Drill the Thrill

ABOUT THE GAME

Drill the Thrill is an electrifying 5-reel game with multiple ways to win, set in a fiery underground mine where roaring drills and expanding reels spit out buried fortunes. The base game features a 3-4-4-4-3 reel layout, with reels 2, 3, and 4 capable of expanding to 5, 6, 7, or 8 symbols during the Drill it Hard feature. On any given spin, a Silver Drill can burst onto the grid and trigger the Drill it Hard feature, expanding the middle reels and revealing multiplier-laden Coin and Jackpot symbols. If a Golden Drill lands while a Silver Drill is active, the action escalates into a Hold & Win frenzy where all Coin and Jackpot symbols become sticky. The excitement reaches its peak in the Blast Zone Bonus game, where every spin can increase the intensity and the rewards can keep growing.

The maximum win in this game is 10,000 times your stake and can be achieved in all game modes.

FUNCTIONS

DRILL IT HARD FUNCTION

Silver Drill

The Silver Drill can start at different heights (1, 2 or full symbol height), but it will always expand to fully fit reel 1, turning it into a stacked Wild reel and activating the Drill it Hard feature.

Reel Expansion

When activated, reels 2, 3, and 4 expand together from their base height of 4 symbols to a new height of 5, 6, 7, or a maximum of 8 symbols. Reel 1 and reel 5 always remain at a fixed height of 3 symbols. After expansion, Coin and Jackpot symbols can land on reels 2, 3, and 4 along with regular symbols. At least one regular symbol will always land on each expanded reel.

Each Coin symbol carries a bet multiplier value of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 20x, 50x or 100x.

Jackpot symbols can also land alongside regular symbols that pay and award fixed bet multipliers:

Mini: 10x

Minor: 100x

Major: 500x

Grand: 2,500x

Golden Drill

After reels 2, 3, and 4 have stopped, reel 5 has a chance to display a Golden Drill. The Golden Drill can only appear if the Silver Drill feature has already been triggered.

If no Golden Drill appears, all Coin and Jackpot values, as well as any winnings from regular symbols, are paid out and the feature ends.

If the Golden Drill lands, it expands to fill reel 5 completely, forming a stacked Wild reel. All wins from regular symbols are paid out immediately, while Coin and Jackpot symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 remain on screen and become sticky, triggering Hold & Win mode.

Hold & Win

Hold & Win mode begins with 3 respins. The Coin and Jackpot symbols remain locked in position. Positions without Coin or Jackpot symbols are filled by Void symbols. Only positions with Void symbols remain active and perform individual respins on reels 2, 3, and 4. Void symbols do not award prizes and have no other effect.

Each time a new Coin or Jackpot symbol appears, it replaces a Void symbol, locks into position, and resets the respin counter to 3. All collected symbols remain locked for the duration of the feature. Respins continue until no more respins remain or all expanded reel positions are occupied.

If all positions are filled, the maximum win is awarded instantly. Hold & Win mode will also end immediately and award the maximum win if the total Coin and Jackpot value reaches 10,000 times the bet.

If none of the maximum conditions are met, all Coin and Jackpot values on the screen are converted into cash and paid to the player before returning to the base game.

BLAST ZONE BONUS

Landing 3 FS Scatter symbols triggers 5 free spins.

The same mechanics apply as in the base game, with the added improvement that in each free spin reel 1 is always filled with a Silver Drill symbol, ensuring that the Drill it Hard feature is active on every free spin.

Free spins cannot be re-triggered during Blast Zone Bonus.

SPECIAL SYMBOLS

The Silver Drill is an expanding Wild symbol that can only land on reel 1.

The Golden Drill is an expanding Wild symbol that can only land on reel 5 and only after a Silver Drill has landed on reel 1. Both Wild symbols substitute for all symbols on the paytable.

The FS Scatter symbols appear only in the base game. They can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, with a maximum of 1 FS Scatter per reel.

The Coin symbols award instant cash prizes, each displaying a bet multiplier value. They do not appear in the normal base game and can only appear during the Drill it Hard feature on reels 2, 3, and 4.

Jackpot symbols award fixed multiplier prizes based on the bet amount. They can only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 during the Drill it Hard feature.

The prizes for the symbols shown above reflect the currently selected bet level. The theoretical return to player (RTP) for this game is 94.32%. The RTP was calculated simulating 10,000,000,000 rounds.

WAYS TO WIN

The requirements specified for a winning combination in the base game also apply during bonus features or free spins, unless otherwise stated. Each bet is eligible for all winning combinations, unless otherwise stated.

You win if matching symbols appear on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. Each winning combination of matching symbols creates a way to win. The number of possible ways to win in this game is 4608. See the paytable to see how many of each symbol you need to win.

The results of a completed round (where the results display was interrupted) will only be displayed again within the game if they were winning rounds, but all game rounds can be reviewed in the Game History. Any amount wagered on an unfinished game will remain on hold until you complete the game or it is voided due to account inactivity or system maintenance. When an unfinished game is voided, your bet will be refunded to your account. Winnings earned in an unfinished round will not be credited unless you resume and complete the game. Winnings from unfinished game rounds where the player can no longer influence the outcome will be automatically credited to the player's account after 2 days. Game rounds that require additional player action to determine the outcome will remain incomplete for two days. After this period, a predetermined selection will automatically be made to complete the round and credit the corresponding winnings to the player's account. Game rounds will never be affected by unforeseen external errors due to hardware, bandwidth, network issues, or similar problems. Game rounds will be saved and completed by the player at a later date, or they will be closed and the stake refunded. If an incomplete game round has not been resumed after one day, it will be canceled and the stake refunded.
