Drops and Wins (written Drops & Wins by its owner) is a prize promotion from the game studio Pragmatic Play, run together with casinos that carry its games. Rather than being a feature inside one slot, it sits on top of eligible games for a set period, and the campaign's terms decide which games count, the minimum stake and how prizes are paid.
It's a Pragmatic Play promotion, not a slot feature or a progressive jackpot.
Each campaign's terms set the eligible games, minimum stake, dates and prize format.
Prizes paid as bonus funds can't carry wagering above 10x under UK rules from 19 January 2026.
Joining a promotion doesn't change a game's RTP; you still pay the house edge on every spin.

Drops and Wins in plain English
Pragmatic Play, the Gibraltar studio behind Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza and Big Bass Bonanza, lists Drops & Wins among its products alongside slots, live casino, jackpots, crash and arcade games. Its news pages describe rolling out Drops & Wins promotions with operator partners, so the promotion appears inside casino apps rather than on Pragmatic's own site.
The name points to two ideas: prizes that drop to players during play, and wins earned by competing. Treat that as a reading of the name rather than a rulebook. Pragmatic Play's own website (opens in a new tab) doesn't spell out a fixed format, and each campaign's terms are what decide how prizes are given.
Two things make it different from a progressive jackpot. A promotion has a start and end date and a stated prize pool, and it's funded as a marketing promotion rather than by a growing slice of every stake. A progressive pot keeps building until it's won.
Comparing Drops and Wins with jackpots and tournaments
How Drops and Wins differs from similar app features
In an app, all four can look similar: a banner, a leaderboard or a prize counter. The quickest way to tell them apart is to open the terms and see who runs the promotion and how prizes are funded.
Terms to read before you join Drops and Wins
Because the format can change from one campaign to the next, the terms are the only reliable guide. Look for these points:
Eligible games. Only the listed Pragmatic Play titles take part, and the list can change between campaigns.
Minimum stake. Some promotions only count spins at or above a stated stake. Never raise your stake beyond your plan just to qualify.
Dates and times. Note the start and finish, including the time zone used.
Opt-in. If the promotion needs you to opt in, the terms will say so.
Prize type. Check whether prizes are paid as cash or bonus funds, and whether any wagering applies.
Eligibility. Look for any country, account or verification conditions.
A promotion on top of a slot is still a gambling incentive, so the Gambling Commission's incentive rules apply to it as they would to any casino offer:
Wagering cap. From 19 January 2026, any bonus funds can't require play-through of more than 10 times, as set out in the 10x wagering cap.
One product type. An incentive must not mix gambling products, for example casino with betting or bingo, under the mixed-product bonus ban.
Clear terms. Incentive terms must be clear, transparent, fair and easy to find.
No bonus for speed. The rewritten code says an operator must not change or increase an incentive because you reach the qualifying spend in a shorter time than the full offer period, as the Commission's consultation on SR Code 5.1.1 (opens in a new tab) explains.
There's no 2026 ban on promotions that depend on how long or how often you play, so time-limited campaigns are still allowed. The slot rules carry on as normal while a promotion runs: stakes are capped at £5 a spin from age 25 or £2 for 18 to 24-year-olds, there's no autoplay, and each spin takes at least 2.5 seconds.
What a Drops and Wins promotion costs you
A prize promotion doesn't change a game's RTP. The house edge still applies to every spin you play to take part, and that's the cost to keep in view.

Most players won't win a promotional prize, so any prize is a bonus on top of play you'd have chosen anyway, not a way to make money. If a leaderboard or countdown is pushing you to play longer, that's a good moment to stop. Setting a limit first, as our guide to deposit limits in a casino app shows, keeps a promotion from setting your budget for you.

Campaigns appear in the promotions area or as a badge on eligible games, depending on the app. Our partners' published app details don't name Drops and Wins, so check the app's promotions page and game lobby.

Frequently asked questions
What does Drops and Wins mean at a casino?
It's the name of a prize promotion from Pragmatic Play that runs on eligible Pragmatic games at casinos taking part. The promotion has its own terms, which set the games, minimum stake, dates and how prizes are paid. It isn't a feature built into one slot, and it isn't a progressive jackpot. Our quick answer to what are Drops and Wins? sums it up.
Is Drops and Wins the same as a jackpot?
No. A progressive jackpot is funded by a share of each stake and grows until one player wins it, with rules set out in the game under RTS 9. Drops and Wins is a promotion for a set period, with its own terms and prizes. Both can appear on the same game, so check the game's help screen and the promotion terms separately to see what applies.
Do Drops and Wins prizes have wagering?
It depends on the campaign. Some promotional prizes are paid as cash, while others may be paid as bonus funds. Where bonus funds are used, UK rules from 19 January 2026 cap wagering at 10 times the bonus. The promotion's terms should say clearly which applies. Our guide to how wagering works in casino apps explains how to work out what a requirement costs.
Does Drops and Wins change a slot's RTP?
No. The game's published RTP and house edge stay the same during a promotion, and prizes are separate from the game's own payouts. That means you still lose money on average while you play to take part. Treat any prize as a bonus on top of play you'd have chosen anyway. Our house edge entry shows how to turn an RTP into an expected cost in pounds.
Which casino apps run Drops and Wins?
Campaigns depend on which casinos carry Pragmatic Play games and choose to take part, and that can change from month to month. Our partners' published app details don't mention Drops and Wins by name, so check the promotions page and game lobby in the app itself. Our ranking of apps with Drops and Wins compares options where the promotion is offered.
