Neko Night Dream Drop Review

Japanophiles will probably appreciate this latest installment in Relax Gaming’s fast-expanding Dream Drop Jackpot range. Neko Night Dream Drop is set in what looks like a typical Tokyo street at night, and the reels are filled with origami, sushi and other cultural references you may associate with the island nation. The main character is an anime lady, and above the 3 middle reels sits 3 lucky maneki cats.

This is a brand new game by the way, and not a remake of some back catalog title that is often the case with these Dream Drop releases. You can win up to 20,000x your stake outside of the jackpot feature, which is solid, and this is most likely to happen when the wild multipliers never reset in the bonus round. The price you pay for the jackpot chase is a 93.89 % RTP, in which 12 percentage points goes to feed the jackpots.

Neko Night Dream Drop Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 4 and 20 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the anime/manga lady is the top-tier symbol. Koi fish Wild symbols step in for regular pay symbols to help complete wins, and they can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.

You trigger the Neko Respin feature each time a Wild symbol appears, and if you get a new wild on the same reel the wild multiplier of the new wild increases by +1. The respins feature continues as long as you land new wilds, and multiplier wilds are multiplied together if more than one is part of the same win.

You need to collect 3 coin scatters in the same respins sequence, or on the very same spin, to trigger the Bonus Round. This gives you 8 free spins, and wild multipliers do not reset between spins if you trigger the Neko Respins during the feature. Also, the multiplier values from the triggering spin are carried over into the bonus round, and you win +1 extra spin per scatter that lands.

The Jackpot Spin triggers at random times as usual, and it plays out on a 5x4 grid where only DD symbols and blanks appear. You need 1 DD symbol on each of the reels to trigger the Dream Drop Jackpot Bonus Game. The Jackpot game is all about accumulating DD symbols, and 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 DD symbols lands you the corresponding jackpot:

• The Mega Jackpot seeds at €500,000 (max value is €10 million).
• The Major Jackpot seeds at €25,000 (max value is €50,000).
• The Maxi Jackpot seeds at €100.
• The Midi Jackpot seeds at €5.
• The Rapid Jackpot seeds at €1.

The 200 Spins Neko Night Dream Drop Slot Experience

We had a good time testing Neko Night Dream Drop, and there is somewhat of an exotic vibe emanating from this Japan-inspired release.

Review Summary

We hope Relax Gaming plans to release a non-jackpot version of this game as well, as there are qualities here that get overshadowed by the expensive jackpot chase. Per usual, 12 percentage points of the 93.89 % RTP goes to feed the 5 progressive Dream Drop Jackpot, leaving you with 81.89 % for the non-jackpot part of the game. That’s quite low to put it mildly, and triggering the bonus round is far from easy as well.

Don’t get fooled by the innocent vibe you may pick up from the visual presentation in other words, as there is a merciless beast dwelling underneath the hood. The Neko Respins feature can certainly amount to something if you’re lucky, but closing in on the 20,000x non-jackpot potential is most likely to happen in the bonus round. As is usually the case with DD releases, you must be primarily interested in the jackpot chase to make it worthwhile.

Pros

• Sticky wild respins w/ increasing wild multipliers
• FS where wild multipliers just keeps building
• Win up to 20,000x your stake outside of jackpots

Cons

• 93.89 % RTP (81.89 % outside of the jackpots)
