AvatarUX introduces new cascading mechanic in GemPops
Award-winning slots studio AvatarUX has rolled out a brand-new mechanic in newest title, GemPops.
Every spin starts with a variable reel height, which can be as small as three reels or up to seven positions high. In addition, there is a reel multiplier assigned to each individual one, which increases every time there is a symbol win. During base play, whenever it reaches max height, the multiplier is awarded.
The Popscade mechanic sees all winning symbols in a combination disappear, with fresh ones cascading down from the heightened reel, rather than ‘popping’ into the empty cell, as per the iconic PopWins™ associated with AvatarUX.
Three or more diamond bonus symbols will trigger the free spins mode, where players can also use the Gamble Wheel to earn the chance for increased spins and a higher starting multiplier.
During the bonus, Xpops can be triggered, causing symbols to pop by a random amount ranging from one to four times, while up to three more spins can be unlocked if special bombs land on the reel.
If a reel is unlocked to its full height in the free spins mode, the accompanied multiplier is transferred to the total multiplier amount, further boosting win potential.
In addition, GemPops contains both a Buy Bonus and Ante Bet option in certain jurisdictions, further boosting player engagement.
The game is initially available exclusively to AvatarUX’s partners with direct integrations and will be rolled out globally later.
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “We’re thrilled to roll out GemPops, incorporating some exciting new mechanics that further explore extended spins and expanded paylines in every single spin.
“We have made it our mission to create engaging, forward-looking games, mechanics, and products, and this is yet another example of the strides we’re taking as a slot studio.”

Bronze card has been claimed during the group stage; silver and gold prizes remain available until 31 July.
Tonybet said it has paid out its first major prize in its World Cup Card Collection campaign for Canadian customers (excluding Ontario), after a player secured the promotion’s bronze card worth $15,000 CAD.
The operator said the World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards to collect during the tournament: 48 digital cards tied to participating World Cup nations, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—linked to a $150,000 CAD total prize fund.
According to Tonybet, the bronze card has been available through the World Cup’s group stage and has now been claimed. The silver card is available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals, while the gold card is held back for the closing semi-finals and final.
Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “With Canada co-hosting the World Cup for the first time, the tournament has felt closer to home than ever before for Canadians, and it has already delivered a moment most supporters could only dream about with the national team advancing to the knockout stages.
“For one lucky Canada supporter, it has now produced another story that will be worth retelling long after the final whistle has gone – with our lucky winner among the first Tonybet customers to win one of the unique cards in our World Cup Card Collection, taking home a cool $15,000 for managing to get his hands on bronze. Who will end up with silver and gold?”
Tonybet said the same three unique cards are also in circulation across its other markets, with varying outcomes so far. The World Cup Card Collection campaign runs until 31 July, with a $150,000 CAD prize pool for Canada and separate prize pools in other markets.
