CherryPop

CherryPop combines a traditional style with some fresh features, opening up the name of the game as soon as you give the reels a spin or two. Worth noting that the company, AvatarUX is in partnership with Yggdrasil, one of the best slot developers you’ll find in any casino. It’s easy to see why, given how well this game plays out.

The way to wins are formed with the help of expanding reels, something we’ll explore in detail at the special features and betting layout. This is not the first slot in the series, which would suggest that the format is popular and for a reason.

Theme and Symbols

It’s not photorealistic graphics, but it gets pretty damn near to that. Cherries surprisingly don’t feature all that often on the reels. Other fruits, as well as the classic playing card ranks, do though, filling the symbol positions one spin after another. The sound effects are pretty chill, offering that pop sound, together with what feels like some sort of new-wave lounge music. Overall the theme of this AvatarUX software release is very relaxing, balancing the extremely heavy action on the reels.

Betting Options and Functions

Normally each spin offers you five reels with three symbols each. This changes as soon as you land a win.

Wins are counted using the ways to win system. This means that symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost, form into winning combinations. Any gaps between means that the connection is broken.

When you do land that win, the prize is paid after which the symbols pop away (hence the name). Every reel that had a symbol is then increased in height, with two symbols added to the reels. All of these symbol positions have new symbols dropping in place, and the process repeats. The max height is six symbols, and the progress resets between spins.

Features

If you manage to unlock a height of six on all reels you are automatically granted some bonus spins. Here the reels can receive even more height, going up to nine symbols. The progress doesn’t reset, and as you reach new heights you also get more bonus spins.

Before going to the bonus spins you can take your chances on the gamble wheel. You start with five spins, but if you decide to take the risk you can up that into 8 spins and then 12 spins. There’s also a golden opportunity for +4 more spins. Be careful though, you might also lose all your spins.

On top of this, during the bonus spins you receive a multiplier for your spins. It starts on 2x, and each consecutive win increases it by one.

With everything unlocked you get up to 59 049 ways to win!

Our Take

You might already be familiar with WildPop and PopWin, as this game continues the series. It’s a similar game, but not the same, giving a fresh experience even if you are familiar with the previous products. The game itself is fun to play, offers very exciting bonus features and comes with the possibility to land high wins. What’s not to like?
