PapayaPop Review
PapayaPop is a luxury 6-reel Art Deco themed slot developed by AvatarUX Studios in partnership with Yggdrasil that sees players spin the neon reels in the hopes of fully expanding the game reels, triggering unlimited free spins, which can see players open up a massive 118,098 ways to win with increasing win multipliers in play.
Design
It's hard to pinpoint exactly which element of PapayaPop grabbed our attention first and foremost, the hugely catchy Jazz soundtrack, or the opulent neon Art Deco design of the game.
It's quite easy to forget that this is essentially a food-themed slot, the high paying symbols in this slot are a whole host of colourful exotic fruits that you might be hard-pressed to find in your local supermarket! However, this game could also quite easily be categorised as a retro-themed slot or luxury-themed slot due to its strong and memorable design.
Upon triggering the free spins the jazzy soundtrack morphs into a high-octane dance track and the entire game screen and reels turn from neon purple to bright, sparkling gold... It certainly got us pumped up for big wins.
All in all we were more than impressed with the overall design of PapayaPop, it's pretty hard not to be charmed by this jazzy fruit-inspired title,
Gameplay
Part of the PopWin series by AvatarUX, this game is the latest in a line of fairly niche slots that utilise the unfamiliar PopWins mechanic that sees the game grid expand to allow for more ways to win.
Not quite sure what PpopWins are? These occur when winning symbols are popped, splitting in two, increasing the number of rows and overall ways to win. The rows on the reels can grow as high as 9 symbols high during bonus rounds.
When it comes to navigating and spinning the reels of this slot you'll find that it's refreshingly simple, all of the game's buttons are found to the right of the game reels.
Win Potential
This high volatility slot has an RTP of 96%, which is just on the cusp of the industry standard. The maximum amount players can win when playing this game is 10,542x their stake, which isn't bad or out of reach, especially considering players can benefit from huge increasing multipliers during the unlimited free spins bonus.
Our Verdict
If we're being honest, the PopWins mechanic is something that had completely flown under our radar in the past, which says something as the team here at Slot Gods genuinely have a very good grasp on everything going on within the iGaming industry.
It's an interesting concept and the game looks and sounds fantastic, but having done our research there's nothing to suggest that his PopWins slot has done anything special to really ascend into the mainstream!
If you're looking for something different then this slot will fit the bill and you should give it a spin.
