ELK Studios never disappoints when it comes to graphics and aesthetics. Their Dropz online slot game is one of their main masterpieces. This sweets-themed slot game brings players to a vast Candyland that only their dreams could make up. Spin the reels of this sweet slot game and get a chance to enjoy bonus features such as wilds and locked wilds, Dropz symbols, avalanches, and a bonus round!
The Dropz slot machine is played on a slot layout of 6 reels with 6 rows each, which could grow to have up to 8 rows in the bonus game. The game comes with 729 up to 262,144 ways to win, depending on the number of rows present. You can win the game by landing three or more matching symbols across adjacent reels, starting from the first reel.
The paytable of the Dropz slot game is made up of various sweet treats and candies such as low-value chew candies in different shapes and colours, as well as higher-value fruit symbols such as lemons, grapes, apples, and strawberries. The most valuable symbol in the game is the ‘7’ symbol, which is made up of a five-layer treat. Wilds and Locked Wilds may also appear on the reels as you play the game. These can substitute for all regular symbols in the game to help complete winning combinations.
When winning combinations occur on the reels, the winning symbols are removed to trigger the Avalanche mechanic. This replaces the spaces with new symbols and gives you a chance to land more winning combinations.
Chocolate blocker tiles are also removed when there are adjacent winning symbols. Chocolate Blockers may contain special symbols. Dropz Symbols are special symbols which may get you 1 to 2 extra symbol drops. Level Up symbols may also appear and take you up tiers which come with more active rows. Levels unlock when the Avalanches end.
The Dropz slot game also comes with a multiplier feature which involves the Pair Matching Metre of the game. A pair of symbols is indicated and landing matching pairs of these on the grid will increase the metre. When the metre is filled, the value is added to the win multiplier. Removed symbols will also remove chocolate blockers.
The ReDropz Bonus Round may be triggered by landing three Bonus Symbols on the same Avalanche sequence. The feature comes with 5 free spins with the grid in its max size of 8 rows. You may land new special symbols during this feature and the multiplier metre will not reset. There is no level progression in this feature.
