Grim the Splitter Dream Drop Overview

The features of this game start with the splitter feature. When a wild lands, the reel on which it falls splits into two, duplicating the wild and all other symbols on the reel. You can only do this to each reel once in the base game. Split symbols count as multiple symbols for the purposes of making win evaluations. The next feature is the free spins round triggered when players simultaneously land three scatter icons on the reels. This awards players with seven free spins. These can be topped up from within the game by landing additional scatters. Finally, this game also has a Dream Drop feature – this is the jackpot feature. All bonus content will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Grim the Splitter Dream Drop Theme and Symbols

From the looks of this game's symbols and how the board is set up, the thematic premise for this game looks like a tarot card reading by a scary, undead wizard. Tarot cards are a type of divination tool used for fortune-telling and spiritual guidance. They are usually a deck of 78 cards, each with its unique image, symbolism, and meaning. The ones in this game, however, look decidedly evil, each displaying a scary beast or spooky design. We have to applaud Relax Gaming on this innovative and novel aesthetic as it is both interesting and finished to a very high standard.

The background for this game is the spooky cabin or basement where this tarot reading is taking place. Appropriately the screen is lit only by the sickly hue of a green-flamed candle which burns brightly on the table. At the top of the screen, you'll see the arms and torso of your fortune teller, a decrepit and mysterious man with skeletal features wearing a large cloaked robe. To the left of the screen are the few coins you may have paid for this mysterious reading. The playing board for this game is a set of tarot cards arranged on a wooden table.

The symbols for this game are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying symbols in this game are the four card suits- clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades. These are all worth the same, paying out at 120x the stake for the top combination. On the other hand, the more valuable icons are the bat, hawk, cat and wolf. The wolf is the most valuable regular icon, paying out at 750x the stake for the top combination. The specials in this game comprise the scatter icon and the wild.

Grim the Splitter Dream Drop Features

The first feature included in this game is the splitter feature. This is triggered every time a wild icon lands on the board. The wild will split the reel it lands on into two, duplicating the wild and all other symbols on the reel. You can do this with every reel, significantly increasing the number of pay lines and symbols.

The next feature is the free spins game. To activate it, players must land three or more scatter icons on the board simultaneously. Do so, and the game will reward you with seven free spins. You can add more spins to your free spin total by landing additional scatters within the game. If a bonus symbol is split by the Splitter feature, each split awards an additional +1 free spin.

The scatter symbols that trigger free spins are stored above the reels as Splits. When a wild symbol lands, and the Splitter feature triggers, stored splits trigger. Landed wilds are also stored for later Splitter feature triggers. It means that in free spins, it is possible to store up to 3 splits per reel and create wins of up to 20 symbols.

Finally, we have the Dream Drop feature. This feature could become randomly active at the beginning of any normal spin. If you see five Dream Drop symbols land (one on each reel), play will then move over to the Jackpot pick round. At this point, players are then presented with 15 face-down cards on the wooden table. You will then have to pick them one at a time, trying to find matching cards to trigger the release of one of the five jackpots. Find three matching jackpot cards, and the appropriate jackpot will be awarded to you. The jackpots available are the Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major, and Mega Jackpots are €1, €5, €100, €25,000, and €500,000, respectively.

Conclusion

Spooky and a little strange, this game presents something pretty different from Relax Gaming's regular products. However, underneath the sinister exterior, this is a fun and feature-led game with a high level of risk but with a decent promise of reward too. You'll love this slot if you like complex gaming experiences and go big or go home games. Be wary, though, that this game's volatility rating is very high. You can also play Koi Gate for free.
