Layout
The starting interface features 5 reels with 4 rows of symbols and 1024 ways to activate a win. It is possible to bet from $0.40 to $10 per spin and the activated Super Stake feature will double this bet in exchange for a notable advantage during the bonus. The advertised volatility of Joker Drop PopWins is high and the Rap is 96.01%.
As for the symbols, it’s quite classic, the 7 appears as a high-paying symbol as well as the watermelon, the grape, orange, plum, pear, lemon and cherry. The weak symbols will be represented by the A, K, Q, J and 10, nothing surprising there.
Features
Pop Wins
Since wins pay on both sides, left and right, there are 2048 ways to activate a win and the PopWins mechanism will increase the possibilities to a maximum of 16807. The way it works is quite simple to understand, when a winning combination is created, the winning symbols are replaced by two new ones, which will increase the size of the reels and at the same time the grid, which has a maximum of 7 rows.
Free Spins
You can access the free spins when all the reels reach 7 rows high thanks to consecutive wins. It is also possible to buy access to the bonus with the Buy Bonus feature which is 120x the bet. The free spins start with a 7 row grid and a 3x bet win multiplier that increases with each win.
Gamble Drop
By activating the Free Spins, it is possible to bet the free spins to get up to 15. To do this, the player will have to bet in a Pachinko game by choosing the location of the ball to drop in a slot. Start with 5 Free Spins and work your way up.
Diamond & Coin Meter
The diamond and coin gauges on the left side of the screen can be topped up by collecting diamond and coin symbols. The special symbols appear randomly on the reels and when the gauge is full, you’ll either get 5 Random Wilds symbols spread across the reels or 5 Coin Symbols that reveal instant prizes on a mini reel.
Super Stake
The Super Stake feature offers a player advantage of letting Scatter symbols appear during Free Spins so that it is possible to re-trigger the bonus and get 5 extra free spins when 3 Scatters appear on the screen. By activating the Super Stake feature, the player doubles the bet on each spin.
Overall
The first surprise that Joker Drop PopWins has to offer is its PopWins mechanism borrowed from the Avatar UX studio, this allows for rows of 7 symbols on all reels and access to free spins with a progressive multiplier in an original way. The Gamble Drop is a pretty good option for High Roller players, but after multiple unsuccessful attempts that resulted in the loss of all collected Free Spins, we would recommend caution. Overall, players looking for a classic Las Vegas-like gaming experience can find it in Stakelogic’s Joker Drop PopWins, with prizes going up to 20472x the maximum bet, enough to motivate you to at least try the free demo version of this game.
