Drop ‘Em (Hacksaw Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Drop ‘Em - Slot Overview

I’ve played plenty from this studio, and Drop ‘Em brings Canny the Can and Mona back with a mechanic that actually matters. It’s a 5x6 slot with 7,776 ways, stakes from 10p to £100, and a default RTP of 96.21% though some casinos use lower settings. The maths sits in that medium to high pocket, which you feel in the swings. Wins form left to right on adjacent reels, and the headline figure is a 10,000x max win that keeps you engaged.

Drop ‘Em - Slot Overview (Part 2)

Presentation echoes the earlier Canny outings, but the gameplay is all about how the Drop symbol reshapes the grid. It’s not a cluttered feature set. Instead, it aims for simple triggers that can spike hard when the grid co-operates. Those 7,776 ways make a difference when the chosen symbol floods in. I came for the characters, but I stayed for the Drop sequences that can turn a modest start into something far more lively in a couple of steps.

Drop ‘Em Slot Information

The paytable splits into two tiers. Lows are 10 to A and pay up to 0.5x for five of a kind. Highs are the leaf, bird, skull, snake head, and the hand holding a lightning bolt, paying roughly 1.5x to 5x for five. The WILD substitutes and is top of the tree at 20x for five on a way. FS scatters trigger the bonus tiers, while Drop symbols trigger the core mechanic. Wins need 3+ matches on adjacent reels starting from the left.

Drop ‘Em - Slot Features

The Drop symbol is the engine. When at least one lands, it triggers after any initial win checks. Each Drop falls off the reel, removing everything below it. Symbols above slide down, then every empty space on that reel fills with the same randomly chosen symbol. In the base game that choice can be any pay or the wild. I’ve had chains where the new symbols rope in icons that were already paid, and that extra inclusion can lift the hit quite nicely.

Drop Spins Bonus in Drop ‘Em

Three FS symbols award 10 spins with a choice pool that starts with all pays plus wild. Any FS symbol during the round can add +1 to +3 spins and may reveal an Upgrade. That Upgrade removes 1 to 10 paying symbols from the pool, never the wild. As the pool thins, the Drop feature hits harder because the fill symbol skews towards better outcomes. This is where the game starts to shed the small stuff and set up proper screens.

High Drop Spins Bonus in Drop ‘Em

Four FS symbols award 10 spins with only premiums and the wild in the choice pool. It feels punchier from the off. Landing an FS symbol can give +1 to +3 spins and an Upgrade that removes 1 to 5 symbols from the pool, again never the wild. With fewer weak fills, the ways geometry does the heavy lifting, and stacking a couple of Drops high on the reels is where I’ve seen the round step up a gear.

Wild Drop Spins Bonus in Drop ‘Em

Five FS symbols award 10 spins where the Drop mechanic can only choose wilds. FS symbols still add +1 to +3 spins. It’s the dream tier and not one you’ll see often in the wild. I’ve also tried the FeatureSpins menu when available: Bonushunt at 3x, Big Drop at 40x with at least three Drops, Mega Drop at 150x with five Drops guaranteed, plus direct buys for Drop Spins at 100x and High Drop Spins at 200x. Mega Drop swings from flat to fierce.

Drop ‘Em - Slot Verdict

This one blends charm with bite. The Drop mechanic is easy to grasp and, paired with 7,776 ways, can flare up fast, especially once you prune the pool in bonus. The 10,000x ceiling feels on-brand for the studio and within reach if the reels line up. Watch the volatility and check the RTP version in the info panel before you commit. For me, High Drop and a well-timed Mega Drop spin were the standout routes to proper sessions.
