Provider’s latest slot features a thrilling Mystery Drop feature, Free Spins and its innovative Super Stake feature
Stakelogic, the developer of highly entertaining slot games that top operator game lobbies, is taking big win anticipation to the next level with Mystery Drop, the latest blockbuster title to leave its production line.
Mystery Drop features a never-seen-before bonus round where players are given the chance to drop a ball and gamble where it is going to land for the chance to win up to 16 Free Spins. It also boasts Expanding Reels, Multipliers and the option to Buy the Bonus.
The slot takes the 5×3 reel format with 243 ways to win with every spin. This release sits at the high end of the volatility scale and delivers a maximum win multiplier of 50,000x the player’s original bet.
The Free Spins bonus is triggered when all the reels expand to 6 during the base game and awards 5 Free Spins. Players are then given the option to Gamble their Free Spins with the Mystery Drop feature for the chance to win up to 16 Free Spins.
If players choose to Gamble their Free Spins a pinball game board appears, and players must select one of three positions from which to drop a ball. The ball then bounces around until it lands in one of seven sections representing the Free Games that will be awarded.
The maximum number of Free Spins available is 16, but players also run the risk of losing their Free Games if the ball lands in a section with an “X”.
Before the Free Spins bonus plays out, the reel matrix expands from 5×3 to 5×6. A Multiplier is applied to all wins – it starts at x2 and increases by +1 for every win that lands and by +4 if the reels expand to their max 5×9 layout.
While Free Spins are active, Mystery Symbols can land at random and will transform into paying combination symbols for yet more big win potential.
Mystery Drop is also hooked up to Stakelogic’s innovative Super Stake feature. This allows players to place a side bet to increase the chance of the bonus game triggering. In this case, on a random losing spin the Free Spins bonus is triggered.
If that is a bit too much mystery for one game, worry not. Mystery Drop also has the option for players to enjoy some certainty via the Buy the Bonus option. For x75 their bet, or x150 with Super Stake active, they can go straight to the Free Spins bonus and enjoy five Free Games.
Players can also Gamble their winnings; they can either gamble on the card colour or the card suit and if they guess correctly their win will be multiplied by x2 or x4 respectively.
Olga Bajela, CCO of Stakelogic, said: “On the face of it, Mystery Drop looks like a fairly simple game but under the hood it is packed with smart math and complex mechanics designed to deliver a highly volatile, highly thrilling player experience.
“The Mystery Drop feature is particularly exciting, building another level of anticipation into the game as players wait to see if their Free Spins gamble has paid off. Then there is our innovative Super Stake feature that takes the big win potential to the next level.
“As the saying goes, looks can be deceiving and with Mystery Drop we have a game that looks sensational while also providing unique gameplay.”

Goa Introduces an Entirely Online Lottery Platform
In a move towards modernising India’s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.
Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. “Our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,” Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.
Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. “With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,” Gad remarked. “The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
This development follows new rules governing online lotteries, introduced by the Goa directorate in February 2023. Currently, 13 states in India, including Goa, allow lottery games, though others have banned them due to concerns over gambling addiction and operational irregularities.
