Back in the day, when players wanted to experience the thrill of spinning the reels, they played arcade-style, one-eyed bandits. The massive technological innovations that have happened in the recent past have rendered the once-famous one-eyed bandits obsolete. While this is the case, those who once played the one-eyed bandits occasionally get that nostalgic feeling to turn back the hands of time and enjoy the dated machines.

Recognizing this, Relax Gaming, on 21 May 2024, released an exciting retro-styled slot machine dubbed Line Busters Dream Drop. The game has a bit of a modern touch as it incorporates progressive jackpots that can churn out millions of dollars in jackpot prize money.  

Before spinning the reels, plan for a fulfilling gaming session by adjusting the game settings to align with how fat your pocket is. The settings to modify include: 

• Bet Option: Select your desired bet option from a range starting at a minimum of 0.20 coins to a maximum of 100.00 coins per spin.
• Spin Option: Depending on how you prefer to spin the reels, you have the option to click the Spin button after every spin for manual spins, or you can enable the auto spins feature; hence, take a back seat and watch as the reels spin automatically up to 1000 times.

Line Busters Dream Drop slot has a 3×5 reel grid with five paylines. When spinning the reels, the objective is to line up three identical symbols adjacent to each other on any of the five paylines to win a payout.  

Note that besides landing the standard reel symbols (listed below), you can land arrow symbols. Arrow symbols only land on reels 1 and 2. When they land, they may carry multiplier values. Arrows with multipliers will multiply each other and apply to the symbol value.

The available standard reel symbols include:

• Yellow treasure chest.
• Green treasure chest.
• Blue treasure chest.
• Crab.
• Spaceship.

• Free Spins Feature: The free spins feature activates when arrows on reels 1 and 2 connect with a free spin symbol on reel 3. Multipliers on the arrows will multiply and apply to the amount of free spins revealed. During this round, symbols can be stacked up to five. Additional free spins may be triggered.

• Dream Drop: This feature randomly triggers at the start of any spin. During the round, two symbols landing on reels 1 and 2 will guarantee a prize. The symbol landing on reel 3 will determine the jackpot prize. Five possible jackpot prizes can be won, including the Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major, and Mega jackpot prizes.  

When players click the ‘Buy’ button on the main screen, a new pop-up page emerges, offering them the chance to purchase the free spins round or win a mystery prize. Players must pay the stipulated price to trigger the free spins round instantly or win a mystery prize.

Having tried out the Line Busters Dream Drop slot, I found it to be an exciting game to play because it comes with a retro-style theme, hence appealing to my nostalgic reel-spinning experience. Moreover, it has a super high max payout potential pegged at 5,000x the bet.
