Dragon Hatch 2 review
Edited by Daniel MorganFounder & Editor
Dragon Hatch 2 is a 2024 video slot from PG Soft on a 5 by 5 board with cascading wins and sticky Wilds. It lists a 96.76% RTP, Medium volatility and a top prize of 2,500x the bet. No demo plays on this page. Below: how the grid and four dragon features are described, what a session costs, and how the sequel differs from the first Dragon Hatch.
How to play Dragon Hatch 2
The studio describes a square board of five columns and five rows. Wins are tied to collecting winning symbols, and the design leans on cascading: symbols that take part in a win make room for further wins. Sticky symbols and Wild symbols are the other two named building blocks.
The story behind the game is a dragon queen sealed in stone, three dragon eggs and a hunt for a dragon's eye gem. It is background colour, and it matters less than the mechanics. The studio's rules text does not publish a paytable, symbol values or the exact way clusters or lines are counted, so none of that is described here.
Dragon Hatch 2 dragon features
PG Soft ties four features to the act of collecting winning symbols: Earth Dragon, Water Dragon, Fire Dragon and Dragon Queen. The page does not say how many symbols must be collected, in what order the features appear or what each one does in detail. Those specifics sit in the in-game info screen, not in the text used for this review.
Earth, Water and Fire Dragon Features
Three separate dragon features that are triggered by collecting winning symbols. The studio presents them as the core of the game, but it does not explain their individual effects in the published rules.
Dragon Queen Feature
The fourth named feature, also triggered through collected winning symbols. It shares its name with the queen in the story, but the studio does not say how it differs from the other three.
Cascading and sticky Wilds
Cascading symbols let one winning spin lead to more wins, and sticky Wild symbols stay in place rather than vanishing. How long they stay is not stated in the published text.
Dragon Hatch 2 RTP and volatility
The recorded RTP is 96.76%, which means the game keeps 3.24% of all money staked over time. Put as a price: a player who stakes $1,000 in total should expect to be down about $32.40 by the end. The volatility label is Medium.
A 100-spin session costs, on average, $0.65 with a $0.20 bet, $3.24 with a $1 bet and $16.20 with a $5 bet. Medium volatility makes the spread around those figures noticeable, so actual sessions differ.
Dragon Hatch 2 max win
Dragon Hatch 2 tops out at 2,500x the bet. That works out to $500 on a $0.20 bet, $2,500 on $1 and $12,500 on $5. It is the largest result a round can produce, and no hit frequency is published to show how near it gets.
Dragon Hatch 2 vs Dragon Hatch
The first Dragon Hatch (2020) lists 96.83% RTP, Medium volatility and a 15,000x max win. The sequel gives up a little RTP and a large part of the ceiling: 2,500x is a sixth of 15,000x. Both carry the Medium label.
Other dragon-themed games in the catalogue sit nearby. Fortune Dragon (2024) lists 96.74% and 2,500x, Dragon Legend (2018) lists 97.15% and 3,000x, and Dragon's Luck Power Reels lists 96.1% and 3,888x. All are Medium.
Pros
- Four named dragon features tied to collecting winning symbols
- Cascading wins and sticky Wild symbols on a 5 by 5 grid
- 96.76% RTP, a 3.24% house edge
- Medium volatility
Cons
- No demo on this page
- Feature details and symbol values are not in the published rules
- 2,500x max win is far below the first Dragon Hatch at 15,000x
Verdict
Dragon Hatch 2 swaps the reel format for a 5 by 5 board, adds four dragon features and keeps the volatility at Medium. The RTP is 96.76%, with a 2,500x cap, so it suits someone who wants a feature-led game with a modest ceiling. It is paid entertainment with a 3.24% house edge, and the figures above show the average cost of a session.
