Firedrake’s Fortune Review

Not all games have to be super innovative to be fun to play, and Kalamba’s Firedrake’s Fortune is a good example of that. It comes with a visually pleasing dragon/fantasy theme, featuring neat animations done in a cartoonish style that suits the theme perfectly. The bet range of 50p to £100 per spin makes it suitable for most players.

The choice of 3 different Hyperbet levels offers even more flexibility, although level 1 completely lacks punch and doesn’t seem worthwhile. You obviously want expanded wilds with multipliers, as this makes a big difference when you win, and you also want a higher multiplier limit in the bonus round. Firedrake’s Fortune might not be for penny punters, but it’s an overall solid game for pretty much everyone else.

Firedrake’s Fortune Features

You will see a Collection Meter on the right-hand side, and it comes with 3 dragon head tiers. You need to collect 3, 6 or 9 eggs to reach each of the 3 tiers. The gameplay goes in cycles of 10 spins, which is called a LuckyLoop.

The 10th spin awards 1, 2 or 3 randomly placed and fully expanded Red Dragon multiplier wilds. The multiplier value is either 1x, 2x or 3x, depending on your Hyperbet level. You have 3 Hyperbet levels to choose from. Level 2 ups the ante to 2.1x, while level 3 will set you back 3.8x the cost of a regular Hyperbet level 1 spin.

Also the regular Blue Dragon wild will expand when present on the 10th spin, but it does not come with any multiplier value attached. The Collection Meter is then reset, and the LuckyLoop cycle starts anew.

The blinking eye of the Red Dragon is the bonus symbol in this game, and you need at least 3 anywhere in sight to trigger the bonus round. The Blue Dragon wild will now expand to cover the full reel whenever it lands.

How many initial free spins you get, and the multiplier starting level and max level, is determined by your Hyperbet level as follows:

• Hyperbet level 1 = 6 initial free spins with the multiplier meter starting at 2x and increasing +1 for each spin up to 6x.
• Hyperbet level 2 = 8 initial free spins with the multiplier meter starting at 3x and increasing +1 for each spin up to 8x.
• Hyperbet level 3 = 10 initial free spins with the multiplier meter starting at 4x and increasing +1 for each spin up to 10x.

All Red Dragon wilds become sticky when they land, and the multiplier level for all the sticky wilds is the same as in the meter. This means that your sticky wilds are upgraded with a higher multiplier per spin, until it reaches the maximum value. The Blue Dragon Eye symbol awards +1 extra spin whenever it lands.

Finally, non-UK players can purchase the bonus round via the HyperBonus feature. You choose between 6, 8 or 10 free spins, with the starting and maximum multiplier as described above. This will set you back exactly 40.72x, 114.6x or 255x your stake, respectively.

The 200 Spins Firedrake’s Fortune Experience

We were a bit fascinated by the whole LuckyLoop Expanding Wild feature, so we kept grinding on to see what it would deliver in the base game. You can see this all play out for a while in our 200 spins highlights video, or you can skip directly to the bonus round which starts at 4:25 into the video.

Review Summary

We find Firedrake’s Fortune to be a nicely designed slot with well-done animations and visuals. Kalamba has done a lot of things right here, but the minimum price per spin if you want to squeeze the most out of this game is £/€1.90. A bit steep for some players perhaps, but you can always go for the golden middleway option of Hyperbet level 2, which costs £/€1.05 per spin.

Playing with Hyperbet level 1 seems kind of pointless, as you need multipliers wins to keep afloat in the base game.

It’s possible to land plenty of progressive sticky multiplier wilds in the free spins round, and still win close to nothing. However, the bonus round will build up to a very exciting climax once in a while, which makes you want to try again. Overall, Firedrake’s Fortune offers a good time if you can afford the highest Hyperbet level, as this is where the potential becomes respectable.

Pros

• 3 Hyperbet levels increase RTP, free spins and multipliers
• 10 spin cycles with expanding multiplier wild release
• Bonus round with progressive sticky multiplier wilds
• Win up to 7,408x your stake with Hyperbet level 3

Cons

• Hyperbet level 1 seems rather pointless
