This slot is part of the popular Pop series, which has multiple instalments now. Including ‘PiggyPop‘, ‘Lollipop‘ and ‘MonkeyPop‘ as some examples. This latest addition uses a Galactic theme , with a detailed game background filled with different planets and colourful stars. Symbols are represented by creatures such as frogs, Mammoths and Lions with a unique art style. Overall the visuals are unique and well detailed with vibrant colours.
Critter Pop has a setup of 5 reels by 3 to 7 rows; this includes 65,536 pay lines. This slot is high variance with a set RTP of 96% and a max win capped at 20,000x. You can bet from £0.20 to £100.
Critter Pop Pay Table & Symbols
There are 13 symbols in total; this includes 5 low-paying symbols. These are represented by 10, J, Q, K and A. There are also 6 premium symbols; these are represented by Frogs, Owls, Birds, Foxes, Lions and Mammoths. In addition to these regular symbols is a Bonus Scatter and Wild Symbol. The highest paying symbol is the Mammoth Premium, which pays 6x for 5 across a pay line. Wilds substitute for all symbols except the Bonus Scatter.
Each symbol part of a winning combination will Pop and be replaced by 2 symbols. This will increase the reel height. This process is repeated as long as winning combinations occur. The reel height can be expanded to 6 symbols tall in the base game and 8 symbols in the Free Spins feature. The reel height is reset during base game spins.
