Olympus 7’s Dream Drop

Olympus 7's Dream Drop: Slot Overview

Jackpots and ancient Greece, two components that are rife in the online slot industry, collide in the Relax Gaming release Olympus 7's Dream Drop. The title instantly gives away the fact that this game is linked to the studio's popular progressive jackpot system, where the top Mega prize has a start value of €1,500,000. Dream Drop arrived in casinos in May 2022, and according to the company, it has created millionaires, on average, every 1.5 months (stats at the time of writing). Alluring numbers, and this time, the studio has crafted a rather alluring-looking game to chase them in, utilising a novel mini slots method to potentially pull in payouts.

Thunder, lightning, and gods, a cinematic intro leads players through the clouds into the brightly lit realm of Olympus 7's Dream Drop. From the start, it appears Relax Gaming has put some of its top art people on the job, because it has turned out an attractive game. The deities have a sort of comic book superhero thing going on, and the music soars, giving the game a clear, fresh, positive atmosphere. This could be good, in a jackpot slot of Dream Drop's magnitude, helping players keep their chins up, staying emotionally upbeat through the slow times, and all that. By comparison, Olympus 7's Dream Drop sits miles away from another, heavier-vibed ancient Greek Dream Drop slot Relax Gaming released, Hercules Unleashed Dream Drop. The gameplay is wildly different as well, and having a range of choices is no bad thing.

As it usually goes, the higher the bet, the better the chance of triggering a jackpot, and stake options range from $/€0.20 to $/€70 per spin. Since mini slots are the key needed to unlock the game's jackpots, the Mighty Spins ante bet might be of interest. It's not cheap, at 20x the bet, but it ensures at least 3 reels land with mini slots, and more than 1 mini slot may land per reel. Low volatile, Olympus 7's Dream Drop's theoretical RTP is 94%.

The pay symbols landing on the 6x4, 4,096 ways grid are made up of 10 to A royals, grapes, olives, lemons, pomegranates, and sevens. Hitting six matching symbols in a winning combination awards 0.8x for the royals or 1.5x to 8x the bet for the high pays. When wild symbols land, they are able to substitute for anything except mini slot and Dream Drop jackpot symbols.

Olympus 7's Dream Drop: Slot Features

Olympus 7's focal feature is its Olympus Mini Slots, which are the stepping stone to its jackpots. Landing mini slots symbols on 3 or more reels triggers the Olympus Mini Slots feature. Each mini slot spins to award prizes based on its own paytable.

• Athena - Pays on a single line. If 2 out of 3 winning symbols are on the line, the other position nudges 1 space to award the best win possible. The Rapid is awarded if 3 Jackpot symbols land on the line.
• Hades - Pays on a single line. Any win is randomly multiplied by 1 to 10 times its value. Landing 3 Jackpot symbols on a line awards the Midi.
• Zeus - Pays on a single line. Wild symbols appear. The Maxi is awarded if 3 Jackpot symbols land on the line.
• Hermes - Pays when a single Hermes symbol lands, awarding a win equal to the bet amount. The mini slot then spins again until a Hermes symbol does not land. Each time a new Hermes symbol lands, the win is doubled up to 512x. If a Jackpot chance symbol lands, the mini slot respins with 3 reels. The Daily is awarded if 3 Jackpot symbols land on the line.
• Feud - Pays on 3 horizontal lines. Wild symbols appear with a random win multiplier up to x5. The Major is awarded if 3 Jackpot symbols land on any line.
• Olympus - Pays on a single line. Wilds appear with multipliers up to x5. If 2 out of 3 winning symbols are on the line, the other position nudges 1 space to award the best win possible. Players win the Mega if 3 Jackpot symbols land on the line.

Once all mini slots have spun, there is a chance that an Olympus respin triggers. When it does, all mini slots spin again. The Olympus respin may trigger multiple times. Only one Dream Drop jackpot can be won per game round. If a jackpot is won, Dream Drop jackpot symbols are removed from further mini slot spins.

Olympus 7's Dream Drop: Slot Verdict

Not sure what the expectation of how Olympus 7's Dream Drop was going to turn out, but it wasn't this. The 7 reference, the ancient Greek theme, something more classically slot orientated, maybe. Not that Olympus 7's Dream Drop is a ragingly avant-garde game. For instance, elements of it rang bells of Reel King Megaways with all the mini slots and whatnot. But there are surprises here, minor ones, which may pique the interest of connoisseurs. On top of that, the optics are quite pleasing as well. As a result, Olympus 7's Dream Drop manages to carve out its own niche in the jackpot sector of the market.

On the flipside, hopefully you like mini slots folks because they amount to about everything Olympus 7's Dream Drop has to offer in terms of extras. Spin the main reels in order to land mini slot symbols, in order to spin some more, albeit smaller, reels. For the review at least, the cost might stack up using real money, but the Mighty Spins ante bet was a more entertaining way to play the game. When activated, literally every spin triggers the Olympus Mini Slots feature, and since it is needed to have a chance of winning jackpots, the more often it's on screen, the better. However, even without Mighty Spins, the Olympus Mini Slots feature wasn't exactly a rare occurrence, actually triggering fairly often, though other users' results may no doubt vary.

Putting the Dream Drop aside, winning potential sits at 13,000x the bet, so there are possibilities of sizable returns outside of scooping jackpots. But Dream Drop is the main draw, and Olympus 7's Dream Drop provides a rather unique way for gamblers to go about potentially jacking into it.
