WildPops as a title for a slot is hardly thrilling. If I didn’t know what I know about the game, I would just scroll on by without giving it a second glance. If like me you love to mix up your gaming with a bit of bingo and slots, the chances are you’re going to enjoy what this latest, innovative title has to offer.
The last ‘never-before seen’ mechanic from Yggdrasil came in the form of Lucky Neko Gigablox; the oriental inspired game with colossal symbols. Its release was only a few weeks ago and I’m yet to land any kind of big win or bonus feature. So, when discovering there was a new ‘ground-breaking’ game on the market, I knew I had to try it!
A partnership between Yggdrasil and YG Masters studio AvatarUX saw the birthchild of WildPops, a release with a pay both ways mechanic, but this in itself is not spectacular as many other software developers have done this before. A clue to what the game hides lies within its name!
Winning symbols effectively pop before your very eyes before being replaced by two new symbols, a process that can continue to expand on every winning cascade in a single spin. And we all know what cascading reel engines can lead to – colossal wins! But where can you play? At Jumpman Gaming powered brands (such as Zeus Bingo), as well as many others!
Spin, Win, Pop – Is it a Flop?
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Partner Strategy and Sourcing at Yggdrasil, said: “WildPops is a fun-filled new addition to the Yggdrasil slot offering and will appeal to a wide demographic of players. Our YG Masters studios continue to push the boundaries of innovation and AvatarUX is no different with its fascinating graphics and thrilling PopWins mechanic which has proven very popular with players.”
Where was I? Multipliers, just like in Megaways titles, will be added as you continue to hit wins, only with this game, they come with every seventh pop, which can turn into huge wins. According to the developer; “if the Pops don’t stop and the reel grid continues to grow.” But that’s not all; if three wins occur in a row, two random wilds are triggered and will continue to appear on every third consecutive win, and this in turn leads to even more ‘pops!’
Marcus Honney, Managing Director at AvatarUX, said: “Our latest PopWins game contains all the thrilling excitement of our feature mechanic with a fun theme and massive win potential. Any spin can get the Popping started and give players thrilling experiences. Our partnership with Yggdrasil continues to go from strength to strength and we look forward to it growing for many years.”
There is one last feature; the bonus round. Should you happen to see the reels expand to seven columns high, three lives are awarded and the chance to land a win of a lifetime! Land a non-win spin, a life will be taken, but the multiplier itself will not be lost. Sounds very complicated indeed, but it’s super fun when you get the hang of it!
