From tomorrow the October 6th, visionary games studio, AvatarUX a Yggdrasil Masters Partner will be delivering CherryPop™ to operators. After the success of PopRocks™ and WildPops™, CherryPop™ is the third installment in the PopWins™ series and launches some new exciting features, making CherryPop™ a perfect slot for gaining mass-market traction.
CherryPop™ is an 80’s style fruit machine slot, with a burning neon pink frame, encasing a colourful 5 x 3 reelscape that has the power to expand to help players hit potentially huge wins.
CherryPop™has an impressive 13 symbols, featuring A, Q, 9, A, K, Grapes, Melons, Oranges, Horseshoes, Clovers, Bells, Diamonds, and Cherries – giving it that authentic arcade fruity feeling. Five Cherries payout x15 a player’s bet – but the real payout power is found within the powerful bonus features.
Nevertheless, with a betting level from €0.20 to €40.00, respectable RTP of 96.14%, and a base game hit rate of 22% – CherryPop™is well-positioned to offer good value, to a diverse range of gamers. Like the other slots in the series, CherryPop™does have its fair share of volatility – but that adds to the excitement of playing a game that has the vibe of an electric 80’s video slot.
”With CherryPop™ we have stopped at nothing to make this game our best yet from our PopWins™ series by adding additional engaging features for customers. New features include an interactive free spin ‘gamble’ video wheel and a buy bonus feature.” – Marcus Honney – Managing Director AvatarUX
As the third release from AvatarUX in PopWins™ series of games (following PopRocks™ and WildPops™), CherryPop™slot is loaded with the same key features seen previously – enhanced with some exciting new bonus concepts.
Fundamentally, the famous PopWins™ Feature remains fully intact – meaning that after every winning spin, the PopWins™ feature erases the symbols and replaces them with two new symbols, forcing the reels to expand up to six rows high!
Hitting the high notes of six rows, automatically triggers the Free Spins, with five bonus rounds awarded. Intriguingly, players can choose to spin the Gamble Wheel, to shoot for up to 15 free spins – or bust!
As for the bonus spins themselves, they start spinning with a x2 Win Multiplier and boost by +1 after each PopWin. Sustained success in the bonus can see the reels expand to nine rows, increasing the multiplier by another +3; each subsequent PopWin boosts the multiplier by another +4! If a player taps-in to a really lucky run, they can spin on a slotscape that has a huge 59,049 ways to win!
One new feature of CherryPop™ is the Bonus Buy, which lets players buy the bonus for x75 their stake.
The bonus features having the potential to send wins soaring as high as 56,386x – meaning wins from €11,277.2 on the minimum bet, all the way to a theoretical big win of €2,255,440 on the maximum spin.

Procedure to be followed by school clubs affiliating for the 2025 season
