Fly Cats Dream Drop
By Relax Gaming
We’re willing to bet that Fly Cats Dream Drop is the only jackpot slot with a hip-hop cats theme! This release from Relax Gaming allows you to shoot for a progressive jackpot worth more than £1 million, or play for a more restrained non-progressive max win of up to 5,000x your stake. The gameplay is simple with re-spins with mystery symbols in the base game and a free spins round with sticky wild multipliers of up to 3x.
With a high variance and RTP of 94% for the progressive version and 96.17% for the non-progressive version, you’ll need a healthy bank balance behind you to see returns from this feline face-off.

Theme and Design
A Super-Fun Slot With Hip Hop Cats On NY Rooftops
When it comes to originality, you simply can’t fault Fly Cats Dream Drop. From the street party stage, complete with speakers, turntables and spray cans, to the cats themselves each with its own hip-hop image, it’s clear that the design team had a field day with this slot. The King of the Cats sports a jewel-encrusted crown, heavy gold chain, and a cigar - it’s unique!
RTP and Variance
Relax Gaming is famous for its high volatility slots and Fly Cats Dream Drop doesn’t buck the trend. This slot has high variance, meaning you could wait some time for your next win. This makes it a better choice for players with a healthy bankroll to fall back on. If you’re after a game with smaller, more regular wins, but still want a chance to shoot for that Dream Drops jackpot then Temple of Fury Dream Drop would be a better choice.
The RTP of Fly Cats Dream Drop depends on whether you’re playing for the progressive jackpot or not. If you are then you get a reduced RTP of 94% where 12% of every spin goes straight to the jackpot pool. If you’d rather play without the Dream Drops jackpot then your RTP is a much more respectable 96.17%.
Maximum Win
The Dream Drops jackpot feature is clearly the only big draw for players seeking those mega wins. The Mega Dream Drops jackpot seeds at €500,000 and won’t pay out until it hits at least a million. This is good news for jackpot chasers as the max non-progressive win in this game is just 5,000x your spin. This is one of the lowest in the whole Dream Drops series, so if you’re looking for bigger non-progressive wins, something like Space Miners Dream Drop or Dueling Jokers Dream Drop with their 50,000x non-progressive max wins is a much better choice.
Symbols and Paytable
Fly Cats Dream Drop has a simple grid of five reels and four rows. There are 40 paylines on which you can trigger wins by landing 3 or more of the same symbol on reels that are next to one another, starting at the left-most reel.
There are 11 symbols in total, including 8 pay symbols, a wild symbol, a mystery symbol, and a bonus symbol.
The pay symbols are divided into premium and low-paying symbols. The four low-paying symbols are the card suits, each paying from 0.2x the bet for 3 symbols, up to 1x the bet for 5 symbols. The premium symbols are the hoodrat cats, paying from 1x the bet for 3x the baseball cap cat, up to 15x the bet for 5x the King of the Cats.
The Wild, represented by the letter W will substitute for any pay symbol to complete a payline, and also has a a value of 2x, 5x or 15x for 3, 4 or 5 on a line.
Features and Gameplay
Along with the brilliant graphics, the features in this game are really what saves it. The Dream Drops jackpot is a big deal for any progressive jackpot fans, but the two other features are both excellent too. Let’s take a look at them in more detail.
Mystery Respins
From time to time a big green question mark will pop up on the reels in the base game. This triggers the Mystery Respins feature. In this feature, the mystery symbols become sticky and all other positions re-spin. You’ll only be able to land blanks or mystery symbols and re-spins repeat until no more mystery symbols land. Then, all mystery symbols on the reels transform into the SAME symbol to give yourself a good chance of completing paylines.
Free Spins
If you land at least three scatters in the base game, you’re in for a treat, as this unlocks the free spins round. 3, 4, or 5, scatters gets you 6, 8, or 10 free spins in that order.
Any wilds that landed on the triggering spin are carried over to the bonus round and lock in place until the round ends. Any new wilds that land are also sticky. Plus, each time a bonus scatter lands, you get an extra free spin - plus the multiplier on each of those sticky wilds increases by one (up to a total of 3).
Dream Drop
The Dream Drops feature is a big deal on any of the games on the network, but in this one, they’ve made use of the hip-hop theme with a clever bonus round to go with it. At any time a basketball might be tossed into a hoop, if it’s netted then the Dream Drop feature begins.
15 cans of paint appear for you to click one at a time. Every one that you click reveals a jackpot (rapid, midi, maxi, major, and mega). As soon as you click 3 of the same jackpots, that’s the one you win! Below are the seed values for all of them.
- Rapid (seeded at €1)
- Midi (seeded at €5)
- Maxi (seeded at €100)
- Major (seeded at €25,000)
- Mega (seeded at €500,000 with a minimum payout of €1,000,000)
Final Verdict
With a multi-million GBP Dream Drops jackpot to shoot for and high variance, there’s the potential for big wins in Fly Cats though as the same time, the non-progressive max win of 5,000x your bet is low for Relax Gaming, which knocks the score down a few points.
For us, the best parts of this game are the features and the theme. It’s clear that the art team really went to town, making a creative, colourful, and humorous slot. The mystery spins and free spins rounds provided added value too and along with that jackpot, made this an enjoyable game for the cat crazy.
Testing Notes
I played 250 spins on Fly Cats Dream Drop with real money at BacanaPlay. This is what happened.
- Stake Size: 0.2
- Start balance: £38.97
- End balance: £34.70
- Win Rate: 19.2% (48 winning spins in 200)
- Biggest Win: 45.9x
- Free Spins Round: 2
Not much happened in the first 100 spins of this test session. This can be a tight game – the volatility is high, the RTP low at 94%, and only the Mystery Re-Spins are there to spice up the base game. However, things started warming up in the second half, as 5 Mystery Re-Spins features dropped in quick succession, with a 12x win the best of the lot, shown here. You need plenty of ? symbols to drop and all convert into the same high value pay symbols to get lucky.
Then, right near the end the free spins round dropped twice. The best result was a 45.9x win when 5 sticky wilds were on the grid, 3 with 3x multipliers. It’s a neat and simple feature and certainly has potential if you can keep extending the round by landing more bonus symbols.
And finally ... the Dream Drop game didn't trigger once in 250 spins!
