AvatarUX set for magical adventure in PixiePop™
Award-winning slots studio AvatarUX is journeying to an enchanted wonderland in latest launch PixiePop™.
Featuring the ever-popular PopWins™ mechanic that has become a staple of AvatarUX’s content, every spin will increase reel height, while more symbols fall from above. In base play, the reels can reach up to six symbols tall, offering significantly boosted paylines.
The PopWins™ mechanic is complemented by a number of a features that guarantee a thrilling new play experience and some truly magical wins. For instance, with every spin there is a chance for an enchanted nudge to occur, which can move a reel up or down in search of a winning combination, or even reveal a bonus symbol.
Three or more scatter symbols will launch the free spins, where random multipliers appear for enhanced win potential. Multiplicative multipliers can go up to x11, while the additive multipliers can apply to every win up to +50x.
PixiePop™ also features for the very first time a new ‘Pay Anywhere Symbol’, which is set to create better win opportunities in the bonus game. Before the mode starts, one high paying symbol is awarded as a pay anywhere icon, which will payout if five or more land on different reels, regardless of if they connect, as players search for a max win of 20,000x.
To add to the rich features list, PixiePop™ also sees a new wild symbol being introduced. This can appear in both the base and the bonus game and substitutes for any symbol.
The recently launched XPRESS option is also available in certain jurisdictions and players can progress directly to free spins as well as activate any of the key features via one of four Buy Bonus options.
It is the latest game released by AvatarUX, which continues to go from strength to strength with a portfolio of innovative mechanics.
The game is initially available exclusively to AvatarUX’s partners with direct integrations and will be rolled out globally later.
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “PixiePop™ offers a magical journey through an enchanted wilderness as players search for huge wins, while enjoying the latest iteration of the PopWins™ mechanic.
“We strive to create engaging, immersive titles that build off familiar mechanics while adding new twists and this is another great example.”

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona
The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”
January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
