5k Gold Mine Dream Drop Review

We understood right away that this was no ordinary mining slot, and we’re not even talking about the Dream Drop progressive jackpot system. 5k Gold Mine Dream Drop comes with what looks like a board game trail around the regular 5x4 sized grid, and it’s filled with cash prizes up to 5,000x, as well as different features you can trigger. This makes the base game highly entertaining and varied, and the same goes for the bonus round.

In fact, the bonus round is even more fun, as you are guaranteed to collect all cash prizes you land on, and there is a mystery prize pick game as well. The visual presentation is colorful and engaging, with massive blue crystals on either side of the grid, and you can win up to 5,500x your stake in the regular game. The Mega Jackpot seeds at €500,000, however, so massive payouts are possible. There is always plenty going on in this game, so strap yourself in for a volatile and entertaining thrillride.

5k Gold Mine Dream Drop Slot Features

You win by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels from the uttermost left to the right, and the premium symbols pay between 2 and 4 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The dynamite Wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and it can appear on any reel in all stages of the game.

The Gold Rush Trail runs around the main grid like board game style train tracks, and each square on this trail comes with different kinds of rewards.

5k Gold Mine Dream Drop Slot Gameplay

A mining cart will move around this trail to land you prizes and trigger features, and it moves around via special scatter symbols that award 1 of the 5 following features:

  • Move X - displays a number and a direction, and the mining cart moves accordingly.
  • Collect - pays the cash prize value of the current trail square the mining cart sits on. The mining cart will then move back to the starting position.
  • Restart - moves the mining cart to the starting position, while also paying the starting position cash prize.
  • Cash Prize - awards a random cash prize.
  • Dream Drop - triggers the Dream Drop Jackpot Game.

When you get the Collect result from a scatter, you can get cash prizes, free spins, a mystery prize, or the Dream Drop Jackpot Game, depending on which square the mining cart sits on. The mystery prize displays 3 gems to pick from, and your pick will award either a cash prize, Collect X, Move X, the bonus round, or the DD Jackpot Game. It can also give you the Restart feature, and trail positions are saved between bet levels.

You get 10 free spins when the Bonus Round triggers, and scatters give you cash prizes or Move plus Pay. The latter moves the cart to a new position, and pays its cash prize without needing the Collect feature.

Also, the cart does not restart when you win this way, and you can land on free spin squares to get +5 or +10 extra spins.

Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can buy the free spins round for 100x the stake. If eligible, you can also pay 150x your stake to get the Gold Rush Trail Mega Spin. This gives you 5 scatters where prize collection is guaranteed.

The Dream Drop Jackpot Game is different than usual in this game. When triggered, the jackpot reel will spin, and this moves the mining cart around a jackpot trail. Each square displays 1 of the 5 possible progressive jackpots, and you need to land Collect on the Jackpot Reel to win whatever jackpot the mining cart sits on. These are the Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major, and Mega jackpots, and the big one starts at €500,000. It can grow up to €10 million (at least at some future point).

Review Summary

We really enjoyed the Gold Rush Trail system you get in this game, and it certainly makes 5k Gold Mine Dream Drop stick out from most slots out there. The mining theme is charming as usual, but the squeaky spin sound you get all the time gets a tad annoying after a while. The mining trail system can be confusing at first, but it will make sense once you get into the swing of things. It sort of provides you with a learning curve that most online slots don’t really do.

The largest trail cash prizes are found on the top trail above the grid, and the center position awards 5,000x your stake. The system keeps the base game highly varied and entertaining, and we also like that the Dream Drop jackpot feature plays out in a similar way. You will move around a smaller trail with only jackpot prizes, and it can be nerve racking if the cart sits on the sole Mega Jackpot position.
