Slot Summary

Choosing the dragon or phoenix Wild is the defining decision in Dragon vs Phoenix, a Tom Horn Gaming video slot that gives its two mythic creatures different spatial effects. Its 95.06% RTP, medium volatility, and x5684 maximum frame a game whose identity comes from that contrast: the dragon expands vertically, while the phoenix creates a square Wild area.
MechanicsChoose between vertical and square Wild expansion

How It Plays

Before a base-game spin, the player may activate either the dragon or phoenix Wild. Only one creature can be selected, so the choice determines which expansion pattern is available.

The dragon Wild can land on the 1st or 4th reel and expand across 3 cells. The phoenix can appear on the 2nd or 3rd reel and form a randomly directed 2x2 Wild area.

Theme & Atmosphere

Dragon vs Phoenix draws on Asian mythology, presenting the two creatures as opposing guardians of treasure rather than interchangeable decorative figures.

Fantasy and Fire reinforce the contest between the dragon and phoenix, while the wider Asia setting gives their contrasting powers a clear cultural frame.

Features & Win Potential

The Dragon Expanding Wild transforms the cells above and below it, filling 3 positions on its reel and substituting for paying symbols other than the Scatter.

The Phoenix Mega Wild expands into a 2x2 square around its landing position. Its direction is random except where a corner permits only one possible expansion.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins shift the two creatures from a base-game choice into a shared battle feature, preserving the dragon-versus-phoenix identity beyond ordinary spins.

How long could a bankroll last on Dragon vs Phoenix? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.06%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,684×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
