Welcome to the jungle ruled by a Hippo. His royal majesty the Hippo and his animal friends all live in harmony and are there to help players land big wins, up to 48,150x the bet per spin. Thanks to the PopWins mechanics, the reels expand, giving up to 65,536 ways to win. Expand the reels to a certain point with successive pops, or wins, to trigger the Free Spins feature. Continue expanding reels to get more free spins, boost the win multiplier, and increase the value of the Hippo symbol. This super high volatility game comes with an RTP of 96.1%.
When you start spinning the reels, you begin with a 5x3 reel grid and 486 ways to win. Punters need to land matching symbols on at least three successive reels, beginning from the leftmost reel, if they want to win payouts. Winning symbols pop and disappear from the grid. The popped cell is replaced with 2 new ones, increasing the size of the reel. Reels continue to grow as long as you land successive winning pops. After a non-winning pop, reels reset to the 5x3 layout. Betting starts at $0.20. Gamers cannot bet more than $40 per spin.
In this lovely-looking jungle, where the reels are set, you will find plenty of wild animals. Note that these animals are made of precious gemstones. Hippo is the top-paying symbol and is made of gold. Flamingo is next in line, made of rubies. The jade Tiger comes afterward and is followed by the Zebra, Frog, Parrot, and Fish. Playing cards are used as low-value icons. There are no Wilds nor Scatters on offer in this game.
When you increase all reels up to 6 cells in height, you will unlock the base game multiplier. The multiplier will keep rising as long as you land winning pops. When that is over, the Free Spins feature is triggered, while the multiplier from the base game becomes the starting win multiplier in the Free Spins feature. Another way to trigger the Free Spins feature is through the Buy Bonus, for a price of 85x the bet.
Before the feature begins, spinners have the option to gamble and spin the Wheel to get more free spins and bigger multipliers. Get 5, 7, or 9 freebies with a starting win multiplier of up to 10x, depending on your achieved level. Freebies begin with a 5x3 grid, while the reels can get as high as 8 cells. A non-winning pop will not reset the entire grid, it will only return all reels to the size of the smallest reel. Each win increases the win multiplier, which does not reset after a non-winning pop. Hippo payouts get bigger in free spins. Depending on the size of the reels, Hippos will pay up to 4x their base value when forming winning combos. Unlock the reels in full to get additional free spins.
We are certain that you will have a good time in this interesting jungle. His majesty the Hippo is a generous ruler, offering max payouts of 48,150x the bet per spin. Note that these kinds of payouts can be expected in the Free Spins feature, when you boost the multipliers, numbers of winning ways, and the value of the Hippo. HippoPop is a game you should try.
