Freefall Symbols

A Freefall feature is something that is present in several online slots, and is one of the most popular base game features amongst players.

What is a Freefall Feature?

Also known as Cascading Reels and by a plethora of other names depending on the slot you are playing, Freefall Symbols being in play means you can, if you’re lucky, land a few winning combinations from one spin.

When you land a winning combination on a slot with a Freefall feature in place, the symbols that make up that win will disappear, and all symbols above them will go down one place, with the symbols directly above those which were part of the winning combination falling into their place.

If this new arrangement of symbols creates another winning combination, you will pick up that win too, and then the process will start again.

You can, in theory, land unlimited winning combinations this way from just one spin, making this feature somewhere between a free spins feature and a re-spin feature.

Slots with the Freefall Feature

Due to the popularity of this feature amongst players, many slot developers now utilise a variation of the Freefall feature in many of their games.

One of the most famous games to utilise this feature, which was also one of the first high profile slots that did, is the NetEnt classic Gonzo’s Quest, the first slot from the Swedish developer to go Platinum.

Fruit Case is another slot that uses this feature, as is the rather ridiculous, yet wonderful Invaders of the Planet Moolah.

Features are one of the deciding factors for most when it comes to choosing the right slot to play, and base game features are particularly useful.

By being consistently present, instead of triggering randomly like most base game features, Freefall Symbols features are amongst the most reliable around.
