The most famous heavy metal singer in the world, Ronnie James DIO is calling all the dragon fighters among video slot enthusiasts to help him defeat Murray the Dragon and win up to 15,000x the bet. DIO - Killing The Dragon is a high volatility game that comes with an RTP of 96.25%. Playable from $0.10 per spin, the 2022 release offers a neat package of extras.
Look for the Wolf Wild to trigger the Lock up the Wolves feature. Scatters will trigger the Free Spins feature with Special Symbols, Sticky Wilds, Fallen Angels, Wild Multipliers, and Symbol Upgrades. Enjoy We Rock, Evil Eyes, and Don’t Talk to Strangers as you spin the reels.
The moment you start playing the game, you will find yourselves in front of Dragon’s Castle. DIO is presented as the knight that is armed and prepared for the battle. The visuals and the soundtrack will be enjoyed by every heavy metal fan among players. DIO is the top-paying regular symbol, followed by the Green Dragon, and two other Monsters. Card suits represent the low-value icons. The Wolf is the Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols. The Red Monster is the Scatter that triggers the Free Spins feature. Expect Special Symbols on reel 5 during free spins.
If you decide to join DIO and start the battle against the Dragon, you will have to learn several important rules that will keep you safe during your adventure. When you get in front of the castle, you will find a 5x3 grid that benefits from 243 ways to win. If you want to win payouts, you need to land matching symbols on adjacent reels, beginning from the leftmost reel. Three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts.
Betting starts at $0.10 per spin. The biggest possible wager is $100. The control panel is pretty standard. If you had the pleasure of playing any other Play’n GO product, you will have no problem finding everything you need. Activate fast play to speed the game up a bit. Go to Autoplay and activate up to 100 automatic spins.
Land the Wolf Wild on the first reel (notice that the first reel is framed with a golden cage), and the Wild will become sticky, triggering a respin. The cage moves to the subsequent reel. If you manage to land a Wild on the second reel, the process is repeated. Players may trigger up to 4 successive respins, adding Wilds to all 5 reels.
Trigger the Free Spins feature by landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters. Depending on the number of Scatters landed, players will get 6, 8, or 12 free spins. During the feature, every Wild that appears on reels 2-4 becomes sticky and remains on its position.
Land a Special Symbol on reel 5 to get one of three modifiers and 2 extra freebies. The Fallen Angel feature will add a Wild on reel 1, which becomes sticky. It will move one position down the reel during each free spin, until it falls off the reel.
If you get Symbol Upgrade from the Special Symbol, the lowest Monster symbol on the reels will be upgraded to DIO. This continues until all Monster symbols on the reels are upgraded to DIO. Once that happens, DIO will defeat the Dragon.
The third modifier you may get from the Special Symbol is Wild Multiplier. It will add a 1x-5x multiplier on a random Sticky Wild on one of the three central reels.
Punters who are not prepared to enter the Dragon’s castle should know that the game can be played from a safe distance. The 2022 release is playable across all devices. It fits perfectly to smaller screens and loses none of its quality when played on handheld gadgets.
