Draglings Introduction
This game is on fire! Draglings is another mythical and magical offering from game developers Yggdrasil. In this game, it's all about the dragons. It's available to play for free at Online Pokies 4U - just like the many other Free Pokies we have on the site.
The Look
Set in a cosy dark cave, Draglings is a beautifully created 3D pokie packed full of action. Many of the symbols move realistically, and the glowing light of dragon eggs reflects eerily off the stalactites and stalagmites lining the cave. Draglings features five reels and twenty pay lines, which is standard for most free pokies, but one major difference lies in the choice of symbols on the reels.
Most of the spaces are filled with a variety of dragon eggs: spherical, oblong, glowing green, red, blue or purple, these eggs have been incubated and are close to hatching! In addition to the eggs, you'll also see the 'Free Spins' symbol, which is a flaming ball of fire. The best parts of this game, however, are the 'draglings' themselves. Three baby dragons - one blue, one red and one purple - can appear randomly, so look out!
All of the action is accompanied by a sweeping orchestral theme. Part mystical, part children's theme, this piece of music adds the perfect dimension to the game. If you leave the game for too long, the cute burbling cries of the baby dragons will coax you into spinning that wheel - they want to play!
The Game
One difference you'll notice early on is that the spin button does not stop by itself but asks you to press 'stop' when you are ready. This adds some extra fun and responsibility to the game. As usual, you must match three or more symbols to get a payout, but you can also win up to seventy-five free spins by matching three or more 'Free Spin' symbols. The draglings make things even more interesting with their quirky charms.
The red dragon is a spreading Wild. When he appears, he will breathe fire on to other dragon eggs, waking them and releasing their powers. He can awaken a blue dragon that acts as a Wild card or a purple dragon who is an expanding Wild and develops into a fully grown dragon before your eyes, winning you a big payout!
The Developer
Yggdrasil is a game developer based in Sweden. They are well known for their attention to detail, and their dedication to creating beautifully intricate 3D graphics and Draglings is no exception. They aren't afraid to play around with the standard rules of the pokie world, and it is refreshing to see some of their new ideas for characters and bonuses.
Other Yggdrasil games include Magic Mushrooms, Nirvana and Seasons. A common theme throughout their range of games is the mythical world. The fact that their name is of Norse origin, meaning a tree that connects earth and heaven, is no surprise! Yggdrasil is one of the developers at the forefront of the movement to bring pokies to mobile devices and tablets.
You can play Draglings on desktop or mobile, so you can take those cute little dragon babies with you on your daily commute. Just watch out - they bite!
