Dragon Gaming – Meet the New and Upcoming Casino Slots Provider

The latest game designer/distributor in the online slots world is Dragon Gaming; the fledging Dragon’s initial catalogue contains a few table games as well as some pretty nice-looking slot games of the requisite motifs: The early game list includes China-themed The Ingot Ox, Basketball Legends, Ancient Egypt-themed Legend of Horus, Safari Stampede, Buffalo Bounty, Mexico-themed El Mariachi and the Wicked Witches.

Naturally, we played all the Dragon Gaming slots, with Wicked Witches one of our favorites of the lot. This slot has a strange 27 paylines fixed; bets in the basic version of the game may run from 1₵ per line (or 27₵ total bet) to $3 per (or $81). Particularly impressive in Wicked Witches is the sound; damn if that raven isn’t as creepy as a Poe nightmare...

Starring as this game’s coven are the traditional sexy trio of blond, brunette and redhead witches, whom we’ll name Flo, Vi, and Ru, respectively, after characters in Sam Beckett’s Come and Go, a spiritual sequel to Shakespeare’s MacBeth. But whereas Willie The Shake’s witches who harvest evil and chaos, this triad instead promises big jackpot wins boiling out of the cauldron.

Flo, Vi and Ru may be the high-paying symbols in the Wicked Witches slot game, but you’ll want to keep you eye out for the expanding wild; this figure kinda looks like Ichabod Crane’s nemesis – if the Headless Horsemen weren’t, you know, a horseman – but we’re naming him after Jack Pumpkinhead of L. Frank Baum’s Oz series. Jack the expanding wild can appear in any reel, up to two per spin.

Scatters are in the form of bonus symbols, treasure chest icons which appear in reels 1, 3 and 5 only; landing three in a single spin enters the player into the highly generous free spins round. For the round, 12 free games are given – What? Not 13? – and the player is guaranteed one, two or three wild symbols on every spin; these also carry a 3x bonus multiplier for winning spins with 1 wild, 5x for 2 wilds and 7x for 3 wilds.

Shakespeare’s witches, based on the legends and stories of his day, were meant to represent the fates of old. What do these comely Wicked Witches see in your future? Spin the reels and find out…
