Hercules Unleashed Dream Drop is a Dream Drop slot by Relax Gaming. It’s a fantastically potent game, what with its Dream Drop progressive jackpots (yes, this is a Dream Drop slot) and it’s epic visuals. If you are a fan of Greek slots, Relax Gaming, and progressive jackpots stacked in tiers, this is a great game for you to try out.

Hercules Unleashed is indeed, Hercules unleashed. The Roman demigod – who is the Roman equivalent to the Greek demigod Heracles – is supposedly the strongest man that ever lived. In this slot, many of his adventures are explored. Slay beasts and go down to the underworld to unlock Free Spins and get the max winning prize worth 10,000x. Or, you know, you can unlock one of Dream Drop progressive jackpots if you want, yeah. Check out our game review below for more details.

Hercules Unleashed Dream Drop online slot is a video slot that’s part of the Dream Drop progressive jackpot network by Relax Gaming. That is the first info you should know about this game, even though the jackpots aren’t that highlighted throughout the game. It seems that the biggest focus lies on Free Spins, but we’ll get to that.

Heracles – or in this case, Hercules, as is known in the Roman mythology – is a Greek demigod with superhuman strength. He’s also famous for a slew of adventures and myths talking about his immense cunning, luck, and quick-thinking. As a result, he’s one of the most known figures in both Roman and Greek mythologies. In Hercules Unleashed, he is fighting against some of the biggest beasts in all of Greece, and the stakes are very high.  There are 5 reels and 5 rows, as well as 259-664 ways to win. The thing that we did not exactly like is the low RTP rate which is only 94% – but we do know that it’s because of the 12% jackpot commission, so… Volatility is high (max level). On the other hand, hit frequency is also uncharacteristically high, levelled at 40.61%.

If you want to play the game, you have a betting rage that starts at $0.20 and goes up to $100. If you want, you can also play the game for free at your favourite Relax Gaming casinos.

The lowest possible bet in Hercules Unleashed Dream Drop online slot is $0.20 per spin. On the other side of the betting range is the maximum bet capped at $100 per round. We recommend going in with smaller bets considering the game is a highly volatile slot with 94% RTP. Yes, the hit frequency reaches 40.61%, but that is not a strong guarantee you will win big or get a reasonable return of the money you’ve invested. Moreover, you can easily run into a dry spell, which is something we all want to avoid.

Game symbols are, as always, faithful to the theme to a T. There are game royals J, Q, K, and A paying 0.20x to 0.50x. They are followed by the higher-ups which are the beasts –  the Nemean Lion, the Cretan Bull, the Lernaean Hydra, and Cerberus which pay from 0.30x to 2x if you catch 5OAK.  Last but not least, Hercules makes an appearance as the game’s main symbol worth 1x-4x for a 5OAK.

The game’s max win is capped at 10,000x the stake.

Now, this is where things get interesting. Features included in Hercules Unleashed include Respins, Free Spins as the Beast Slayer Bonus Round, and Dream Drop Jackpots.

The Respins are easy to understand. The first reel can become covered with a stacked premium icon (the four beasts). When this happens, the Respin is awarded. Even in the case of a partially shown symbol, it will probably nudge to cover the entire reel. Respins are fun because instances of the nudged icon are sticky, while others spin in the hope of activating multipliers or grid expansions. Ultimately, you can land one extra row and up to 10 new reels. Plus, Multipliers reach up to 5x.

On the other hand we have Free Spins. This feature is a Bonus Slayer feature which is – of course – themed after scoring beasts. It is a play on Respins, with the Lion, Hydra, and Bull landing on the left side and potentially landing on the grid. It’s a Respin game with 3 respins that reset when you land extra icons. Potential icons are Multipliers and Reel Expansions (an extra row or reel). However, one thing that the feature includes is a Collection Meter which, when filled, unlocks the next phase of Free Spins (or the next beast you need to slay, that is.). You can go on until you fill out the entire grid or run out of Respins.

Finally, you have the Dream Drop jackpots which may randomly drop. On any spin, you might get a Jackpot Spin with DD icons. If you have 5 DD icons on the grid you unlock one of four progressive jackpots: Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major, or Mega. Rapid is a quick and small prize reward.
