HipHop Pop Review
In the modern world, everyone disagrees and ends up fighting over something. However, not all battles can be fought on the battlefield and they are determined by rap battles in HipHop Pop.
Bounce through the vibrant streets and soar through the crowds to uncover the ultimate rap battles with AvatarUX's slot. Armed with PopWins and multipliers, surviving the rap battle can lead to wins of up to 50,000x stake.
Design
It's clear from just opening up this slot, that there are inspirations from slots such as East Coast vs West Coast and Hustling. Each of these slots has an urban theme with a focus on two different factions battling against each other.
As HipHop Pop opens up, there is a still image in the distance but it's a shot of a metropolitan street with neon lights, graffiti and crowds everywhere. It's a little disappointing that there are no animations, but the design brings the imagery to life enough.
To fit in with the rap theme, all the symbols are related to music with various instruments and objects such as beatboxes. Again, none of these symbols are really animated which seems a little odd for AvatarUX not to go the extra mile.
Naturally, there is a funky beat throughout the slot but it's nothing overwhelming. It seems quite light for what the slot is going for and we expected something a little more intense.
Gameplay
As the name implies, this slot contains the magnificent PopWins mechanic. On every winning spin, symbols will pop, add in an extra symbol and increase the reel height. During the free spins round, this leads to multipliers.
In order to trigger the free spin round, the PopWins must've increased the reel height by 6 at least. The free spins round is definitely worth it with guaranteed wilds or synchronised reels leading to the biggest wins.
At first, the user interface may be a little overwhelming, but it becomes easy to comprehend once you get started. All you need to do to get started is set the bet level and start spinning.
Win Potential
Every slot is an upgrade for AvatarUX as the company understands more of what players are looking for. HipHop Pop hits all the right notes with a great RTP and an incredible maximum win.
The RTP is at 96.05% which is over the average standard and generally acceptable. As for the maximum win, this high volatility slot contains a mega win of up to 50,000x stake.
In order to gain this amount, you'll have to trigger the free spins round and expand the reels up to the maximum level leading to the biggest multipliers.
Our Verdict
Whilst a rapping slot is not something completely original, with the PopWins mechanic, it definitely feels that way. AvatarUX has this brilliant way of making everything feel original with this mechanic.
From the base game to the bonus round, there is always something going on in HipHop Pop. Our only critique would be the design not feeling up to the typical standard, but it's still heads and shoulders above the rest of the iGaming world.
