Pop Online Slot

Pop is an online slot with 256 ways to win developed by Big Time Gaming. Features include free spins, cascading reels, multiplier increases, and wild multipliers. Playing Pop slot machine takes you to an old fashioned funfair. Big Time Gaming cleverly incorporated a Donuts stall behind the funfair stalls and Ferris wheel, which associates well with their Donuts slot. This carnival-themed online slot has bright and vibrant graphics to make you feel nostalgic as you spin the reels. A dazzling sunset shimmers over the sea as a Ferris wheel spins in the background of the game. There are even food stalls in the background and, if you look closely, you'll see the logo of Big Time Gaming's other hit slot Donuts. There are low-value symbols such as A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals on the reels. Combining four of these will get you a win. Four coloured balloons represent the symbols with higher values. The purple balloon pays 0.4 or 2 x your total stake when three or four of these symbols are combined. Wild symbols will only land on reels 2, 3 and 4. The rainbow-coloured balloon is the wild symbol. Except for scatter symbols, it substitutes for all symbols. Wilds can reveal multipliers up to 4x too in the base game.

How to Play

The Pop slot machine has four reels and four rows, as well as 256 ways to win. A winning combination forms from the leftmost reel (reel1) when three or four consecutive symbols are matched from left to right. Players can place bets as little as 0.10 per spin up to $10 a spin. With Autoplay, you can select from five to one hundred automatic spins. Limits for losses and wins are also in place. Big Time Gaming's Pop uses the standard interface, so it's easy to use. Pop's RTP is 96.54%, which is above the average of 96%. Free spins have a high variance. There is a maximum win of 14,407x stake in base games and 66,960x stake in free spins. Pop Slot can be played on a mobile or tablet device just as easily as on a laptop or PC because it is played on a 4x4 grid. Pop slot's simple visuals and reel layout make it an ideal choice for smartphones.

Pop Slot Features

There are two bonus features in the Pop slot. Additions include Reactions for successive wins as well as scatter, balloon, and wild symbols. After that, there are free spins, in which you can get unlimited free spins and multipliers for each grid position.

Reactions feature

Reactions are triggered when you land a winning combination. The scatter, balloon and wild symbols will replace winning symbols (except the scatter). You can then get higher value symbols on the reels, giving you consecutive wins or triggering a bonus round.

Free Spins feature

Big Time Gaming's gold coins act as scatter symbols. To activate the Free Spins bonus feature, you must land three or more BTG coin scatters. You will receive 12 free spins. Starting with the feature, any positions that contain scatters that trigger the feature will be multiplied by 2x, 3x, or 4x. The multiplier for all other positions is 1x. The 16 grid positions each have a multiplier that can increase during the feature. A win with balloon symbols or wilds will increase the multiplier of 1 or more winning positions. Each time, the multiplier will increase by 1, 2 or 3. With every retrigger, the multiplier increase amount increases by 1. Multipliers are only applied to balloons and wild symbols. In contrast to other Big Time Gaming slots, multipliers do not increase with reactions, only before a free spin. Every free spin can result in 66,960 x stake wins. Furthermore, three or more scatters will award you with three additional free spins. On one of those positions, the multiplier will also increase. The number of extra free spins you can win is unlimited, so you can win as many as you want.

The Verdict

The bright carnival theme and floating balloon bonuses make Pop an enjoyable online slot from Big Time Gaming. The game might seem boring or repetitive as a high variance slot, but the base game features keep it interesting, so there is always something to do. However, it would be a good idea you still kept an eye on your balance due to the overall high volatility. Getting the free spins bonus is challenging, but there are some great rewards to be had once you do. It's not something we've seen before in a slot, but a multiplier attached to every position just sweetens the deal. Even though four-reel slot machines may not seem like much wiggle room in such a small game, Pop is quite different from Chocolates and Donuts. We weren't expecting to see split symbols at first, but once we got into the game, we didn't miss them at all. It's certainly a game worth spinning a few times. You will be entertained while spinning the reels with Pop's great gameplay and amusing bonus features.
