Divine Drop (Hacksaw Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Whether or not you’re a fan of the Norse God theme on slot games, it’s clear they’re here to stay, and frankly, if you’re not a fan, it’s obvious you’re in the minority. We all know there’s no sale without demand, and the latest developer to try and satisfy the average slot player’s demand for Norse mythology-inspired titles is Hacksaw Gaming with the release of Divine Drop. We’re going back to the story of Zeus and Hades for this one, which, as it has been told countless times in movies, I’m fairly sure I won’t have to refresh many of your memories. What can you expect aside from a lightning bolt or two? A 5-reel, 4-row, and 14-payline slot with a 96.25% RTP and a solid 10,000x the stake max win.

You’ll receive some divine intervention when spinning the reels of the Divine Drop slot game. There’s Zeus to the left and Aphrodite to the right of the reels, and the two will kick into action whenever their specific symbols land to trigger modifiers to any wild multiplier symbols on the reels. Those wilds can hold multiplier values of between 2x and 100x and could remain sticky on the reels for up to three spins. The modifiers will either increase the vitality of the multiplier wilds or double their multiplier values. As for the bonus games, there are two you can trigger, and they’re essentially the same apart, except the enhanced version guarantees all wild multiplier symbols will have multipliers of at least 3x.

So, who are you backing, Zeus or Hades? Or perhaps, like me, you’re not really bothered and just want to spin away and hope that the payouts come your way? If you’re not willing to risk real money playing this slot, we’re here to help by giving you the Divine Drop slot demo below, which is free to play!

Divine Drop Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Divine Drop Slot Paytable

I don’t think I need to explain to most of you just how common the Norse theme is when it comes to slot games. I highly doubt there are even casual slot players who play an hour or two a week and have not encountered a handful of Zeus, Hades, Odin, Poseidon, and Thor slots in their time. There’s the Age of Gods King of Olympus from Playtech, then we have the Gates of Olympus slot free play game you can experience here on our site; and with us, you can even go back to the early days of online slots on titles such as Microgaming’s Thunderstruck demo. That’s just for starters, too; you’ll find hundreds more!

Well, now you have another to add to that growing list, but before we get into the mechanics and bonus features, let’s check out the paytable. There are 10 regular symbols and a wild symbol that can provide payouts. Zeus and the Wild share a top return of 10x the stake, which pays whenever five of either symbol line up across a payline. Hades and Aphrodite repeat this process, but this time with a max reward of 5x. Poseidon and a Three-headed Dog also share a max win, this time to the tune of 3x the stake. Playing cards represent the low pays, and you’ll find the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, or Ten, and all share returns of 1x for a winning combo of five.

Finishing this section of the review takes us over to the staking options on Divine Drop. Typically, with a Hacksaw slot, there are a few to choose from, starting from a minimum of €0.10 and to a maximum of €100.00, with plenty of well-placed options between.


Divine Drop Slot Base Game & Modifiers

The Divine Drop slot machine uses a 5-reel, 4-row, and 14-payline reel configuration, and wins come your way whenever you match three or more winning symbols across a win line. Winning combinations must start from the leftmost reel and move along a payline on consecutive reels.


Wild Multipliers

Wild symbols on the Divine Drop slot will substitute for all regular paytable symbols and will hold a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 200x. The multiplier value of a wild will apply to the payout of any winning combinations the wild symbol helps to create. If multiple wilds contribute to a combo, their values are added together before being applied to the payout.

Wild multipliers will also have a vitality level of between 0 and 3, which is displayed as red hearts on the symbol. Each Heart represents the number of spins the wild multiplier will remain sticky on the reels. There are also a couple of symbols that have modifiers that can affect the wild multipliers:

  • Aphrodite’s Love: Heart symbols can land in any position on the reels, and when they do, they will restore between 1 and 3 vitality levels of all wild multipliers on the reels.
  • Zeus’s Thunder: If X symbols land anywhere on the reels, it triggers Zeus’s Thunder, which doubles the multiplier value of all wild multiplier symbols on the reels.

Divine Drop Slot Bonus Features

Divine Drop Slot Free Spins Feature
Divine Drop slot free spins feature

There are two free spin variations you can trigger on the Divine Drop slot game. You need three scatter symbols to activate the Tricks of Hades free spins bonus or four to trigger the Triple Ticks of Hades bonus game. Alternatively, you can activate either bonus during the base game by collecting free spins scatter symbols. A collection meter above the reels will collect the FS symbols whenever they land on the same spin as a wild multiplier with at least 1 vitality. Again, you’ll need to collect 3 or 4 to trigger the respective bonus games.


Tricks Of Hades Free Spins Feature

Triggered by three scatter symbols, this bonus gives you 8 free spins with an increased chance of landing wild multipliers and special symbols.


Triple Tricks Of Hades Free Spins Feature

Triggered by four scatter symbols, this bonus game gives you 8 free spins. However, this time, you receive an increased chance of landing wild multipliers and special symbols, and wild multipliers always have a minimum multiplier of 3x.


Bonus Buy

As is common with Hacksaw Gaming slots, there are multiple buy bonus options you can consider:

  • Bonus Hunt FeatureSpins: For 3x your current stake, you will spin with 5 times the chance of triggering a free spins bonus game.
  • Wild Diversity FeatureSpins: For 50x, you will spin with a guarantee of landing at least 5 wild multiplier symbols with at least 1 vitality.
  • Tricks of Hades Free Spins Bonus: For 100x your current stake, you’re guaranteed to trigger the standard free spins bonus.
  • Triple Tricks of Hades Free Spins Bonus: For 250x, you will purchase the enhanced free spins bonus game.

Pros

  • Two variations of the free spins bonus mode (although there is not much difference between them).
  • Multiple buy bonus options.

Cons

  • 14 paylines is a weird configuration for a 5x4 setup. You often think you’ve won but haven't.

Divine Drop Slot Review Final Thoughts

Divine Drop provides plenty of winning potential thanks to the wild multipliers of up to 100x and the fact they can remain sticky on the reels or even have their values doubled. While that potential is there, during my session of around 150 free spins, I never saw a wild multiplier with more than 10x, and more often than not, the wilds didn't have any vitality at all. However, that’s RNG and volatility, so perhaps you’ll enjoy more luck.
