Yggdrasil<\/a> YGS Masters Programme Partners AvatarUX<\/a> are back yet again with ANOTHER instalment in the exciting and immensely popular PopWins series with HippoPop Slot.<\/p>\n This time, Avatar UX have delved deep for inspiration, and they’ve found it from Oaxacan arts and Alebrijes visions.<\/p>\n It’s a pretty unique thing to draw inspiration from, and it really shows in the art style. Unique style aside, something that you’ll definitely recognise as a familiar sight is the gameplay.<\/p>\n At this point, we’ve had PopRocks, WildPops, CherryPop, BountyPop<\/a> and recently, TikiPop<\/a>. It looks like the PopWins series of games has served Avatar UX well, and it’s no wonder, given how compelling the gameplay is.<\/p>\n As of yet, none have been quite as great as BountyPop. It may not have been the best statistically, but the theme and popularity of it seems thus far, unrivalled.<\/p>\n HippoPop has taken the top spot in recency, but is it the best overall?<\/p>\n In this HippoPop Slot review, we’ll be breaking down the similarities and differences between HippoPop and the rest of its sister slots, as well as core gameplay features and statistics!<\/p>\n African Chimeras have come to life in HippoPop, with an impressive art style to back them up.<\/p>\n The animals on the reels are African creatures, with glowing eyes and distinctive detail, and the backdrop is a wild life haven with plants, trees and flowers.<\/p>\n The idea behind HippoPop is a culmination if different ideas that come together to make a pretty interesting theme. African animals have been portrayed in slots in many different ways, through many different games, but not quite like this.<\/p>\n It seems like Avatar UX are getting more imaginative with the PopWins series as time goes on, but gameplay has never really differed too much.<\/p>\n The sound and music of the game is great, with a soundtrack that fits well with the African Vibe.<\/p>\n It’s hard to predict what direction Avatar UK might take PopWins in next, especially when we jumped from Pirates to a Tiki theme in the couple of games.<\/p>\n One thing is for sure though, they do know how to keep it interesting.<\/p>\n Betting options in HippoPop are pretty extensive. They’ll cover the needs of most players, with a low option of \u00a3\/\u20ac0.20 per spin, and a high option of \u00a3\/\u20ac40 per spin.<\/p>\n With plenty to choose from in between, there’s surely something for everyone in HippoPop.<\/p>\n With regards to symbols, the highest paying symbol in the game is the Hippo Symbol.<\/p>\n Avatar UX have implemented a feature in HippoPop where the highest paying symbol will pay more depending on the height of the reel, but only in Free Spins. More on that below.<\/p>\n An interesting way to treat the top symbol of the game, and it’s certainly one of the differences between this and other games.<\/p>\n The Hippo is regarded as a ‘super high’ paying symbol, with the Flamingo, Cheetah and Zebra as high paying symbols, and the Frog, Parrot and Fish as Medium paying symbols.<\/p>\n Low paying symbols are a little bit easier to distinguish. These are A, K, Q & J.<\/p>\n Things are quite familiar when you get into the HippoPop Base game, with gameplay mechanics that you’ll definitely be acquainted with if you’ve played any of the previous PopWins games.<\/p>\n 3 symbols are on each of the 5 reels, and the left-to-right and right-to-left pay way mechanic gives you 486 ways to win.<\/p>\n Each winning symbol will pop, where it will then be replaced by 2 symbols, increasing the reel height by one. The process is repeatable so long as there are subsequent winning combinations, and as a result, the reels can reach up to 6 symbols tall in the Base Game, and 8 symbols tall in Free Spins, which will give you 65,536 ways to win.<\/p>\n The diversity that comes with left-to-right and right-to-left pay ways makes for some entertaining gameplay that is capable of netting you some decent wins, and the inclusion of a Base Game Unlock Multiplier makes the action even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n The Base Game Multiplier will unlock when all reels are 6 symbols high. The multiplier will start at x2, and increase incrementally by 1 until there are no more wins.<\/p>\n As it so happens, getting the reels to 6 symbols high also transfers to Free Spins, and in a stroke of luck, your multiplier will carry over with you.<\/p>\nHippoPop Theme<\/h2>\n
