PapayaPop Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

As you will guess from the name, it’s fruits such as the papaya, exotic fruits, that are the stars of the show in PapayaPop.

It’s not a game where the standard cherries and the like make an appearance on the reels, which will please those who perhaps are bored of seeing fruit slots that look the same as each other. And this isn’t the only thing that PapayaPop has going for it.

When Pop is in the name of a slot developed by AvatarUX, you know that it’s another instalment of their PopWins collection of games.

While some people may be quick to think that it’s just going to be another that works similarly to what has gone before, there are a few differences this time, as AvatarUX are keen to prove they’re not one trick ponies.

Interestingly, AvatarUX team up with leading development team Yggdrasil for this release, which sees them once again revisit a theme they’ve covered before.

Fruit-themed slots are hugely popular in the slot game world, primarily because of old-school fruit machines. But, unlike the path that many developers go down, instead of reproducing a typical fruit-themed slot for a second time, AvatarUX aims to go upmarket in PapayaPop.

Game Features

If you’re new to the world of the PopWins mechanic, essentially, when winning combinations are found, the icons involved are replaced by new ones, and in turn, the reels extend upwards, increasing the number of rows and, therefore, the ways to win.

If a player can achieve the feat of maxing the reels out and the rows climbing to six rows across the board, free spins will be available, and a multiplier will start at 2x. And, before the free spins begin, players can gamble what they have for 6,250 ways to win and a x5 multiplier, but it’s also possible to lose it all.

The bonus game in PapayaPop sees players begin with three lives rather than a set number of free rounds.

It’s in this round that it’s possible to max out the paylines to 118,098, and if this happens, the paylines will stay locked until the end of the bonus round, which will always continue until all of a player’s lives have run out.

AvatarUX also throw a rising multiplier into the mix in the bonus game, and it will climb by 1x after each free spin, regardless of whether there was a win or not.

If a player does max out the reels to nine rows apiece, the multiplier will climb by 2x per round, which is even better.

Of course, the bonus game is the big draw because of how rewarding it can be, so knowing there is the bonus buy option, which is a tradition with PopWins titles, is another positive for punters.
