Wild Hop & Drop by Pragmatic play is a 6x6 online slot where wins are formed by clusters of 6 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. It's themed around frogs, with the grid set against the background of a forest pond. And with the bright vibrant colours and cartoonish visuals, the whole game has a bit of a psychedelic feel to it.
The three different coloured frog premium symbols add to that feeling, although the J to A low pays, draped in pondweed, restore a little normality to the game. Wins are formed whenever six or more matching symbols land in a cluster anywhere on the reels. And the maximum win from the regular symbols is 200 x the bet for 26+ of the green frog. The betting range is from 0.20 to 100.00 per spin.
The Wild is a frog sitting on a water lily. He’ll stand in for regular symbols to help form wins and can land as a regular symbol or oversized, from 2x2 to 6x6 in the base game. If he lands as a 6x6 symbol, the player gets an automatic payout of 5000 x the bet. He also has a slightly psychotic look in his eye, but only the firefly Scatters need to worry about that.
The firefly Scatter symbol can land on any reel, and four or more will trigger the bonus round with 6 Free Spins for starters. But this figure can be added to, and the longer the round continues, the higher the prizes get.
When the Free Spins bonus round starts, the frog beside the grid hops onto the reels as a 1x1 Wild. It will stay on the grid until the end of the round, hopping to a random position on each new spin.
To the right of the grid is a progress bar, divided into four segments, with positions for four Scatters in each. As the reels spin, any Scatters that land are snatched up by the frog Wild's tongue and added to the bar. Every four scatters collected adds between 1 and 3 more spins to the remaining total. And as the frog Wild snatches up firefly Scatters, he gets bigger, growing in size with every four he eats.
With Wild Hop & Drop, Pragmatic Play makes terrific use of the cluster pays and expanding Wild concepts. This is a fun, entertaining slot game with some high potential wins. It's also high volatility, so always set a responsible loss limit before playing. Good Luck.
