If you, like me, love dragons and casino games, you have to check out the slot Legend of the Ice Dragon. In this slot, a majestic and powerful ice dragon lives among snow-covered mountain peaks. The stunning ice dragon appears on the right side of the screen next to the game.

In Legend of the Ice Dragon, you play on a grid slot that is 7×7 squares large. To win, you need to land clusters of at least five identical symbols next to each other in the grid. The game also has cascading reels, which means that winning symbols are removed from the grid and new ones fall down to fill the gaps. This can create more winning combinations and keep the action going.

One of the coolest features of the game is that the winning symbols are collected and added to a meter, the crystal charger. When you collect 20 symbols, a cool bonus feature is triggered by the dragon. The bonus can consist of, for example, all high-paying symbols being transformed into one type of high-paying symbol, getting more wilds on the grid, or all low-paying symbols being removed from the grid.

These are just some of the features that can appear in Legend of the Ice Dragon.

I have played Legend of the Ice Dragon for a few hours and I have to say that it is one of my favorite games right now. It has amazing graphics, sound effects, and animations that make me feel like I am in a fantasy world. It also has exciting gameplay, features, and a win potential that keep me hooked and entertained. If you are lucky, you can win up to 6000x the stake in this slot.

If you are a fan of dragons and slots, I highly recommend that you give this game a try. You can find it at many online casinos that offer games from Play n GO. At many casinos you can try the game for free with play money so you can try the game without risking your own money.

24 K Dragon – another dragon slot

Legend of the Ice Dragon is not the only slot with dragons from Play n GO. They have actually made another slot on the dragon theme: 24K Dragon, which has a huge jackpot of 24,000x the stake. Personally I prefer Legend of the Ice Dragon. But 24K Dragon is also an entertaining game with an impressive dragon. However, it only shows up occasionally, unlike in Legend of the Ice Dragon where you always have the ice dragon in the picture.

Soon it’s christmas time for all football enthusiasts! The Champions League final and the UEFA European Championship is coming up in the coming weeks. The Champions League final between Manchester City – Chelsea is even less than a week away.

Football is an amazing uniting force for sure and I can’t even imagine how many people out there, besides myself, that are looking forward to the matches.

This year it’s extra special of course. Could it be Englands time to win the European Championship this time? It would be fantastic. I have checked out the odds and it seems like England is number two at the oddslist. They have never won the Euros yet so it would really be a historic moment if they did.

Number one at the oddslist is the reigning World Champions France. The odds at France is 6.00 and the odds at England is a bit higher and are 6.50 at the moment.

The Euros starts 11 June and last until 11 July. In other words, we have a whole month of exciting football to look forward to this summer.

Champions League final

But before the European Championship kicks off the final of Champions League will take place in Porto the 29 may. Two English teams has made it to the final: Manchester City and Chelsea.

This will be the third time in history that two English teams will meet in the Champions League final. The first time was 2007/2008 when Manchester United and Chelsea made up for the title. Manchester United won. The second time was 2018/2019, when Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur in the final.

Manchester City have never been in a Champions League final before. Chelsea on the other hand have played two finals. First time in 2007/2008 when they lost to Manchester United and the second time in 2011/2012 when they won the final against Bayern München. According to the odds, Chelsea enters this final as underdogs. Manchester City is the favorites and a bet at them as winners gives 2.02 in odds at Unibet right now. A bet at Chelsea as winners gives 4.00 in odds.

Dragons are mostly connected to ancient times and pre-historical events. Knights, dinosaurs and vikings is more connected to dragons than cars, cellphones and television. But even if dragons them selves are not among us every day, their ancestors are. There are many animals that remind us about the dragon era, a long time ago.

Birds are seen every day, and is not seen that dragon-like. However, they are one of the animals that are as close to a dinosaur as we can come. From that, the step to dragons are not so big. Many dragons had, and have, feathers on their body just like some dinosaurs and just like the birds among us. So every time you see a bird, you might think of it as a small, fluffy relative to dragons.

Lizards is also a small dragon, I mean who haven’t seen one and waited for it to spit fire when their were small? They really look like a small dragon, at least some of them. Dragons are a kind of reptile and is often said to act a bit like a lizard. Look at the Chinese dragon and then at a lizard – the similarities are many.

Snakes – of course I must mention snakes in a post about dragon relatives. It’s impossible to avoid this parable, since the two are very much alike. Many snakes are venomous, just like many of the dragons might have been, until some evolved the fire mechanism. They are also very flexible – the snakes use their flexibility to move and the dragons use ot to fly, hunt and survive. They both have a long tongue with split points and scale, so it’s understandable that some dragons might evolved to snakes. They might started to look for food on the ground and soon the eventual wings disappeared. The legs may have disappeared as soon as they did not need them, since all food was reachable from ground level.

