Play Wild Hop and Drop Slot

Wild Hop and Drop Review

Frogs emanate a calmness that you seldom see from wild animals, and they can sit perfectly still for far longer than most humans. Wild Hop & Drop comes with a happy specimen on the left-hand side, and it can leap onto the grid at any given time to serve as a wild symbol. The size of the frog wild is randomly chosen each time, and it can fill the whole screen if you’re lucky.

This means that you can crack the 5,000x potential each time you see the frog make a move, and it keeps you on your toes in the base game. The bonus round is clearly inspired by Push Gaming’s ‘Fat’ range, but the cluster pays engine adds a new dimension to the popular growing/leaping wild feature. Despite the obvious source of inspiration, Wild Hop & Drop is a strong release that’s well worth checking out.

Wild Hop & Drop Slot Features

You win between 20 and 200 x your stake when you land 26+ matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the 6x6 grid, while the minimum of 6 matching symbols award between 0.5 and 4 x your stake. The frog sitting next to the grid will sometimes jump onto the grid to serve as a wild symbol that substitute for pay symbols. It lands in random spots, and it can take on sizes 1x1 to 6x6 randomly as well.

You need at least 4 bee scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 6 free spins. You start with a 1x1 sized frog wild randomly placed on the grid, and it jumps to random positions per free spin. Scatters are collected in the meter on the right, and you get 1 to 3 extra spins per 4 collected scatters. In addition, the jumping frog wild size is increased to 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and finally 6x6.

You get only +1 free spin when you reach the final level, as that’s all you need to crack the 5,000x win wap anyway. We should also mention that you start with 1 or 2 scatters collected if you trigger the bonus round with 5 or 6 scatters, respectively. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake, and this gives you a spin with 4, 5 or 6 triggering scatters.

You get a brief glimpse of the base game, without anything too exciting happening there, before we trigger the bonus round at 0:52 into the 3:25-minute highlights video. We managed to grow a decent sized frog wild towards the end, and you can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The similarities to Push Gaming’s ‘Fat’ series is obvious, but Pragmatic Play has made a few significant changes that connoisseurs might appreciate. First of all, you get a cluster pays engine in this game, and it goes well together with the growing wild in the bonus round. The visual presentation is excellent, and you’re taken into an enchanted forest that feels both alive and refreshing.

We really like the way the frog leaps onto the grid and becomes a wild of random sizes, and this breaks up the base game on a regular basis. The fact that it can take on size 6x6 and award the 5,000x win cap at any given time adds a tension that keeps the base game interesting. The roaming/growing wild bonus round is highly entertaining as well, but 6 spins can be over in a blink if you don’t win any extra spins.
