MonkeyPop Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

If you’ve heard of slot game developer AvatarUX, you will undoubtedly know all about the PopWins mechanic, which most of their releases have featured.

When you consider that with paylines, it’s a case of the more, the better; having a slot where there is the potential for there to be over thirty thousand in play is never a bad thing.

AvatarUX, as a development team, takes the approach of if something works, keep going with it, and the PopWins mechanic certainly does work. And it’s hugely popular with punters.

MonkeyPop is the tenth release by AvatarUX that includes the PopWins system. Interestingly, they used an Asian theme initially, and MonkeyPop sees them revisit this idea. When you consider how loved Asian-style games are, it makes a lot of sense.

Revisiting an Asian theme has allowed AvatarUX to take a completely different approach, and they’ve got their watercolour paints out to really deliver on the visual front.

It’s far from what you’d describe as a traditional Asian-style slot, and this is a positive.

Factor into that a free spin bonus round and the PopWins mechanic, and you’ve got an all-round slot on offer, which is boosted further when more ways to win are unlocked.

Game Features

Of course, when you’re playing an AvatarUX title, the PopWins mechanic will be the star of the show. The way it works is that when a winning combination appears on the reels, the icons involved will be removed from the game area and crucially replaced by two more symbols.

When this happens, the number of active paylines naturally increases, and this is where it’s possible to max everything out to achieve 33,614 ways to win.

When the feat occurs of all of the game’s five reels being maxed out with seven rows, low-paying icons will be removed randomly from the game area, which is advantageous. Two free spins will also be awarded at this point, and there will be multipliers involved too, which is definitely not a bad thing.

The actual free spins bonus game is triggered when players land three or more scatters on the reels. An interesting concept that has been brought into play in MonkeyPop is that a reward reel screen will appear prior to the free spins beginning, and this will detail how many free rounds a player will have, the number of paylines that will be in play to start with, the starting multiplier, and potential multiplier growth.

And, if all that seems tempting, but players don’t want to wait to make it through to the reward reel screen, the great news is that they don’t have to. And, as we have seen previously with games from AvatarUX, there are three options to go direct to the bonus round – Buy Bonus, Buy Bonus Plus and Buy Bonus Max.
