The slot adopts a medieval theme centered around the Knights Templar, an ancient military order. In contrast to its predecessor's bright and airy atmosphere, Templar Tumble 2 Dream Drop presents a grim and foreboding setting. The game to take place in a dark Templar fortress, creating an oppressive ambiance that aligns with its high volatility gameplay.

Core Gameplay and Mechanics

Templar Tumble 2 Dream Drop features a 6-reel, 7-row grid with 117,649 ways to win. The game employs a tumble mechanic, where winning symbols and adjacent blocker tiles are removed after each win, allowing new symbols to fall into place. This process continues until no new wins are formed.

Wins are created by landing matching symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel. The game does not include wild symbols, which is an notable omission for a modern video slot.

The slot utilizes a highly volatile math model with a return to player (RTP) of 94%, of which 12% contributes to the jackpot pools. Bets range from 0.20 to 100 in the player's currency.

Symbol values are relatively low, with six-of-a-kind combinations of high-paying symbols awarding only 1-2 times the bet. This payout structure emphasizes the importance of creating multiple wins in a single spin sequence to accumulate significant payouts.

Bonus Features

Templar Tumble 2 Dream Drop incorporates several bonus features:

• Dream Drop Jackpots: This feature can randomly trigger on any spin. Players get one spin on a special 6×7 grid with only DD symbols and blocks. If DD symbols land on all six reels, the game advances to the Dream Drop Bonus. Here, players aim to fill reels with DD symbols to win one of five progressive jackpots: Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major, or Mega. The Mega jackpot starts at €500,000 and is planned to be capped at €10 million.
  
• Marked Symbols: Some symbols and blocker tiles appear with red or blue frames. When destroyed, these add points to corresponding collection meters. Every 5 points collected activates or levels up a feature.
• Win Multiplier: Associated with blue marked symbols, this feature increases the win multiplier by 1 for each level completed. The multiplier applies to the total win at the end of a tumble sequence.
• Mystery Reveal: Tied to red marked symbols, this feature adds 2 mystery symbols to the reels for each completed level, up to a maximum of 21 levels. Mystery symbols reveal either regular pay symbols or coin symbols worth 1-100 times the stake.
• Free Spins: Triggered by collecting 3 scatter symbols, awarding 10 free spins. Progress on collection meters carries over from the base game.
