GemPops Slot Overview
GemPops is a new casino slot from Avatar UX. Fans of previous Avatar UX games can look forward to another release with popping symbols and expanding reels. However, the usual PopWins feature, where winning symbols are replaced by new symbols in the same positions, has been exchanged for the Popscades feature, which adds new symbols from above. It makes the gaming experience more similar to the Megaways mechanic. The new Xpops feature also shares similarities with Megaways, expanding reels randomly on any spin or cascade.
The mission this time is to collect valuable gems and hopefully multiply your wins with the Reel Multipliers, which become active whenever a reel reaches its maximum height. And don’t forget to look out for the diamond, which can take you to the lucrative Free Spins feature.
GemPops is a video slot from Avatar UX with 5 reels that can have between 3 and 8 rows. Depending on the number of symbols, there are between 486 and 32,768 ways to win on each spin. The Min.bet is 0.2, and the Max.bet is 100. The default RTP is 96.01%, but the developer is also releasing it in two other versions with RTPs of 94% and 90.5%. You spin the reels with high volatility and a hit frequency of 24.83%, where the max win is capped at 10,000X the bet.
When gems are popping, don’t miss the features Popscades, Xpops, Reel Multipliers, Ante Bet, Gamble Wheel, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.
GemPops Slot Information
GemPops takes the player to a cave or maybe an underground mine. It’s probably a place where valuable gems can be found, although none are in sight. A purple light covers the walls, and the reels are framed with a neon-looking purple light. There are 3 rows on each of the 5 reels when you start the game, but any reel can expand up to 4 rows, changing the setup on each spin. As in other games from Avatar UX, a feature expands the reels for every winning symbol that disappears. It’s called Popscades and works a little differently than the developer’s usual feature PopWins.
To the side of the reels is a counter telling you how many ways to win there are on each spin, and above each of them is a Reel Multiplier that grows when you make wins. All you have to do to score a win is land 3 or more symbols of the same type on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left or the right. The ways to win are doubled compared to other games with the same number of symbols since you can make wins from two directions.
The lower-paying symbols are coins of 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. Making a 5-of-a-kind win with them awards between 0.5X and 0.75X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are red, orange, purple, green, and blue gems in different shapes. They will give you between 1.25X and 5X the bet for a win containing 5 symbols. There is no Wild Symbol but a Scatter Symbol that can trigger the Free Spins. In the Free Spins is also a special Bomb Symbol.
