Dragon’s Element Deluxe Slot Review

Dragon's Element Deluxe - Game Overview

When I first loaded Dragon's Element Deluxe, it felt like a proper sequel to the original, not a simple reskin. The slot uses a 6x4 layout with 50 fixed ways to win, and sticks with the familiar mix of card ranks and mythological creatures. Under the hood you get medium volatility, a 95% RTP, and a max win of 2,042x your stake.

Betting in Dragon's Element Deluxe ranges from £1 up to £100 per spin, so it leans more towards standard and high rollers than penny players. I like having the Buy Feature sitting there as well, letting you purchase instant free spins for 52x your chosen stake. Between the steady base game and the hit-or-miss jackpots, the slot feels suited to longer sessions rather than quick hit-and-run spins.

How to Play Dragon's Element Deluxe Slot

Getting started with Dragon's Element Deluxe is straightforward even if you have not touched the first game. I set my stake using the coin buttons, then hit the big circular spin control to get the 6x4 grid moving. There is a smaller button for 25 to 100 auto-spins, and a fast-forward option that cuts down the reel animations if you prefer a snappier pace.

Whenever I sit down with Dragon's Element Deluxe, I always check the paytable and rules through the menu icon with three lines. From there you can read about Wild Connect, jackpots, and free spins, as well as track your game history. Audio and screen controls sit close by, letting you mute the oriental soundtrack or switch to full-screen mode without interrupting the flow of the session.

Symbols and Payouts in Dragon's Element Deluxe

Dragon's Element Deluxe is packed with thirteen main symbols, and I like how clear the pay structure feels once you have glanced through it. The six lower-paying icons are card ranks from nine up to ace, needing three to six of a kind on one of the 50 lines. These pay from around 5 to 25 times the line bet when you land full six-symbol wins.

The premium picture symbols in Dragon's Element Deluxe bring the board to life. Lotus and dragonfly icons can pay 10 to 50 times your bet per line, while the toad and turtle climb up to 75 times. The golden Koi tops the lot with up to 100 times per line. Wilds share that top value, scatters can grant 2 to 100 times your total stake, and overall wins cap out at 2,042x.

When I am spinning Dragon's Element Deluxe for cash, I always pay close attention to where symbols land on the reels. Wins need at least three matching icons on adjacent reels starting from the left, which keeps things familiar. Wild dragons can form their own winning combinations on top of helping others, and they often appear stacked, so a couple of good rows can swing a fairly average session.

Dragon's Element Deluxe Bonus Features

In my sessions on Dragon's Element Deluxe, the Wild Connect feature has carried most of the memorable hits. Land two or more non-adjacent wilds on the same row and everything between them turns wild before wins are evaluated. This can happen in both base game and free spins, and when the screen fills up with dragons you are suddenly staring at Dragon Jackpots rather than simple line wins.

The free spins round in Dragon's Element Deluxe comes from landing three to six scatters on consecutive reels from the left, awarding 10, 15, 25, or 50 spins. Extra scatters during the bonus add 5 up to 50 more. Jackpots sit on top, paying 50x, 150x, or 1,500x your bet for Minor, Major, and Grand when wilds cover four, five, or all six reels, and you can even buy straight into this feature.

Dragon's Element Deluxe RTP & Volatility

From a numbers angle, Dragon's Element Deluxe sticks fairly close to the first release. The RTP sits at 95%, slightly under the market average, while volatility is classed as medium, drifting towards the higher side when jackpots enter the picture. In practice I have found the slot capable of regular small to mid-sized hits, with the odd streak of dead spins when the wilds refuse to connect.

Dragon's Element Deluxe Slot - Design & Atmosphere

Visually, Dragon's Element Deluxe feels like the original has been given a proper refresh. You still get the same Chinese landscape with mountains, waterfalls, and soft clouds in the background, but the artwork feels sharper and more detailed now. The symbols have been reworked too, keeping the same turtle, frog, koi and friends while polishing them enough that the whole screen looks more modern without losing its relaxed vibe.

When I settle in with Dragon's Element Deluxe for a long grind, the soundtrack and animations do their job nicely. The gentle oriental music and subtle reel effects never become tiring, even when auto-spins are running in the background. Combined with the smooth movement of wilds spreading across the reels, the game strikes a good balance between chilled ambience and the excitement of watching for that full-screen dragon hit.

Dragon's Element Deluxe Slot Review Summary

I came away from Dragon's Element Deluxe feeling that Platipus had respected what made the first game work while tightening a few loose screws. Wild Connect and the three jackpots keep spins engaging, and the option to buy free spins appeals when I am in a high-risk mood. The trade-off is a modest top prize and sub-par RTP, so I treat it as a fun, feature-packed grinder rather than a jackpot hunt.
