The masters of Pop, AvatarUX, has used all kinds of themes for their poptastic slot releases over the years, whether Gems, Zombies, Piggies, Pixies, or Witches, but in the studio’s latest release, they’re going old school by giving JuicyPop a classic fruit machine look. Despite the retro look, however, this slot is as modern as it comes as it boasts the studio’s MultiPop mechanic, which ‘Pops’ the fruits and increases the multiplier values of positions on the reels. Intrigued? Then join me as I take you through what this 5×4 slot with up to 7,776 ways to win, a 96.01% RTP, and a 10,000x the stake maximum win has to offer.
As I touched upon, JuicyPop centres around the MultiPop mechanic, which first debuted in the studio’s Zombie aPOPalypse slot. Random positions on the reels are given a 2x win multiplier at the start of a spin, and positions involved in winning combinations have their multiplier increased by 1x. Upgrade those positions enough, and they could turn Golden, meaning future wins increase their multipliers by 5x. Furthermore, unlock 2x or more multipliers on all positions, and the Unlock Mode triggers to add wilds to the reels and increase multiplier increments to 2x for regular positions and 8x for those upgraded to gold. That popping action continues in a free spins bonus – although now the multipliers and everything else will not reset between spins.
Will this slot prove a juicy new addition to AvatarUX’s portfolio? The best way to answer that question is to try it yourself. You can play it for free using the JuicyPop slot demo below.

If you’re new to AvatarUX and enjoyed your time playing the demo, you might want to know if the developer has other slots that offer a lot of popping action. Well, you won’t be disappointed as I’d guestimate that 90% of the studio’s slots offer ‘Popping’ of some sort or another. Kitty Poppins is one of the developer’s most popular titles, and it offers 5x the winning potential of this one with a 50,000x the stake maximum win. CritterPop and HipHopPop are two others that received good scores in their reviews here at Demoslot.
Moving onto the symbol wins JuicyPop offers, we see that the fruits promise the best. The Lemon has a 1.5x stake return for five in a row, while the Cherries, Oranges, Blueberries, and Watermelons reward up to 1x. The Triple, Double, and Single Bar symbols have a top return of 0.5x, and the Ace, King, and Queen symbols reward up to 0.4x. Wild symbols hold no payout value but help create wins another way. They will substitute for any of the above symbols when winning combinations can be created.
To finsih off this section, we look at the staking options on JuicyPop. The minimum stake supported begins at €0.10 per spin which is sure to keep a smile on the face of all you low-rollers, whilst those with plenty of cash at their disposal can set the reels rolling up to a maximum of €100.00.
Base Game & Modifiers
At the start of every base game spin, there is a 5×4 reel configuration that offers 1,024 ways to win in play. Winning combinations are formed when three or more matching symbols appear on consecutive reels from left to right or from right to left.
Multipop Mechanic
The MultiPop mechanic is what can lead to increased ways to win on a spin. It works by enhancing positions on the reels with multipliers that increase as wins occur on a winning spin.
- Random Mutiplier Addition: At the start of each spin, random positions on the playing grid are given a 2x multiplier.
- Symbol Replacement and Multiplier Increases: Whenever winning combinations are formed, all symbols involved are removed. New symbols drop into the vacated positions, and all winning reel positions have their multiplier increased by 1x.
- Golden Multipliers: As the multipliers upgrade, reel positions can become golden. When that happens, the multipliers of those positions increase by 5x each time a win occurs on them.
The win multipliers on the reels will apply to the payouts of any winning combinations that occurred on top of them.
Unlock Mode
If all positions on the reels have a multiplier value of at least 2x, the slot’s Unlock Mode triggers. A random number of wild symbols are added to random positions, and as the spin progresses, the multiplier increment increase is now 2x or 8x for Golden Multipliers.
JuicyPop slot bonus features
The free spins bonus game triggers if three or more scatter symbols appear during a base game spin. You can collect the number of spins you receive or use the Gamble Wheel to attempt to win more.
Free Spins Feature
You’ll receive 9, 12, or 15 free spins in return for 3, 4, or 5 triggering scatter symbols. You have the option of using the Gamble Wheel to win up to 17 free spins, but losing will mean losing all the spins you previously received.
During free spins, the position multipliers and gold positions remain persistent until the end of the bonus. Furthermore, when you enter Unlock Mode, you receive an additional 2 free spins. The bonus is also played with the grid’s 6 reels fully unlocked, offering 7,776 ways to win.
Finally, Stars can randomly appear on positions on the reels during the bonus game, and they remain in place until the position is involved in a winning combination. When that happens, you receive an additional free spin.

Pros
- The MultiPop mechanic has the potential to produce some significant wins thanks to position multipliers and Golden positions.

Cons

- Some may have tired of the PopWins mechanic a long time ago.
JuicyPop Slot Review Final Thoughts
The MultiPop mechanic has played its part in many of AvatarUX’s most popular slots, but it feels flatter than usual in this one. That’s probably due to the lower volatility and smaller maximum win when compared to previous releases. The increasing multipliers and winning chain reactions on a spin can still help create some sizable wins, but it feels like the action is dumbed down a bit on JuicyPop. It may well appeal to those who are not fans of high-variance slots, but the rest will probably stick to some of the studio’s older titles.
