Drop’em
Drop’em Free Slot Demo review
Drop’em is a slot where the popular duo Cany and Mona return in a retro forest setting and debut a new drop mechanic. It was released on July 27, 2023, and you can play the free demo with no sign-up.
How does the drop symbol move in Drop’em?
After all current wins are paid, the drop symbol falls to the bottom of the screen and the symbols above it follow down. Every empty spot is then filled with a single symbol randomly chosen by Cany, and the chosen symbol is shown on the right of the screen. This mechanic debuted in Drop’em among Hacksaw Gaming slots. Watching and hoping for a high-paying symbol to be picked is the fun of this game.
How are wins calculated after a drop?
If the newly filled symbols create a win, it’s paid, and symbols that were already part of a win before the drop are counted again if they’re included in the new win. In the base game, the filler symbol is chosen from the full symbol table including wilds. So a single drop can sometimes grow an existing win, and if a wild is chosen, most of the screen can end up in wins.
How do Drop Spins and High Drop differ?
Drop Spins, triggered by 3 FS symbols, start with 10 free spins, and FS symbols give 1-3 extra spins or upgrades. When an upgrade lands, the lowest symbols are removed from the pool first, and wilds are never removed. High Drop, triggered by 4 FS symbols, starts with only high-paying symbols left in the pool. The more upgrades stack up, the more only high-paying symbols remain.
How does the Wild Drop Spins open?
In the base game, an FS symbol has to land on each of the 5 reels. In this bonus, the drop pool contains only wilds, so every empty spot is filled with wilds, and it can’t be bought with bonus buy. It’s rare since FS must land on all 5 reels at once, but once it opens, every drop is filled with wilds and results can get dramatically big.
What should I check first in the demo?
is 96.21%, with other versions at 94.19%, 92.26%, and 88.10%. Volatility is 4/5 high, yet hit frequency is quite high at 48%, and the max win is 10,000x. In the demo, watch a few times how much results change when the chosen symbol shown on the right is a high payer. Buy both bonuses as well and compare them.
Pros
- Very high 48% hit frequency
- A fresh drop that fills empty spots with a single symbol
- A dream bonus that fills only with wilds
Cons
- Wild Drop bonus can’t be bought
- Heavy reliance on the drop symbol
