Like with all grid slots, you need a minimum number of matching symbols appearing in a cluster, i.e. next to one another. In this instance, you need 5 or more touching in any position. However, landing a cluster of 5 symbols or more will result in the same payout.

The Midnight Marauder Dream Drop RTP is 94% which is about average for a progressive jackpot slot. 12% is reserved for the jackpots meaning the actual RTP is 82%. The non-jackpot version comes with a 96.19% RTP version by the way.

High volatility (4/5), the hit frequency rate is 11.51%. This means winning combinations will land every 8.68 spins on average. When it comes to payouts, the max win is 10,000 x your total bet. This is excluding the progressive jackpots which can reach €3 million.

Theme: grab your duffel bag and join the heist

With a heist/robbery theme, the Midnight Marauder Dream Drop slot is the jackpot version of the popular Midnight Marauder. Based on an infamous jewel thief on a quest for riches, this high-stakes game is visually identical to the original slot.

Using cartoon-style graphics, it has a comedic feel ala Inspector Gadget. In the backdrop, you’ll see a city landscape at night with the grid in front of the gem bank. Your aim is the grab your duffel bag and join the midnight crawler on his quest to unlock the secrets of the vault.

On the 6×6 grid, there are 6 gemstones. Best paying is the sky blue gemstone symbol which awards 2 x bet when you land 5 or more in a cluster. Unusually, there is no wild symbol but there is Jewel Thief Bonus Scatter which is crucial to triggering the free spins.

Midnight Marauder Dream Drop Bonus Features

The Midnight Marauder Dream Drop slot comes with 3 bonus features. Wins trigger the Collect & Multiply feature where you get re-spins. Bags appear and you can add to winning clusters which also gives you multipliers. Multiple clusters can appear meaning their multipliers and multiplied for huge wins. This applies in the Free Spins feature where infinite free spins can be won. Finally, there are 5 Dream Drop jackpots to be won randomly.

Collect & Multiply feature

If you read the ‘Theme’ section above and wondered why the payouts for the symbols are low, the Collect & Multiply feature will explain why. Present in the base game and free spins, it’s triggered when a winning cluster appears on the grid. The win is collected into 1 symbol position with a re-spin awarded.

Then a bag appears with the multiplier value of symbols collected (i.e. 5 winning symbols will see a 5x multiplier on the bag). During the re-spin, it’s possible to collect extra winning symbols to the initial cluster if they land adjacent to the bag.

With the possibility of multiple bags appearing on the same re-spin, they will multiply against each other when the re-spins end. This occurs once no more symbols are collected or no new winning clusters are formed.

Free Spins feature

The Midnight Marauder Dream Drop slot benefits from the Free Spins feature. It’s played when you land 3 or more Jewel Thief Bonus Scatters anywhere on the 6×6 grid. 3 scatters will award 8 free spins and every additional scatter gives you 2 more free spins (i.e. 4/5 scatters will award 10/12 free spins respectively.

During the feature, every scatter adds 1 more free spin to your tally, infinitely. As in the base game, the Collect & Multiply feature applies when you land a winning cluster.

Dream Drop Bonus feature

The Dream Drop Bonus feature is triggered randomly before any base game spin. Once in, there are 5 jackpots to be won. You spin the wheel which marks which jackpot has been awarded. Here is what they will pay:

Midnight Marauder Dream Drop Review Summary: unique cluster pays game now with jackpots

The Midnight Marauder Dream Drop slot is the jackpot version of Midnight Marauder so you can expect more of the same essentially. Graphically it’s identical and the bonus features are also the same.

The unique Collect & Multiply feature is still as appealing though as landing multiple clusters of the same symbol will lead to multipliers multiplying for big wins hopefully. That said, you will need clusters of the sky-blue and red gemstones to achieve anything substantial.

Compared to the original slot, the max win is 3 times lower (10,000 x bet vs 30,000 x bet). The actual RTP is 82% whilst the original game boasts an above-average 96.19% rate. On the plus side, you have the 5 Dream Drop jackpots which can land on any spin. The Mega Jackpot is worth up to €3 million.

In summary, the Midnight Marauder Dream Drop slot is the same game as the original title with lower max win potential and a low RTP rate. What you gain is the chance to win progressive jackpots. Is it worth it though?

There are better Dream Drop slots in my opinion including 4ThePlayer’s 5k Gold Mine Dream Drop and Print Studios’ Pine of Plinko Dream Drop.

If you’re a fan of grid/Cluster Pays games, I highly recommend Cluster Tumble (by Relax Gaming) which offers 20,000 x bet top payouts, great graphics and lots of bonus features. Do you like Relax Gaming slots? Check out the Money Train 4 slot which comes with 150,000 x bet max wins.
