One of the most visually stunning slots we’ve seen so far is headed our way from Yggdrasil and AvatarUX in May. HippoPop, which will be released as part of Yggrasil’s award-winning PopWins series of slots, will feature paylines expandable from 243 all the way up to an unbelievable 65,536 ways to win.
On the 5×3 reels players will discover a colourful variety of symbols and a host of special bonus features and mechanics. Owing to the possibility of a massively expanded game area, it will be possible for players to bank up to 48,150x the basegame bet – not to mention even a maximum jackpot amount of an incredible $1,936,000 when playing at the highest possible bet.
In terms of special features, players will get to make the most of Multipliers, the famous PopWins mechanic, Cascading Symbols, and a Free Spins bonus feature.
Winning combinations means matching 3 or more of the same type of symbol on consecutive reels. Every time a winning combination is formed, the PopWins mechanic will automatically divide the symbols into two separate groupings. And as the winning reels continue to create space for more symbols, the game area continues to grow larger and larger still with every new combo formed.
Exciting too is that at the start of every new Cascade of symbols, the Multiplier value will increase by 1x. By the time the game area has been expanded to 8 symbols high, a Multiplier of 4x will be applied to all wins.
Be sure to keep a look out for all of the wonderful animal characters heading our way as part of the HippoPop experience this April.
