Theme & Design

The theme in Bounty Pop is based loosely on pirates however it is many miles away from the Pirates of the Caribbean. The buccaneers are modern and minimalistic to look at and in true Yggdrasil style the slot looks stunning. There is also a fitting orchestral soundtrack that serenades the spins. The music would be at home in an adventure movie and complements the visuals that would fit right in at an adventure movie. Whilst the game play and design are unusual, they work incredibly well.

Whilst this does not sound that much, the game mechanic in use does mean that you can land big clusters of matching symbols with the opportunity for good pay outs too.

Bonus Features

When it comes to the bonus features the PopWins is central to the action, and the expanding reels can add extra symbols and ways to win whilst also bring Mystery Multipliers into play. There is also a free spin feature and a demo feature all of we can look at now. The first feature is the PopWins feature which is the engine that powers the slot features, when you land a winning combination the winning symbols explode, and others fall in to replace them. Better still is an extra symbol gets added to the row where the winning symbols appear. These extra symbols increase the number of ways you can win, in the base game each reel can reach up to six reels high, which can give you up to 7,776 ways to win on each base game spin.

Next is the free spins feature, which is activated by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters on the same spin, and you will then go on to play with 6, 9 or 12 free spins. You then use the gamble wheel to win more additional free spins. In the free spins the reels can reach up to 9 symbols high as opposed to 6 in the base game. The configuration for the reels during the free spins is random and this means that there is up to 59,049 ways to win on every free spin. The reels do not fully reset following a Pop that does not produce a win during the free spins either. Instead, they drop to the lowest current reel height.

When all the five reels reach the maximum height if 6 symbols high in the base game you can activate the Mystery Wheel Multipliers feature or a predetermined number of free spins. The wheel is created using two rings that offer the following potential multiplier boosts. If you land an arrow, you will go onto the inner ring where the prizes get bigger and multipliers apply to the wins from the entire round, and you can expect to win the following. First comes the base wheel where you can trigger all reels to the height of 6 symbols, the outer ring prizes offered as the arrow, 2 -3x and 5x multipliers and the inner ring prizes of 3-5x and 10x. Next is the bronze wheel where you can trigger all reels to the height of 7 symbols, the outer ring prizes offered as the arrow, 2 -3x and 5x multipliers and the inner ring prizes of 3-5x and 10x.
