Pine of Plinko Dream Drop (Relax Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Pine of Plinko Dream Drop - Slot Overview

I’ve spent plenty of time with Pine of Plinko Dream Drop, a cosy woodland slot that plays on a 5x3 layout with 10 fixed paylines. It keeps the base game stripped back to line wins, with payouts for three to five matches from the leftmost reel. Don’t be fooled by the soft look though; the model hits hard with high volatility, so streaks happen. The whole thing feels like a pinecone cuckoo clock brought to life, with the action moving inside during the bonus.

There are two builds. The regular release posts a 96.48% RTP, while the Dream Drop edition runs at 93.48% due to jackpot funding. Both share the same payline set-up and hit pattern, but the non-jackpot game can offer a Feature Bet in some markets. Expect long spells of calm punctuated by sharp bursts when the bonus hits, which fits the maths. I liked the clear rules and that everything points towards the big Plinko round.

Pine of Plinko Dream Drop Symbols and Paytable

Symbols in Pine of Plinko Dream Drop stick to two tiers. Low pays are green, purple, and orange pines, paying 2x to 3x for five of a kind. High pays are the crew (Miney, Sleepy, Santa, with Piney as top), paying 10x up to 200x for five. There’s no wild at all, which is rare. The scatter is a white pearl framed in gold that lands with a value up to 99. Some symbols can carry DD icons that help trigger the jackpot round.

Plinko Bonus in Pine of Plinko Dream Drop

Land three or more scatters in a single spin to trigger the Plinko Bonus. Each scatter shows a number; the total becomes your starting drops. Pressing the button releases balls that bounce through pegs and settle in one of fifteen gaps at the bottom. Each gap holds a prize from 0.1x up to 1,000x the bet, and all outcomes are added to the pot. It’s simple to follow and puts all the focus on your drop count and the board.

Three bumpers sit mid-field. Every time a ball clips a bumper, a meter above fills. When it fills completely, you move up a level and gain +10 drops. The twist is that each new level doubles the number of balls per press: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on, all the way to 256 at the top end. That escalation is where the wins can snowball, as the screen floods with balls and more bumper hits land.

I like that you control the rhythm. You can tap through drops one by one or hold for a quick cascade, which changes the feel without touching the maths. Where allowed outside the Dream Drop build, the bonus can be bought for 79x the stake, cutting straight to the action. Either way, the board does the talking. When the last drop is used and any queued stages finish, the accumulated prize pays out.

Dream Drop in Pine of Plinko Dream Drop

In the Dream Drop version, landing three DD symbols launches a separate Plinko-style jackpot round. Each press drops a ball that feeds one of five meters at the bottom. The first meter to fill pays its pot: Rapid (€1), Midi (€5), Maxi (€100), Major (€25,000), or Mega (€500,000) as starting values. It mirrors the main bonus in feel but plays out purely for a jackpot, so one of those prizes will fall.

Because jackpots need feeding, RTP sits at 93.48% in standard play or 93.79% if you activate the increased scatter setting. Buying the Plinko Bonus is not offered on this build, so you reach it naturally. Three DD icons at once are required. The current pot values sit on screen and reseed after hits, while the feature ends as soon as one meter fills. It does not affect the main 10,000x cap, which applies only to the non-jackpot game.

Feature Bet in Pine of Plinko Dream Drop

Where the option exists, the Feature Bet gives you two paths. First, you can toggle an increased scatter setting that raises the stake by 75% and ups the number of scatters on the reels; the stated RTP for that mode is 96.78% on the non-jackpot build. Second, you can buy direct entry to the Plinko Bonus for 79x the bet, which carries a 96.94% RTP. On the Dream Drop edition, the buy option is turned off.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Pine of Plinko Dream Drop

Key stats for Pine of Plinko Dream Drop are clear. The non-jackpot game runs at 96.48% RTP with high volatility and 10 fixed lines across a 5x3 grid. Stakes span 0.20 to 100 per spin. The jackpot build drops to 93.48% RTP in normal play, rising to 93.79% with the increased scatter setting on. Non-jackpot wins can reach 10,000x the bet; the Dream Drop version adds Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major and Mega as progressive prizes.

Pine of Plinko Dream Drop - Slot Verdict

I went in thinking a bare base game might drag, yet the Plinko Bonus more than carries Pine of Plinko Dream Drop. The act of releasing balls, hearing them ping off bumpers, and watching Piney smash the level-up button never got old for me. The fact you can pace the drops yourself adds a nice touch. I found myself chasing another level more than the total, which says plenty about how well the round flows.

As a high variance slot, it can be quiet for stretches, but the ceiling is there, with 10,000x possible on the non-jackpot build. If you fancy the jackpots, the DD version trades RTP for a shot at Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major or Mega. For me, the charm lies in how clean the rules are and how the board ramps up. It’s a simple set-up done right, and one I’ve happily returned to between heavier games.
