Drop'Em Slot review

Drop 'Em, the adventure-filled game by Hacksaw Gaming, features the amusing duo, Canny the Can and Mona the Mouse, in a highly engaging setting. While the visuals are quite akin to the previous edition, Stack 'Em, this one brings an exciting new mechanic to the forefront – the Drop mechanic. Eliminate stinky low-paying symbols with the game’s Upgrade feature and spin like a true high-roller!

Betting Options and Bonus Features

The primary feature of the game is the Drop mechanic that utilizes a Drop symbol to eliminate all symbols underneath it as it descends. Following the completion of an initial win, the Drop symbol is activated. Upon activation, the Drop symbols drain all symbols below them, allowing top-gap filling via descending symbols. 

The remaining voids on the top are filled by a random matching symbol, chosen by Canny the Can, opening up opportunities for significant wins across all stages via its 7,776 number of win ways. This game is filled with premium symbols that could grant 1.5x to 5x times your stake for five-of-a-kind combinations. Wild symbols, which can emerge anywhere on the slot, have the power to complete and even enhance wins. 

The game also hosts 3 types of bonus rounds, namely the Drop Spins Bonus Round, the High Drop Spins Bonus Round, and the Wild Drop Spins Bonus Round. Each Bonus Round is activated when 3, 4, or 5 FS symbols appear in view during the base game, respectively.

Triggering the Drop Spins Bonus Round requires landing three FS symbols during the base game. This achievement grants 10 free spins. The bonus game starts with each pay symbol, along with the Wild, displayed on the left side of the screen. 

Your main objective is to have as many lower-paying symbols as possible as that also removes them from the whole round completely. This is with landing FS symbols. Once landed they’ll start spinning and award either, up to 3 free spins, or turn into an “Upgrade” symbol, which removes 1-10 symbols from the pool, excluding the Wild. Whenever the Drop mechanic is activated, one symbol from the choice pool fills all the vacant positions, which means you can potentially fill your board with only Wild symbols consistently.

For the High Drop Spins Bonus Round, you must land 4 FS symbols in a single base game spin. This also awards 10 free spins. However, the twist here is that the choice pool contains only premium symbols and the Wild. Similar to the previous round, FS symbols can reveal extra spins or an Upgrade. The Upgrade, as before, removes a designated number of symbols from the choice pool, while the Wild remains untouchable.

A truly remarkable bonus is the Wild Drop Spins Bonus Round, activated by securing 5 FS symbols in the base game. This accolade grants you another set of 10 free spins and the main distinction here is that only the Wild symbol is featured in the choice pool! Consequently, every time the Drop mechanic takes effect, Wilds fill the vacant spaces. And as in the previous rounds, FS symbols still have the potential to yield extra spins.

For bonus buy options, Hacksaw Gaming unfortunately doesn’t allow you to skip right into the Wild Drop Spins, however, you’ll be able to access the other two bonus games freely for 100x and 200x your stake. There are also other additional toggleable features that massively increase the volatility of your game. These include:

• 
  
• BonusHunt FeatureSpins - For 3x your stake increase your chance by 5 times to trigger the bonus game.
• 
  
• Big Drop FeatureSpins - For 40x your stake, each spin is guaranteed to land at least 3 Drop Symbols!
• 
  
• Mega Drop FeatureSpins - For 150x your stake, each spin is guaranteed to land at least 5 Drop Symbols!
• 
  

Roshtein’s Take

Drop ‘Em is a great follow-up to Stack ‘Em, that lives up to the expectations. Love the updated visuals and all the new features added to the game. The Drop mechanic feels kleeen and lands quite often, actually. It’s not a complete show-stopper by any means but it does take the series in the right direction. Absolutely, looking forward to more games with Canny the Can & Mona the Mouse from Hacksaw.
