Heroic Slot Machine
Dragons, wizards and a whole load of facial hair. It can mean only one thing – a slot machine with a fantasy adventure theme. True to its name, Heroic does indeed present a gambling game with some epic elements, particularly when it comes to the visually stunning graphical content.
However, there are few heroic feats on show when it comes to the bonus gameplay content of this 5-reel, 20-payline slot. Instead, you get the standard Nektan software set-up which involves nothing more than a few free spins and a wild symbol.
A Small Slot Of Epic Proportions
Set over a breathtaking backdrop of high peaking mountains and magnificent waterfalls, Heroic: Eye of the Dragon displays all of the ingredients necessary for an adventurous tale. There are dwarven warriors, a fine fair maiden, a wizened old wizard and a few fiery dragons too. As such, this slot machine has an fantastical aura of Tolkienian proportions.
It also has the graphics to match thanks to some crafty rendering work by Nektan software. The waterfalls in the distance tumble and crash to the rocks as the reels spin seamlessly to reveal the characters in fantastic clarity. Plus, the images appear like hand-drawn illustrations to help evoke a sense of magical charm about the characters.
A Pocket-seized Adventure
This Heroic slot machine is a particularly plucky little game since it is designed to be played on mobile platforms instead of on desktop computer screens. As such, the user interface is less cluttered to give more space to the reels and the action. Nonetheless, spinners can still access all of the necessary controls and information by tapping the small buttons which appear to the sides of the game screen.
Pressing the “Menu” option, for example, will lead players to the “Game Info” section where they can read all about the different payout values and special symbol characteristics. You can also study the each of the 20 paylines that the game uses. Tapping “Stake & Lines” allows players to use a scrolling menu to determine their desired number of active paylines and bet per line.
What Treasures Lie In Store?
There are 20 paylines in total to play with and the wager sizes range from 0.01 to 1.00. So, you can either play with a weak and feeble 0.01 bet per spin, or a brave and valiant 20-coin stake. Of course, the braver you are with your bets, you more lucrative your ultimate treasure hoard will be...
The loot is spread out rather disproportionately across the reel symbols. For example, the lowest value icons – 10 and J – will pay no more than 70x the value of the bet per line when five appear on a pay line. Five Qs will pay 80x while Ks and As will pay 90x. Even the two dwarf character icons will only pay 100x for five matching symbols. The prizes then hike quite dramatically. The female character icon pays up to 250x and the wizard will offer 500x. The most valuable icon of all is the Eye of the Dragon itself which is worth up to 1,000x the value of the line bet.
Finding five matching symbols in a row might feel like a Heroic feat in itself. But, luckily this game has a wild symbol at hand to help you fill in those paylines. This icon is represented by a dragon's egg and any payline which contains three wilds at once will only pay the highest winning value.
Awaken The Dragon To Fire Up Some Free Spins
As in any good quest, the main objective is to find the dragon's lair and steal the treasure within. So, like it or not, you will have to find as many fearsome dragon symbols as possible. Luckily, coming across three or more dragon icons will trigger a round of 10 free spins. Such an event will make our dragon foe very angry indeed. So angry in fact that he will turn the waterfalls to liquid lava. And while he's busy flipping his lid, you will have the perfect opportunity to grab as much treasure as you can thanks to some wager-less spins.
The Adventure Never Ends
Heroic: Eye of the Dragon may not be the most adventurous adventure game in the market, but it still provides an enjoyable round of spins for what it is. Of course, you can find all sorts of bonus features and explosive graphics on other similarly themed games, but few of those games are designed specifically for mobile-based playing. As such, this real money mobile slot gives players the chance to take the gambling adventure with them wherever their real life adventures take them.
