JinglePop Slot Review
One of my kids asked me the other day why I hate𤏠pop music. I said pop is manufactured, cynical, uncreative, ear-wormy junk. Itâs an affront to the very thing music is supposed to be.
They obviously argued that it means popular music. And I had to concede that it means that toođ.
Then she asked, âWhy if it's popular, does it make it bad? A band like Nirvana is insanely popular, even today.â
As you've seen lately, Nirvana t-shirts are a must-have wardrobe item for kids these days.
I had to think đ¤ for a moment, then I said, âDo you think you could walk into any department store, a Target or Walmart, and you would hear any song from Nirvana being played?â
She didnât have to think about it; she scoffed and said, âOf course not.â
Pop music is music you can shop tođ. Which makes absolute sense. Music as a product to be consumed while buying more products. Consumerism!
JinglePop manages to merge jingle, as in advertising music, and pop, popular music into something I do not hate.
Gameplay
JinglePop slotâs game grid is set on a window of a cozy-looking room during Christmas time.
The game initially starts with 5 reels and 3 rows, but can expand to contain up to 6 symbols in the base game and up to 8 in Free Spins.
The cause of this reel expanding and subsequently increasing the number of win ways up to 65,536 ways is the PopWins mechanic.
Each winning symbol pops and is replaced by 2 new symbols, increasing the reel height. This repeats as long as new wins are created. The reel height is reset on the next spin.
High-paying symbols include Santa, a stocking, a gift box, a candy cane, a bauble, and a wreath.
This slot has an RTP of 96% and is rated as having high volatility.
You can play with any fiat or crypto currency you would like, with the exception of Bitcoin Cash. Bets open at $0.20 and close at $10.
The most you can win here is $200,000, which means the highest possible multiplier is 20,000x.
Features
WILD
The Wild is a red bauble with Wild written on it at the center of a wreath, and it only appears during Free Spins.
It can substitute for all symbols, but not the Scatter.
SCATTER
The Scatter is a snow globe with the word Bonus across it. You need to land 3 or more to trigger Free Spins.
REWARD REELS
Before starting a Free Spins round, youâre taken to a different set of reels with a 5-4-4-4-4 configuration called the Reward Reels.
Along the side of the reels is a list of possible rewards you can win that will determine the round of Free Spins youâre about to play.
Each position on the reels spins independently and can reward one of the following or nothing.
- +1, +2, or +3 Starting Free Spins symbol.
- x1, x2, or x3 Starting Multiplier symbol:
- x1, or x2 Multiplier Growth symbol
- Random 2x2 Mega symbol
- Random 3x3 Giga symbol
- Random Wilds symbol
- 1x, 2x, or 3x High Symbol Value Multiplier symbol.
FREE SPINS
There are 3 Free Spins modes that are determined by the number of Scatter symbols that trigger the feature.
- 3 Scatter symbols Free Spins start with 2,048 win ways.
- 4 Scatter symbols Free Spins start with 6,250 win ways.
- 5 Scatter symbols Free Spins start with 15,552 win ways.
Once the Rewards Reels have done their thing, you start the Free Spins feature.
At the start of Free Spins, there is a 1x win multiplier that is applied to every win.
Consecutive wins and symbol pops increase the win multiplier by 1x after the wins are paid.
Fully unlocking a reel in Free Spins awards a 2x multiplier and 2 additional Free Spins.
BUY BONUS
There are 3 Buy Bonus options available to skip the base game and trigger Free Spins.
- Buy Bonus = 2,048 ways for 125x your base bet.
- Buy Bonus Plus = 6,250 ways for 250x your base bet.
- Buy Bonus Max = 15,552 ways for 500x your base bet.
ANTE BET
You can double your chances of entering Free Spins for an additional 0.25x of your base bet.
Performance
I tested JinglePop slot on a number of browsers on my Windows laptop and Android phone and didnât encounter any issues at all.
Maximum Win
You can be as little as $0.20 and as much as $10 per spin. The gameâs top multiplier is 20,000x, which is how we get to the gameâs prize limit of $200,000.
Conclusion
JinglePop slot is a cute game with an interesting PopWin mechanic that makes winning symbols disappear and are then replaced by 2 random symbols, which can lead to new wins.
This mechanic also increases the height of the reels by 6 symbols in the base game and 8 symbols in Free Spins. The number of winning ways also increases.
Reward Reels spin and land on modifiers that can give you a distinct advantage right away, plus determining the number of Free Spins.
There are also 3 Free Spin modes, with increasing win ways, which can also be purchased outright using the Buy Bonus feature.
The main prize is a respectable $200,000, and thatâs enough reason for me to suggest this title, but I will say it does feel wholesome playing this cartoon Christmas-themed slot even well after New Yearâs Day.
