HipHopPop PopWins Slot Review

November 15, 2022 Football Match

Hip-hop music has a way of bringing genre lovers to their feet. This is what the developers of this slot have used to get more players to the screen. HipHopPop is a slot by AvatarUX with various features like free spins with wilds or synced reels. But what does it entail? More to follow below.

The setting of this slot is on the street in a neon-lit city with lots of activities like fast cars, graffiti, and hands waving in the air any-how. The environment needs players to blend in to enjoy the whole feeling. The chilled soundtrack enables players to play when relaxed. However, the soundtrack needs work as it doesn’t bring the hip-hop theme we expect.

The grid of this slot has five reels and three rows with 486 paylines. The winning symbols pay from either side of the reel. However, hitting combo forms, if the symbols are popped off the reels by the Popwins mechanic, then two new symbols replace them. This makes the height of the reel and wins ways to increase. During the base game, the grid can be six rows high, while free spins can be nine rows high.

This slot is highly volatile but has different RTP models of between 96.05% and 94%. A player can access the HipHopPop on any device and then bet with 20 p/c to 40 euros per spin. Furthermore, this slot has pay symbols. The low pay symbols are the 14 regular tiles of 9-A royals and are worth 1.2x-1.6x the bet for five of a kind. The high symbols are the nitrous oxide canisters, stereos, four-character symbols, and sneakers worth 15x the stake for a five-of-a-kind. Note that the five-of-a-kind win pays only one way.

The skull wild can substitute any paying symbol in this slot. But they are only active during the free spins round and not in the base game.

Features

The base game of this slot only has the PopWins mechanic actively involved. If five reels expand to cover six positions high, it triggers free spins bonus round. During the free spins round, the six high reels can grow to 9 positions high. But if the grid resets its size during the free spins, the reel height can drop to the lowest height achieved.

Gamble Wheel

This feature which happens before the free spins round, enables players to gamble to win more free spins and to unlock the bonus pick or collect. 6-8 free spins earn a random guaranteed wild or synced reel. However, if a player loses the gamble wheel, it takes them back to the base game.

Winning the gamble equals:

• The first gamble-earns free spins and random guaranteed wilds or random synced reels or both.
• The second gamble-allows players to collect ten free spins with synced reels on each spin or guaranteed wilds per spin.
• The wheel- can land on the golden field, earning 12 or more free spins on the 1^st gamble and 13 free spins on the 2^nd

For a player to land identical symbols, the synced reels have to be active while two adjacent reels synchronize. Every win adds the multipliers by +1, but when all reels are nine positions high, the multiplier by +4 and an additional +4 for every win in the pop round. If a player unlocks all the reels, it gives them +2 extra free spins.

Buy Bonus

The bonus buy feature enables players to buy an extra round worth:

• 75x the bet, which offers an entry to free spins.
• 300x the stake for ten free spins with synced reels or ten free spins with guaranteed wilds.
• 100x the bet for 12 free spins with synched reels and guaranteed wilds.

Verdict

HipHopPop making it to the rap competition means it can reach the final stages, though it needs to be clarified whether it can win. The slot doesn’t share a theme with the Nolimit city’s hip-hop extravaganza, the East Coast Vs. West Coast. The visuals of the NLC slots are not good, and the animated bits are slinky. However, the soundtrack and visuals of the slot are a plus as it brings life to the slot. But it requires self-conscious players who are ready to flow with the tunes.

All these are the same occurrence with the HipHopPop slot, which has some harder edges. So, for a player to get value from this play, they have to make good use of the free spin bonus round, where they can use the gamble wheel or the buy bonus option. HipHopPop doesn’t have super bonus symbols that can trigger free spins round or land extra scatter symbols during the base game round.

But the maximum win of 50,000x the bet can lure you into trying your luck on the grid. It’s amongst the PopWins slots with a huge max win making it worth a player’s time. The hip-hop tunes are entertaining, while the great features pay well. If lucky on the grid, a player can make a good fortune out of this game, making them smile all the way to the bank.
