CherryPop Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

AvatarUX is a renowned independent developer in the slot game world, with their mechanic PopWins continuing to impress. The latest release from the studio, CherryPop™, is the third title from the team that makes use of PopWins, and it could well be the best so far.

The previous two titles, PopRocks and WildPops, had an Asian feel to them, but now AvatarUX have decided it’s time to head back to the old school and create a game that details the roots of slots with CherryPop, a modern take on the fruit machine.

In short, CherryPop is a game that combines the traditional fruit machine of old with modern tweaks to produce an incredibly clean-looking and eye-catching product. Slot players enjoy retro as much as everyone, but modern visuals elevate the experience further, which we see in CherryPop.

So, punters are going to see fruit symbols that include melons and grapes, alongside other traditional icons like diamonds and four-leaf clovers, which are all wrapped up in a game area where there is a neon border. And then there’s a soundtrack playing as the reels spin, and it’s 80s electronica on the playlist, which positively adds to the whole experience.

Players, who can spin the reels of CherryPop from 20c, with a maximum bet of €40, are treated to a game that initially has 243 ways to win, but you could say it’s immediately doubled as the slot pays in both directions. And the AvatarUX also load the game with plenty of features too.

Game Features

What can often be the case is that old-school slots with a fruit machine vibe can be too basic across the board. However, the features in CherryPop buck this trend, and they’re the perfect opportunity for AvatarUX to bring their renowned PopWins mechanic to the fore.

The PopWins system sees winning icons removed from the game area, but crucially replaced by two more, which means the reels will expand each time this happens, which is also why it’s possible to get thousands of ways to win when playing.

If the game’s five reels expand to six rows across the board, then the player will receive five free spins. Before they begin playing through their rounds, punters can gamble their free games in the hope of winning more. A successful gamble is worth sixteen free spins, but it’s possible to lose them all too.

The winning potential in CherryPop increases in the free spin bonus feature as a win multiplier of x2 kicks in from the beginning. Every time the PopWin mechanic triggers, the multiplier climbs by x1, and the system also has the ability to grow the game area bigger than in standard play.

For those eager to play the bonus feature and enjoy some free spins, it is possible to go direct to it, but it will cost 75x the active stake. It can save a lot of time, but also it’s worth weighing up the cost to do so.
