Dragons are so absurdly overpowered that they function as a narrative trump card. They fly, they burn cities, they ignore conventional weapons, and they routinely wipe out entire armies on their own. To kill them, there’s always a forgotten scorpion bolt, a magic spear, or a specific scale that never hardened properly. Can we just not do dragons anymore?

While in fiction they suck, in a slot game, having an all-powerful teammate sounds great. But is the dragon your friend or foe in the Legacy of Undead Dragon ABYSSWAYS slot from Play’n Go.

Take to the skies

ABYSSWAYS isn’t a new mechanic, with Play’n GO featuring it in a number of other slots. The mechanic is only active during the slot’s free spins feature and adds a random number of symbols to each reel, meaning the total number of winning combinations changes from spin to spin, up to as many as 1,456 ways.

The Haunted Gold slot is triggered through Coin symbols appearing anywhere on the reels. Each Coin symbol carries a chance to activate the Sleeping Dragon, immediately awarding a cash prize valued between 3x and 25x your current bet.

Dragon’s Wrath can be triggered randomly on any non-winning spin. When triggered, you are awarded a respin, during which the grid expands from its standard 6×4 layout to a full 6×6 configuration. During this respin, the Undead Dragon passes across the reels and places a random number of wild symbols onto the reels.

The slot’s free spins feature is triggeredwith three or more scatter symbols. Three scatters award six free spins, four award eight, five award ten, and six award twelve. At the start of each free spin, a random selection of symbols along the bottom of the reels is highlighted. Once the spin resolves, all highlighted symbols drop away, temporarily reducing the reel height. Before the next free spin begins, a full row of symbols is added to the top of the grid, progressively increasing the reel size up to a maximum of 6×6.

Throughout the free spins feature, any wild symbols created by the Undead Dragon remain sticky for the duration of your round. Each completed free spin increases the multiplier value attached to wild symbols by one. When a wild symbol contributes to a winning combination, its multiplier is applied to your winning amount.

Is the Legacy of Undead Dragon ABYSSWAYS slot friend or foe?

The Legacy of Undead Dragon Abyssways slot feels like the reliable fourth sequel that turns up, does its job, and politely reminds you that the earlier films had slightly bigger explosions. If you already enjoy the Abyssways format, you will find the familiar rhythm of shrinking reels, expanding grids, and sticky Wilds quietly multiplying away reassuring. 

The dragon looks the part, the features behave themselves, and nothing is outright wrong, but you may still catch yourself glancing back at the earlier entries with their flashier themes and chunkier win potential. In short, it is a perfectly competent dragon, just not the one breathing the biggest fire in the room. I give this one an eight out of ten.

If you’re looking for a few other dragon-themed slots, I recommend Finn and the Dragon Tales and Smoking Dragon
