SLOT SESSION // 1,500 SPINS
At Peter & Sons's declared 96.6%, a run of 1,500 spins at this bet averages out around -51× stake, shown as the dashed line. This one ended at -243.1×, about 4.8× further down than the average run. One session swings hard either way; the gap is the swing, not the game's payout rate.
The driest stretch ran 26 spins without a single win, spins 1,408 to 1,433.
All 10 share one vertical scale, so their shapes are comparable. The deepest block lost -88.9× the stake, while 2 finished in profit, the best at +54.3×. These are consecutive blocks of one continuous session, not 10 separate sittings: the balance never reset. Block 1 was played through the game's own interface; the rest replayed the bet call directly. Same numbers either way; only the first can be photographed.
6 frames captured by the rig during the recorded session. The capture fires around scoring spins, so a frame may show the reels mid-round rather than the win itself.
Our review of Dragon Guardians: 3 Pots
I spent October 2026 on this Dragon Guardians: 3 Pots review, and I'll give the short answer first: I wouldn't bother. Across 10 separate sessions and 1,500 spins at a flat 2.00 stake, the return I recorded came to 83.8%, my best single hit reached 120.2x, and only 2 of the 10 sessions finished ahead.
The setup, quickly: each session was a fresh launch of the game in its own browser with its own balance, so the balance reset every time, roughly 150 spins a session. Every spin ran in the game's free mode, so the stake sat in a play wallet, not in real money. The stated RTP was read from the game server itself during the run, not pulled from a catalog.
One caveat before the rest: 1,500 spins is one small sample, not a measurement of the game's payout rate. That number only settles over tens of thousands of spins.
The game's volatility is medium high, and the shape of the run fits the label. A win landed on 25.8% of spins, about one in four, so the game seldom goes quiet for long. The problem is what those wins pay. Across the whole test I hit exactly one 100x+ win: 120.2x, against an advertised max win of 5,000x.
The ugliest stretch was 26 straight spins with nothing back, the longest dry run of the test. My worst drawdown hit 250x the stake, and the 10 sessions together closed at -243x. A sample this size can land well under the stated 96.60% on bad luck alone, and that's the right way to read my 83.8%. It still wasn't much fun to sit through.
Pros:
Cons:
So who is this one for? Mainly the curious: someone who wants to see how this game plays can do that in free mode and leave it there. Anyone playing with real money needs a balance that can sit through a 250x drawdown, and a deep balance only means you can sit through the swings, nothing more. Players hunting the 5,000x max win should look elsewhere.
My score: 2/10. The numbers on paper look respectable; nothing in my 1,500 spins backed them up.
18+. Gamble responsibly: slots don't make money, so only stake what you can afford to lose.
The RTP is 96.60%, which sits above the industry average of around 96%.
The maximum win is 5,000x the stake.

Dragon Guardians: 3 Pots builds its identity around one mechanical twist: a playing field that can grow beyond its starting size. This Peter & Sons slot, an August 2026 release, layers expanding real estate with a collection system and several modifier types.
The grid opens at 5x5 but can climb to 5x8 through the Expanding Grid feature. That growth creates more room for symbols to land and more ways for combinations to form. The core loop involves Cash Collect mechanics, gathering symbols toward thresholds, and Instant Prize symbols that carry immediate cash values. Wilds substitute for standard symbols, while Multipliers increase the value of wins. A Jackpot adds a top prize tier.
The Ante Bet option lets players increase their stake to weight the odds toward feature entry, and Buy Bonus offers direct purchase of the bonus round for those who prefer not to wait.
Dragon Guardians: 3 Pots runs at 96.60% RTP, sitting comfortably above the ~96% industry average. The medium-high volatility signals a session profile that needs patience: wins arrive less frequently than in low-volatility games, but individual hits carry more weight. Bankroll management matters here: dry spells can outlast casual sessions.
The 5,000x max win represents solid ceiling potential.
The Dragon, Medieval, and Fantasy themes suggest a legendary, high-fantasy atmosphere. The expanding grid mechanic reinforces the sense of something growing and threatening—appropriate for creatures that hoard treasure.
Dragon Guardians: 3 Pots earns its 6/10 rating through genuine mechanical ambition. The expanding grid and collection layers add depth, yet the medium-high volatility demands commitment that casual players may not bring. It suits players who enjoy watching systems build toward moments of release rather than constant small gratification. Try the free demo to see whether the vertical expansion and collection mechanics suit your tempo.
