Dio Killing The Dragon Slot Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Dio Killing The Dragon Review

The only relationship this reviewer has to Ronnie James Dio is a few listening sessions to his smash hit song, Holy Diver. We are not huge fans in other words, so our review will not be biased in that regard. Dio Killing The Dragon will probably appeal to fans though, and it’s another solid installment in Play’n Go’s impressive rock slot series.

The band was started by two ex-members of Black Sabbath, namely Dio himself and Vinny Appice, and it was formed in the US in 1982. The fantasy horror visuals have been captured nicely in this branded effort, and you get to hear songs like ‘Don’t Talk To Strangers’ and other hits. Sticky wilds abound in all stages via different features, and the bonus round also comes with 3 modifiers.

Dio Killing The Dragon Slot Features

The premium symbols consist of Dio as the top payer, as well as 3 monsters, and they pay between 0.5 and 1 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. You can land the Wolf Wild on all reels, and it steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The Wild is the most valuable symbol as well, awarding 2x your stake for 5 on a payline.

You trigger the Lock Up Wolves feature whenever a Wolf Wild lands in the open cage on reel 1.

You need 3, 4 or 5 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 6, 8 or 12 free spins, respectively. A cage is placed around the 3 middle reels, and any wilds that land on these reels become sticky for the duration of the feature. You can also land a special symbol on reel 5, and it awards +2 extra spins as well as 1 of 3 modifiers:

• Fallen Angel - adds a wild at the top of the first reel, and it drops down one position per spin that follows.
• Symbol Upgrade - upgrades the lowest value monster to the top-tier Dio symbol, and you’ll defeat the dragon if all monsters are upgraded.
• Wild Multiplier - upgrades a single sticky wild with +1 added to the multiplier, up to x5 at best.

Review Summary

The double-edged sword when creating these rock slots is the fact that they will many times not appeal to non-fans.

We don’t think this is the case for this release though, and it should appeal to whatever fanbase this heavy metal artist has in the online slot community anno 2022. That might not be too many though, but what do we know. Anyway, the bonus round is your best shot at cracking the solid 15,000x potential, since low symbol values require wild multipliers to make a dent. The win cap probability is 1 in 10 million though, and there are better rock slot alternatives from Play’n Go.

Pros

• Lock Up Wolves Wild feature
• FS w/ sticky wilds and 3 modifiers
• Win up to 15,000x (1 in 10M chance)

Cons

• Hardly for non-fans
• Customizable RTP ranges

If you love Dio Killing The Dragon Slot you should also try:

Holy Diver Megaways - is a Big Time Gaming installment that also features music from Dio, and the game’s title is also the name of one of his studio albums and hit songs. You get an innovative Reel Adventure feature, and the game comes with video game elements and a 23,306x potential.

Sabaton - was the very first branded release from Play’n Go, and it revolves around the Swedish power metal band by the same name. You get hard-hitting music and plenty of features, including a bonus round with mega symbols and a 5,000x potential.

KISS Reels of Rock - is another branded effort in Play’n Go’s rock slot range, and it comes with a somewhat unusual 2-3-4-4-3-2 grid and plenty of hit songs. The sense of being at a real concert is strong in this one, especially with a big screen and decent speakers.
