Drop’Em Slot Review

Some people should be banned from naming characters – I’m looking at you, Tyra Banks. The character in her book Modelland was given the ridiculous moniker of Tookie De La Crème. Jesus.

Then there was the writer for the movie Jungle Fever who decided that Wesley Snipes’ character should be called Flipper Purify.

But the winner of the Worst Character Names Award goes to literary giant Charles Dickens. Here are some of the stinkers he conjured up: Seth Pecksniff, Zephaniah Scadder, Toby Crackit, and Jane Murdstone.

This from the author of Oliver Twist, The Pickwick Papers, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities… and the list goes on.

So, if Dickens sucked, what hope did the creatives at Hacksaw have when they named the two protagonists in their ‘Em series of slots?

Join me as we get to grips with Drop’Em slot.

Gameplay

Canny the Can – that’s the name of the yellow character in this series of games. And it doesn’t even look like a can! And while Mona the Mouse – “his” sidekick – isn’t going to win any awards for innovativeness, at least it’s a character you can make peace with (thanks to Disney).

If you look at the grid configuration, one might assume that the game will look a treat on a phone held vertically and that’s precisely the case. The reels take over almost the entire screen, making for a glorious experience.

Flipping the phone to landscape mode means the grid shrinks down considerably but it’s still playable like this.

The question before us now is: is Drop’Em slot just a well-designed game with no substance or does it have more to offer?

It turns out it has a lot to offer. Check it out:

  • PaylinesPaylines are preset lines that run across the reels, and when you land matching symbols on them, that will result in a payout. The more paylines, the more ways you can win, but also the higher your bet per spin.: 7,776 ways to win
  • RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

    RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.    : 96.21%
  • Max Multiplier: 10,000x
  • Max Win: €250,000
  • Volatility RateSlot games can have low, medium, high, or extremely high volatility rates (or a combination thereof).

    The less volatile the game, the more often it should pay out, but the lower the amount, the less the payout, as this is in keeping with the risk you’re taking. Volatility rate should be considered in conjunction with a game’s RTP.    : High
  • Accepted Currencies: Fiat but no Japanese yen

Wild symbols replace all symbols in the paytable.

Features

DROP SYMBOL:

The one symbol to watch out for is the Drop arrow; it will remove all symbols below it and new ones of a chosen type – Canny will hold up a placard to show you which one – will then fill the empty spots.

DROP SPINS BONUS (FREE SPINS):

Landing 3 Free Spin Scatters sets this feature off and you’ll be awarded 10 spins. All of the paying symbols, along with the Wild, could be possible choices for the Drop mechanic I mentioned above.

You can re-trigger Free Spins by landing extra Free Spin Scatters or by doing so, you could alternatively get an Upgrade and remove 1 to 10 paying symbols from the options for the Drop mechanic. Make sense? Each new FS symbol will get you +1, +2, or +3 extra spins.

Oh, and Wilds won’t ever be removed from the Drop mechanic pool.

HIGH DROP SPINS BONUS (ALSO FREE SPINS):

Landing 4 Free Spin Scatters triggers this round and also awards 10 spins. The difference between this feature and the previous one is that the High Drop Spin Bonus only has high-paying symbols and the Wild as options for the Drop mechanic.

You can still Upgrade (limited to 1 to 5 symbols now) and re-trigger spins as usual.

WILD DROP SPINS BONUS:

Landing 5 Free Spin Scatters sets this round off with 10 spins. Here, the Wild is the only symbol choice for the Drop mechanic.

Re-triggering Free Spins is still available.

BUY BONUS:

The first three options work like an Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature.; they’re on until you elect to turn them off. The last two are options you buy as a once-off.

Pity you can’t buy the Wild Drop Spins Bonus…

Performance

Drop’Em slot worked precisely as it was supposed to while testing this game.

Maximum Win

We’ve got an excellent betting range here; not too restricted but not placing too much of a financial burden on ya: €0.10 to €25.

The max multiplier is 10,000x – whoo hoo! – and the most you can win in this game is a stunning €250,000.

Conclusion

Solid stats, wonderful mobile experience, exciting features (calling all Free Spin lovers!), and extensive Buy Bonus options – what’s not to like?

The downside would be the cost of using the Buy Bonus options. It’s one thing for your bet to go up 3x per spin, but when we’re talking 40x or 150x a pop, that’s when things get crazy real quick.

The thing is, using the latter option could pay out spectacularly or just as quickly drain your budget faster than Johnny Depp’s penchant for wine (he apparently coughs up $30,000 per month; did you know that?).

Buy yeah, Drop’Em slot is still a kick-ass game, so if you’ve got the budget and are a top prize hunter, this could be the challenge for you.
