Barbarossa and his crew have grown tired of the Caribbean, and hoist their sails for the Far East in the new Barbarossa Dragon Empire title from Peter and Sons. You’ll see plenty of Eastern characters, carved dragons, and cannon fire along the way.

The gameplay is the same high-octane thrill from the first slot in this series; every win clears the way for wild cascades, and charges up the multiplier on the cannon.

Full Rules & Information About the Barbarossa Dragon Empire Online Slot

We have a relatively simple setup with a 5×3 grid and 243 ways to win. Each win sets up a cascade that then doubles the multiplier cannon. Moving you from 2x to 4x to 8x and then golden cannonball, which never misses and guarantees a win.

Since everyone appreciates a little variety in their artillery defilades, you will also see a wild cannonball and a jump version that lets you skip multiplier steps.

Barbarossa Dragon Empire Symbols & Payouts

The lower-paying symbols here are grenades, pistols, rocket shells, a golden claw and canister shot, while the higher-paying symbols are the Eastern Pirates themselves, including Barbarossa.

Each cascade sees a wild symbol, denoted by a ‘W’ drop-in, and the scatter symbol is a dragon emblem. The wilds can easily help add to your wins after the cascades begin, while you’ll need to land the scatters to get you to the free spin rounds.

Weapons a plenty in the Barbarossa Dragon Empire Paytable

Barbarossa Dragon Empire Bonuses & Features

Land three of the scatters and get seven free spins, with an additional two free spins for each additional scatter while in the free spin round. The multiplier chain persists throughout, resulting in significantly larger wins than in the base game.

Barbarossa Dragon Empire has four feature buy options.

Should you choose, there are four bonus buy offers on hand. For a reasonable 1.5x, we get an increased chance of triggering free spins. At 110x, we can buy our way into the seven free spins.

If we are feeling flush, 220x will get us anywhere from seven to eleven free spins, and at 330x we can have the same random seven to eleven free spins, but this time we get more access to the special cannonballs.

Similar Games & Best Alternatives

We’d be remiss here if we told you to run, not walk to try Peter & Sons’ original Barbarossa or Barbarossa DoubleMax if you enjoyed this title.

Fans of persistent multipliers may also like Yggdrasil’s DoubleMax titles or Relax Gaming’s Money Train series.

Cannon Fire at Dawn on the South China Sea

Our honest opinion here is that this does what every good sequel should. It builds on everything that made the first two titles popular while introducing some new mechanics and setting us down in a new but evocative setting.

And what it doesn’t do is veer away into something that feels completely new and cut off from the original. The volatility is high, but with a 40,000x max, that’s to be expected.
