Relax Gaming is certainly not averse to leading the way within the slots space. From numerous trains to multiple tumbles, the studio has delivered hit after hit – and has the awards to back it up.
However, three years ago another significant string was added to the bow courtesy of the Dream Drop jackpot mechanic. In addition to granting millions in prizes, this has also produced numerous mega jackpot winners.
In conversation with iGaming Expert, Alastair Smith, Jackpot Business Owner at Relax Gaming, dissects what exactly is behind this popularity, and what could be next to heighten admiration from a player perspective.
iGaming Expert: How will this new iteration of the Dream Drop Jackpot differ from the original?
Alastair Smith: Dream Drop has carved out a niche in the market by offering high-ticket, high-frequency jackpot wins. With our recent Dream Drop enhancements, we’re turning up the heat by adjusting the mega jackpot’s must-drop value, ensuring it hits more frequently and keeps the action intense.
On top of that, we’ve introduced three guaranteed daily jackpots every single day. This adds a brand-new layer of excitement to the network, creating multiple peak anticipation moments and giving players something to aim for around the clock.
iGX: The Dream Drop Jackpot is incredibly popular with players around the world, what made Relax Gaming want to change the formula?
AS: The original Dream Drop has already proven itself as the industry’s most consistent millionaire-maker. But we didn’t want to rest on our laurels. By evolving the product, we’re responding directly to player and operator feedback.
Daily jackpots were a natural next step, offering more frequent wins, more engagement, and ultimately more value. We’ve kept the DNA of Dream Drop intact while enhancing it to remain the most thrilling jackpot experience available today
iGX: How much of a difference do you think lowering the must-drop threshold will make to players looking to achieve a jackpot win?
AS: Honestly, more than you might expect! Of course, players are going for that mega jackpot win but, with increased play comes increased opportunities to win the other jackpots too. For example, during periods of high activity, our ~€50K major has dropped 5 times in 24 hours!
I know it’s not the ~€2M many might be hoping for, but it’s still an incredible amount of money to win! By increasing the frequency of top-tier wins across the board, players are getting more chances to experience those life-changing moments. It keeps the Dream Drop ecosystem hot, lively and most importantly, rewarding.
iGX: Finally, which elements of the updated Dream Drop Jackpot excites you the most?
AS: For me, it’s all about the experience we’re delivering to players and partners. With Dream Drop, we’re offering more frequent wins, tighter gameplay integration, and more value than ever before.
It’s exciting to see the product evolve without losing what made it special in the first place. It’s still the Dream Drop that players know and love, just with a turbocharged twist that keeps them coming back for more.
