The top symbol on the reels pays 200x your line bet for three on a payline, and it's the Wild - the dinosaur that also does the heavy lifting in the respin feature. Everything else sits well below that. When I loaded the free demo and pulled up the info screen, the pecking order was clear inside a minute: one big Wild payout, a cluster of dinosaurs in the middle, and a floor of stone-carved playing-card ranks that barely move the needle. This 3x3 Pragmatic Play release keeps the symbol set small, which is part of why it reads so fast.
Here's the number that trips people up. The dinosaurs top out at 60x. That 60x is the best you'll get from a single symbol combo (a T-Rex line), and it is not the game's maximum win. The ceiling for the whole slot is 1,240x the stake, reached only when the Respin Until You Win feature chains sticky Wilds into a stacked result.
So keep those two apart in your head. 60x is a paytable line. 1,240x is the session dream.
What the symbols actually pay
Dino Drop runs a two-tier symbol set on top of the Wild. The premiums are four dinosaurs - the green T-Rex, a Triceratops, a long-necked Apatosaurus, and a Pterodactyl. The low-pays are the four card ranks (A, K, Q, J), rendered as chunky stone carvings to fit the Stone Age look. There are no scatters and no bonus symbols to hunt for, which is unusual and worth saying out loud: what you see in the table below is the entire earning engine.
One honest caveat before the numbers. Pragmatic Play publishes the highlights of the paytable, not a full per-symbol breakdown for every combo length. The values below are indicative - drawn from the demo info screen and cross-checked against public trackers - and the exact mid-tier figures can shift with the operator's shipped math. Treat the dinosaur band as a range, not gospel.
| Symbol | Tier | Top payout (3 on a line) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wild (dinosaur) | Wild / top | 200x | Highest-paying symbol; substitutes and locks in the respin feature |
| T-Rex (green) | Premium dino | 60x | Top dinosaur; its full stack triggers the respins |
| Triceratops | Premium dino | ~10x-60x band | Indicative - exact value unpublished |
| Apatosaurus | Premium dino | ~10x-60x band | Indicative - exact value unpublished |
| Pterodactyl | Premium dino | ~10x-60x band | Indicative - exact value unpublished |
| A / K / Q / J | Low (stone card ranks) | 1x-5x | Filler pays; stone-carved to match the theme |
Read the table as a ladder. The Wild sits alone at the top on 200x. The four dinosaurs share a band that runs from roughly 10x up to the T-Rex's 60x. The card ranks scrape along at 1x to 5x. That's a payout spread of 200-to-1 between the best symbol and the worst, which tells you where the money hides.
Why the Wild carries the whole game
Three Wilds on a line pay 200x, which is more than three times what the best dinosaur returns. That gap is deliberate.
The Wild isn't just the top line-pay. It's the same symbol that a full T-Rex stack converts into during the feature, and once it locks it stays put while the other reels respin. So on the rare spin where the Wilds line up naturally, you get the 200x hit; during the feature, locked Wilds are the vehicle that stacks smaller wins toward the 1,240x max. In our testing the plain 200x line almost never showed up cold - it's a feature-adjacent payout far more than a base-game one. As far as I can tell from the demo, you'll meet the Wild through the respins long before you meet it as a clean three-in-a-row.
The dinosaurs, by contrast, do the day-to-day work. A T-Rex line at 60x was the biggest single symbol payout I logged across a couple hundred demo spins, and it felt genuinely rare. Most winning spins were card ranks paying back a fraction of the stake - the 1x-to-5x floor doing exactly what a low-pay is designed to do, which is soften the bleed between features without ever feeling like a result.
60x versus 1,240x - don't confuse them
This is the one thing to get right on this page. A quick search throws up "60x" all over the place, and it's easy to read that as the max win. It isn't.
Compared to the 60x top single-symbol line, the game's real ceiling of 1,240x is more than twenty times higher, and you only reach it through the Respin Until You Win mechanic rather than any one paytable entry. The math backs up how rare that is: the published max-win probability sits around 1 in 67 million spins. So the paytable's 60x is the honest number for what a single dinosaur combo returns, while 1,240x is a full-feature outcome most players will never see. Anyone quoting 60x as "the max" is reading the paytable and skipping the feature.

Where the paytable falls short
It's a thin table, and I'll be blunt about the gaps.
- Only six paying symbols on the whole grid - four dinos, one Wild, one merged block of card ranks. There isn't much to learn, which cuts both ways.
- Pragmatic Play hasn't published exact per-symbol values for the three mid dinosaurs, so the 10x-60x band is an estimate. If you need precise numbers, the demo info screen is the only reliable source, and even that shows highlights.
- The 60x top single-symbol pay is low compared to the premium symbols in many Pragmatic Play slots, where top tiles routinely clear 100x or more. The value here lives in the feature, not the table.
- No scatter, no multiplier symbol, no bonus tile. What you see is the entire set - there's no hidden path to a jackpot because there isn't one.
None of that makes the paytable bad. It makes it honest and shallow, which suits a compact 3x3 slot but won't satisfy anyone who likes a busy symbol economy.
How this connects to the rest of the game
The paytable is only half the picture. The values above tell you what each symbol returns; they don't tell you how often those symbols pay or how the stake behaves over a session.
For that, the RTP of 96.47% and the high-volatility rating matter more than any single line-pay - that's covered on the sibling pages. If you're still learning the controls, bet range, and how a spin resolves, start with the how to play guide. This page assumes you already know how a spin works and just want the symbol hierarchy.
Deposits and withdrawals
Dino Drop itself doesn't handle money - the casino hosting it does, so payment options depend entirely on the operator. Most licensed sites that carry Pragmatic Play titles take Visa and Mastercard, the usual e-wallets (Skrill, Neteller), and increasingly crypto such as BTC or USDT. Deposits are typically instant; withdrawal timing varies by operator and method, from a few minutes on wallets to a couple of business days on cards. Always check the cashier's limits and any wagering terms before you play for real money - I can't promise a given site offers your preferred method.
FAQ
What is the highest-paying symbol in Dino Drop?
The Wild is the top symbol, paying 200x your line bet for three on a payline. It also doubles as the locking symbol in the Respin Until You Win feature.
Is 60x the maximum win?
No. 60x is the top single-symbol payout, from a full T-Rex line. The game's maximum win is 1,240x the stake, reached only through the respin feature.
Are the dinosaur symbol values official?
Only partly. Pragmatic Play publishes highlights, not a full per-symbol table, so the 10x-60x dinosaur band is indicative. The T-Rex top of 60x and the Wild's 200x are the reliably confirmed figures.
Does Dino Drop have scatter or bonus symbols?
No. There are no scatters, multiplier symbols, or bonus tiles - just the Wild, four dinosaurs, and the A/K/Q/J card ranks. There's also no Bonus Buy.