I’m definitely not sure about this, but I like to think of it like this. It takes me a bit closer to the dragons and I can be enchanted just by looking at a bird or if I see a snake. Fantasies are what makes the world interesting – that’s why it’s so important.

I’ve been browsing the web a bit tonight, just to relax a little. I came over some jewellery sites, that I really liked. I especially liked the jewellery with dragons on them, of course. Have you seen all the cool designs from Thomas Sabo? I just love that brand and I have a silverbracelet with a few charms on it. Off course – one of them is a dragon.

Yesterday I found this necklace and fell in love. Isn’t it just georgeous?

I thought about ordering it but I guess I´ll have to save some money first. I really think it´s a beautiful piece of art. It´s made of sterling silver and has the perfect size for me. It looks similar to the smaller one I keep on my bracelet.

Anyhow, I found more stunning pieces. Look at this babies:

I just loved the name at the store: Babysnake 🙂 Cool and cute at the same time and they had so many cool jewelries.

This earrings were made of sterling silver as well. I like oxidized silver, I think it gives the jewelry character. If it´s to shiny it´s to cute for my taste. And you don´t have to polish them as often when they are oxidized 😀 You could get a matching pendant as well.

It would be fun to sit down with a goldsmith and design my very own dragon.  Imagine an earring where the dragons tail winds among your ear and ends up in some kind of ear cuff. Or perhaps a flame from the dragons mouth. Combined with a tail hanging down from the ear. Can you imagine? Or am I lost in my thoughts again? 🙂

There are so many beautiful dragon designs out there. I just can’t get enough och this mystic creatures. So dark and powerful. My friends laugh at me and call me obsessed.. well, I like being obsessed. What makes your heart beat a bit extra?

As I have written before – dragons have been around in many different cultures since a long time ago. Somehow, dragons came to be known all around the world – although in different times and places. How did time change the perspective of them? Are they the same now as they were before, and does that change differ anything from each other if you look at it for two different parts of the world?

In ”The book of imaginary beings”, writer Jorge Luis Borges says that ”We are ignorant of the meaning of the dragon in the same way that we are ignorant of the meaning of the universe, but there is something in the dragon’s image that fits man’s imagination, and this accounts for the dragon’s appearance in different places and periods”. I found this quote really interesting, and decided to try to dig into the subject a little deeper.

In a way, I find this to be really true. Each time and place seem to have their kind of dragons, that somehow reflects the time being. No matter if it´s Daenerys Targaryens fire breathing beasts in “Game of thrones” or the green friendly guy in “Pete’s dragon” – the dragons continue to show up in movies and books in different shapes and sizes. The more you look for dragons in culture history, the more you’ll find – often in places where you don’t expect to. You can even find them in 19th century posters promoting sobriety, in the shape of the “wine dragon”. For the most part, dragons have been assigned to be evil creatures. from Tolkien’s Smaug to the dragon with the golden skin in the story about the Greek hero Jason. All evil, most of them slain. Through the centuries, lots of dragon lifes has been claimed.

I wrote in the last post about that one common idea of how the idea of dragons came up was that people found dinosaur skeletons and created an image based on that. That might have been the case – but what made people from different parts of the world relate those findings to dragons? One theory is that dragons, in most cases, carry the resemblance of the three biggest predator threats – snakes, felines and birds of prey. That could be one explanation to why dragons popped up in different parts of the world during different time periods – all people simply had the inherited fear of the same things, which they combined to get something as terrifying as dragons.

Eastern dragons are mostly portrayed as fortune bringing creatures, in opposite to their relatives in the west. But according to some people – it doesn’t have to depend on cultural differences, but the difference in historic time. The Chinese culture, which is the oldest one, would have had more time to domesticate their dragons than the younger civilizations in the west would have. It’s an interesting thought, and to me it really does make sense. Dragons does seem to have gotten a lot more good-natured in the west lately. If you compare the dragons that are portrayed today with the ones from medieval times, they do seem a lot nicer today for the most part. During the medieval time, dragons were often used as a tool to scare people. Being scared of the same things could really unite people, and that’s what the stories about dragons was used for. Those be-winged beasts were also used as a symbol for power, evil, or simply the unknown. Dragons were used as a marker on maps to mark dangerous or un-explored areas – hence the expression “Here be dragons”.

So maybe it is time that makes the difference between how dragons are shown in different cultures – and not the cultures itself. An interesting thought, at least in my opinion. We don’t really know how dragons came to be – but maybe they are just a result of the fears all people have in common – although from different places of the world. As we have conquered those fears and grown as society, the perspective we used to have on dragons might have changed. Since those creatures have been around for longer time in China for example – their view on dragons have had more time to change, making their portraits of dragons so much more different than the ones in the west. At least, it could be.
