Game Overview
Another December day, another handful of Christmas-themed slots are released. Would we want anything else, though? Admittedly, I jest at having to write about the same theme repeatedly, but secretly, I love this time of year. For one, I actually allow myself some time off. For two, I get to see family and friends for the first time in ages, and finally, I get to enjoy more time on Xmas slots such as JinglePop from AvatarUX. This slot once again offers the innovative PopWins™ mechanic, which can create up to 65,536 ways to win, Pays Both Ways, a max win of 20,000x the stake, and a 96.14% RTP.
Accompanying those mechanics is a bonus round which, once triggered, gives you free spins on reels offering between a base 2,048 and 15,552 ways to win. Furthermore, you can receive free spin modifiers such as Mega and Giga symbols, wild symbols, additional free spins, and an increased base multiplier via a spin of the Rewards Reels.
All the above features are wrapped up in a traditional Christmas theme. There’s Santa, Snow, Gifts, Decorations and Snowglobes across the reels and the game’s background making it a festive delight for all who choose to play. Does it sound like a fun Xmas slot you’d like to try? Then, we have the free Jingle Pop slot demo directly below!
Jinglepop Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The claim to fame for AvatarUX is its innovative PopWins™ mechanic, used in most of the slots released by the up-and-coming developer, and it is now getting up there with the Megaways mechanic regarding how many paylines it can create. After every winning combination, each winning symbol will ‘Pop’ to create two new symbols and increase the size of the reels. If that is a reel mechanic that sounds interesting to you, once you’re done with JinglePop, check out AvatarUX’s WitchyPoppins, HipHopPop, and Zombie aPOPalypse for more fun slot games featuring the PopWins engine.
Next, we’re moving over to the paytable, and the reels of AvatarUX’s JinglePop feature 12 regular-paying symbols broken down into low and high-paying symbols. The high pays are the Christmas-related symbols, with Santa topping the lot with payouts of 6x, the bet for a winning combo of five. The Christmas Stocking, Christmas Present, Stick of Candy, Bauble, and Wreath all follow, offering returns of 5x, 4x, 3x, 2x, and 2x, respectively, for a completed line of five. The low pays are the traditional online slot playing card symbols, with the Ace, King, and Queen all paying 1.5x, whilst the Jack and Ten both return 1x bet for a winning line of five.
Whether you play the JinglePop demo or the real money version at an online casino, you can choose from bet sizes ranging from a minimum of €0.20 up to a maximum of €100.00 per spin.
Jinglepop Slot Base Game
When you spin the reels on JinglePop, you start with a 5×3 reel configuration that offers 486 ways to win. However, as mentioned, that PopWins mechanic can quickly increase the ways to win to as many as 65,536 once the wins start rolling in. Another key player regarding increasing the ways-to-win is the Pays Both Ways mechanic, which the slot utilises. That means you can line up winning combinations from left to right and right to left. You need three or more match symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the first or last reel and moving right or left, respectively.
Popwins
All winning symbols will pop and split into two new symbols, increasing the reels’ size and the number of available ways to win. If the new symbols create additional winning combinations, the process continues. It is possible to increase the reels up to six rows in height during the base. You receive two free spins if you unlock all positions on all reels on a single spin.
Ante Bet
For a cost of 25% on top of your spin bet, you can spin with double the chance of triggering the free spins bonus. You need to activate this feature via the switch to the left of the reels.
Jinglepop Slot Bonus Features
Triggering the free spins bonus will always be the main aim of the JinglePop slot, and doing so involves landing three or more scatter symbols in any position on the same spin.
Reward Reels
Before the free spins bonus starts, you receive a spin on the Rewards Reel. This reel can give you modifiers that carry over into the free spins bonus. You can win:
- Additional starting free spins: This boosts your starting free spins by +3, +2, or +1.
- Increased starting multiplier: This boosts your starting multiplier by 3x, 2x, or 1x.
- Multiplier Growth Rate: This increases the multiplier growth rate by +x2 or +x1.
- Mega Symbols: Symbols that are 2×2 in size can land on the reels.
- Giga Symbols: Symbols that are 3×3 in size can land on the reels.
- Wild Symbols: Wild symbols can appear and substitute for all regular paying symbols.
- High Symbol Multiplier: This increases the win multiplier of all high symbols by 1x, 2x, or 3x.
Free Spins
The number of scatter symbols that trigger the free spins bonus determines how many starting ways you have for the free spins bonus. Three triggering scatters give you 2,048 ways to win, while four and five award you 6,250 and 15,552, respectively. As standard, you’re given 5 free spins with a 1x multiplier, although those can increase via the Reward Reels spins. During this feature, you receive an additional 2 free spins and a +2 win multiplier for each entire reel unlock. Furthermore, each consecutive PopWin increases a global win multiplier by a minimum of +1. That multiplier will not reset between free spins.
Bonus Buy
You also have the option of purchasing the free spins via the buy bonus option. The 2,028 ways to win variations cost 125x your stake, while the 6,250 and 15,552 cost 250x and 500x, respectively.
Pros
- The PopWins mechanic, what more is there to say?
- It's as Christmassy as you can get.
Cons
- Buying the bonuses is steeper than on most slots.
Jinglepop Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’ve been a fan of the PopWins mechanic from day one, so I already knew I’d enjoy myself playing JinglePop. It’s not just that mechanic that makes this slot; however, the free spins bonus offers a ton of fun and the potential to create massive payouts.
