What Dragon's Fire Megaways looks like
Images: Red Tiger, official game page and game files (redtiger.com).
A Megaways grid of up to 117,649 ways
Six reels, each landing up to seven symbols: that is the 6x7 shown under Reels/Rows on Red Tiger's page, and 117649 is the number it puts under Play lines max. The count of ways is not fixed; by the help it changes 'depending on the total number of symbols which land on the reels', and only seven symbols on every one of the six reels reach 117,649.
Red Tiger's third screenshot, mostly hidden by a BIG WIN banner, shows a spin far below that: the plaque under the logo reads 1680 MEGAWAYS, about 1.4% of the maximum by our arithmetic.
This is the Megaways edition of Red Tiger's own Dragon's Fire. Evolution's games site calls it a combination of the two, and the game's opening screen credits the mechanic with UNDER LICENCE FROM next to a BTG badge. Neither Red Tiger's figures nor the help mention a way to buy the free spins.
Fire Blast and Dragon's Kindness
The dragon's base-game event is the Fire Blast. The help: 'The dragon may randomly breathe FIRE onto the reels. Up to 3 reels may be ignited.' What the fire reveals depends on how many reels caught: up to 4 WILD symbols on each of the 3 ignited reels, or, 'if only 2 reels are ignited, the Fire Blast may reveal 2 Free Spins symbols for a chance to win the bonus round.' The help gives no odds for any of it.
Dragon's Kindness is a second helping hand towards the bonus. 'When two Free Spins symbols land in a spin, the dragon may randomly breathe fire into the reels to add one more Free Spins symbol and trigger the bonus round.' The help adds that this cannot happen during Free Spins.
The Dragon's Egg: a multiplier that builds on streaks
The Dragon's Egg Multiplier 'applies to all wins in a spin'. It switches on after a win and 'increases with each subsequent consecutive win up to a possible 50x win multiplier'. In the base game a spin without a win resets it. The help names no step size; Red Tiger's own screenshot of the free spins pick shows the egg at x2.
As an illustration with example amounts, a win worth R0.40 on a spin where the egg has reached 50x pays R20, our sum. In the base game the egg climbs only while wins keep coming in a row, and a single losing spin sends it back to the start.
The Dragon's Eye Boost can move the egg faster: 'On a winning spin, the Dragon's Eye Boost may randomly trigger and boost the current Dragon's Egg Multiplier by up to 10x.' The help gives neither how often it triggers nor its values.
Free spins: burning symbols and no reset 🎁
'Three FREE SPINS symbols anywhere on the reels trigger a random number of FREE SPINS. Pick a dragon symbol to determine how many Free Spins have been won.' Red Tiger's screenshot shows that pick as PICK ONE over three silver dragons. The help gives no range for the number of spins.
Two rules change inside the bonus. Symbols that form part of a winning way 'will burn up and be replaced by new falling symbols', and 'Each winning respin will also increase the Dragon's Egg Multiplier.' The egg is 'always activated during FREE SPINS' and does not reset after a non-winning free spin.
How the multiplier travels between the two modes
By the help, the egg links the two modes in this order:
- Into the bonus. If the egg is already active in the base game when Free Spins begin, its value is carried into the bonus.
- During Free Spins. It keeps building with each win, 'regardless of any non-winning Free Spins'.
- Back to the base game. At the end of the bonus the active multiplier goes back into the base game, where it keeps building with consecutive wins 'until the next non-winning spin'.
Red Tiger's numbers against Evolution's
The two sites of the group agree on the year, 2019, with Red Tiger dating the release 19 September 2019. They part on the rest: Red Tiger's page gives 95.72% RTP and an EXTREME volatility badge, Evolution's games site 94.68% and High. Neither site publishes a list of RTP builds or names the one South African casinos run, so trust the figure in the game's information screen at your casino.
Under Max payout Red Tiger prints '10 470 x bet'. Its own description and Evolution's both round that to over 10,000x, the words the game's opening screen shows in large letters. No cap appears in the help, so read 10,470x as the studio's figure: on a R2 stake it would be R20,940, by our arithmetic.
Red Tiger puts the hit frequency at 37.13%. Over a long run that is a win on a little more than one spin in three (100 divided by 37.13 is 2.69, our sum). The EXTREME badge does not contradict it: by our reading it describes how unevenly the return is shared out between those wins, not how often they come. No staking pattern or betting system changes that or beats the house edge; our RTP and volatility guide explains how the numbers fit together.

Pros, cons and verdict ⚖️
- Every win of a spin is multiplied by the Dragon's Egg, which can reach 50x
- Losing free spins leave the egg where it is, and winning symbols burn away for new ones
- An active multiplier travels from the base game into the bonus and back
- Wins land on 37.13% of spins over a long run, by Red Tiger's figure
- Red Tiger badges its volatility EXTREME
- Red Tiger says 95.72% RTP, Evolution's games site 94.68%
- Neither the number of free spins nor the egg's step is given in the help
- The free spins cannot be bought
Dragon's Fire Megaways rests on one idea: a multiplier that rewards streaks and is taken away by a single losing spin, until the free spins switch the reset off and let burning symbols keep the run going. Red Tiger pairs a 37.13% hit frequency with an EXTREME badge, so set your rand budget before the first spin.
Dragon's Fire Megaways FAQ ❓
How do free spins start in Dragon's Fire Megaways?
Three Free Spins symbols anywhere on the reels start them, and you pick a dragon to find out how many you get; the help gives no range. With two symbols, the dragon may add a third through Dragon's Kindness, and a Fire Blast on two reels may reveal two of them.
How does the Dragon's Egg Multiplier work?
It applies to all wins in a spin, switches on after a win and grows with each consecutive win up to 50x. In the base game a losing spin resets it; in free spins it does not, and an active multiplier carries between the two modes.
What does the Fire Blast do?
The dragon may breathe fire onto up to three reels at random. Each of three ignited reels can reveal up to four wilds; if only two reels are ignited, the fire may reveal two Free Spins symbols instead.
What is the biggest win Red Tiger lists for this game?
'10 470 x bet' is the Max payout on Red Tiger's page; the descriptions from Red Tiger and Evolution round it to over 10,000x. The help sets no cap, so treat it as the studio's figure. On a R2 stake that is R20,940, by our arithmetic.
Which RTP does Dragon's Fire Megaways have?
Two figures exist: 95.72% on Red Tiger's own page and 94.68% on Evolution's games site. Neither names RTP versions or which build a South African casino runs, so check the number in the game's information at your casino before a real-money spin.
