Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop

Relax calls the mechanic Tumbles, the studio's version of Cascading Reels.

Whenever a winning combination forms, the winning symbols disappear and new symbols fall into the vacant positions. If those new symbols create another win, the process repeats.

It's particularly important here because Tumbles aren't simply a method of creating consecutive wins. Winning symbols can also destroy adjacent stone blocks, meaning every successful cascade can move you closer towards Free Spins.

That gives even relatively modest wins another purpose.

You're not only looking at what they pay. You're looking at what they've managed to demolish.

Stone Blocks act as Blocker Symbols across the 6x6 grid and form the basis of the game's progression system.

Adjacent winning combinations destroy them, with Tumbles potentially allowing several layers of destruction during the same paid spin. Clear every block from the grid and six Free Spins are awarded.

This is one of the better aspects of the base game because it creates a clear visual objective.

Instead of simply waiting for three Scatters to land, you can physically see the temple being dismantled as successful combinations remove more blocks.

Destroy every regular Stone Block and Temple Tumble 2 awards six Free Spins.

Six initially sounds rather stingy.

The important difference is that clearing all the blocks again during the feature awards three additional Free Spins, and there is no simple vanilla version of the bonus. Special Stone Blocks introduce different modifiers depending on the selected mode.

That makes the quality of those six spins considerably more important than the quantity.

During Free Spins, some blocks become Special Stone Blocks, essentially acting as Feature Modifiers.

Depending on the selected Free Spins mode, destroying these can award Extra Spins, Increasing Multipliers, Persistent Wilds or Symbol Transformations.

This is where Temple Tumble 2 becomes substantially more interesting.

The player isn't simply selecting a different background or volatility label. Different block combinations change what you're trying to uncover as the grid is demolished.

One Free Spins configuration contains special Multiplier Blocks, which increase the feature's total win multiplier when activated.

Documented values add 1x, 2x or 3x to the multiplier, allowing successful sequences to progressively strengthen the feature.

This works particularly well alongside Tumbles because consecutive wins can simultaneously remove more blocks and develop the multiplier.

There's a genuine feeling of digging deeper into the temple and finding increasingly useful things behind the walls.

Special Extra Spin Blocks can award 1, 2 or 3 Additional Free Spins when activated.

Again, these interact nicely with the grid clearing objective.

You're trying to destroy all the blocks to earn another three spins anyway, while individual blocks can provide extra spins along the way.

Six Free Spins suddenly doesn't look quite so miserly.

Another feature configuration introduces a Persistent Wild, which falls under the broader Sticky Wild family of mechanics.

Rather than disappearing normally after participating in a Tumble, these Wild positions can remain relevant across subsequent action during the feature. Relax officially identifies Persistent Wilds as one of Temple Tumble 2's main Free Spins modifiers.

Persistent Wilds and Cascading Reels are a naturally strong combination because the grid keeps changing around a useful position that refuses to leave.

Sometimes stubbornness is a perfectly respectable slot strategy.

The Fire Transform is Temple Tumble 2's version of a Symbol Transformation mechanic.

It appears within one of the alternative Free Spins configurations alongside Persistent Wilds, transforming symbols to improve the potential for further combinations.

This gives players a genuinely different bonus route from the multiplier focused option rather than simply changing a couple of numbers behind the scenes.

The Dream Drop is a networked Progressive Jackpot and easily the game's biggest talking point.

Temple Tumble 2 was the very first Relax Gaming title to incorporate Dream Drop, which subsequently developed into a much wider jackpot network.

A randomly triggered Jackpot Entry Spin can provide access to the Dream Drop feature. Landing six Dream Drop symbols during the entry process activates the jackpot mechanic, where players can pursue one of the available progressive prizes.

The five jackpot levels are Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major and Mega, with the Mega historically carrying a must drop ceiling of €10 million.

This absolutely deserves consideration in the review because it isn't merely a fixed Grand prize attached to the bonus. It's a genuine progressive network jackpot with independently changing prize values.

And unlike some theoretical jackpot maximum that nobody seems to encounter, Dream Drop has repeatedly produced seven figure winners on this very game.
