If you are one of the few people who haven’t seen the Pillars of Creation image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, I suggest you get on that sharpish. In the meantime, you can blast off to enjoy cosmic wonders at BitStarz with CritterPop slot from AvatarUX.

Is there a fault in these stars?

Like all Avatar UX slots, the gameplay revolves around the slot provider’s PopWins feature. How this works is with each winning combination, the symbols involved will be removed and replaced with two more increasing the height of those reels and giving you another chance to win off the same spin. In the base game, the reels can expand to six symbols high, and the reels are reset at the end of each spin. During free spins, they can expand to eight symbols high, and the reels are reset to the height of the shortest reel at the end of each spin.

With the appearance of three or more scatter symbols, you’ll trigger a round of free spins. The number of scatter symbols you use to unlock the round of free spins determines how many starting ways to win you will receive.

• 3 scatters – 2,048 starting ways to win
• 4 scatters – 6,250 starting ways to win
• 5 scatters – 15,552 starting ways to win

Before you start playing your round of free spins, you will first get to spin the Rewards Reels. This one-spin bonus game will give you the chance to supercharge your round of free spins.

Rewards Reels explained:

• Starting free spins: +1, +2 or +3
• Starting multiplier: x1, 2x or 3x
• Multiplier growth: +1x or +2x
• High symbol multiplier: 1x, 2x, or 3x
• Mega symbols (2×2) activated or not activated
• Giga symbols (3×3) activated or not activated
• Random wild activated or not activated

When you start your round of free spins, the global multiplier will increase by 1x (unless you unlocked more on the Rewards Reels) with each PopWin. Additionally, if you manage to fully expand all five reels, you will receive a +2x multiplier growth and two additional free spins.

If you’re not keen on waiting around for the stars to align, you can also select to buy a round of free spins.

Is CritterPop slot a house cat or a feral beast?

A few weeks ago, I said that Zombie aPOPalypse was my favorite AvatarUX slot to date. Well, it hasn’t taken long for the slot provider to release a new personal best.

CritterPop slot is great. The graphics are really stunning. And it’s not just the big stuff either. Each and every element of the slot is crafted to ensure that everything fits into the theme. The animations, even the small animations in the slot’s background, are equally great. The slot also offers some interesting bonus features that really add to the gameplay.

CritterPop slot does get stuck with high volatility which means you’ll be waiting longer than you’d like between wins. However, with the bonus buy feature the slot ensures that you don’t get bored even during dry spells. This is reinforced by a healthy 96.131% RTP that promises some solid returns. Plus, thanks to a 20,000x max multiplier you’ll be able to chase some impressive wins even when you’re betting at the €0.20 a spin minimum. All in all, I recommend you give CritterPop slot a try.

If you’re looking for a few other AvatarUX slots, I recommend giving Zombie aPOPalypse and BountyPOP a try.
