Wild Hop & Drop

A Frog-Filled Cluster Adventure from Pragmatic Play

How the Cluster Pays Grid Works

There are no fixed paylines here. Wins are formed when at least six matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically anywhere on the 6x6 grid. The bigger the cluster, the bigger the payout, and clusters of 26 or more symbols land the top rewards. Three premium frogs (blue, pink and green) sit above the lower-paying icons, with the green frog as the most valuable symbol on the board. Winning clusters clear and new symbols drop in to fill the gaps, so a single spin can chain into several connected wins.

The Hopping Wild Symbol

The centerpiece is a roaming frog wild that substitutes for every paying symbol. What makes it distinctive is its size: in the base game it can land as a 1x1 block or expand up to a giant 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 or even a full 6x6 wild. A 6x6 wild that covers the whole grid pays the maximum win outright. Because the wild can stand in for any frog, an oversized wild dropping into a busy board is how the game manufactures its biggest moments.

Free Spins and the Growing Wild

Landing four or more Firefly bonus symbols on a single spin triggers the Free Spins round, starting with six spins and a 1x1 wild. From there the feature is all about growth: collect sets of Firefly symbols during the round to upgrade the wild's size one step at a time, while extra spins are awarded along the way as the wild expands. The longer you keep feeding it, the larger that wild becomes, pushing closer to a screen-filling result. For players who would rather skip the wait, a Feature Buy lets you purchase direct entry to the Free Spins for 100x your bet.

RTP and Volatility

The default return-to-player sits at 96.46%, slightly above the common industry baseline of around 96%. Operators may run alternative maths models at lower percentages, so it is worth checking the RTP shown in the paytable before you play elsewhere. Volatility is high: expect plenty of quiet spins broken up by occasional bursts when a large wild or a deep free-spins run lands. This is a slot that rewards patience rather than steady drip-feed wins.

Maximum Win Potential

The win is capped at 5,000x your total stake. That ceiling is reached most directly through the maxed-out 6x6 wild, or by stacking large clusters and an upgraded wild during Free Spins. It is a more grounded figure than some of Pragmatic Play's headline releases, but combined with the high volatility it still gives the bonus round real meaning when it finally arrives.

Betting Range and Mobile Play

Stakes start from 0.20 per spin, scaling up for higher rollers, so the game suits a range of balances. The 6x6 grid scales cleanly to smaller screens and the controls stay easy to reach, so the mobile experience matches the desktop one feature for feature.

Try the Free Demo

The demo runs the full game, so it is a sensible way to see how often the Firefly bonus triggers and how the growing wild behaves before deciding whether the high-volatility style suits you.
