Witchy POPins Slot Review

The most cursed food I’ve ever seen was at a barbecue at one of my friends’ houses.

His wife made what I can only describe as the most watery potato salad I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

She didn’t peel and cook the potatoes herself. No, no. That would be such a waste of time.

She used canned diced potatoes🥫! I didn’t even know you could buy potatoes in a tin!

The spuds come in a kind of potato liquid, which she didn’t even drain. She just slopped the cooked potatoes and their tin juice into a bowl🥣, then emptied a whole tub of the worst-tasting mayonnaise into it.

I assume the mayonnaise came out of a tub. They wouldn’t sell the vingary white gloop in anything more than a plastic container that was destined for some hell hole of a restaurant.

It goes without saying that no one even gave her cold, no-cook potato soup a try. She ended up eating most of it, insisting that it was good. You could smell that it was an abomination🤢.

It looked like something one of the witches in Witchy POPins slot from AvatarUX might cook up in a cauldron.

And you’d expect to see an eyeball float up and look at you angrily before sinking back into its white, watery depths.

Gameplay

Witchy POPins slot has up to 32,768 ways to win. You start the game with 5 reels and 3 rows. Winning combinations are created by landing 3 or more matching symbols from left to right anywhere on adjacent reels.

When you hit a win, the winning symbols pop and are replaced by 2 symbols, increasing the height of the reels. This repeats as long as new wins are created and the reels can expand to 6 rows.

If a reel reaches its maximum height and there are still winning combinations on the reels, the symbols still pop but are only replaced by one symbol each.

There are 6 higher-paying symbols that are all witchy characters.

This slot is set as a high-volatility game with an RTP of 96%. You can play with any fiat or crypto currency, with the exception of BitCoin Cash.

Bets start at €0.20 and close at €10. But the biggest multiplier you can hit is a massive 20,000x your current bet, so it can lead to the game’s maximum payout of €200,000.

Features

WILD

The Wild is a eyeball-covered cauldron that appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 during the base game and Free Spins.

It substitutes for any symbols except for the Bonus symbol and Multiplier symbols.

SCATTER

The Scatter symbol here is a jack-o-lantern with BONUS across it. You need to land at least 3 to trigger Free Spins.

  • 3 Scatter symbols: 5-7 Free Spins
  • 4 Scatter symbols: 6-8 Free Spins
  • 5 Scatter symbols: 7-9 Free Spins

The grid will also expand to 4, 5, or 6 rows in height, respectively.

If you manage to expand the reels to the maximum of 8 rows, you’re instantly rewarded with 2 additional Free Spins.

MULTIPLIER SYMBOLS

There are two Multipliers that only appear during the Free Spins round.

During Free Spins, random Multiplicative Multiplier symbols that range from 2x to 5x, 7x, 10x, and 11x can appear on the reels.

These symbols will multiply the global multiplier, but only when a win is formed on the same spin it lands on.

The second Multiplier is the Additive Multiplier symbol. These symbols add their value to the global multiplier and can range from +5 to +20.

NUDGE

One or more reels may be nudged randomly up or down to possibly improve a win or trigger Free Spins.

FREE SPINS

Before Free Spins start, one of the high-paying symbols is selected and will pay out anywhere as long as 5 or more appear anywhere on the reels.

When you start your Free Spins round, the overall multiplier displayed on the side of the reels is 1x.

Every winning combination is multiplied by the overall multiplier value, which increases by 1x for the next winning combination.

BUY BONUS

The Buy Bonus gives you a couple of options to skip the base game and get straight into the Free Spins round.

  • Buy Bonus: 5-7 Free Spins, 1,024 ways to win, 2x to 5x Multiplicative Multipliers, and +5 to +20 Additive Multipliers for 125x your current bet.
  • Buy Bonus Plus: 6-8 Free Spins, 3,125 ways to win, 2x to 7x Multiplicative Multipliers and +10 to +40 Additive Multipliers for 250x your current bet.
  • Buy Bonus Premium: 7-9 Free Spins, 7,776 ways to win, 2x to 10x Multiplicative Multipliers and +20 to +50 Additive Multipliers for 500x your current bet.
  • Buy Bonus Max: 8-10 Free Spins with 7,776 ways to win, 2x to 11x Multiplicative Multipliers and +30 to +50 Additive Multipliers for 1,000x your current bet.

Performance

This slot played perfectly on my Windows laptop and Android phone.

Maximum Win

The minimum bet is €0.20, and the maximum is €10. A top payout of €200,000 is possible if you get the largest possible multiplier of 20,000x.

Conclusion

Witchy POPins slot was a surprise to me. I didn’t expect to enjoy the artwork and design as much as I did.

The game has a handy Nudge feature that triggers randomly and can help create wins or trigger a round of Free Spins.

The Pop Wins mechanic is a cool feature where a winning symbol pops, disappears, and is replaced by two random symbols, increasing the size of the reel and the number of ways to win.

The aim here is to get into the Free Spins round, where the overall multiplier comes into play and increases by 1x for every winning combination you land.

Before you start Free Spins, though, one of the high-paying symbols is randomly selected and will payout anywhere as long as more than 5 land on the reels.

There are also two Multiplier symbols that appear on the reels during Free Spins.

The Multiplicative Multiplier multiplies the overall win multiplier value, and the Additive Multiplier gets added to the overall win multiplier value.

I suspect the biggest draw card here is the Buy Bonus option. You can choose how many spins, the starting number of ways to win, and boost the Multipliers values, but at a cost.

This is definitely a keeper for the spooky season. And it might even have a life beyond Halloween. Especially if, like me, you’re into girls who wear dark eye make-up and look like they could put a spell on you.
