Finn and the Dragon Tales Slot Review

Finn’s adventure takes a fierce and fiery turn in Netent’s latest release, Finn and the Dragon Tales!

Finn, the happy-go-lucky Leprechaun, finds himself in hot water (or lava in this case) as he travels to the land of Dragons in his latest adventure. Since leaving his forest abode in Finn and the Swirly Spin, Finn has played the role of Willy Wonka in Finn and the Candy Spin, but now he’s back and taking on his most dangerous endeavour yet. Will Finn tame the mighty Dragons or be swept away in their fiery frenzy?

As seen in the previous two instalments, Finn and the Dragon Tales follows the same clockwise reel mechanic, with symbols beginning in the bottom-left corner and finishing in the centre. Along your travels, you can unleash Multiplier Wilds and an epic Dragon Feature as winning combinations ignite Wild and/or Dragon symbols.

Wild Symbols

After a win evaluation and Avalanche event, a Wild symbol with an active Multiplier of x1 or x2 is positioned on the reels, substituting for all symbols except Dragon symbols and Scatters.

If a Multiplier Wild of x2 is positioned on top of a Multiplier Wild of x1, it will automatically take its place on the reels. Only the highest value is applied when a win involves more than 1 Multiplier Wild.

Wild Feature

In the base game, whenever a win without an active Wild is present, either the Wild x1, Wild x2, or Dragon Feature is triggered. Once a winning combination leaves the reel area, the symbols that created the win are replaced by a Wild or Dragon symbol.

  • Wild x1 Feature: The winning combination is replaced by a x1 Multiplier Wild in the middle position before the next Avalanche event occurs.
  • Wild x2 Feature: Activates when a winning combination of 4 symbols occurs. The winning combination is replaced by a x2 Multiplier Wild before the next Avalanche event.

When 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 Wilds appear in a line but are not part of another symbol win, they will substitute for the highest-paying symbol according to the paytable.

Dragon Feature

The Dragon feature activates when a winning combination of 5+ symbols occurs. The Dragon symbol can award a x1, x2, or x5 Multiplier, depending on the specific Dragon and colour group (Red, Blue, or Green).

  • x1 Dragon: Awarded when 5 matching symbols occur on a win line, replacing the winning combination on the reels.
  • x2 Dragon: Awarded when 6 matching symbols occur on a win line, replacing the winning combination on the reels.
  • x5 Dragon: Awarded when 7 matching symbols occur on a win line, replacing the winning combination on the reels.

When a Dragon symbol is replaced on the reels, all symbols of the same colour, if any, are transformed into the same symbol type of the winning combination activated by the Dragon Feature. When there is more than 1 Dragon symbol on the reels, the Multiplier of each Dragon is applied to the scattered win generated by the Dragon symbol.

The Green, Blue, and Red Dragon will only transform symbols within its colour group. If a Dragon symbol appears on top of a Multiplier Wild symbol, it will automatically replace it on the reels.

Random Wilds Feature

The Random Wilds feature is activated when a scattered win appears on the reels. Once a scattered win leaves the reel area, all Dragon symbols that remain will randomly position between 2 and 4 Wild symbols on top of regular symbols. Wild symbols that are spawned may randomly award a Multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x10.

Wild symbols that are spawned on the reels cannot replace other Wilds, Dragon symbols, or Key Scatters already in view. If there are not enough positions available, the number of Wild symbols generated from this feature is reset to match the number of available positions. Once Wild symbols are in position, the next Avalanche event begins.

Bonus Buy

  • Wild Hunt: Guarantees to have at least 1 winning combination (5x your bet)
  • Single Dragon: Guarantees 1 active Dragon symbol (10x your bet)
  • Double Dragon: Guarantees 2 active Dragon symbols (50x your bet)
  • Gold, Silver, Bronze: The Key Scatter is guaranteed to land in 1 of 3 zones; Gold, Silver, or Bronze. When one of these features is triggered through this function, the Key Scatter is positioned in one of these zones in the base game (100x your bet)
  • Gold Zone: The Key Scatter is guaranteed to land in the Gold zone through this function. Each spin in the base game positions the Key Scatter in the Gold zone (300x your bet)

Free Spins

In the base game, the Key Scatter is positioned in the bottom-left corner at the start of every spin. When the Key Scatter reaches the centre positions of the reel set, the Free Spins round is activated.

Once the Key Scatter has made its way to the centre of the Bronze, Silver, or Gold Zones, the Free Spins round begins with a Dragon symbol placed in the centre of the Free Spins reel set. awarding the following number of Free Spins:

  • Bronze Zone: Awards 5 Free Spins and a Green Dragon symbol
  • Silver Zone: Awards 8 Free Spins and a Blue Dragon symbol
  • Gold Zone: Awards 10 Free Spins and a Red Dragon symbol

Additionally, a Global Multiplier of x1 is active at the start of the round. During Free Spins, only two types of symbols can appear on the reels; Gemstone and Rocks. With each spin, the centre Dragon symbol transforms all regular symbols into a random symbol instance of its colour group, generating a scattered win.

Before the evaluation of the scattered win, the Rock symbols are destroyed, while a random number of them may reveal different types of Treasure Chests:

  • Purple Chest: Reveals a random Multiplier of x1, x2, x5, or x10
  • Gold Chest: Awards a cash prize between 0.25x and 1x your bet
  • Grey Chest: Awards an additional +3 Free Spins
  • Blue Chest: Awards an extra Green, Blue, or Red Dragon symbol

Our Verdict

Netent’s beloved character, Finn, has been around for some time, first gracing our screens in November of 2017. Finn and the Swirly Spin came at a time when certain mechanics were in their infancy, whipping up a unique reel mechanic that was fresh and enticing. With the evolution of slot functions and mechanics, it’s nice to see that Netent has kept the clockwise reel mechanic prominent in the series.

The Dragon theme is far more appealing than the Candy one found in Finn and the Candy Spin, as well as its crisp, clear graphics and indulgent soundtrack. This game also promotes many positive changes to gameplay and statistics, including the addition of Multiplier Wilds and special Dragon symbols, though the max win cap of 3,828x your bet could have done with some fine-tuning.

If you’re a loyal fan of the series so far, you’ll find the multiple alterations that come with Finn and the Dragon Tales just the ticket, but amateur players looking to chase big payouts and potential will be better off elsewhere.

*Finn and the Dragon Tales is available to play at many Online Casino Sites from the 1st April 2025
