THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols in this title are represented by sweets of different colours, with yellow, blue, green and red variants. These symbols can offer between x0.05 and x0.25 the player’s stake, depending on the amount of identical symbols that land on the same spin.
Next up, medium value symbols are represented by lemons, blueberries, apples and strawberries. If the right amount of identical symbols land on the reels from left to right, then these symbols can offer between x0.1 and x5 the player’s bet.
The highest-paying symbol is a pink lucky seven, offering between x2 and x50.
Chocolate squares act as blocker symbols on the reels, revealing paying symbols when destroyed by a nearby exploding win.
Wild W symbols are also depicted with two available versions. The standard W wild substitutes for any aforementioned paying symbol, while the locked wild does the same while staying on the reels for three turns instead of one.
Other symbols available in the game include a level up arrow that increases the size of the reels and dropz symbol that gives players either one or two free respins.
Finally, a bonus B scatter can drop into play, activating the free spins feature if three or more land on the reels at once.
THE DETAILS
As Dropz is a scatter-paying title, it provides payouts for the amount of symbols that are on consecutive rows from left to right. It is also a cascading wins game, meaning symbols in a winning combination will explode and disappear, making way for new symbols to increase the win potential of an already successful spin.
The game has three available levels that can be accessed by landing arrow symbols on the reels. The first level is the base game, set on a 6×6 reel set. Level two introduces another row to make the reels 6×7, while level three makes it 6×8.
Medium and low value symbols correspond with each other for a special multiplier feature due to their colour, for example, strawberries and red sweets can combine to activate a progressive multiplier.
Matching these symbol pairs adds to a pair matching meter in the top right corner of the board. If players can achieve three of these pairs, then the multiplier showcased on the meter will be applied to any subsequent wins.
These pairs will also explode to make way for new symbols and collecting another three pairs will upgrade the multiplier to have a higher value.
With the free spins feature, five spins are initially awarded to the player but additional spins can be won by landing dropz symbols. The reel set will expand to level three’s size of 6×8 for the free turns. The win multiplier stays active for the entity of this bonus game mode.
