Tetris Extreme MegaDrop Slot

Graphics

The first thing we notice when we play this slot is that it’s much brighter than the original Game Boy version. Played in a similar way to Tetris but with a twist to traditional online slots play, we see an empty grid for the Tetrimino blocks to fall down into.

The familiar shaped L-shape, T-shape, step, long and square blocks all appear in different colours, with seven of them in total. The shapes can be rotated in any fashion and dropped into a position. There’s a Free Spins meter to the left of us and we can see the Mega Drop jackpots to the right.

Essentially, everything’s in sight for us to begin an epic Tetris journey.

Gameplay

As with the original Tetris game the aim of this slot is to clear lines that span across the game board, but there’s an added twist here. If it was up to us to create the lines then we’d all be millionaires! So you don’t have any control over how the blocks fall in this version.

Rather the game creates lines, and for every line you clear you add a multiplier to the Multiplier Meter. When you clear a line, more blocks from the top appear in a cascading fashion, similar to Avalanche Reels on slots like Gonzo’s Quest. When we clear 15 or more lines on one spin, we get 10 Free Spins, during which the Gold Tetromino can fall at any time and acts almost like a Wild as it helps clear lines.

As for base game payouts, we need to land a cluster of nine or more of the same symbol, either horizontally or vertically. When we do this we get a win but, more importantly, the cluster win is boosted by the multiplier meter. With loads of Multipliers to play for, there’s a real potential to land some generous wins.

But even better is that this slot is part of a Progressive Jackpot – the Mega Drop – with the Minor, Major and Epic jackpot to play for. They can be won on any random spin and tell you their current amount in real-time.

Verdict

Perhaps the best thing about this slot is that it has the familiar Tetris soundtrack, which kicks in as soon as we start playing. Next to that is the innovative spin on the game, clearing lines and gaining Multipliers at the same time.

The innovative spin on this slot is definitely a sign of the ongoing slots evolution, playing as a lot and instant win hybrid, but for video game fans and those who want to try something new, Tetris Extreme Megadrop delivers. To the extreme.
