Runner Runner Popwins Slot Information

It looks like we’re somewhere in space, with a blue and purple background to the transparent reels that are placed in the middle of the screen. Some shooting stars appear in the upper left corner before they disappear in the bottom right. The environment is kind of sterile, more like in Joker Wild Respin than in Space Wars 2 Powerpoints. The music is childish and jolly in major tunes. The fruity symbols land on the 5x3-grid, which expands every time you make a win. You make a win by landing at least 3 of the same symbol on adjacent reels going left to right – or right to left – starting with the first reel to the left or the right. A winning line of 5 symbols will not pay twice.

The layout gives you 468 ways to win from the start, and you can reach 15552 ways to win in the base game, where the reels can grow 6 rows high. In the free spins, where the reels can become 9 rows high, the ways to win are 118098. Every symbol in a win will vanish while new symbols are being added, while every reel containing a winning symbol expands by one row. If a new win can be made, the symbols will once again disappear while new ones pop up, and the involved reels will once again grow. Every reel can have between 3 and 6 rows in the base game, and you’ll trigger the free spins if you manage to grow all reels into 6 rows. The reels grow during the same spin in so-called cascading wins. If no more wins can be made, the reels will return to the standard 5x3 setup for the next spin. Runner Runner Popwins is available on all devices such as mobile phones, notepads, and desktop computers.

There are 13 regular paying symbols in the game but no wild or scatter symbol. The lower-paying symbols are lemon, cherries, orange, plum, pear, and bell. They pay between 0.2X-0.3X for a winline of 5. The medium-paying symbols are strawberry, grapes, watermelon, and 7. They will award the player between 0.4X to 0.8X the bet for a 5-symbol win. The best paying symbols are star, bar, and crown, paying between 1.2X-2.5X for a complete winline. There’s also a Multiplier Symbol that can appear if you’re playing with the Super Stake. The multiplier can’t be used to make regular wins, but its number is used to multiply any win that occurs on a spin where the multiplier appears.

Runner Runner Popwins Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Runner Runner Popwins?

You can win up to 5000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Runner Runner Popwins?

The features are Cascading Wins, Expanding Reels, Gamble, Super Stake, Bonus Wheel, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Cascading Wins

Cascade is a type of grape, but it’s not that one we’re referring to here, even though the game contains grapes too. Every time you make a win, the involved symbols will disappear, and new symbols will replace them. If you can make another win, the involved symbols in that one will also disappear, and you’ll be presented with new symbols until no more wins can be made. The cascading wins happen within the same spin.

Expanding Reels

Every time you make a cascading win, the reels containing winning symbols will expand with one row upwards. All reels can expand to 6 rows in the base game and 9 rows in the free spins. The free spins unlock when all reels have expanded 6 rows high. The reels go back to being 3 rows high in the base game whenever no more cascading wins are being made. 

Gamble

You can gamble in a classic all-or-nothing game. Your objective is to foretell a playing card being drawn, and your options are to choose color (black or red) or suit (hearts, diamonds, spades, or clubs). If you nail the color, your win will be doubled, and if you nail the suit, your win will be quadrupled. If your guess is wrong, you’ll lose your win.

Super Stake

Random multipliers will be added to the reels if you press the golden Super Stake button. If a multiplier lands, it will be used to multiply any win by its number. You can’t make regular wins with multipliers.

Bonus Wheel

Expanding the reels 6 rows high, or purchasing the Bonus Buy, will take you to the free spins. You’ll pass by the Bonus Wheel before you can start spinning, though. There are actually 3 different wheels, awarding between 5 and 15 spins and a multiplier starting between 2X and 25X. The multipliers on the first wheel range from 2X-10X, the second wheel from 5X-15X, and the third reel from 10X-25X. 

Free Spins

The grid is 6 rows high when the free spins start, and it can grow to 9 rows by making cascading wins. The multiplier, which the Bonus Wheel randomly chooses, starts between 2X and 25X. It increases by 1 for every win and by 2 if you manage to expand the reels 9 rows high. The free spins are over when you run out of spins or reach the max win 10000X the bet.

Bonus Buy

The Bonus Buy will get you the free spins for a fixed amount. The cost is 80X, 150X, or 400X the bet depending on if you want the first, second, or third Multiplier Wheel that can reward a maximum multiplier of between 10X and 25X. You can also pay 200X the bet and let the game randomly choose one of the multiplier wheels for you.

Runner Runner Popwins Slot Conclusion

Runner Runner Popwins is a perfect mix of classic symbols and new cool features. Stakelogic has put together a complete game that can keep players entertained for a long time. The expanding reels are a very nice touch, and we appreciate that the free spins are activated through them and not through a scatter symbol. It raises the excitement when new rows are being added on consecutive cascading wins. The Super Stake is also an interesting feature. It’s present in many slots from Stakelogic, but does different things in the games. Here, it throws a multiplier on the reels every now and then. The cost doubles the bet, so the regular wins will only pay half as much as the same bet without the Super Stake, but it’s compensated with higher wins thanks to the multipliers. The RTP doesn’t change, so it’s all up to the player to choose the Super Stake or not.

The RTP of 96.50% is another thing that deserves some attention, being quite a bit higher than the average slot RTP. The max win of 10000X the bet for a game with medium-high volatility is also positive. It can be won in the free spins, which can become really lucrative with high multipliers. The possibility of making wins from both left and right is another nifty little detail that we appreciate.

Runner Runner Popwins from Stakelogic mixes classic casino slot symbols with cool modern features on expanding reels, awarding up to 10000X the bet.
