CRITTER POP SLOT REVIEW
The Critter Pop Pop Wins slot created by Avatar UX has a 5 x 3-reel format, comes with up to 65,536 ways to win, and up to 96.00% RTP and high variance.
The game comes with a fusion of an outer space theme and an animal theme. This is necessitated by the fact that the game’s background graphics depict outer space while the dominant symbols appearing on the reels are animated creatures.
GAME LAYOUT
An outer space spectrum provides the background graphics to the Critter Pop game. Avatar UX deliberately left the game’s reel grid transparent thereby enabling players to appreciate the magnificent outer space graphics throughout their gaming sessions.

BONUSES
- Wild: The flames icon which comes with a WILD inscription acts as Critter Pop slot’s substituting symbol.
- Scatter: A hot pink artefact that comes with a BONUS inscription acts as the game’s scatter symbol.
- PopWins: Critter Pop uses the innovative Popwins ways to win mechanic. Thanks to the mechanic, each time players land a winning combination, the winning symbols pop and explode. Once they do, they are replaced by two new symbols. The addition of the symbols necessitates an increase in the reel height and in turn, the number of active ways to win. The highest reel height that can be reached during the base game is 6-symbols high while in the free spins round it’s 8-symbols high.
- Free Spins Round: To start playing the Critter Pop free spins round, players should land simultaneously three scatters. The beauty of triggering this round is that the progress of unlocking new reels doesn’t reset on each spin. Even more impressive is the fact that fully unlocking the reels during the round will see the player scoop an additional two free spins as well as a 2x win multiplier. The number of active ways to win at the start of the feature are dependent upon the number of triggering scatters. When three, four or five scatters trigger the feature, the starting number of active ways to win stands at 2048, 6250 or 15,552 ways respectively.
- Rewards Reels: Upon launching the free spins round, the rewards reels feature automatically triggers. Players start by playing the rewards reels feature before they head over to the free spins round. When playing the rewards reels, players get one shot at spinning the rewards reel. After the spin, players stand a chance of winning random prizes which include high-value symbol multipliers of up to 3x, random wilds, giga symbols covering 3x reel positions, mega symbols covering 2×2 reel positions, multiplier growth, starting multiplier and starting free spins.
- Multiplier: Another feature which triggers concurrently with the free spins round is the multiplier feature. The multiplier feature applies a 1x win multiplier to all initial wins during the free spins round. Any consecutive Popwins that players land thereafter increment the multiplier by one. When all reels are unlocked during the free spins, the player scoops a 2x multiplier growth and an extra two free spins.
- Buy Bonus: The buy bonus button on the main screen allows players to gain direct access to the free spins round by paying 125x the bet.
- Buy Bonus Plus: The buy bonus plus allows players to gain direct access to the enhanced free spins mode by paying 250x the bet.
- Buy Bonus Max: The buy bonus max allows players to gain direct access to the enhanced free spins mode by paying 500x the bet.
