We have been paying more attention to Relax Gaming in recent times. You have likely read us mentioning that this provider with offices in multiple European countries debuted in New Jersey in late 2023 via a BetMGM deal. Well, at the tail end of the year, it also struck a partnership agreement with Playbook Engineering, a betting platform, which will help Relax expand its market presence by making it easier for this renowned game supplier to introduce its titles to novel operators across regulated Old Continent markets. Relax also looked to end 2023 with a bang on the gaming front with Galactic Racers Dream Drop.

Shelley Hannah, the company’s chief product officer, proclaimed that she believes this product has all the elements needed to be a sure-fire hit for Relax. It features fast-paced action paired with beautiful graphics for a gambling ride that can culminate with a jackpot win. Hannah said. Galactic Racers Dream Drop came out on the 12th of December 2023, and interestingly enough, after two weeks out, it had only managed to crack the top one hundred rankings in Sweden. And nowhere else we checked. That staggered us, as this appeared to be a high-end game from an established entity, so here we seek to examine why this was the case.

Theme & Design

With a name like Galactic Racers, you would assume that this game has a futuristic theme that involves racing. That is easily deducible and correct. What stands out about this online slot is its cast of characters. And we would call them its defining point. Given they are a mixture of weird aliens and robots. It would be easy to compare them to creatures from games like Play’n GO’s Reactoonz, Energoonz, Canine Carnage, or Captain Xenos Earth Adventure. Also, some parallels can be drawn between this spinner and Yggdrasil’s Giganimals Gigablox. Those were the first games that came to mind when we saw this one, character-wise, aside from Cash Truck by Quickspin, whose overall vibe Galactic Racers Dream Drop matches.

As far as the presentation goes here, we did not expect the music we got. It is a laid-back tune that is low-key and blends with the background. It does little to get you in a reel-spinning mood and relaxes you more than anything. The reels here spin inside the back of a panel of a floating vessel on a futuristic highway in a setting similar to Judge Dredd’s megacities. While the painterly graphics here look good and are nice enough, they don’t really generate lots of excitement. Overall, we found Galactic Racers to be just super mellow. When we played it, we rarely won, in all honesty, so we did not see many win animations. Hence, our session looked very monotonous in auto-play mode, which only allows you to pick the number of automated spins.

We should note that things get a whole lot more colorful in the free spins bonus as night falls and neon lights come on in the cityscape.

You can buy your way into its bonus round through a car button left of the reel grid, and you can see your bet/win/balance info at the bottom. The spin functions here get organized in a stack, beginning with the three-bar settings icon at the bottom, the spin ones in the middle, and the bet adjuster at the top.

Specs & Gameplay

Galactic Racers Dream Drop implements a 5×4 layout with a thousand and twenty-four paylines. The default RTP of this title is 96.08%, with the Japanese version boasting a lesser return-to-player percentage of 94%. The hit frequency of this slot is 19.82%, the variance is high, the max win stands at x10,000, and the bet sizes of Galactic Racers Dream Drop begin at $0.10, ending at $100.

Prizes here get created when at least three matching symbols pop in on adjacent reels on the same spin starting from the leftmost reel. The low-pay token batch of Galactic Racers Dream Drop consists of different-colored plates with futuristic card suit royals on them. These pay x1 for five-of-a-kind combos. The premiums of this spinner are this game’s two robots and five monster-like racers. Hitting five identical tokens from this group produces prizes of x2 to x10.

The wild in Galactic Racers Dream Drop is the letter w overlaid on two tubes with green liquid in them that may be pistons of some sort.

Bonus Features

In this game, multiplier frames can show up at random, multiplying wins that pass through them. These frames can appear at one to five positions arbitrarily. And when a reward combo passes through multiple frames. Then, their values are added.

To gain entry in this slot’s free spin round, you need to land at least three scatters, which are trophy bonus symbols. Three materializing on the grid leads to eight on-the-house reel rotations. Four get you twelve, and five award you fifteen complimentary spins. In this mode, the multiplier frames remain sticky until the end of the feature, unlike in the base game, where they disappear after every spin. Also, we should add that in this round, you get one extra free spin for every scatter/bonus token you hit with this feature active. Buying your way into this round should run you eighty times your stake at most sites. It guarantees three scatters.

Of course, since this title boasts the Dream Drop label, that means here, a jackpot spin may get activated at random before any standard game round, and it can lead to a Mega Jackpot prize that has a top value of €3 million. To enter the Dream Drop Bonus, you need to land at least one Dream Drop symbol in a jackpot spin.
