Drop The Boss is a video slot game developed by Microgaming, one of the most renowned providers in the industry. Released in 2022, this five-reel, three-row slot features an exciting theme centered around corporate settings and power struggles.
Theme and Design
The game’s theme revolves around office politics, where players assume the role of a young executive vying for control against their demanding boss. The setting demo mode is depicted through colorful graphics and cartoon-style illustrations. Symbols include various characters related to the storyline, such as employees, colleagues, and corporate icons like laptops, phones, and briefcases.
Symbols
The regular paytable symbols are divided into three categories: low-paying (9-A), mid-paying ( employee icons with different expressions), and high-paying (key staff members). The wild symbol is represented by a mysterious woman in a suit, while the scatter is denoted by a red-painted door labeled ‘Executive’.
Payouts
The payout system of Drop The Boss follows standard slot rules: regular wins are awarded for sequential combinations along the winning lines. Payout amounts vary according to symbol value and number of matching symbols.
Wild Symbol
The wild symbol can appear on any reel, substituting other icons in combination with paylines except scatter wins. Wilds also form part of qualifying consecutive line arrangements if more than one appears as a single icon per position where the winning sequence is completed by non-wild or no special (e.g., only 3 and/or only) wilds that would complete that particular winning.
Scatter Symbol
A minimum of three scatters across reels triggers free spins. A spin bonus feature occurs upon this occurrence, displaying how many times it will be performed on top of each subsequent attempt from thereon when a new game starts without needing anything else done beforehand (as in normal conditions) before spinning round again afterward having run its course until completion without intervention; except by player.
Bonus Features
Free Spins:
- Triggering free spins:
- With minimum 3 Scatters anywhere across reel positions (anywhere not covered with a ‘lock’ icon).
- Starting at x1 multiplier for three scatter symbols appearing on reels as stated earlier but changing after landing four of these.
- Each time this happens during initial game – starting point is always reset so every round you’d start out fresh w/o prior wins influencing it yet.
Free Spins and Multipliers
In addition, other features like Sticky Wilds (for some combinations), Reels re-spinning to fill empty space left behind after another losing attempt when necessary based on set limits chosen beforehand upon game initialization occur simultaneously alongside their individual triggering conditions depending mostly around winning probabilities already mentioned above elsewhere within article.
RTP and Volatility
