Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and provider of distinctive content, has introduced Bill & Coin 2 Dream Drop, the newest installment in the Bill & Coin series, incorporating Dream Drop jackpot thrill into the crew’s desert escapade.

Building on the success of Bill & Coin 2 Mummy Mischief from last year, the new installment returns to the Egyptian desert with an added Dream Drop element included.

Bill & Coin 2 became our ‘Game of the Year’ for 2025 and swiftly connected with players, enhancing the value of one of the most iconic franchises in the industry. Jackpot players have been requesting a Dream Drop edition of our immensely popular game, and we have responded by elevating the excitement even more.

As its name suggests, Bill & Coin 2 Dream Drop delivers the legendary jackpot excitement via a randomly activated Jackpot Spin that occurs prior to the standard spin, where obtaining six DD symbols can activate the Dream Drop Bonus and offer players a chance at one of six jackpots: Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Daily, Major, or Mega.

Players can experience a blend of traditional Bill & Coin gameplay elements along with new features in the base game and a maximum payout of up to 15,000 times the bet. Sticky Coins also shift down one row with each spin, in addition to the returning Multiplier Ladder and the Book Bonus, where expanding symbols can cover the reels to provide traditional book-style payouts.

Additionally, landing three Bonus symbols activates the Bonus Pick, permitting players to select one out of three Bonus Games, while a Super Bonus symbol can initiate the Super Bonus experience, merging Sticky Coins, Multiplier Ladder, and Book Bonus into a single epic mode, in authentic Bill & Coin fashion.

Tony O’Mahony, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming, said: “Bill & Coin 2 was an instant hit and became one of our most successful releases in history. Incorporating a Dream Drop version as part of our growing portfolio will only enhance the excitement and player experience further, with the additional chance to land the €2 million MEGA Jackpot to propel the game to even greater heights.”
