Line Busters Dream Drop Slot Review

Line Busters Dream Drop Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

Line Busters Dream Drop uses a 3 reel, 5 row, 5 payline game engine. Land arrows on reels 1 and 2 plus a symbol on reel 3 to create a winning combination.

Stakes here range from between 10p and £100 per spin. Use the + and – tabs next to the spin button in the desktop slot or click on the coins icon if playing the mobile or tablet slot.

Autoplay and quick spin modes are available if you’re in a territory where they are allowed. That doesn’t include the UK though.

The Line Busters Dream Drop RTP is a rather low 94% which is well below the average of approximately 96% seen at other UK casino sites. However, it’s to be expected and not out of the norm when there is a jackpot attached. If you play the version without the Dream Drop aspect, that RTP sits at 96.1%.

The hit rate of 23.78% means a winner lands every 4.2 spins on average. The design here might be old school but this is a high-variance slot. The Line Busters Dream Drop volatility comes in at the maximum of 5 out of 5.

The most you can win here is 5,000 x stake.

Theme: classic 8-bit visuals

Playing Line Busters Dream Drop is like going back to the 1980s. The setting is a video game arcade packed full of machines. The action plays out in one of these retro cabinets, complete with joystick and buttons.

The dark purple reels are made up of chunks of rock (which are blanks and don’t count as anything) alongside a trio of alien symbols and blue, green and yellow cases. The blue case can have a number between 1 and 10 attached, the green between 1 and 4 and the yellow 1 or 2. The number is equivalent to the amount of that symbol. For example, land a winner that had a blue case with a 5 attached, and you’d win the prize for 5 of that symbol.

There are also arrow symbols. Land these on reels 1 and 2 with a standard symbol on reel 3 to form a winner. These arrows can also come with 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x attached. For example, say you landed the pink alien on reel 3 for a prize of 0.6x stake. If the arrows on reels 1 and 2 came with a 3x multiplier, the prize increases to 1.8 x stake.

There’s also a free spins scatter.

The blocky visuals here are terrific and could come straight from a Commodore 64 or some other ancient bit of computing kit. The bangs and bleeps complement the retro visuals superbly.

Here’s how the paytable stacks up:

Symbol	Payout/Info
Blue Alien	3 = 0.2 x stake
Green Alien	3 = 0.4 x stake
Pink Alien	3 = 0.6 x stake
Blue	1-10 = 1 to 10 x stake
Green Box	1 -4 = 15 – 75 x stake
Yelllow Box	1-2 = 100 to 150 x stake
Arrow	Multipliers of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x
Free Spins	Free spins awarded when this lands with arrows

Line Busters Dream Drop Mobile

The 8-bit design is ideally suited to smartphone play and the Line Busters Dream Drop mobile slot plays really smoothly. You won’t lose anything playing this slot on a smartphone with a small screen if you prefer playing at mobile casinos.

Line Busters Dream Drop Bonus Features

I didn’t really expect a slot with such an old-school design to be dripping with extras and like the sound and visuals, Line Busters Dream Drop is pretty stripped back when it comes to bonuses. There are a couple of extras worth noting though.

Free Spins feature

Land arrows on reels 1 and 2 plus the Free Spins symbol on reel 3 to trigger this round. Depending on the number on the Free Spins symbol, you’ll win 3, 4 or 5 free games. If there are any multipliers attached to the arrows, they’re applied to the number of free spins. For example, arrows with a 5x multiplier that triggered 3 free spins would award 15 free spins.

The big difference in the Free Spins round is that symbols can appear stacked up to 5 symbols high. There are also opportunities for re-triggers which add more free spins to your total.

If you’re in a jurisdiction where it’s allowed, you can buy the Free Spins bonus for a fee of 40 x stake.

Dream Drop Bonus feature

This can trigger at random at the start of any spin. A spaceship then flies onto the screen. Arrows are guaranteed to land on reels 1 and 2 plus one of 5 jackpot symbols on reel 3. You’ll then win one of the Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major or Mega Jackpots. Here are their seed values:

Play Line Busters Dream Drop

Line Busters Dream Drop Slot

While I love the retro aspect of this slot, the lack of intricate gameplay lets it down a little. Still, the Dream Drop element is always a great addition.

Pros

• Superb retro sound and visuals
• Dream Drop jackpot
• Fun free spins round

Cons

• Lower than average RTP rate (94%)
• Gameplay is fairly basic

I liked Line Busters Dream Drop. The vintage visuals are terrific and though the gameplay is limited, there’s still just enough going on to keep things ticking along.

Despite the high volatility, I landed the free spins regularly. It’s all about the multipliers when it comes to landing a decent prize though.

That limited range of extras means that Line Busters Dream Drop isn’t something I’ll be rushing back to play again and again, especially given the low RTP of 94%(!) and the sky-high volatility.

If you want a blast of old-school action though, Line Busters Dream Drop delivers exactly that.
