Conclusion Wrap up

We admit to being much more of a fan of the more traditional 5 reel slot with a good storyline but we enjoyed this game a bit. The free spins round was pretty fun and very rewarding. We really like the gamble option and used it a few times to double our wins. Those times we gambled and chose wrong, well it was our choice.

This game provides a lot of active features and the exploding blocks does add to the thrill of the win. You can try this game at any casino with Dragon games.
