Smash Your Way to Wins in Pinata Popper Dream Drop Slot
The origins of the humble piñata are complex. It is believed that versions of it were developed at the same time by the Chinese and the Mayans. At some point, Spanish missionaries brought a version of the Chinese piñata to South America and the two versions came together into what we now consider to be a piñata. Now that you know that, you can go back to watching compilation videos of pinata-smashing fails that inevitably involve a child and the destruction of a father’s testicles.
If you’d like to get more involved, you can join the ball-smashing tradition in Pinata Popper Dream Drop slot from Relax Gaming.
Have you warmed up?
When a piñata symbol lands on the reels it triggers the re-spin feature. The triggering piñata is then held in place and the reels are spun to give you a chance to add additional piñatas to the reels. If you go one spin without adding a new piñata, the final spin will be activated. Once the re-spins feature completes the final spin, all positions highlighted by the piñatas will be transformed into the same paying symbol.
The slot’s bonus game is triggered with the appearance of three or more B scatter symbols which can only land on reels three, four, and five. Once triggered, you will receive three spins to add piñata symbols to the reels. If the highlighted positions of two piñata symbols overlap, the overlapping position will receive a 2x multiplier that will increase by 1x with each subsequent overlap. If you add a piñata symbol to the reels, your three spins will be reset. If you go three spins without adding a piñata symbol, the feature’s final spin will be activated. As with the base game re-spins feature, all highlighted piñata positions will then be transformed into the same paying symbol. If the transformation creates a winning combination that includes positions with multipliers, the multiplier will be applied to the winning amount.
The slot’s Dream Drop Bonus is triggered randomly before any base game spin. Once triggered, you’ll be presented with 15 mystery jackpot options. You will then be asked to begin selecting options to reveal the jackpot type. Once you have unveiled three of the same jackpot type, that jackpot will be awarded and the Dream Drop Bonus feature concluded. The five jackpot types are rapid, midi, maxi, major, and mega.
Is Pinata Popper Dream Drop slot worth a swing?
When the intro sequence for Pinata Popper Dream Drop slot started, I was really excited about the slot. I have found that slots that have these intro sequences are generally visually fantastic. Pinata Popper Dream Drop slot is, however, the exception. That’s not to say that the visuals that are featured are poor, they’re just dull. Day of the Dead celebrations are vibrant and chaotic. This has none of that energy. The bonus features are fun and the gameplay is engaging. However, the graphics just don’t inspire me enough to stick around for long stretches of time.
The slot is also stuck with high volatility, which means that you’ll have to endure the dull graphics for long stretches of time between unlocking bonus features. The 10,000x max multiplier does improve things slightly, but it may just be a matter of too little too late. The slot has an RTP of 94%.
If you’re looking for slots from Relax Gaming that I do recommend, give Money Train 3 or Horror Hotel a try.
