PopWins

Each time a winning combination forms on the reels, they will be removed and replaced by 2 new symbols, increasing the reel height and the number of active ways to win.

This continues as long as there are wins on the reels, up to a maximum of 6 symbols high in the base game and 8 symbols high in Free Spins.

Ante Bet

Before playing, you will be given the option to activate the Ante Bet Feature, increasing your current bet by 25%. When active, the Ante Bet feature doubles your chance of triggering the Free Spins round.

JinglePop Rewards Reel

JinglePop Free Spins

  • 3 Scatters – 2,048 Starting ways.
  • 4 Scatters – 6,250 Starting ways.
  • 5 Scatters – 15,552 Starting ways.

Before the Free Spins round begins, you will enter a Rewards Reel, where one spin will randomly draw various rewards that determine your setup for the Free Spins round.

  • Free Spins – +1, +2, or +3.
  • Multiplier – x1, x2, or x3.
  • Multiplier Growth – +x1 or +x2.
  • Mega Symbols – Random 2×2-sized symbols.

JinglePop: Our Verdict

There are probably enough PopWins slots to have one not just for every season, but every month too. December’s offering is a rather festive one, and if you’re looking for an amalgamation of a tried and true mechanic plus some festive cheer, then JinglePop is a fine choice.

JinglePop doesn’t stray too far from the blueprints of its predecessors, but it does enough to make it stand out. It has bells and whistles to make it feel fairly different from other PopWins slots, but familiar all the same. Features like Giga symbols make JinglePop quite interesting on its own,  and other staple features work well with it to bring about the possibility of some momentum.

It’s not a slot to shout from the rooftops about, but we’re quite satisfied with our experience when testing it. Providers tend to go half-cocked into Christmas slots, knowing all too well that the longevity of them is shorter than other titles. It doesn’t feel as if AvatarUX skimped out on this one, and the win potential of 20,000x furthers its appeal.

Overall, JinglePop may not be the best PopWins slot, and it may not even be the best Christmas slot, but if you pulled it from beyond the doors of a slot advent calendar then you wouldn’t be disappointed.
