Dragon’s Domain (Hacksaw Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Looking at the title of this slot in isolation without ever opening the game for the first time, you’d have to imagine there were two possible themes it could have. The first would be a world that is the domain of big, scaly, fire-breathing dragons, and the second would be about a company that sells web domains. Now, I’ve been surprised by my assumptions many times before, but you’d have to imagine it’s the first one, right? Well, actually…yeah, it’s that one. Dragon’s Domain is a 6×5 scatter pays Hacksaw Gaming slot with a 96.31% RTP and a rather fiery maximum win of 10,000x the stake.

Dragons take centre stage in this slot, not just because of the theme but also because of their symbols. These terrifying symbols, some of which can hold multiplier values of up to 10x, will unleash their Dragonfire in a cross pattern on the reels, destroying regular symbols in the process. That fire also resets the lives of multiplier wilds that remain on the reels during cascades, which reduces their lives but also increases their multiplier value by 1x. Those Dragons also feature in two bonus games, the best of which could hatch Golden Dragon Eggs with cash prize values of up to 200x the stake!

Think you have enough about you to extinguish the threat of these fire-breathing beasts? Then, you’re braver than me. I do suggest you get some dragon-slaying practice beforehand, though, perhaps in the free-to-play Dragon’s Domain slot demo below.

If you have a burning desire for more Dragon-themed slots, plenty of other smoking-hot titles have been released over the years. One scorching game you can try here at Demoslot is Blueprint Gaming’s 8×8 slot, Dragonfall. It’s a cluster pays slot with a maximum win of 50,000x the stake. Pragmatic Play’s Drago Jewels of Fortune, which offers a friendlier style of Dragon-ness than you’ll usually find, is another worthwhile option, whilst Fortune Dragon from PG Soft is another popular choice with players worth checking out.

One eye-catching aspect of the Dragon’s Domain slot is the potential symbol payouts that can come our way, with the Dragon Slayer symbol topping the chart and returning 800x the stake when 19 or more symbols land anywhere in view. The Treasure Chest delivers 400x, a Scorpion-ornament pays 300x, whilst the Goblet is worth up to 300x, with the Ring and Coins symbols rounding out the premiums, both paying 200x. We conclude this section with the low pays, which are the Skull, Helmet, Shield, Sword and Axe, and all have a maximum payout of 50x the stake.

Dragon’s Domain offers a staggering range of 29 different staking options, giving you the power to choose the one that best suits your style of play. Whether you prefer to start small with a stake of €0.10 or aim high with a spin of €100.00, your dragon-fighting fate is in your own hands.


Dragon’s Domain Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Scatter pays slots are certainly what you’d class as the current trend, and that mechanic is once again in play across the 6×5 grid matrix of the Dragon’s Domain video slot. You’ll receive payouts whenever 8 or more matching symbols land in any position on the reels. A cascading reels mechanic removes any winning symbols, and more will fall from above to replace them, which can result in more wins on the same spin.


Charred Land Wild Multiplier Symbols

Charred Land Wild Multiplier symbols can land on any reel, holding values of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x, and each starts with three lives. Each time they’re involved in a winning combination, they lose a life, and each time a cascade occurs, their multiplier value increases by 1x. If multiple Charred Land symbols form part of a win, their multipliers are added together before being applied to the symbol payout.


Dragonfire Feature Symbols

Red and Golden Dragon symbols can appear due to a spin and activate at the end of a spin when no more wins are possible. They’ll fire Dragonfire in a cross pattern (horizontally and vertically) from their position. Regular symbols hit by the Dragonfire are removed from the reels, while Charred Land Wild symbols hit by the Dragonfire have their charges refilled. The Golden Dragonfire symbols also hold a multiplier value of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x. That value is multiplied by the multiplier value of any hit Charred Land Wild symbol, giving it a new value for the remainder of the spin.


Dragon’s Domain Slot Bonus Features

There are two bonus games on Dragon’s Domain; one requires three scatter symbols to trigger, and the other requires four. Let’s look at these in more detail and see what you can expect from them.


Dragon’s Lair Free Spins Feature

When three Dragon Eye scatter symbols land anywhere in view, the Dragon’s Lair bonus game triggers. You receive 10 free spins, and during these, the Charred Land Multipliers remain sticky on the reels between spins until their lives run out. Each time two or three scatter symbols land during a spin, you’ll receive an additional two or four free spins, respectively.


The Hatchery Bonus Game

If you land four Dragon Eye scatters, the Hatchery Bonus game triggers instead. You receive 10 free spins of reels that now only land blanks, Dragon Eggs, Dragons, or Free Spins symbols. The Dragon Eggs contain cash prizes as follows:

  • Green Eggs: 1x to 10x the stake.
  • Red Eggs: 20x to 40x the stake.
  • Golden Eggs: 50x to 200x the stake.

You’ll win those cash values if they’re hit by the Dragonfire of any Dragon symbols on the reels. Furthermore, if a Golden Dragon hits an Egg, their multiplier values are multiplied together to give a new Cash Prize for the Egg. Each time two or three scatter symbols land during a spin, you’ll receive an additional two or four free spins, respectively.


Pros

  • New features give Dragon’s Domain an edge over other slots in the niche.
  • Another well-presented theme from Hacksaw.

Cons

  • I’m fanning the flames a bit here, but 10,000x the stake is a lower max win than some other scatter pays slots.

Dragon's Domain Slot Review Final Thoughts

The scatter-pays genre is extremely competitive right now, so developers have to create something different for their slots to stand out. Hacksaw Gaming has attempted this via wild symbols that remain persistent between cascades and Dragon symbols that cause further cascades, add life to the wilds, and potentially multiply multiplier values. Personally, I think the features are a good combination, so I reckon this could prove one of the more popular scatter pays slots I’ve reviewed in recent months.
