TikiPop Review
The developers might have considered a more familiar theme for their first PopWin mechanic releases. TikiPop is visually more appealing than earlier games in this series, even though the Polynesian island theme is a common choice. The gameplay still revolves around popping those wins and adding rows to the grid as you progress.
As noted in past reviews, the game's pace still feels somewhat off. There's a noticeable pause after winning symbols disappear, and filling the empty positions individually takes too long. The bonus round can provide exciting moments, similar to previous games, but it's questionable how long the series can continue with only slight feature adjustments.
TikiPop slot Features
The PopWins mechanic is central to this game, and series fans will already be familiar with it. Each winning combination "pops," creating two new symbol positions where only one existed before. This also increases the reel set size, allowing you to add up to two extra rows per reel in the base game.
If you manage to expand all five reels to the maximum of five rows, your total winnings will receive a 2x multiplier boost. The win ways increase from 468 to 6,250 in the base game, thanks to the win-both-ways setup.
You trigger the bonus round by landing at least three scatters on the same spin, and receive 7, 11, or 15 free spins for landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters, respectively. You can gamble to win more spins before the feature begins, with a 50/50 chance of upgrading your bonus round to the next tier. Losing sends you back to the base game.
You will begin with a random reel configuration, with the least expanded being 4-3-3-3-4, going up to a fully expanded base game grid of 5x5. You can add two extra rows in the bonus round. This gives you a progressive multiplier that increases by +1 for every PopWin, with no upper limit.
Instead of resetting, the bonus round reels decrease to the shortest reel size achieved. If you expand all reels to the maximum of seven rows, that grid size remains for the bonus round's duration. This provides 33,614 win ways, the most in this game.
You get 2 to 4 extra spins for fully expanding a reel. Expanding all reels to the max increases the progressive multiplier by +2 per PopWin, instead of +1.
The 200 Spins TikiPop slot Experience
I gambled and got 15 free spins. The bonus round proved lucrative, with larger wins accumulating toward the end, resulting in a solid total win.
Review Summary
If you already enjoy the PopWins series, you'll likely enjoy TikiPop. Visually, the game is improved, with clearer symbols. The Polynesian theme features bright colors, and the PopWins mechanic remains effective.
However, there's not enough new content to sway those who are undecided. Reaching the multiplier plateau with a full-size grid leads to interesting results with the +2 increasing multiplier. The 32,000x potential might be slightly lower than previous titles but still exceeds most games' maximum win.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| PopWins mechanic with 2x base game boost when grid is fully expanded | Does very little to bring the series forward |
| Bonus round with unlimited progressive multiplier and up to 33,614 win ways | The pace of the game is still a bit too slow |
| High volatility action with a solid 32,000x max win potential |
