Popiplay Guns & Dragons Demo

Guns & Dragons intro screen with three feature cards, a caged dragon, three Scatters, and a lantern reading 10X
Arrows lead a red Dragon Rider to a caged purple dragon and on to a yellow Wild rider on the left card, the 10-spin cycle in three pictures; the middle card joins three skull-shield Scatters with plus signs, and the right card hangs an iron lantern reading 10X over five yellow Wild riders.

A wooden-and-brass cage drops over a cell each time a red-coated Dragon Rider lands, and in Guns & Dragons, that cage is where the slot keeps its value. The cell stays caged for a 10-spin cycle in the main game. When that cycle ends, the caged cells turn into Wilds. Until then, every cage on the grid is a Wild the game hasn’t handed over yet.

The reels sit in a Wild West canyon of red mesas under a blue sky. Its riders are cowboys in long coats, red scarves, and red gloves, each raising a silver revolver beside a silver dragon. A red coat marks the Dragon Rider, and a yellow coat marks the Wild. Five dragon eggs make up the low end (golden, spiked purple, crystal blue, lava, and green-veined), and the Scatter is a bone-white horned dragon skull on a red shield over two crossed silver revolvers.

Cages and Free Spins

Cage Cycle

Guns & Dragons reels with three caged Dragon Riders on reel 1 and a caged teal dragon on reel 4
Reel 1 holds three caged Dragon Riders stacked from the second row down, a cage covers a teal dragon at the bottom of reel 4, and skull-shield Scatters stand on reels 3 and 5; the caged cells turn Wild after the 10-spin cycle.

Each time a Dragon Rider drops onto the reels in the main game, a cage covers the cell it landed on, and the caged cells turn into Wilds after the 10-spin cycle. In the grid above, the bottom cell of reel 4 is caged around a teal dragon, and the symbol behind the bars can change from spin to spin while the cage stays where it is.

A Wild in this game matches the red dragon’s pays exactly, 10x when five land on a line, and it replaces any symbol in a winning line except the Scatter.

Extra Multiplier

When a Dragon Rider drops on a spot that a cage already covers, it raises the multiplier for that spin by 1. The Extra Multiplier applies to each winning combination, so every paying line on that spin takes the raised value, and it works in free spins as well. When a new cycle of 10 spins starts in the main game, it returns to 1x.

Free Spins

Scatters land only on the first, third, and fifth reels, and three of them trigger 10 free spins. Free spins can’t be re-triggered. Each Wild that lands during free spins becomes sticky and stays in its position until the end of the round, so Wilds that land early are still on the reels for the spins that follow.

Buy Levels

Buy Bonus offers three levels, and each one changes how free spins open.

Level What it adds
Level 1 3 Scatters drop on the reels and trigger free spins with a 1x multiplier
Level 2 A stack of 2×2 Wilds falls at a random place on the reels on the opening spin
Level 3 A stack of 3×3 Wilds falls at a random place on the reels on the opening spin

Judged on its table alone, this is a plain 20-line western, with a best symbol worth 10x for five and egg rows that stop at 1.5x. The cage cycle earns it back by giving the main game a 10-spin plan to follow, and that plan is the best reason to give the demo some free play. The limit is a bonus round of 10 spins with no retrigger, and the game states its top end in one line, “The maximum possible multiplier in the game is x 2,800.” For a Popiplay slot that puts so much into the main game, that’s a modest figure, and it keeps Guns & Dragons at 3.5/5.

How to Play

Consecutive Reels

The Wild and the red dragon are the two symbols in this game that pay for a pair, 0.05x, and every other paying symbol needs three. A win starts on reel 1 and continues across consecutive reels along one of the 20 lines, and each line pays only its highest win. The Dragon Rider’s job is the cages, each one held for a 10-spin cycle during the main game, while the Scatter’s job is free spins.

RTP

The smallest stake is 0.20, the largest 50.00. The game’s theoretical RTP is 95.48%. Buying the bonus costs between 50x and 400x the bet, depending on which of the three levels you pick.

Guns & Dragons Paytable

The dragons split into three pay bands above the eggs, and the eggs finish level at 1.5x for five whichever colour lands. Each figure below is x the full stake.

Symbol 2 3 4 5
Wild 0.05x 1x 2.5x 10x
Red dragon 0.05x 1x 2.5x 10x
Gold dragon, teal dragon – 0.25x 1.25x 3.75x
Purple dragon, green dragon, hat, claw necklace – 0.25x 1x 3x
Golden egg – 0.25x 0.5x 1.5x
Purple, blue, lava, and green eggs – 0.1x 0.5x 1.5x

The Dragon Rider and the skull-shield Scatter are left out of the table above, as neither one has a pay value.
