ABOUT TRIPLE JUICY DROPS
Betsoft was founded in 2006 and, within years, climbed the industry’s ladder to reach the very top. Their slots catalogue counts well over 100 interactive games, many with 3D visuals and slot bonus features. They started this year busy, as always, with two new online slot releases already in January, the other one being the 3×3 Gold Tiger Ascent.
However, while boasting somewhat more original visuals and animation, Gold Tiger Ascent was just the appetizer. Triple Juicy Drops provides a considerably better payout value, alongside a significantly bigger maximum payout limit of 20,534 of your bet amount. It defies comparison to Betsoft’s Gold Tiger Ascent’s 2,520 maximum payout.
The minimum bet per spin (hand) for the Triple Juicy Drops slot starts at £0.30 and up to a maximum of £22.
THEMES, SYMBOLS AND PAYTABLE
Triple Juicy Drops resembles one of those bright-colored gums or candy packs found on or near the counters of thousands of convenience stores that you just can’t resist. It’s a graphic boost of classic fruit pokies with various fruits being the dominant symbols. In order from high- to low-value symbols, they include watermelon, orange, lemon, grapes, plume, raspberry, bananas, and cherries.
The diamond is Triple Juicy Drops’ best-paying symbol. Adjust your bet amount and open the pay table to see how much each symbol pays. Betsoft has boosted the Triple Juicy Drops slot with scatters, which activate free, and multiplier wilds that can multiply your winnings up to 3x.
RTP, VARIANCE AND PAYOUTS
The Triple Juicy Drops RTP is close to the average of 96% (95.73% RTP to be exact). But it’s a high volatility slot, and the fact that it comes with cascading reels and a 5×5, rather than a 5×3 grid indicates frequent and adequate payouts. Just note that the Triple Juicy Drops theoretical RTP applies only to long-term play rather than a single session.
The slot’s biggest payouts can be achieved with the prize wheels feature, where players can claim LARGE, GRAND, and MASSIVE cash prizes of up to 16,000x the wager. This is not too far off from the game’s maximum win of 20,534 the amount of the bet.
GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES
Triple Juicy Drops’ name points to three of the slot’s best features: the juicy symbols; the triple prize wheel feature and the up to x3 multiplier wilds, and the cascading, or dropping, reels. Symbols that create a win will drop and the ones in the above slots will replace them. The gameplay is pretty basic, including such options as auto-spins and Turbo Play.
TRIPLE JUICY DROPS PAYOUTS
Triple Juicy Drops is different from most slots in many ways, including in the number and versatility of its features. The game drops the traditional left-to-right paying lines, creating winning combinations from at least three matching symbols that are adjacently lined either horizontally or vertically. This resembles what is known in slots jargon as ‘cluster pays’. Wins can even be formed from two different sets of symbols that include at least 3 matching symbols with a single spin.
The peeled orange is the scatter and activates the Triple Juicy Drops free spins round with at least 10 FS. During the FS round, wilds can land randomly with a multiplier value of up to 3x. The game also shows at least one wild if the player wins with 5 of a kind.
TRIPLE JUICY DROPS – TRIPLE PRIZE WHEEL FEATURE
Triple Juicy Drops has three prize wheels that are activated by gathering specific symbols. The type and number of symbols you need to activate each wheel are specified in three small windows to the right of the grid. The Mini Prize Wheel requires 5, the Super Prize Wheel 15, and the Mega Prize Wheel 25 unique symbols.
If, for instance, the Mini Prize Wheel requires grape symbols, a winning combo of 4 grapes will get you just one winning grape symbol away from the Mini Wheel. The Mini Wheel will almost surely be activated before the session resets, at which point each wheel will require a new set of symbols. The symbols for each prize wheel change every 20 spins.
As far as the prizes are concerned, each wheel includes everything from free spins, to instant cash prizes, to one of three jackpots (Large, Grand, and Massive).
OUR VERDICT
Even without the super-inviting triple prize wheels, 3x multipliers, and free spins, Triple Juicy Drops would still be a fun game to play. Higher risk usually indicates irregular payouts, but with the cascading reels, wilds, and both horizontal and vertical paying lines, wins can be formed more often than you’d expect.
