Dragon’s Tavern Slot Review

Introduction to Dragon's Tavern

Dragon's Tavern is a 3 reel, 3 row slot from Evoplay with 7 fixed paylines and a foodie twist, and I have spent a fair bit of time at this digital bar. Every spin uses a cascading action with a progressive multiplier that climbs with each consecutive drop, so even a small starting hit can turn into a chunky sequence if the symbols keep falling your way.

In Dragon's Tavern slot the feature set feels surprisingly rich for such a compact grid. You get four high paying and five low paying symbols, wilds, scatters, win multipliers, a free spins round and that tall Nudging Wild. The top advertised win is just over 2,100 times stake, and you can load the game either in demo mode for practice or for real money when you are ready to stake cash.

Dragon's Tavern Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

When I open Dragon's Tavern the first thing that hits me is the cosy tavern setting, with the reels laid out on a wooden table while a conveyor belt feeds plates of food across the top. Winning symbols are 'eaten' and vanish as new dishes drop in, which fits the cascade mechanic nicely. The dragon chef wild in his hat, creaking doors and a gentle medieval style soundtrack give the game a laid back pub feel.

Dragon's Tavern RTP and variance

On paper Dragon's Tavern comes with an RTP around 95.85 per cent, so slightly under the figure I see on many modern slots, and volatility that sits in the medium to high bracket. The max win hovers around 2,000 to 2,123 times your stake, depending on which description you read, so this is not a monster jackpot hunt but there is still decent hit potential on a good run.

In practice the progressive multiplier does the heavy lifting in Dragon's Tavern, and it is that meter above the grid that decides whether a session feels flat or fiery. Each consecutive cascade nudges the multiplier up by one step, up to a cap of x30, before dropping back when no new win lands. When I string together several drops in a row the balance can move sharply even on fairly modest stake sizes.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins in Dragon's Tavern

In Dragon's Tavern I set my stake using the slider or coin buttons, with bets starting at 0.10 and going up as high as 300 per spin, while the seven paylines stay fixed. Wins pay from left to right for two or three matching symbols on a line. Because of the cascade mechanic each spin can actually deliver a chain of payouts, all calculated as multiples of the total bet level.

The paytable in Dragon's Tavern splits into low paying plate symbols and tastier dishes. On the lower side you have wooden plates painted with 10, J, Q, K and A in different coloured sauces. Landing three of these across a line returns between 0.5 and 1 times the bet, while hitting only two of a kind gives small payouts down at 0.1 or 0.2 times your stake, so they mainly keep the balance ticking.

The meat shank, spaghetti, pies and burger form the high paying set in Dragon's Tavern. Two or three of these can pay from 0.5 up to 8 times the total bet, with the burger sitting at the top of the menu. Wild symbols share that same 1 to 8 times payout range and stand in for regular symbols, while the bell scatter is only there to trigger free spins rather than award direct cash prizes.

Dragon's Tavern Bonus feature

In my experience the free spins round is where Dragon's Tavern really wakes up. Three bell scatters anywhere on the grid give 7 free spins, and the cascade mechanic with its win multiplier carries over into the bonus. Here the 3 row Nudging Wild appears, always shifting to cover a full reel and then leaving behind standard wilds on any non winning positions, so big chained wins with multipliers can rack up very quickly.

Dragon's Tavern review

From a seasoned player's point of view, Dragon's Tavern sits somewhere between classic fruit machine style play and more feature heavy video slots. The 3x3 layout and seven lines feel simple, yet the cascades, progressive multiplier and Nudging Wild give the game plenty of depth. The slightly lower RTP and lack of retriggers on the free spins are the main drawbacks, so I would class it as a session slot rather than a marathon grinder.

For players who enjoy watching small hits snowball thanks to multipliers, Dragon's Tavern slot can be very satisfying, especially when a single spin triggers several cascades in the bonus. I tend to use modest stakes and treat it as a medium risk game, chasing those x30 multiplier moments rather than flat line big symbol hits. If you like compact grids with engaging mechanics, this tavern is well worth a session at the bar.
