Finn and the Dragon Tales Slot Review – Free Play by NetEnt

Finn and the Dragon Tales Slot Facts

The Finn and the Dragon Tales slot from NetEnt pays up to 3800 times the stake at a 96.04% RTP, set on a 7x7 grid where Avalanches feed a key toward Bronze, Silver, or Gold free spins zones.

This is Finn’s fourth outing in the series, trading straightforward wilds for a Dragon Feature that transforms whole colour groups of symbols at once. It plays as a Medium volatility game built around escalating chain reactions rather than one single trigger.

Finn and the Dragon Tales Theme & Design

NetEnt keeps the leprechaun mythology going here, now with dragons woven into the folklore setting. The 7x7 grid gives the board a dense, tiled look well suited to matches that clear and refill rather than spin on fixed reels. Symbols are grouped into blue, red, and green colour families, a detail that feeds directly into how the Dragon Feature reads the board, while treasure chests and a spiralling key motif reinforce the sense of a hunt building toward a payoff. The overall tone stays whimsical and adventure-flavoured, consistent with the earlier games in the series.

How Finn and the Dragon Tales Plays

Every win of three or more matching symbols with no Wild already showing turns into an upgrade ahead of the following Avalanche: three symbols leave a Wild x1, four leave a Wild x2, and five or more produce a Dragon symbol carrying its own multiplier. The Dragon is where a session really turns, since landing one converts every symbol sharing its colour group into whatever type triggered it, spreading a win across several positions at once. Once that spread clears, any Dragons left on the board seed the reels with somewhere between two and four extra Random Wilds, each carrying a multiplier of its own. All the while, a Free Spins Key edges closer to the middle with each Avalanche, and reaching the Gold, Silver, or Bronze zone locks in the free spins round along with its own dedicated Dragon colour.

RTP, Volatility & Win Potential

A 96.04% RTP sits close to the industry average of around 96%, and the Medium volatility label points to a session with moderate swings rather than long droughts or wild spikes. A 26% hit frequency means a winning Avalanche lands on roughly one in four spins, keeping the reels active often enough to feel engaging. The 3800x maximum payout comes almost entirely from the Free Spins round, where treasure chests can stack multipliers, cash prizes, extra spins, and bonus Dragons on top of scattered wins that already touch multiple symbols at once.

Our Verdict on Finn and the Dragon Tales

This Finn and the Dragon Tales slot review points to a game for players who enjoy watching a mechanic escalate rather than waiting on a single bonus trigger. The layered Wild and Dragon system genuinely changes how each Avalanche can chain into the next, and Medium volatility keeps the 96.04% RTP from feeling punishing. The tradeoff is a Free Spins path with several moving parts (keys, zones, colour groups) that takes a few sessions to fully read. Anyone curious can try the free demo on this page before deciding if the dragon mechanics fit their style.

Finn and the Dragon Tales Bonus Features & How They Work

Wild Feature

A win of three or four matching symbols, provided no Wild is already showing on the board, gets upgraded ahead of the following Avalanche. A three-symbol match leaves behind a Wild x1 sitting in the middle of where it landed; a four-symbol match leaves a Wild x2, positioned toward the bottom or right edge of the pattern depending on its shape. These wilds then substitute going forward, setting up the bigger conversions that follow.

Dragon Feature

Matching five or more symbols turns that win into a Dragon symbol instead of a plain wild, carrying a multiplier that can land at x1, climb to x2, or reach x5 depending on how long the match ran and which colour group it belonged to. Once placed, the Dragon flips every other symbol sharing its colour into the same type that triggered it, spreading a matching win across the board. Several Dragons landing together each apply their own multiplier only to the spread win they personally created.

Random Wilds

Once a Dragon-triggered spread win clears the board, any Dragon symbols still present join forces to seed somewhere between two and four Random Wilds onto the reels. Each of these carries its own multiplier, landing anywhere from x2 up through x3, x5, or as high as x10, adding value without needing any further trigger from the player.

Free Spins

A key symbol advances toward the middle as Avalanches clear, and landing it in the Gold, Silver, or Bronze zone locks in the round: Gold awards 10 free spins with a red Dragon, Silver awards 8 with a blue Dragon, and Bronze awards 5 with a green Dragon. Only gemstone and rock symbols appear during the round, and the central Dragon flips regulars into one matching type each spin. Destroyed rocks can uncover treasure chests adding multipliers, cash prizes, extra spins, or bonus Dragons.

Feature Buy

Five paid options let a player skip toward a specific outcome. Wild Hunt costs 5x the bet and guarantees at least one paying combination. Single Dragon and Double Dragon, priced at 10x and 50x the bet, guarantee one or two Dragon symbols appearing during regular play. Free Spins at 100x the bet guarantees the key lands in one of the three zones, while Gold Zone Free Spins at 300x the bet guarantees it lands specifically in Gold.
