drop 'em slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Hacksaw had something of a golden period a little while back, but their recent output has been much more varied in both style and quality. The developer has released a whole bunch of ‘Dare2win’ games such as Lines, Mines, and Plinko – those types of simple gambling games must appeal to somebody, I guess, but they really aren’t the kind of thing that I would want to play for an extended period of time. There have been some great slot releases along the way too, thankfully – Break Bones, for example, was a particular highlight from memory. Drop’em is certainly a well-presented machine, but I did notice that it seemed to deliver a whole lot of dead spins… so, how about the winning ones?

The highest-paying symbol is the wild, but it’s only worth 20x the total bet for a full payline of five of a kind. That’s a little alarming in my view, considering how many times I failed to win anything whilst playing this game. The regular symbols pay much worse, too – the lightning bolt pays 5x for all five symbols, whilst the snake's head and skull drop down to just 2x for five of a kind of those. There are two more ‘high’ symbols – a bird and a leaf – both share equal returns of 1.5x for all five symbols, and that just leaves the five royals, which all pay the same 0.5x for a five of a kind combination. Thankfully, the large maximum number of pay ways – 7,776 – along with the stacked symbol configurations – do go a long way towards righting the imbalance that these low paytable numbers seem to cause.

The betting range is identical to most other recent Hacksaw releases too – there are minimum/maximum bets of €0.10 and €100.00 respectively, with a fair amount of flexibility between the two extremes. Those who like to bet towards the upper end of the scale have far fewer options, but I think those players are probably rich enough not to be too fussed anyway!

base game & modifiers

Our two protagonists do, of course, have names – Canny and Mona, as the paytable will inform you, are dropping back in with a big bang! Their new game, Drop’em, is a five-reel slot with six rows and a payway-based payout mechanic. This style of game allows you to win several times from a single round, and the information pages go to great lengths to explain that the maximum jackpot prize of 10,000x the total bet is achievable in all game modes – you won’t be spending most of your time just waiting for a feature whilst playing this game.
