Templar Tumble Dream Drop Slot Review

Templar Tumble Dream Drop RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Templar Tumble Dream Drop slot is played on 6 reels and has 117,649 ways to win. Winners are formed by matching symbols from left to right, regardless of vertical position, beginning from the leftmost reel.

Stakes range from just 20p up to £50 per spin. Hit the coins icon beside the spin button to adjust your total bet. There are numerous bet values to choose from, with 20p to £1 going up in 10p increments. Autospins and turbo spins are also possible for non-UK players.

The Templar Tumble Dream Drop RTP is 94%, which is well below the industry average, but very typical of many jackpot slots. This includes a 12% jackpot contribution. The hit rate is 20%, which means that 1 in 5 spins on average will result in a winner. In terms of volatility, it’s as high as it can be and rated 5 out of 5 by the provider.

The maximum win is 17,371.5 x the bet. But there is much more potential on offer in the Dream Drop feature where you have the chance to land a win that’s often in the millions of pounds.

Theme – conquer the pyramids

The medieval theme has been done well here and it matches the original Templar Tumble slot that was released back in March of 2021. Set in the Middle Ages, it’s difficult to understand where the reels are set (it looks like it could be the side of a church.), but the stonework looks great and I like the stone carvings on either side of the reels.

The soundtrack is quite calming and mellow. Part of it sounds like a Christmas song is about to start with the chiming likened to something more festive. You need to keep spinning the reels though, otherwise, the audio will go silent. The addition of the harp and the operatic voice is a nice touch. The audio may not fully match the theme, but I still like it.

On the reels, the different coloured gems make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by mid-range symbols of the tree of life, a bird and a lion. The higher-paying ones are a ring and a knight’s mask. The mask is the most lucrative symbol, paying 0.6, 1, 1.6 or 2 x your total stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination respectively.

The game doesn’t have a Scatter symbol, but instead has the usual Wild and also a Mystery symbol. Here’s a useful table showing the symbols on offer in the game and the payout information for each:

Symbol	Payout/Info
Blue Gem	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4 x stake
Green Gem	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4 x stake
Pink Gem	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4 x stake
Red Gem	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4 x stake
Tree of Life	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.6 x stake
Bird	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 or 0.8 x stake
Lion	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 or 1 x stake
Ring	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1.2 x stake
Mask	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.6, 1, 1.6 or 2 x stake
Wild	Substitutes for all symbols
Mystery	Turns into a paying symbol or a coin for an instant prize

Templar Tumble Dream Drop mobile

Released on the 21st of November 2023, the Templar Tumble Dream Drop mobile slot was produced using the latest HTML5 technology. Available to play on mobile, laptop, PC and tablet devices, smartphone players can enjoy this medieval-themed slot on iOS and Android. However, I do personally prefer slots with this reel size on a bigger screen to appreciate the visuals fully.

Templar Tumble Dream Drop Bonus Features

There are 4 bonus features in the Templar Tumble Dream Drop slot game. From free spins and mystery symbols to jackpot spins and the much-loved Dream Drop bonus feature, there’s a lot to unpack. Let’s start but explaining how the mystery symbols work.

Mystery Reveal feature

If a Wild lands in the base game or in the Free Spins feature, a number of symbols will transform into Mystery symbols. In the base game they’ll change into blockers, and in the Free spins feature they will change into normal symbols. These symbols will remain on the reels until no more wins are formed.

They will then either turn into the same normal symbol or each one will turn into a coin symbol. The coin symbols award instant prizes anywhere between 1x and 1,000x. During the Free Spins feature, the coin symbols can also award an additional free spin.

Free Spins Feature

You will trigger this bonus feature if you manage to destroy all of the blocker symbols in the base game. You will start with 6 free spins. It’s worth noting here that no blocker symbols are present during the bonus round.

As you spin away, a number of normal symbols will be transformed into Mystery symbols if a Wild lands on the reels. The Mystery symbols will continue to accumulate until no more wins are awarded, at which time they are activated.

Once the Mystery symbols are activated, they’ll turn into either the same normal symbol or a Coin symbol, which will award an instant prize of 1-1,000x. Coin symbols can also award an additional free spin with no upper limit on the number of free spins you could get.

Dream Drop Bonus Feature

Before the Dream Drop bonus feature is triggered, you need to land a jackpot spin. The jackpot spin can trigger randomly on any spin. Only stone blockers and DD symbols are on the reels. The Dream Drop bonus feature is triggered when you land 6 DD symbols.

Once the main Dream Drop bonus feature is triggered from the jackpot spin, you simply need to fill up a jackpot column with DD symbols, as shown in the screenshot above. The corresponding jackpot is won once that column is filled. The jackpots available are:

• Rapid
• Midi
• Maxi
• Major
• Mega

Obviously, the smaller jackpots have fewer blocks to fill. I tested this quite a few times and won the Rapid jackpot each time. When it comes to the jackpot prizes, here’s what’s on offer:

Templar Tumble Dream Drop Slot Review Summary – very similar to the original with a jackpot attached

This jackpot series of games continues to excite players with the huge jackpots on offer. Relax Gaming sums it up perfectly:

“A DD symbol on each reel could mean a €3 million prize pool for one lucky player as it unlocks the coveted jackpot round. Players must conquer the pyramid’s reel to claim its treasure, will they have what it takes to tumble with the templar knights and walk away victorious?”

Away from the jackpots, the gameplay is exactly the same as the original slot, although the max win potential is ever so slightly higher here at 17,371.5 x the bet. Volatility here is understandably higher due to the Dream Drop element and so too is the RTP at 94%. Personally, I would say only play this if you’re interested in the jackpots. If not, switch to the original game with a higher RTP rate and less volatility.

The visuals are good and the soundtrack didn’t have me reaching for the mute button, which is always refreshing to see. With a hit rate of 20%, don’t expect a constant flow of winners. Furthermore, when testing this slot thoroughly, it’s worth noting that I landed the jackpot spin numerous times, but it took me quite a while to trigger the Free Spins feature.

As a medieval alternative, if this one doesn’t quite do it for you then I’d suggest Play’n GO’s Return of the Green Knight slot. It has some fun bonus features and 40,000 x max wins.

Here’s a list of other top Dream Drop slot options if you want to get stuck into some more after sampling this one:
