Developer Avatar UX clearly has a ‘never change a winning team’ mentality to contend with. Their PopWins mechanism works so well in online casinos, in fact, that there were already 10 slots with this mechanism in their portfolio. And with RagingPop, an eleventh title is added. In RagingPop we travel to the savannah in Africa.

Theme & Grid Specifics
Previously, we went to Africa with the MonkeyPop slot machine. RgingPop does the same, but to the savannah. The background of RagingPop has everything you would expect on the savannah. There is a stream, a few acacia trees, a beautiful view of the mountains in the distance and large plains full of grass. The perfect place for many animals. But then again, those animals are not to be found in this beautiful landscape in the background.
The playing field, on the other hand, is full of animals. The game starts with 6 reels and 4 rows of symbols, but this can grow to a maximum of 7 rows high. The number of winning ways starts at 8,196, but can be increased to a whopping 235,298.
RagingPop vs. 3 other slots featuring the PopWins mechanism
RagingPop has a nice high payout percentage of 96.34%.
You can bet in an online casino from $0.20 per spin up to $40 per spin and the slot has a high variance.
In addition, there is a chance that you can win the maximum win of 20,000 times your stake.

Features
The most important feature in RagingPop is of course the PopWins mechanism. In addition, however, the slot has a Raging Rhino feature, a free spins round with wild symbols and a Bonus Buy option.
Wild symbols
The wild symbols can land anywhere on the playing field and replace any regular symbol. In this way, the wild symbols help create winning combinations. Unfortunately, the wild symbols in RagingPop only appear during the free spins round.
PopWins mechanism
Like the wild symbols, the PopWins mechanism in RagingPop is only active during the free spins round. The mechanism works a bit like the Cascades feature we see more often, but there are a few differences. On a winning spin during the free spins round, the winning symbols are removed.
Then, on each empty spot, 2 new symbols are added. This therefore makes the playing field larger and also gives you more ways to win. With a new win, the process is repeated and you therefore get even more symbols on the playing field.
Thanks to the PopWins, after every cascade the reels go bigger.
Raging Rhino feature
The Raging Rhino feature can be activated at any time and is also active during the basic game. When the feature becomes active, the reels all get 5, 6 or 7 symbols. You also get a random multiplier of up to x500. The prizes can increase significantly as a result.
Bonus Buy feature
Through the Bonus Buy feature you can force access to the free spins function. There are two options when you choose the Bonus Buy feature.
100x your bet you get 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters on your next spin.
500x your bet you get 30 free spins immediately.
RagingPop free spins
The free spins round starts when you land 3 or more scatters on the playing field. The number of free spins you get depends on the number of scatters.
3 scatters give you 10 free spins
4 scatters will give you 15 free spins
5 scatters will give you 20 free spins
6 scatters will give you 30 free spins
Before the round starts you can still choose the Gamble Wheel option. Here you can win more free spins, but you can also lose your free spins again. The free spins round starts with a playfield of 4 rows high. However, this can grow even more due to the Raging Rhino feature and the PopWins mechanism. In addition, for every 10 free spins you also get an extra row to your playfield.
Our Verdict
We’ve seen slots with an African theme before and we’ve seen slots with the PopWins mechanism before. But a slot machine with both of those things wasn’t around yet.
So with this, Avatar UX has created a new experience that is definitely worth giving a try. The features of RagingPop make for a fun and varied game, even if it is a shame that most of them only become active during the bonus round.
All in all, we are quite enthusiastic about RagingPop, even though the base game could have been a bit more exciting.
FAQs
Thanks to the high volatility and RTP above average, the slot will often deliver smaller prizes and big prizes will occur rather rarely.
Yes, there is. Activated with 3 or more Scatters, the Free Spins round features the PopWins mechanism and the Raging Rhino bonus feature.
During the bonus, every cascade that occurs will then make the reels bigger and will increase the paylines.
When the Raging Rhino feature is active (only in the Free Spins round) random multipliers of up to 500x will land and some of the reels will get bigger.
No, there are no Jackpot prizes in RagingPop. However, the slot delivers quite some possibilities for big winnings.
