Picture a stone arch carved into a mountainside, a pile of gold coins spilling along the bottom of the reels, and a red cartoon dragon called Ruff lounging beside the grid like he owns the place. He kind of does. A Dragon's Story is NextGen Gaming's 2015 fantasy slot (now sitting in the Light and Wonder catalogue), and it builds its whole identity around a row of Little Dragons perched under the reels that breathe fire upward to burn ordinary symbols into Wilds.
The setup is classic: 5 reels, 3 rows, 25 fixed paylines. Stakes run from a penny up to a hefty $1,250 per spin, so it scales for casual sessions and serious bankrolls alike. Base RTP sits at 95.22%, which is below average, honestly. The catch? Engage SuperBet and that figure climbs. Level 1 (10 extra coins) bumps it to 95.33% and seeds Little Dragons under reels 2, 3 and 4. Level 2 (25 extra coins) reaches 95.62% and puts a fire-breather under every reel. Default play gives you just one hatchling, parked beneath reel 3.
Volatility lands in the medium-high band, and the maths supports that. Ruff himself is the Wild, paying up to 2,000x for five in a line and substituting for everything except the scatter. The scatter is a glowing purple Jewel that pays from any position, peaking at a chunky 2,500x your line bet for five. Land three or more and you unlock 10 Free Games where every prize is doubled, additional Little Dragons swarm the reel base, and retriggers stay on the table.
Then there's the random side dish. After any paid spin, Brave Sir William might wander into frame and offer you a pick: choose a fireball for Ruff to breathe, and prizes ranging from 50x up to 1,250x your bet drop out. Is 1,250x life-changing on a 2015 release? No. But as a surprise bolt-on, it keeps base play from feeling flat.
Top potential caps at 2,500x, which is modest by today's standards. And yes, the storybook art looks a bit dated next to modern cinematic releases. Still, the Little Dragons mechanic genuinely changes how spins play out, and the SuperBet trade-off (pay more, win more often) gives you a real lever. Worth a look if you like older NextGen titles with character.
