Wild Chapo Dream Drop ignites Relax Gaming’s latest jackpot explosion
Relax Gaming, the igaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, has lit the fuse on its most recent game to feature its progressive jackpots, Wild Chapo Dream Drop.
In a slot that is as volatile as the titular character’s stash of explosives, Expanding TNT Wilds, Sticky Wild Re-Spins and Bonus Bomb symbols bring blazing win potential to the base game.
Three bonus symbols earn players a drink inside Chapo’s bar where bombs are stored until the very last free spin. When triggered, they ignite the reels, converting into wilds with a multiplier corresponding to the number of bombs on each tile.
When several wilds with multipliers land on the same line they combine, creating an explosive experience that players can revel in.
When triggered, the Jackpot Spin is played as an additional spin before the normal spin, with only wooden blockers and Dream Drop symbols on the reels. The bonus is triggered when landing five Dream Drop symbols in the randomly triggered Jackpot Spin.
There are five jackpots that can be won: Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major and Mega. In the Dream Drop Bonus, players get one spin of the wheel. When the wheel stops it will mark which jackpot has been won.
Along with a win potential of up to 10,000x the player’s bet and an RTP of 94%, Wild Chapo’s fun bandito theme features a classic cartoon art style and a Mariachi-inspired soundtrack, immersing the player in the explosive-obsessed wild man’s world of wins.
The game follows in the footsteps of recent hit releases Temple Tumble Dream Drop, Snake Arena Dream Drop and Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop in boosting Relax’s ever-growing catalogue of quality proprietary progressive jackpots games.
Simon Hammon, Relax Gaming CEO, said: “Wild Chapo Dream Drop’s array of dynamite features are set to explode onto our partners’ platforms, which we’re certain their players will love, especially considering that this classic slot has been upgraded with our legendary new Dream Drop Jackpot, boosting bankrolls every single day!
“The striking cartoon-style visuals and complementary audio fit the wild gameplay to a tee and are another example of the attention to detail that runs through everything our development teams create.”
Established as one of the industry’s leading B2B suppliers, Relax Gaming was recently named the Best Mobile Gaming Software Provider at the prestigious EGR B2B Awards and the Best Game Provider at the AskGamblers Awards. On top of that, the company has consistently enjoyed myriad other industry awards and nominations this year.
In total, Relax Gaming provides more than 4,000 online casino games, from its high-performing proprietary slots to a significant, varied library of content from hand-picked third-party studios via its partnership programmes.

Jelly, True Rippers BGMI star, speaks out against cyberbullying: calls for a safer, more respectful ecosystem

Jelly, one of India’s leading Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) athletes, representing Infinix True Rippers, has issued an appeal to the esports community to stand against cyberbullying and threats in the esports ecosystem.
Following the BMPS 2025 Semifinals 2, where Jelly was performing with the sole goal of helping his team qualify for the grand finals, the player faced a wave of online hate, including abusive messages and death threats, all for eliminating a rival and his former team.
In a heartfelt statement, Jelly explained: “I am here to qualify just like every other team. If there is a fight against GodLike, I cannot just put my guns down and I also don’t know who is in front of me. Every team on this stage is here to play for victory. I wanted both teams to qualify, theirs and mine, but because of mistakes, neither of us made it. It is not because of one fight alone that things went wrong.”
Jelly also condemned the personal attacks he has faced and appealed for a safer esports ecosystem:
“No player deserves hate or threats for doing their job and competing. We put in countless hours to train, just like any athlete in any sport. We need to stand for fair, safe, and respectful esports, without fear of abuse.”
With esports continuing to grow as a mainstream sport in India, the need for stronger measures to protect players from cyberbullying and online harassment is more crucial than ever. Jelly emphasized that athletes, content creators, and fans deserve a positive, supportive environment to thrive.
The 24-year-old pro has pledged to use his platform to promote safe gaming practices and challenge toxic behavior within the gaming community.
Infinix True Rippers, the team Jelly represents, also extended their support to his statement, reiterating their commitment to building a culture of fairness, mental well-being, and respect in Indian esports.
