DRAGON HOPPER SLOT: OVERVIEW
Last Updated: January 20, 2025Written by Stephen Cummings
The SlotsHawk team love all dragon themed slots and when we saw Dragon Hopper available as a new slot at Casumo Casino, we jumped straight on it. Dragon Hopper is a very pro-active slot with lots of features and plenty of wins. In fact, Dragon Hopper is the best slot we have played so far this year.
This Dragon Hooper slot review will tell you everything you need to know so that you can make an informed decision on whether to play or not.
DRAGON HOPPER: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Unfortunately, our recording equipment failed us when we recorded this game for the official SlotsHawk YouTube channel. Unfortunate, but you can see our write up below.
Cluster Pays slots are among are favourite here at SlotsHawk because there is lots of action from every spin. During our playthrough we had a lot of fun and managed to trigger two bonus games. However, one of our favourite aspects of Dragon Hopper is how good the base game is. We hit a 170x win as well as a 50x win during the base game. A lot of online slots these days are just about spinning and spinning until you hit the bonus game, but not this one.
Although our bonus game wins were small, there is plenty of room for big wins here, especially given that repsins are available here too. We used the Push Bet feature to guarantee us one Dragon and scatter symbol per spin too which meant that our 20p bet per spin was increased to 50p per spin.
Overall, we found Dragon Hopper to be one of the top online slot games and we can highly recommend this one. We finished our session with a win of £29.50.
DRAGON HOPPER FEATURES
Dragon Hopper by Push Gaming is a very modern slot with plenty of new features, which we have outlined for you below.
PUSH BET
Like all slots from Push Gaming, you have the opportunity to pay a little extra to get a guaranteed Wild symbol and Scatter symbol on each spin. In Dragon Hopper, the wild symbol comes in the form of a hopping dragon whilst the scatter symbol will unlock the bonus game if you hit three or more of them on the reels.
CASCADING AND COLLAPSING
When Cluster Wins occur, symbols that contribute to any win are removed from the reels and replaced by new symbols, all collapsing downwards. This can result in unlimited wins.
DRAGON WILD SYMBOLS
The Dragon and Golden Dragon symbols are wild’s which can substitute for all other symbols bar the Fire Cloud and Bonus symbols. All wild symbols have a multiplier associated with them which will be applied to any wins they are associated with. The Dragon symbol can have any of the following multipliers attributed to it: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x.
FIRE CLOUD SYMBOL
This is a non-paying symbol. When a Fire Cloud symbol is in view along with a Dragon Symbol, the Dragon Feature is triggered.
DRAGON FEATURE
During this feature (which occurs often) the Dragon symbol will fly to the nearest Fire Cloud, leaving a Golden Dragon symbol and its multiplier.
INSTANT PRIZES
These symbols are bet multipliers and look like coins on the reels. When you form a cluster of at least five of these symbols, a win will be paid out. Instant prizes can come in the following values: 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, 1,000x.
BONUS/SCATTER SYMBOLS
When three or more bonus symbols land anywhere on the reels, the free spins feature is triggered.
FREE SPINS FEATURE
Landing three scatter symbols will trigger six free spins. Four scatters will trigger 9 free spins and five scatter symbols will award 12 free spins.
When the free spins game begins, the Dragon symbol, Golden Dragon symbols, Fire Clouds and instant prize symbols from the base game will stay in the same position in the free spins with their respective values.
Each empty space during free spins can be occupied by any of the following symbols:
- Fire Cloud symbol
- Instant prize symbol
- Extra spins symbol
- Blank symbol
DRAGON HOPPER RETURN TO PLAYER (RTP) AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
The only real negative aspect of Dragon Hopper is its low RTP of 94.28%. On the plus side, Dragon Hopper does have a maximum potential payout of up to 10,000x making it one of the best paying slots released so far this year.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING DRAGON HOPPER FOR REAL MONEY
Although there are no strategies which will guarantee wins, we do recommend activating the Push Bet feature to guarantee yourself a Scatter and Wild symbol on the reels each spin. We also recommend playing Dragon Hopper at Casumo Casino, as it is one of only a few casinos which have the rights to the game from Push Gaming. Casumo also offers one of the best slots apps in the UK.
EXTRA INFO
Dragon Hopper 2 is played on 7 reels and 7 rows and is a Cluster Pays slot developed by Push Gaming. There is an abundance of modern slot features here including Instant Prizes, Cascading and Collapsing reels as well as repsins and hopping symbols. The maximum bet is £12 per spin whilst the minimum bet is 20p per spin.
Key information on Dragon Hopper you should includes its RTP of 94.28%, max payout of up to 10,000x your bet and its volatility level which is medium/high. The hit rate is quite high and multiple wins from a single spin are a possibility. Dragon Hopper was released on 16/01/2025 by Push Gaming.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Simply put, our favourite slot release of the year so far. Dragon Hopper has an excellent base game and bonus game, both of which come with all the features. The medium/high volatility means a good hit-rate plus high opportunities for big wins.”
