Drop'em slot review
Drop'em, often listed as Drop 'Em, is a Hacksaw Gaming slot released in July 2023. It plays on five reels of six rows with 7,776 ways, and its Drop symbol clears the symbols beneath it so the gaps can be refilled with one randomly chosen symbol. The maximum win is 10,000x stake.

How Drop'em plays
A win needs at least three matching symbols on neighbouring reels, counted from reel one. Card values 10 to A are the low pays, five picture symbols sit above them, and the Wild tops the paytable at 20x stake for five on a way.
The Drop symbol can land on any spin. After the wins are paid, it falls off the bottom of the grid, removing every symbol beneath it. The symbols above slide down, and the empty spaces are filled with one symbol picked at random and shown on a sign beside the reels. In the base game that can be any paying symbol or the Wild.
Because every gap gets the same symbol, Drop symbols on several reels can line one symbol up across them at once. That shared refill, rather than a fresh random symbol in each gap, is what separates the mechanic from an ordinary cascade.
The three free spins bonuses
Three FS symbols in the base game start the Drop Spins Bonus: 10 free spins with every paying symbol and the Wild in the refill pool. Four start the High Drop Spins Bonus, also 10 free spins, with a pool of only high-paying symbols and the Wild.
FS symbols that land in either round can add 1 to 3 spins, and some show an Upgrade, which removes symbols from the pool, lowest value first. The Wild is never removed.
An FS symbol on each of the five reels starts the Wild Drop Spins Bonus with 10 free spins. The Wild is the only symbol in its pool, so every Drop refills the gaps with Wilds, and extra FS symbols add 1 to 3 spins.
