Games Global and AreaVegas Games unleash the mythical beast in Area Link™ Dragon
Games Global’s exclusive studio AreaVegas Games has launched Area Link™ Dragon, the latest title in its popular Area Link™ series that captivates players with its stunning mythical design and plethora of features.
Set against a volcanic backdrop, the 5×3 reelset is adorned with vibrant gemstones, treasure chests, and fireballs, all spinning by under the watchful eye of the dragon.
The Area Link™ feature takes centre stage, with each varying colour of fireball responsible for cracking one of the four dragon eggs, in turn triggering a unique lock and re-spin bonus round. These are activated at random when one or more fireballs land on the reels, elevating the suspense of each spin and truly enhancing the player experience.
With each bonus round, the player will be awarded three re-spins and tasked with landing as many fireball symbols as possible. Each comes with a monetary value and will remain sticky throughout the re-spins. Every time an additional fireball symbol lands, the number of re-spins will reset to three.
Cracking the green dragon egg will result in a random multiplier of x2, x3, or x5 applied to each new fireball that lands, boosting the winning potential. Activating the purple egg will reward players with an additional Area Link™ grid that plays out independently, offering more opportunities to win.
The red dragon upgrade leads to the collection of all yellow fireball symbols, while triggering the blue upgrade will see the monetary values added to every fireball symbol that lands. In addition, filling the entire grid with fireball symbols will land players the Grand Jackpot.
AreaVegas Games’ new release builds on an expanding portfolio of titles that benefit from the Area Link™ feature, including fan-favourites Area Link™ Piggy Bank, Area Link™ Phoenix, and Area Link™ Luck.
Area Link™ Dragon effortlessly blends a classic mythical theme and AreaVegas’ cutting-edge mechanics with seamless gameplay and huge winning potential, all contributing to an optimal experience to enhance the offering of Games Global’s partners.
From the founders of SpinPlay Games and inspired by the glitz, the glam, and the games of Las Vegas, AreaVegas is an up-and-coming studio that is dedicated to giving players a premium gaming experience.
Christos Fydanakis, Commercial Director at SpinPlay Games, said: “We are delighted to release the newest addition in our Area Link™ collection, which not only offers players a spectacular visual experience, but also features stimulating gameplay to match. This new title comes as an upgrade of the already successful portfolio of Area Link™ games, with a new feature added in the base game, and a brand-new math model from the founders of SpinPlay Games to ensure an amazing player journey.
“Players will enjoy the sheer number of feature variants which means every gameplay session will be unique, while the amazing animations and sounds will satisfy even the most demanding slot enthusiasts.”
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “AreaVegas Games is renowned for its development of innovative new titles, and Area Link™ Dragon is yet another example of this.
“The Area Link™ series has already proven a success for our operators, and this addition will no doubt supplement our games portfolio further as Games Global continues to enhance its offering.”
