Design and Theme
🖼️ Graphics
In Drop’em, everything follows a rustic wooden-tile aesthetic: the symbols are simple, colourful, and easy to read. The background shows a lush green forest, with familiar Hacksaw characters Kenny and Mona standing on either side of the grid. They liven up the action — twitching, bouncing, and reacting in sync with the music.
🎶 Звук
The soundtrack in Drop’em feels straight out of a children’s cartoon — light, playful, and upbeat, without becoming annoying. It’s enriched by cheerful sound effects: whistles, comic bursts, and a surprised “oooh!” when the Drop feature activates.

Special Symbols
- Wild: Substitutes for any regular symbol to complete winning combinations. It also pays on its own — five Wilds award x20.
- Scatter (FS): Triggers the Free Spins feature when enough symbols land. During the bonus, Scatters can award extra spins or activate upgrades.
- Drop Symbol (Yellow Down Arrow): When triggered, all symbols beneath it disappear, and the ones above fall down. Empty spaces are then filled with the same number of identical new symbols, chosen at random (including Wilds).
- Upgrade: Appears only during Free Spins. It removes the lowest-paying symbols from the symbol pool, meaning they won’t appear on subsequent spins.
Bonus Game
In Drop’em, there are three types of Free Spins, depending on how many FS Scatters land:
- Drop Spins: 3 Scatters trigger 10 Free Spins. The pool includes all regular symbols and Wilds. During the feature, you can land additional Scatters or an Upgrade symbol, which removes low-paying symbols from future spins.
- Big Drop Spins: 4 Scatters trigger 10 Free Spins. Only high-paying symbols and Wilds remain in the pool. Scatters behave the same way as in the previous mode.
- Wild Drop Spins: 5 Scatters award 10 Free Spins. Whenever the Drop feature activates, all empty positions are filled exclusively with Wilds. Additional spins can also be won — +1, +2, or +3.
RTP, Volatility, Max Win
The RTP of Drop’em is 96.21%, and volatility is high (4 out of 5). The maximum win is capped at x10,000 of the total bet.
Our Verdict
Wins in Drop’em don’t happen often, but Wilds help balance things out. The Drop Symbol appears in the base game too, though it’s often more decorative than useful. Buying the bonus turned out far more effective — both tested options paid back well, especially the mode without low-paying symbols, where upgrades drop frequently and genuinely clear the grid.
If you’re looking for something in a similar vein, try Le Viking or Le Bandit from Hacksaw — both feature the raccoon Smoky and share the same focus on cascades and special mechanics.
