Dead Man's Trail Dream Drop review

Theme and Storyline

Dead Man's Trail Dream Drop transports players into a dark pirate fantasy.

On a misty day, players will board a ship and begin to sail the Caribbean in search of treasure. However, stormy seas, pirates, and ancient curses will make this adventure anything but simple.

Fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise will especially enjoy this slot.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Dead Man's Trail Dream Drop’s soundtrack blends a haunting melody with the splashing of waves. This reinforces the ocean setting and provides a relaxing atmosphere.

On the reels, players will meet a cast of pirates including a beautiful enigmatic woman wielding a flintlock pistol, and a calculating man wearing an eyepatch. A particularly intimidating man armed with two swords looks as if he should not be trifled with.

A range of letters also appear among the symbols each animated in a classic font. This brings to mind the cryptic writing that might be legible on a treasure map.

In the background, players will see an eerie seaside scene. Palm trees suggest a tropical climate as sailors board a large ship by lantern light. The misty sky suggests a stormy day is ahead.

Overall, the soundtrack and animation of Dead Man's Trail Dream Drop create an eerie pirate world.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols when calculating wins.

The Trail Bonus is triggered when players land at least 3 Bonus symbols on the reels. Players have a pawn that moves 1-9 positions per turn. Depending on the tile that the pawn lands on, different features will occur as follows:

• Normal Tiles award the displayed prize.
• Start Tiles prompts a retrigger.
• End Tiles will bring the end of the Bonus, awarding the total win.
• Mystery Chest triggers a variety of additional special features ranging from multipliers to resets to collection of all Normal Tiles.

The Dream Drop Bonus is triggered when players fill all reels with Dream Drop symbols in a jackpot prespin. During the Dream Drop Bonus, the player’s pawn moves 1-9 steps per turn. When players land on a Jackpot icon, that Jackpot meter will fill by +1. The Jackpot concludes when players succeed in filling one of the Jackpot meters. The corresponding Jackpot is then awarded. Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major, and Mega Jackpots are all available.

The Coin feature begins when players land Coin symbols on at least 3 reels. The amount of all displayed on all visible coins is then awarded.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€30 per spin.

The high volatility of Dead Man's Trail Dream Drop makes it a good match for our preferred slot machine strategies. We suggest targeting the highest possible volatility when choosing slots.

Conclusion

We do not recommend this low RTP, high volatility, pirate adventure-themed slot.

Although the animation and bonuses are compelling, the RTP leaves something to be desired for Dead Man's Trail Dream Drop.

Players may wish to head to the original Dead Man's Trail, which offers a more favorable RTP.
