild to a Super Wild. Once two halves have been collected, that Super Wild gains the ability to distribute one additional regular Wild on every remaining Free Spin. The Super Wild progression has three levels, allowing a Sticky dragon to become increasingly effective as more Scatter halves are collected. Several Sticky Super Wilds can operate simultaneously. Each remains in place and performs its own Wild distribution according to its current level. A bonus that collects multiple dragons early can therefore become considerably more active, particularly if later Scatters strengthen those Super Wilds before many of the awarded spins have been used. Dragon Hero offers a Bonus Buy in supported jurisdictions for 100x the total bet. The purchase guarantees at least 3 Scatters and therefore enters the normal Bonus Wheel sequence before Free Spins begin. It does not guarantee 30 Free Spins or a strong Sticky Super Wild setup, since the number of spins and the dragons appearing during the feature remain determined by the standard mechanics. The default RTP is 96.00%, with alternative versions of 94.94% and 94.03% available. Stakes range from 0.20 to 100 and volatility is high. Dragon Hero can pay up to 5,000x the total bet. Reliable theoretical figures for Hit Frequency, natural Bonus Round Frequency and the exact probability of reaching the maximum payout are not publicly disclosed. There is no Megaways engine or progressive jackpot. The real attraction lies in building a collection of Sticky Super Wilds, strengthening them with Scatter halves and watching each dragon continue distributing Wilds until the feature ends.
