Finn and the Dragon Tales review
NetEnt calls this Finn's fourth adventure, released in 2025 on a 7x7 grid. Instead of waiting for a bonus, the base game turns every sizeable win into a feature: a match of three, four or five-plus symbols becomes a wild or a dragon before the next avalanche. Those dragons then change the board by themselves. The listed volatility is High and the top win is 3,800x the bet, so the design leans on frequent small events rather than one huge round.
Wins that turn into features
In the main game, a win match of three or more symbols, when no wild is on the reels, triggers one of three features. The size of the match decides which one. The match is replaced before the next avalanche starts, so each result changes what the board looks like when it refills.
Wild x1
Set off by a match of three symbols. The match is replaced by a Wild x1 symbol in the middle position.
Wild x2
Set off by a match of four symbols. A Wild x2 replaces the match. In a vertical match it sits second from the bottom; in a horizontal match it sits second from the right.
Dragon Feature
Set off by five or more symbols. A Dragon symbol replaces the match, carrying a x1, x2 or x5 multiplier. The multiplier depends on the length of the match and the colour group of the symbols (blue, red or green) that it replaces.
What a dragon does
When a dragon lands, every symbol on the reels in the same colour group is transformed into the symbol type of the match that created it. That produces a scattered win, meaning the transformed symbols pay wherever they sit. With more than one dragon on the reels, each multiplier applies only to the scattered win of that same dragon.
Once a scattered win leaves the play area, the dragons together place between 2 and 4 Random Wilds on top of existing symbols. Each wild may carry a x2, x3, x5 or x10 multiplier. So a big match can end in a chain: dragon, scattered win, new wilds, then more avalanches.
The key and the free spins
According to the studio, every win moves a magical key closer to the Bronze, Silver or Gold zones. Reaching a zone awards up to 10 free spins with powerful dragons. In the round, dragons create scattered wins and treasure chests can offer multipliers, prizes, extra spins or bonus dragons.
The detailed rules for the key and the free spins are cut off in the text we have, so we state only what the studio summary says. The studio lists a feature buy option, with bets from €0.20 to €120.00.
Maths and sessions
One RTP is on record, 96.04%, which is a house edge of 3.96%. That comes to about $39.60 lost per $1,000 wagered over a long run. Across 100 spins the average cost is $0.79 at $0.20, $3.96 at $1 and $19.80 at $5.
The max win is 3,800x the bet: $760 at $0.20, $3,800 at $1 and $19,000 at $5. With a 26% hit frequency and High volatility, winning spins are not constant, and the avalanche chains are where larger results come from.
Comparable High volatility games
Irish Pot Luck lists 96.06% with a 5,000x top win. Twister and Big Bang Boom each reach 4,300x at 96.04% and 96.07%. Divine Fortune Megaways sits at 96.09% with 4,500x, and Gonzo's Gold at 96.11% with 3,484x. 101 Candies shows 96.08% and 3,580x. All of these are rated High.
Pros
- Base wins turn into wilds or dragons, so the base game has its own features
- Dragon multipliers of x1, x2 or x5 and random wilds up to x10
- Up to 10 free spins from the key zones
- Wide bet range of €0.20 to €120.00
Cons
- Max win of 3,800x is lower than several games with similar RTP
- The Dragon Feature needs a match of five or more symbols
- Full free spins rules are not covered by the source text we hold
Verdict
Finn and the Dragon Tales is a feature-rich avalanche slot on a 7x7 grid, where wilds and dragons appear in the base game and a key meter leads to the free spins. The 96.04% RTP and High volatility are in line with its closest peers, with a 3.96% house edge, about $39.60 per $1,000. The 3,800x ceiling is modest, so it suits players who want a busy game with moderate swings.
