How to cite

Slot Summary

A six-reel cluster format gives Wild Hop and Drop its fallback structure, but the decisive object is a Wild frog that can expand as Bonus symbols accumulate. Pragmatic Play connects that growth to additional Free Spins and a 5000x ceiling, so the game's High volatility comes from sustaining one feature state rather than following fixed paylines. The listed RTP is 95.33%.
MechanicsBonus collection enlarges the persistent Wild

How It Plays

Matching groups must contain at least 6 touching symbols, so the base loop depends on connected clusters rather than left-to-right payline combinations.

A regular Wild and a larger random Wild can help complete those groups, giving the center of the grid more importance when several symbols connect.

Theme & Atmosphere

The Animals theme uses an oversized frog as the functional lead, connecting its leaps and growth directly to Wild placement rather than decorative animation.

Jungle and Nature elements provide the habitat for that character, while the presentation stays focused on readable symbol groups and the expanding frog shape.

Features & Win Potential

Cluster Pays defines the win system, while the Mega Symbol Wild can occupy a large section of the Grid and connect otherwise separated groups.

Level Up and Symbol Collection become linked during the feature: gathering Bonus symbols supplies the Energy needed to enlarge the Wild and add more rounds.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins begin when at least 4 Scatter-style Bonus symbols land, awarding 6 rounds with the Wild frog active on the Grid.

Every set of 4 additional Bonus symbols grants Additional Free Spins and increases the Wild's size, continuing until the collection stops or the frog fills the screen.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.33%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
