HipHopPop Slot Review

HipHopPop is a video slot from AvatarUX Studios that was released on November 25, 2022. This is a video slot that honors the hip hop musical style. The action takes place in a major metropolitan area late at night, complete with towering buildings and crowds of people wandering about the streets. A lady can be seen creating graffiti on a wall in the lower right corner, and the towering buildings all have signage that are lit up by neon light. Perhaps we are in New York, the city that served as the incubator for the genre of music in the 1970s. You shouldn't, however, anticipate hearing hip-hop music when you spin the wheel. It sounds like a mashup of lounge and pop music, which gives the soundtrack for this slot a very futuristic vibe. Read our review to decide whether it is worth your time and money playing it.

HipHopPop Bonus Features

Wild

This symbol appears only during the Free Spins.

Pop Wins

Each symbol that is a part of a winning combination bursts, causing it to be replaced by two more symbols and therefore raising the height of the reel. This process will continue as long as there are other wins. During normal gameplay, the height of each reel may be increased to a maximum of 6 symbols.

Synced Reels

While the reels are spinning, two of the reels that are next to each other get synchronized and land matching symbols. 

Free Spins

This feature is triggered by expanding the height of the reels to 6 symbols. The Free Spins reels begin at a height of 6 symbols and may expand all the way up to a height of 9 symbols and may grant up to 118089 paylines thanks to the Win Both Ways feature . During Free Spins, the amount of progress made toward unlocking the reels does not completely reset between each spin. The only adjustment made is to return it to its lowest possible reel height. The are 3 Free Spins Modes: 

 - Free Spins level 1 awards between 6 and 8 additional free spins, each of which may have a random number of guaranteed wild symbols or a random number of synchronized reels.

 - Free Spins level 2 awards between 7 and 9 more free spins, each of which may have either random Synced Reels or random Guaranteed Wild Symbols, or both.

 - Free Spins level 3 offer the player up to 10 free spins as well as a Bonus Pick option to choose the Free Spins game mode in which they want to engage. You have the option of choosing to either always have synchronized reels or always have assured wilds throughout every spin.

Throughout the Free Spins bonus round, if you unlock all of the reels, you will get an instant multiplier of x4 and an additional multiplier of x4 for each win during the pop round. In addition, during the Free Spins bonus round, unlocking all of the reels awards an extra 2 free spins.

Our Experience Playing HipHopPop

When we fired up the game, we were met with a rather straightforward neon-lit reelset and a music that caused our heads to bob. It seemed as if the abundance of extra features was the primary selling point of this slot machine, and it was time for us to determine whether or not it was merely a gimmick to get you to spend more of your money. To determine whether or not this was the case, we resorted to our tried-and-true technique, which consisted of making a deposit of 200 Euros, adjusting the stake to 1 Euro, and playing the game for around 300 rounds. We did not have to wait long before we were sent to the bonus round of free spins, we did not gamble and just took 6 spins straight away. The payout of that bonus round was a decent sum of 86.20 Euros. We didn't think it was a horrible beginning at all. Taking into account the high degree of volatility of this slot machine, our winnings of 51.20 Euros after the first 100 spins were decent. As was to be anticipated, over the next one hundred spins on the slot machine, it became greedy, and we ended up losing all of the money that we had previously gained. TThe bonus round was not triggered during the last one hundred spins, and the rewards were similarly poor throughout this portion of the game. Even though we ended up losing 83.20 Euros after 300 spins on this slot machine, we couldn't help but be pleased by how engaging it was owing to the bonus features and the excellent music.

HipHopPop Verdict

To the best of our knowledge, there are not too many music-themed video slots with extreme volatility. If there are any at all, this slot has the potential to become one of the most popular games in that category. Extreme volatility has the potential to draw in a huge number of gamblers who like taking significant risks in the expectation of receiving substantial rewards, and the entire design of this slot machine makes it an excellent option for such players. In general, this is a fantastic new slot machine, and it is well worth both your time and money to play it at least once. Good luck and have fun!
