HipHopPop Slot Information

HipHopPop is a celebration of the music style hip hop. It takes place in a big city at night, with giant skyscrapers and people hanging out in the streets. In the bottom right corner is a woman writing graffiti on a wall, and the tall buildings have signs in neon light. Maybe we’re in New York, where the music genre was created in the 70s. Don’t expect hip-hop music to accompany your spins, though. The theme song of HipHopPop has a futuristic sound, like a mix of lounge and pop music.

To make a win on the city streets, you need to land at least 3 symbols of the same kind on adjacent reels. A win can either go from left to right, starting at the first reel to the left or from right to left, starting at the first reel to the right. That will give you 486 ways to win from the start on the base game’s 5 reels and 3 rows. HipHopPop is available on desktops, notepads, and mobile phones.

The lower-paying symbols are the royals 10, J, Q, K, and A, painted in graffiti style. They pay between 1.2X and 1.6X the bet for a win containing 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are spray cans, sneakers, boom-box, a b-boy, a b-girl, a DJ, and a rapper. These 7 symbols award between 2.5X and 8X the bet. There’s also a super high-paying symbol in the shape of a golden $-sign with diamonds, which is only available in the free spins and pays 15X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols and also only appears in the free spins. There’s no Scatter Symbol; the free spins are instead activated by expanding all reels 6 rows high in the base game.

HipHopPop Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot HipHopPop?

You can win up to 50000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot HipHopPop?

The features are PopWins, Wild Symbol, Free Spins Gamble, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

PopWins

Each winning symbol will pop before it’s replaced by 2 new ones, making an extra row on the reel. If you’re able to make a new win, the involved symbols will pop again while new ones are added, increasing the number of reels even more. The PopWins go on as long as you can make a new win, and the reels are reset to 3 rows high before the next spin in the base game. Increasing all reels to 6 rows triggers the free spins, which also use the PopWins. In the free spins, the reels can grow from 6 rows to a maximum of 9.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is a death skull wearing a baseball hat and headphones. It substitutes all symbols, and only appears in the free spins.

Free Spins Gamble

When triggering the Free Spins, the player can choose to start the feature straight away or to gamble the spins for a chance to win more. From the start, the player is awarded 6, 7, or 8 spins with either random guaranteed wild symbols or random synced reels. The gamble wheel can be played twice. Winning the first wheel spin will increase the free spins to 7, 8, or 9 with random guaranteed wilds or random synced reels, or both. Winning the second gamble increases the free spins up to 10 and gives a bonus pick. The bonus pick lets the player choose between synced reels on every spin or guaranteed wilds on every spin.

The really lucky player can also land a special golden field that gives an opportunity to win up to 12 free spins on the first gamble and 13 on the second. The probability for a regular win on gambles 1 and 2 is 49.5%, and the probability for a golden win is 1%. If you lose the gamble, you lose all your free spins and return to the base game.

Free Spins

The Free Spins start with 6 rows on each reel, and they can grow up to 9 rows tall during PopWins. The reels reset down to the shortest reel height between every spin. You’ll also start with a multiplier of 2X that increases by 1 for every PopWin. Expanding all reels to 9 rows adds +4 to the multiplier, and an extra +4 is added for every win in that pop-round. Expanding all reels also grants two additional spins.

Wild Symbols and Super High Symbols only appear in the free spins, raising the chances of landing big wins. Depending on the mode you enter the free spins, you can have guaranteed wild symbols, synced reels, or both. The synced reels mean that 2 adjacent reels become synchronized and land identical symbols for a higher chance to score wins. The free spins go on until the player runs out of spins, or until the max win of 50000X the bet is reached.

Bonus Buy

You can buy the free spins in several different ways. Paying 75X the bet will get you the regular feature with 6, 7, or 8 spins. Quadrupling that sum to 300X the bet will get you either 10 free spins with guaranteed wilds on every spin or 10 free spins with synced reels on every spin. Going all-in and paying 1000X the bet awards the extended free spins with guaranteed wilds and synced reels on every spin.

HipHopPop Slot Conclusion

HipHopPop is supposed to be all about hip-hop, but the game developer has missed one of the most important things: hip-hop music. Instead of a drum-based beat, Avatar UX has created a mysterious futuristic song with a lot of synthesizer sounds. The graphics and symbols follow the theme perfectly, though. The game looks great, and it’s easy to follow the popping symbols that make the reels grow. The starting setup is the same as in KokeshiPop, but you’ll shortly notice that HipHopPop takes quicker turns with its super high volatility. The reels can also grow bigger, giving you up to 9 rows and 118098 ways to win in the free spins.

The free spins can produce great wins, especially if you gamble once or twice to enhance your chances. You should be aware that the risk of losing all spins is almost 50% in both gambles, though. Not only do the free spins have a multiplier, but you’ll also find the super high-paying symbol and wilds. Depending on your luck, you might also have guaranteed synced reels on each spin.

The default RTP of 96.05% is alright, but nothing to brag about. The max win of 50000X the bet is, on the other hand, more impressive. If this game makes you want to see more of the PopWins mechanic, you shouldn’t miss BountyPop, which has a similar setup and a max win of 55000X the bet.

HipHopPop from Avatar UX is a celebration of the music style and culture, with the PopWins mechanic creating wins up to 50000X the bet.
