Divine Drop Review (Hacksaw)

The Divine Drop slot game has 5 reels by 4 rows to play on with 14 fixed paylines. A winning combination takes place when 3 or more matching symbols land left to right on adjacent reels. 

Stakes start at 10p and go up right up to £100. You can use the up and down arrows on both desktop and mobile versions of the game to see all available bet options.  

The RTP rate is 96.25% which is above the average of 96% and there are also rates of 94.34% and 92.34% available.

You'll discover a hit frequency of  28.11% and a medium volatility rating.

The max win amount is 10,000 x the bet, which seems to be the benchmark for Hacksaw's medium volatility rated slot games.

Zeus and Aphrodite front this game which is set in stunning Mount Olympus complete with golden temple pillars shown under a warm night sky.  The setting is opulent and the lead characters are dressed in crisp white Grecian togas with expensive gold fastenings.  Zeus is carrying a gigantic golden bolt of thunder which he uses during the Zeus's Thunder feature. 

When switching to the bonus rounds, you enter the much darker setting of Hades underworld. Hades looks a scary dude and is dressed in a purple toga with his 3 headed dog Cerberus at his side. The designer has used plenty of dramatic purples and red hues for these rounds.

The reels' higher-value character symbols are Zeus, Hades, Aphrodite, a character in a gold helmet and Cerberus. These are followed by the standard symbols A, K, Q, J and 10 which all have the same value.

Below are the values of the symbols:

• Zeus: 5=20, 4=10 and 3=4
• Hades and Aphrodite: 5=10, 4=5 and 3=2
• Character in a gold helmet and Cerberus: 5=6, 4=3 and 3=1
• A, K, Q, J and 10: 5=2, 4=1 and 3=0.20
• Wild Multiplier symbol: Substitutes for all other symbols in the paytable and multiplies the value of any winning combination that it is part of. 
• Heart symbol: When it lands it triggers Aphrodite’s Love and restores 1 - 3 vitality to all Wild Multipliers on the grid.
• X symbol: When landing it activates Zeus’s Thunder and calls down a bolt of lightning that doubles the multiplier value of all Wild Multipliers on the grid.
• FS Scatter symbol: Land 3 or 4 FS scatter symbols at the same time during the base game to trigger one of the bonus games.

Divine Drop Mobile

The game plays well whether you play on an iOS or Android device. Like most modern slots, the game will adapt to whichever device you're using, which means you can be assured of an excellent experience whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, or desktop.  

Hacksaw Gaming are known for using innovative features so let's take a look at what's been included in the Divine Drop game:

Wild Multiplier 

Like many slot games, the Wild Multiplier symbol substitutes for all other symbols in the paytable. It also multiplies the value of any winning combo that it’s a part of. Wild Multipliers can land with values between 2x and 200x. If more than one Wild Multiplier is part of the same winning combo, their values are added together before being applied to the win. 

Wild Multipliers may land with up to ‘3 Vitality’ which you can see on the grid as red hearts which you can see in the screenshot below. While a Wild Multiplier has Vitality remaining, it stays sticky on the grid and awards respins. For each respin awarded, 1 Vitality is removed from every Wild Multiplier on the grid. When a Wild Multiplier reaches 0 Vitality, it will be removed on the next spin or respin.

Aphrodite's Love 

When the Heart symbol lands it triggers the feature Aphrodite’s Love and restores 1 - 3 Vitality to all Wild Multipliers on the grid.

Zeus's Thunder

When the X symbol lands it activates a feature called Zeus’s Thunder. Here it calls down a bolt of lightning that doubles the multiplier value of all Wild Multipliers on the grid!

FS Collect

Land 3 or 4 FS scatter symbols at the same time during the base game to trigger one of the bonus games. You can also trigger one of the bonuses by collecting FS symbols during respins. 

If only 1 or 2 FS symbols land on a spin they are collected in the Bonus Meter which is above the reels, if there is at least one Wild Multiplier with 1 or more Vitality. Once the Bonus Meter reaches 3 or 4 collected FS symbols, it will trigger the corresponding bonus game at the end of the round.

Tricks of Hades

Land or collect 3 FS symbols during the base game to activate this bonus round which you can see below where you're awarded 8 free spins. During the bonus there is an increased chance of landing Wild Multipliers and special symbols.

Triple Tricks of Hades

If you land or collect 4 FS symbols during the base game you activate this bonus round with 8 free spins. During the bonus there is an increased chance of landing Wild Multipliers and special symbols. The minimum value of the Wild Multipliers that land is 3x.

Bonus Buy

Many slot games have a Bonus Buy feature; however, this functionality is not available in the United Kingdom. Use the 'buy bonus' to buy access to the Bonus Games, the cost is 100x your bet. to enter Tricks of Hades and 250x your bet to buy access to the Triple Tricks of Hades.

Like most Hacksaw Gaming titles this is a great looking game, the design team has done a superb job in bringing Mount Olympus to the screen. Mythology-themed games aren't a new concept but Hacksaw has managed to put its own stamp on this game with its recognisable creative style. The symbols and features are well thought out and respect the mythology theme as well as being straightforward and importantly, enjoyable.

The game has a medium volatility like most of Hacksaw's recent games - Orb of Destiny, Rusty & Curly, Bouncy Bombs and Dawn of Kings. And all have had a 10,000 x the max win amount which is about right. If you want to find out more, you can read about all of the best Hacksaw Gaming slot games. 

The Zeus's Thunder feature looks excellent on the screen when Zeus calls down a bolt of lightning that doubles the multiplier value of all Wild Multipliers on the grid. Hacksaw has created some impressive multiplier features and this game is no different. All-in-all this is an excellent shot at a mythology game.
