How Dragon Born plays
The theme is medieval fantasy, built around the dragon of the title. Each spin the reel heights change at random, so the number of ways moves up and down from one spin to the next. Wins pay from left to right on adjacent reels.
The feature that defines the base game is the jester wild. Rather than landing as a single symbol, it covers a whole reel:
- It counts as up to seven symbols on that reel and substitutes for everything except the scatter.
- It carries a multiplier of up to 7x on any winning combination it joins.
- When two or more of these wild reels join the same combination, their multipliers are multiplied together, so two 7x wilds give 49x.
That multiplying rule is what lifts Dragon Born above a standard ways game: one wild reel helps, but two or three on the same spin can multiply a payout many times over.
Free spins from the diamond scatters
The diamond is the scatter, and three or more anywhere on the reels trigger free spins. The number depends on how many land:
- 3 diamonds: 6 free spins
- 4 diamonds: 12 free spins
- 5 diamonds: 25 free spins
- 6 diamonds: 50 free spins
Each extra diamond that lands during the round adds one more spin, so the feature can keep extending. The steep step from 6 to 50 spins means the scatter count matters more here than in many slots, and this ladder, together with the multiplying wild reels, is what separates Dragon Born from newer Megaways releases that rely on cascades.
