Wild Drops Slot Review

The mining theme has been done time and time again, and it’s easily one of the most common themes when it comes to online pokies. However, Betsoft has chosen to do what it does best and has implemented a unique design with possibly one of the tallest grids we’ve seen in a modern pokie. Wild Drops presents something different that most players wouldn’t generally look at; however, this is something that appeals to us due to how unique it is.

Wild Drops offers an RTP rate of 96.11, which is slightly above the industry standard, and this is paired with high volatility. This could be a very rewarding game; however, it doesn’t feature a high maximum betting limit which is something that won’t sit well with experienced players, but new players will have the most fun with this pokie simply due to how absurd the design is and the special features that tie it all together.

In this segment, we’ll be taking a closer look at everything that Wild Drops have to offer.

🎰 How to Play Wild Drops

Wild Drops is not as complex as it looks, as Betsoft has done an outstanding job at ensuring that the gameplay is as simple as possible. Beneath the grid, you can find a panel that can usually be seen in all Betsoft pokies. Here you’ll be able to control the game by doing the following:

Spin Button – Sets the reels in motion and casts your bet.
Autospin – Play up to 100 automated spins.
Bet Section – Adjust the size of your bet from 0.20 to 22.00.
Information – Check out everything relative to the game, such as the rules, symbol values, special features, and so on.

The game aims to match a minimum of three symbols from left to right, this is why the grid is eight rows tall, as you won’t be able to match symbols diagonally or vertically. This is one of the most unique aspects of the game and Betsoft has done a great job at implementing the style of the grid and the paylines with the special features that it has to offer.

🎨 Wild Drops Pokie Symbols and Design

Wild Drops takes place in a mine that has more of an industrial feel to it than those that we’ve seen from other providers. However, the color scheme makes it feel as cold as it looks as the background features a beautiful shade of blue with fog moving around. The grid is made of chains and various cogs, with the only contrast being the gems on the grid and the gems that are in the wagon next to the grid.

The soundtrack is somewhat mischievous, with various woodwind instruments creating the theme. The sound effects are bold and consist of a combination of low and high-frequency sounds, while the sound of gems falling gives it both light and heavy sound. The symbols that are used in Wild Drops consist exclusively of gems; high-value gems include those that are silver, green, blue, and teal. Low-value gems consist of those that are yellow, purple, orange, and pink. The highest-paying symbol in the game is the wild stack of gold.

The pay system is simple, the more symbols that you match on a payline, the higher the payout will be. You can match up to five of a kind, with the highest payout being 550x your bet in the base game.

🏆 Golden Tip for Playing Wild Drops

One of the most important things to keep in mind with Wild Drops is that it doesn’t operate the same way a traditional pokie does. The paylines aren’t standard pokie paylines but rather rows that require a minimum of three of a kind to land a match. Due to this strange setup, we recommend keeping your bets in the mid-range, occasionally hitting larger numbers.

This will prevent you from taking major losses, and it will allow you to capitalize on the special features. With that said, don’t use the autospin feature unless it’s with a low amount, as this is an easy way to lose your entire bankroll.

Another important part of Wild Drops is to understand the mechanics of the game as it’s easy to find yourself confused.

✨ Special Features of Wild Drops

Wild Drops comes with a few features that can be quite helpful, the most prominent feature in the game is the wild symbol. Not only is it the highest-paying symbol, but it also allows you to substitute any other symbol in the game. This has proven to be very helpful as the pay system operates from left to right and from right to left, making it easier to form matches.

Another common feature that’s been built into the base game is the cascading reels feature, as this will fill in the empty spaces that were left after you’ve matched a few symbols in the game. This will keep going until you’ve run out of matches and it’s proven to be one of the best features in the game.

The main feature of Wild Drops is the hidden gold coins that can be found under some of the symbols. By collecting five gold coins, you’ll trigger a bonus round that will provide you with five free spins and the center reel will be filled with wild symbols making it easy to land matches. This special feature also comes with a 10x multiplier, and this will be added to your win when you clear the grid.

As far as special features go, these are great, but it feels as if another modifier would’ve enhanced Wild Drops a lot more.
