Lock and Pop

As gameplay, it chooses a Collection bonus, which we don’t really encounter often on NetEnt slots. That is also immediately the only thing the game has to offer. You can win moderately, as the maximum win is only 4,046 times your bet. But for a medium-low volatile slot, that’s a normal value.

Furthermore, the game has an average payout percentage of 96.09%. We hope that the slot still manages to surprise us. You can read how Lock and Pop came out of the test in this slot review.

Get lost in a modern themeless slot machine from NetEnt by collecting prize symbols in Lock and Pop.

How to Play Lock and Pop?

The total playing area of Lock and Pop is 5 reels wide and 5 rows high. However, you only play on the middle three rows which incorporate 20 fixed paylines. As a bet you choose a value between $0.20 and $120 per spin. You adjust this with the plus and minus buttons or by clicking on the value.

You play the basic game like any typical slot machine. The goal is to collect the same symbol three, four or five times on one of the paylines. These must connect and start on the far left reel. This way you earn up to 2 times your bet with the card symbols or up to 7.50 times your bet with the premium symbols.

Bonus features of Lock and Pop

The addition of extra features does not make the basic game more exciting. On the contrary, special prize symbols often block your paylines. So you play almost exclusively for the bonus game. Those who want can also buy this off thanks to Lock and Pop’s Feature Buy.

Wild Symbol

During spins, you will encounter a Wild symbol or rather a stack of Wilds fairly regularly. These replace all symbols except the prize symbol.

Free Spins Bonus

Prize Symbols appear with a value of 0.5x to 1,000x, but that doesn’t matter in the base game. Only if you can collect 6 or more during the same spin does Lock and Pop become interesting. Then you trigger the bonus round with 7 Free Spins. So unlike many collectible bonuses, it does not continue as long as you spin new symbols.

With each spin you hope to collect new prize symbols. And preferably to fill all three rows of the reels. In that case, you will get a random bonus feature on the fifth row at the bottom of your screen. After this triggers, you may add up the prizes and they will appear on the top row.
