JohnSlots Announces its Mission to Review the Latest Popiplay Slot Games

JohnSlots and Popiplay are both on an upwards trajectory-two brands that have had a significant impact on the iGaming sector in their own ways. And now they’re coming together, as JohnSlots has just announced that it will review 40 Popiplay slots over the next year, covering the developer’s latest games and discussing their pros and cons for the studio’s growing audience of eager players.
Who are Popiplay and JohnSlots?
JohnSlots launched back in 2013 and quickly established itself as a trusted source for casino and slot reviews. It adopted a unique approach from the outset, hiring experienced writers and instructing them to follow a meticulous 15-point rating process that accounts for aspects such as:
• Gaming metrics—including the game’s RTP, payout frequency and maximum payout
• Gameplay—the enjoyability of the game and how easy it is to play
• Features—free spins, bonus rounds, jackpots, payline mechanics and other notable features
• Experience—how the game’s rules, features and paytable correspond to the actual gameplay experience
Every review is honest, and each one takes the writer about 16 hours to complete. Only when they are properly acquainted with the game will the writer start the review and provide their rating.
Popiplay & JohnSlots: What it Means
For JohnSlots, this partnership will provide its review team with 40 different titles, all released steadily throughout the next year. Some of these games have already been featured on the site, while others are in the works and undergoing that extensive review process, including September and October 2024 releases like Cultist, Baba Jam, Bubbles and Maxzilla.
Popiplay could also benefit, as it means the developer’s slots will be covered by one of the most experienced review teams in the sector. They will be subject to strict scrutiny, but if they emerge with positive ratings, it puts more eyes on those new releases.
Popiplay launched as recently as 2022, so it has only had a couple of years to make an impact. It has released a lot of slots in that time and is already making a name for itself, but a series of positive reviews could be a shot in the arm for this Scandinavian studio.
Its expanding portfolio already features at many online casinos, and as more operators and aggregators stand up and take notice, that number will increase. Collaborations like this one could help the studio’s reputation.
What it Means for Players
Online casino gamers are the ones who will benefit the most from this partnership:
• Honest and Transparent Reviews: There is no shortage of slot reviews out there, but JohnSlots adopts a different approach to the usual brief summaries. Every review is detailed and extensive, with a 15-point system that accounts for all important metrics and features.
• Free-Play Games: There are over 1500 slot reviews on the JohnSlots platform, and 98% of these host a demo game. The same will be true for most of the Popiplay titles that its team reviews, giving players a chance to spin them risk-free and make up their own minds.
• News on the Latest Popiplay Titles: Popiplay already has a substantial following, and those fans can read reviews of the latest slots shortly after their release. Despite spending over 16 hours on each review, the JohnSlots team works quickly and gets these reviews out while there is still plenty of buzz around the slot.
• A Cherry-Picked Selection: There are dozens of developers releasing hundreds of slots every year and giving players a seemingly endless selection. It can be overwhelming, but JohnSlots aims to narrow those releases down, highlighting the very best and showing players what makes them so special. It means that gamers can skip the filler and focus on the games that are actually worth playing.

Amusnet Releases Candy Wheel

Amusnet’s latest Live Casino portfolio addition, Candy Wheel, invites players on an unforgettable journey where every spin bursts with excitement. Candy Wheel dazzles with its vibrant gameplay centered around a colourful wheel divided into 50 dynamic sectors, each packed with unique payout possibilities. Players can jump into the action by placing their bets on six exciting sectors — also known as tickets — and predicting where the wheel will land next.
Led by a charismatic live presenter, every moment unfolds in real time with crystal-clear video streaming and multiple camera angles that capture each thrilling spin. The host keeps the energy sky-high — announcing results, chatting with players and turning every round into a full-on celebration.
And just when you think it can’t get any sweeter, Candy Wheel introduces a couple of special features to spice things up even more:
Candy Ticket
The Candy Ticket feature appears randomly during gameplay and rewards players with a free re-bet on one of the six tickets available. If you’ve placed a bet on the chosen ticket, you’ll automatically receive a free bet for the next round – same ticket, same value. Watch as your chip transforms into a candy-themed version and slides to the side, leaving you free to place new bets and double the fun.
Dynamic Multipliers
Dynamic Multipliers is a thrilling feature that can boost players’ payout up to 25x. Similar to the Candy Ticket feature, a multiplier and а sector are randomly selected and revealed on the circular screen. If you’ve placed a bet on that sector, your winnings will be multiplied by 2x, 5x, 10x or 25x. An electrifying twist that adds a whole new layer of suspense – and serious reward potential brought to every spin.
Jackpot Cards
The Jackpot Cards Bonus game is triggered at random during the gameplay to allow players to win impressive Jackpots.
