Theme and Graphics

There are now quite a few games in the PopWins series, and we’re pleased to see that they all have very distinctive looks to them. Each game has a totally different setting but you can tell that they’re all part of the same series as they have a similar aesthetic to them.

In HippoPop, we’re taking deep into the jungle to encounter all sorts of exotic animals like panthers, zebras, flamingos and hippos. All of the characters are designed in bright, almost neon colours with shining eyes similar to the creatures in Pink Elephants. Overall, it’s a very eye-catching game that is sure to draw players in.

RTP and Variance

The RTP (return to player) of HippoPop PopWins is 96.1%. It’s also a highly volatile online slot, which offers up a top prize of 48,150x.

How to Win

All spins in HippoPop PopWins begin with 486 ways to win, and winning combinations are created by landing three or more matching symbols from left-to-right as well as right-to-left.

When a symbol is involved in a win, it will pop. This causes two symbols to appear where the single symbols were, ultimately increasing the number of winning ways in the slot. This process continues until no more wins are created or you reach the maximum number of ways to win.

The maximum number of winning ways available in HippoPop PopWins is 65,536.

Multipliers

In the base game, a multiplier is applied to your win once you’ve expanded all reels fully. This multiplier continues to increase if you keep adding to the reels:

  • A 2x multiplier for 6 symbols high
  • A 3x multiplier for 7 symbols high
  • A 4x multiplier for 8 symbols high

Free Spins and Bonuses

The free spins bonus is triggered when you get all of the reels to expand to eight symbols. During this bonus, the reels start at three symbols high but can expand up to 8 symbols tall.

Between each spin, the reels don’t totally reset to being 3 symbols tall like they do in the base game. Instead, they just reset to the height of the smallest reel.

The multiplier from the base game is carried over into the free spins round. It will continue to grow as you land wins.

Overall Review

HippoPop from AvatarUX isn’t all that different from the rest of the games in the PopWins series, but it doesn’t really need to invent the wheel since it has such a novel feature that is central to the gameplay. As is the case with most of the PopWins games, HippoPop delivers a fun gaming experience with vibrant graphics and decent winning potential.

In this game, you get a higher maximum number of ways to win in the base game than you do in the previous games, so it makes for more excitement. The top prize is middle-of-the-road, though, as there are some games in the series with higher and lower payouts – for example, PopRocks offers more than 72,000x.

The bonus features in HippoPop  are quite good, as you can’t really go wrong with increasing multipliers. However, it takes quite a bit to get them going as you need to expand all of the reels up to 6 symbols high in the base game before the multipliers take effect.

Overall, HippoPop is a good addition to the PopWins series. It’s got a great look to it with interesting features on offer, even if they can be a little tricky to trigger.
