Arcanapop (AvatarUX) Slot Demo & Review

I’m not sure where I sit when it comes to fortune tellers. I tend to lean towards the opinion they’re just very good at making educated guesses or secretly gleaning information from you. That’s only because I find it quite scary if they really can look into your future. I’m not sure I’d want to know what awaits me – would you? Well, unless it was good news, such as I’m about to win a fortune playing the ArcanaPop video slot from AvatarUX. That kind of information is certainly welcome. ArcanaPop is another PopWins title with a fortune teller theme, up to 59,049 ways to win, a 96% RTP, and a solid max win of 20,000x the stake.

The ‘popping’ returns in this slot, meaning two new symbols drop into play for each one that forms part of a winning combination. How do they fit on the reels, I hear you ask? They don’t; to accommodate them, the reels expand up to 6 positions high in the base game and 9 in the free spins bonus. Speaking of that bonus game, there’s a global win multiplier that increases after every win, and if you gambled smartly before the bonus started, you could have additional features such as symbol upgrades and colossal symbols.

Will the moon and sun align for you on the ArcanaPop slot? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s by playing it. Before you go, though, why not get some practice in on the free play ArcanaPop slot demo below?

You’ve been missing out if you’re new to the PopWins series by AvatarUX, and there are plenty of other titles in this range that are well worth trying out courtesy of our free play slots range here at Demoslot. Whilst all of the PopWins are similar in many ways, as you’d expect, considering they use the same mechanic, they all have a few differences here and there, making them unique in their own kind of way. My top recommendations if you want to explore the niche further would be the excellent CritterPop and Zombie Apopalypse, which is a really fun take on the horror theme of online slot.

As we get back to ArcanaPop, I thought I’d address the payouts you can win from the reels before I start on the features. The top-paying symbol is the Jester, and you’ll receive 8x your stake when that symbol lines up five times across consecutive reels. The King comes next, returning 4x, and the Queen is worth up to 3.2x, while the Goat and Tower reward 2.8x and 2.4x, respectively. As for the medium pays, the Star will net you up to 2x, the Scales return a maximum of 1.8x, and the Globe returns up to 1.6x. Rounding off the paytable are the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, and Nine, which reward up to 1.4x, 1.2x, 1x, 0.8x, 0.6x, and 0.4x, respectively.

Before you spin the reels of the ArcanaPop slot, you need to select a bet size. The stake is selected via the Coins button, and you can choose from bets starting at a minimum of €0.20 before they finally max out at €100.00 per spin.


Arcanapop Slot Base Game & Modifiers

When you clap your eyes on the 5-reel and 3-row configuration of the ArcanaPop slot, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ll have 20, 30, or 50 paylines to find your payouts. If so, you’ve never played a PopWins slot before. The slot uses a ways-to-win mechanic, and you’re also paid in both directions – so you actually get 486 ways-to-win altogether. Winning combinations are created when you land three or more matching symbols starting from the first or fifth reels and moving inwards across consecutive reels. The 486 ways are as standard, too, but thanks to the PopWins mechanics, you could unlock up to 59,049 – more on that mechanic below.


Popwins

When winning combinations are created, the winning symbols pop and disappear. Each symbol is replaced by two more, and to accommodate the extra symbols, the reels they’re on will expand to a maximum of 6 symbols high.


Arcanapop Slot Bonus Features

Arcanapop Slot Free Spins Feature

The bonus round on AvatarUX’s ArcanaPop slot is triggered if you successfully expand all reels in the base game to six positions high


Gamble Wheel

Before the free spins bonus starts, you’re given the option of gambling your spins in return for winning additional spins and the potential of unlocking one of two or even both special features. You’ll spin a wheel that could increase your spins up to a maximum of ten and add the following special features that are active during the spins:

  • Colossal Symbols: This feature guarantees a random colossal paying symbol of 2×2 or 3×3 on every spin.
  • Symbol upgrade: This feature removes all instances of one low-value symbol from the reels and replaces them with a randomly selected high-paying symbol.

Just be aware that, as it’s a gamble feature, losing means you lose the free spins you already triggered. You’re not obliged to gamble; you can collect at any time.


Free Spins Feature

You’re given 6 free spins as standard, but that can increase using the gamble wheel above. During the bonus, the reels can now expand as high as 9 positions, and the progress of those expansions does not fully reset between spins. The reels all reduce to the size of the lowest reel at the start of a new spin.

At the start of the bonus, a win multiplier starts at 2x. It increases 1x for every consecutive PopWin on the reels. If you fully unlock all reels, that multiplier growth rate increases to 4x for every winning combination. Furthermore, occasionally, you’ll receive an additional free spin instead of a multiplier increase after a win.


Xpress Bonus Buy

You can use the following bonus buy options on the ArcanaPop slot:

  • 6 Free Spins Bonus with a Random Feature: 60x the current stake.
  • 6 Free Spins with Gamble Feature: 60x
  • 10 Free Spins with Symbol upgrade: 250x
  • 10 Free Spins with Colossal Symbols: 250x
  • 10 Free Spins with Both Special Features: 1,000x

Pros

  • Another well-presented slot from AvatarUX.
  • Good sized max win of 20,000x bet.

Cons

  • There’s nothing majorly different between this and some other PopWins slots.

Arcanapop Slot Review Final Thoughts

While it seems like AvatarUX is running out of new ideas for its superb PopWins mechanic, most of the slots are fantastic to play. ArcanaPop is another, which, while it doesn't offer anything new, still offers highly enjoyable and equally lucrative gameplay.
