Game Overview

Dragons love to hoard gold, and where there’s gold, there must be the potential for a big slot win. Am I right? Well, I guess only time will tell as we head off into a fantasy adventure with Red Tiger Gaming and their Dragons Clusterbuster slot. This 9-reel slot game operates on the cluster pays engine with a below-average RTP of 92.17% and a maximum win of 7,931x bet.

As well as having an intriguing base theme and layout, Dragons Clusterbuster comes with some entertaining special features, too. A Clusterbuster can be formed during gameplay by creating specific clusters of symbols. The blue dragon hatchling can remove low-paying symbols from the reels, the green hatchling drops random wilds onto the screen, and the purple hatchling adds lightning multipliers to symbols. The game also comes with a free spins round for you to trigger, where the chances of the egg modifiers occurring increased drastically.

As far as grid slots go, this is an absolute monster with a massive playfield for you to hit winning combos. Don’t just take my word for it; you can play the game yourself in our free Dragons Clusterbuster slot demo, available to try below.

Dragons Clusterbuster Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Fantasy-themed slot games have long been popular with online players, and it’s no surprise, really, when you think of the ancient myths and tales we have been told from the past coupled with classic Hollywood movies like The Hobbit, which, of course, features Smaug the Dragon. Red Tiger is no stranger to the fantasy niche of slots themselves and has dabbled with dragon-themed slots previously with the likes of their Dragons Luck Megaways slot. There’s plenty of choice if you want to look around though, and a couple of games worth checking out are the Dragon Tiger slot and the Dragon Hero slot, both of which can be found in our Pragmatic Play demo section of our site.

Intro aside, it’s time to look at the all important pays. At the top of the paytable, we have the Crown worth 50x bet for winning clusters of 20 or more. This is followed by the Orb at 20x, with the Daggers next worth 15x, whilst the final premium paying symbol is the Scroll, valued at 12x bet for wins of 20+ symbols. The low pays consist of five royal symbols, with the Ace paying 10x, the King at 8x, followed by the Queen at 7x, and finally, the Jack and Ten paying 6x and 5x the bet, respectively, for winning combos of 20 or more symbols. A Wild symbol is also present in the game and will substitute for all regular paying symbols.

Choosing your stake on Red Tiger’s Dragons Clusterbuster slot is done using the + and – buttons at the bottom-left of the game screen. Using them will allow you to select a bet between a minimum of €0.10 and a maximum bet of €100 per spin.

Dragons Clusterbuster Base Game & Modifiers

Dragons Clusterbuster Base Game
Dragons Clusterbuster base game

As noted earlier, nine reels and nine rows are present in this game, which form its base grid. It is across this grid that you create clusters of symbols to ensure a winning payout occurs. A cluster must feature at least five identical symbols, and a cluster forms from horizontally and vertically aligned symbols.

Cascades

Whenever you form a winning cluster, the symbols included in it will disappear from the grid. This allows new symbols to fall from the top and potentially create additional wins for you. Should this happen, the process of cascades repeats itself, and this continues until no other wins can be made.

Clusterbuster

In the centre of the grid, you will see an inactive cluster of locked tiles, forming a large dragon’s egg image. The outer tiles of this image will unlock for you when winning clusters are formed around it. Simply break all of the outer tiles to unlock the image and release a dragon hatchling, which will introduce a special modifier to the grid.

Blue Hatchling

When the blue hatchling is released from the dragon egg, it will fly above the playfield and destroy all lower paying symbols. This removes them from the grid, allowing only higher paying symbols to land in the first cascade after this occurs.

Green Hatchling

Once you unlock the green dragon hatchling, it will fly over the grid and drop a random number of wild symbols onto the screen, making it easier to create wins.

Purple Hatchling

And should you manage to release the purple dragon hatchling from the egg, it will fly over the grid and add a lightning multiplier to random symbols. Multipliers can be added to up to 13 symbols during a spin, with up to 100x multipliers coming into play.

Jackpots

You will notice that on the left-hand side of the grid are three jackpot amounts. You can win one of these when three or more jackpot symbols appear on the reels. Simply spin the Jackpot Wheel to determine which jackpot amount will be won. There are hourly, daily and big drop jackpot values available.

Dragons Clusterbuster Slot Bonus Features

Unlock The Fire Egg On Dragons Clusterbuster Video Slot To Trigger The Free Spins Feature

If the symbol in the centre of the grid unlocks a Fire Egg, then you will trigger the bonus round and be given 10 free spins to begin the feature with.

Free Spins Feature

During the free spins bonus round on Dragons Clusterbuster, you will have an increased chance of the dragon egg features being activated.

Pros

  • It's one of the biggest grid slots you will find.
  • Modifiers can activate in the base game and not just the bonus feature.

Cons

  • The RTP of 92.17% isn't appealing at all.
  • Once the free spins are triggered, there aren't any other features you haven't already seen in the base game.

Dragons Clusterbuster Slot Review Final Thoughts

Dragons Clusterbuster slot might feature one of the biggest grids you will likely come across when playing a grid slot, but unfortunately, it lacks any real bite. Yes, there are a few modifiers in the game, but the free spins round is difficult to trigger, the RTP is incredibly low, and once the bonus round is active, it often leads to disappointment.
