Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop Slot Review
Prepare for salvation by means of detonation in Print Studios’ ongoing sequel, Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop!
The pastor with a keen eye for explosives is back, only this time, he’s brought the fire to the city. Once a beloved pastor in a quaint village church, he claims to have seen God in the flames, and now his holy mission has evolved into a full-blown crusade.
With a following of suspiciously clever goats at his side, the line between prophet and puppet blurs into one…who’s really leading the flock?
The key to a successful sequel is simple, according to Print Studios – keep everything that worked, upgrade what can be improved, and never mess with the magic. Print Studios has pulled all the best bits from the original Holy Hand Grenade release, while introducing 3 all-new Free Spins modes that deliver suspense, excitement, and the right amount of chaos.
Holy Hand Grenade 2 goes off with a ‘bang’ thanks to the inclusion of Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop mechanic, where players can get a taste of 6 Jackpot Prizes. This mechanic injects fresh excitement into every base game spin.
With explosive potential of up to 30,000x your bet, this isn’t just a second coming…it’s a fully-fledged, goat-fueled reckoning!
Base Game & Features
Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop is a 10/10, highly volatile video slot from Print Studios, consisting of 5 reels, 4 rows, and 26-52 fixed pay lines. Winning combinations are established when 3-6 matching symbols land from left to right, starting from reel 1.
The highest-paying symbol falls to the Barmy Bishop, followed by the Sly Sister, Crooked Commoner, Scroll, Horn, Grapes, Apple, Pomegranate, and Fig. When a win is confirmed, a fixed payout between 0.2x and 50x your bet is awarded.
The game is free from Wild symbols, but it does reveal Goat Scatters & Dream Drop Icons throughout base game spins. Scatters are responsible for triggering a Free Spins mode, while Dream Drop icons award the Dream Drop Goat feature.
SuperSpinners
The game’s main reel set reveals 4 rows of SuperSpinners, in a fixed formation of 3-4-3-4. Each new spin can activate 1 or more SuperSpinners to reveal a random Multiplier.
If an active win line runs through a SuperSpinner, from the left side of the rightmost symbol, the total win will be multiplied by the displayed SuperSpinner Multiplier. Furthermore, multiple active SuperSpinners that apply to the same win line will multiply the win in succession.
Holy Deeds
As a session progresses, special achievements can be noted on the Scroll Icon during gameplay. Reaching certain goals, such as big wins or landing so many Scatters, can unlock Holy Deeds.
The rewards can be selected to add or replace visual components in the game, as shown in the Holy Deeds Menu. These changes may have little to no impact on the game’s underlying mechanics and pay functions.
Holy Hand Grenade
During gameplay, when a Holy Hand Grenade symbol hits, it will explode at the end of all win evaluations, transforming multiple paytable symbols into the same high or low-paying instance. All affected positions will be re-evaluated for potential winning payouts.
Dream Drop Goat Feature
During a random base game spin, landing 3 or more Dream Drop Icons will instantly trigger the Dream Drop Goat Feature. In the Dream Drop Bonus, up to 6 Jackpot Prizes are available to win: Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Daily, Major, & Mega.
The Daily Jackpot is guaranteed to be awarded 3 times a day, within 8-hour intervals. The specific timeframes for this Jackpot fall between 22:00 and 06:00, 06:00 and 14:00, & 14:00 and 22:00.
In this feature, several Grenade Icons can be thrown. When they explode, they will partially reveal Goats. When an entire Goat Cage is revealed, its corresponding Jackpot Prize is awarded and the feature ends.
Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop Free Spins
Triggering the Free Spins mode requires 3, 4, or 5 Scatters to land within the base game, awarding 7, 9, and 11 Free Spins, respectively. Once active, the main reel set reveals 6 reels, 5 rows, & 52 fixed pay lines.
In this mode, the Holy Hand Grenade symbol awards 1-5 additional spins and triggers the Holy Hand Grenade Feature. This symbol will mark its current position with a frame for the remainder of Free Spins.
If another Holy Hand Grenade symbol hits in a marked position, it will trigger an additional Holy Hand Grenade Feature from its current position. The colour of the Holy Hand Grenade symbol or frame will affect the subsequent grid evaluation as follows:
- Green: Ensures the explosion does not reveal a low-paying symbol
- Purple: Increases values on active SuperSpinners
- Blue: Allows win lines to evaluate both ways
If a Holy Hand Grenade symbol falls within a frame, it will trigger the Holy Hand Grenade features with a larger explosion.
Bonus Buy
Players may purchase one of the following Bonus Buy options:
- Adjustable Scatter Boost: Guarantees to reveal more Scatters with each spin for 1.5x your bet (93.01%)
- Blasphemous Spins: Triggers the standard Free Spins mode for 125x your bet (93.63%)
- Final Judgement Spins: Triggers the Free Spins mode with 1 Green, Purple, & Blue Frame active for 585x your bet (93.90%)
Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop has a maximum win potential of 30,000x your bet. If a single session exceeds this figure, the current mode ends, and the player returns to the base game with the qualifying amount.
Our Honest Verdict
Holy Hand Grenade was such a significant release that it won our slot of the year award for its innovation and creativity. At the time, it was a game unlike anything else, and still to this day, it remains a firm favourite with our audience.
Imagine our surprise when we caught wind that a sequel was on the horizon. Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop is a rewarding and anticipated release, but did it deliver? Absolutely, without a doubt.
Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop is holier than ever before, and certainly worthy of praise as a deity to the iGaming industry. We’ve often praised Print Studios as rising stars and up-and-coming challengers, but we can confidently say they’re a leading provider when it comes to innovation.
Not everything Print Studios indeed creates hits a chord with players. Many are quite content with the cut-and-dry instalments that satiate the appetite of low standards in terms of slots, but Print Studios are not.
Admittedly, Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop is a powerhouse slot with strong similarities to the original, and improved grenade symbols that deliver effective enhancements to an already promising formula. The Green, Purple, & Blue Frames are definite game changers, and the statistics are bigger and better than before, too.
The 30,000x max win potential will appeal to its own cult-like followers, as will the inclusion of Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop mechanic; however, this has a knock-on effect on the 92.96% RTP module, but don’t let that deter you from what’s at stake here. Alternatively, players will be pleased to know that a non-Jackpot version is on the cards sometime later this year.
All in all, we have no words to express how truly satisfied and impressed we are with the sequel to an existing, much-loved slot. Unlike so many sequels, Holy Hand Grenade 2 Dream Drop truly deserves all the praise and hype it’s going to get upon its release.
