From today, visionary games studio, AvatarUX, will be delivering WildPops, WildPops series and promises an improved gameplay experience with some nice big win potential.

With a sharp focus on innovation combined with the vast experience of Managing Director, Marcus Honney, and his team, AvatarUX is garnering a reputation for delivering quality design with a fresh, bespoke experience to slot fans. From the very first reel spin, the mechanics and art direction make you feel part of the PopWins world, instantly drawn to the quirky characters and smooth gameplay.

As you would expect from a team with such a strong focus on solid maths and engaging game play experience, there are an abundance of exclusive features in both WildPops and the series as a whole.

WildPops feature, first introduced in PopRocks, where reels expand with each win until they reach an impressive 7 reels high. You will also still be able to collect consecutive wins in your meter to increase your multiplier, which can really give your wins a boost.

In addition, there are some brilliant new features exclusive to WildPops that players can get their teeth into. ‘Unlock Wilds’ will release two wilds with every third consecutive win, and the ‘Extra Lives’ feature comes in handy when the reels are expanded to 5×7, delivering 3 extra lives when the final pop earns no win. Nice save!

WildPops offers a top prize of over 17,000x your stake with a 96.2% RTP and 33,614 ways to win. It’s a high volatility game that offers a lot to keep you entertained throughout your spins. The visual theme of the game is much more colourful and fun in comparison to its more atmospheric predecessor, and the contrast is refreshing in a world where sequels often get a bad rap.

As Marcus Honney says “It’s easier to turn around a speedboat than a yacht” and it’s clear that this agile studio listened to player feedback to create something truly unique and joyously functional.

Customers can pop it like it’s slot on July 9th when the crazy WildPops creatures will be let loose in casino lobbies across the land. The game will be distributed through the Yggdrasil YGS Masters Program.
