Bright graphics and gameplay that keep things flowing are some of the reasons the slot is such a thrill to play.

Gameplay and Mechanics

Wild Hop and Drop is easy to play, as you would expect from Pragmatic Play. The game dedicates a large part of the game screen to the reels, with an operating panel at the bottom of the reels. As with most sweeps slots from the game provider, you have a prominent spin button at the bottom right of the game screen.

Below it is the auto spin button that spins the reels up to 1,000 times. On either side of the spin button are plus and minus buttons that let you adjust your bet. Click on any of these, and a pop-up menu with your bet specifications appears. This lets you choose how many lines you wish to wager on and the number of coins per line that make up your total bet.

You have the settings and information buttons on the bottom left of the reels. Click on the setting button where you have options that let you activate quick spins. The battery saver option serves to preserve the battery on your smartphone should you be playing on mobile. You also have switches to turn the ambient music, sound FX, and intro screen on and off. This is also the section to click on if you are looking to see game history where you can track previous wins.

Symbols and Payouts

The ‘I‘ button is where to click to find out about the game’s symbols and their payouts. With a large 6×6 grid, you would expect the game to be flooded with symbols, but this is not the case here. Pragmatic Play keeps the symbols within a decent number, giving you more chances of striking a win. You have three frogs and the typical face card symbols among the seven symbols.

Hit up to 26 symbols of the green frog, and you get the highest payout from the base game at 200 Sweepstakes Coins for a match of over 26 symbols. The second-highest-paying symbol is the purple frog flashing the peace sign. Land 26 of these, and you have a payout of 100 Sweeps Coins. The blue frog is the next high-paying symbol, with a payout of 60 SC. After these come the face card symbols with payouts of between 40 and 20 SC for 26 matching symbols.

Bonus Features and Special Symbols

Wild Hop and Drop comes with special symbols that enhance your payouts even more. First off is the wild symbol, which gets you a huge payout of 5,000 Sweeps Coins for 36 matching symbols. Wilds come in 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6 symbols. The wild symbol hits on all reels.

Free Spins

A red firefly is the bonus symbol in the game. Get four of these symbols on the reels, and you will trigger the bonus round. The game awards you 6 free spins to start the bonus round when you land 4 or more bonus symbols. A 1×1 wild is always present during the free spins round and moves to random positions through rounds.

Bonus symbols that land during the free spins round are collected, with every fourth bonus symbol retriggering the round. After 4 retriggers, the game cannot retrigger again. You get a random number of free spins between 1 and 3 whenever the feature retriggers. The roaming wild increases in size every time the feature is retriggered, going from 1×1 to 6×6. Special reels come into play on the bonus round, so you have a larger grid and more chances to land winning combinations.

This feature lets you buy the free spins round at 100x your wager. With this, you are guaranteed anything between 4 and 6 bonus symbols on your next spin.

Design and Graphics

Pragmatic Play is one of the best game providers out there when it comes to graphic effects, and this is quite evident in this title. The game is fitted with high-quality animations that keep the game interesting. The reels sit on a picturesque pond with the jolly frog beside the reels perched on a lily pad.

Hit a big win, and the animations to celebrate this light up the screen. Smooth animations make for enjoyable reel spinning. We liked the seamless transitions as the game changed from the base game to the free spins round. The excellent graphics are matched with a soundtrack that adds to the excitement of the game.

Conclusion

Wild Hop and Drop is a great-looking slot with a decent hit rate and many features that make it a thrill to play. One of the features of the slot that makes it stand out is the growing wild. You get all kinds of wilds on sweep slots, but this time, Pragmatic Play takes on a concept hitherto untried.

The game creates the perfect ambience to kick back and enjoy some reel spinning as you win real cash. With a max win that is quite high and equally high volatility, you know you could hit the big time at any time.

With the sweepstakes version of the game, Pragmatic Play lets you test the game for fun with Gold Coins, or for real money prizes with Sweepstakes Coins. With all there is to like about the slot, we also have to point out the missing gamble feature, which would have taken the fun a notch higher whenever you hit a winning combination.
