Drill the Thrill Bonus Features

Drill the Thrill centres on the Drill it Hard feature, which begins when the Silver Drill lands on reel 1 and expands into a full stacked wild. That triggers reels 2, 3 and 4 to expand from 4 symbols high up to 5, 6, 7 or even 8 rows, while reels 1 and 5 stay fixed. Once expanded, those middle reels can land regular symbols as well as coin symbols worth 1x to 100x and jackpot symbols worth 10x for Mini, 100x for Minor, 500x for Major and 2,500x for Grand.

After the expanded reels settle, reel 5 has a chance to land the Golden Drill. If it does not appear, any regular line wins, and all coin and jackpot values are paid, and the feature ends. If the Golden Drill does land, it expands into a stacked Wild on reel 5 and starts the Hold & Win mode. At that point all Coin and Jackpot symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 become sticky; the feature starts with 3 respins, and every new Coin or Jackpot resets the counter back to 3. The round continues until no respins remain, all positions are filled, or the feature reaches the 10,000x max win cap.

The main bonus game is the Blast Zone Bonus, triggered by 3 FS Scatters, which awards 5 free spins. During this feature, reel 1 is always filled by the Silver Drill on every spin, so the Drill it Hard feature is guaranteed each time, but the free spins cannot retrigger. The bonus buy menu adds three direct options: Bonushunt FeatureSpins, which makes a bonus 3 times more likely for 2x the bet; Drill It Hard FeatureSpins, which guarantees the Silver Drill on reel 1 and Golden Drill on reel 5 for 50x the bet; and the Blast Zone Bonus buy itself for 150x the bet.

Final Thoughts

It's hard to get excited about a slot that throws in a hold and win bonus and then pays 3x the bet. Yes, that was my first experience of Drill the Thrill, so it got off to a shaky start, to say the least.

Things didn't really get any better, and I found the theme not particularly well-presented and, overall, the gameplay to be boring, so whilst you might disagree with me on my summary here and go on to enjoy the game, it's not one I'd be eager to revisit in the future, that's for sure.
