Idol Pop Fever Free Play in Demo Mode

Idol Pop Fever review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Pragmatic Play has only gone and created another chart-topping experience. This time, it's in the form of the Idol Pop Fever slot game. This earworm of a slot game is set at a pop concert, and the 5x5 grid takes center stage. The background animations are excellent, with excited fans waving their hands, and shimmering lights adorning the stage.

And while the backing track might not exactly be the next number one smash hit on the charts, it does a good job of building the tension as the symbols land on the reels. In fact, it's the exact type of music you'd expect to hear in the background as you wait for the main act to take to the stage.

Gameplay

Gameplay is very simple: winning combinations pay on adjacent reels from left to right on one of 20 fixed paylines. This is different from many other Pragmatic slots, which tend to pay in Clusters or anywhere on the grid.

You'll see four high-paying symbols, in the form of the band members: Kristi, Alisa, Rimin, and Liza. Their accessories, like headphones and a glow stick, pay out smaller wins, as do the A, K, Q, and J symbols.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The colorful Wild symbol can substitute for any other symbol except the Scatter, plus three or more Wilds pay the same amount as the highest-paying standard symbol. Wilds also carry random Multipliers of up to 5x.

The golden VIP ticket is the Scatter symbol, and if three or more of them land on the grid, you'll enter the bonus round with 10 Free Spins. During the bonus game, if two Scatters land, the reels without a Scatter will respin for a chance to get a third and re-trigger the feature. If Free Spins are triggered with four or five Scatters, they'll come with a guaranteed Multiplier of up to 5x.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

Idol Pop Fever is a highly volatile slot game, which is great news in our books as it means wins tend to be a little bigger than average, even though you might have to wait longer for one to trigger. The game's RTP stands at 96.50%, which is above the slot game average and in line with other top Pragmatic Play titles.

You can adjust your coins per line and coin value, to spin for between $/€/£0.20 and $/€/£240 a go. This is high for a lot of providers, but standard for Pragmatic Play. The maximum you can win on Idol Pop Fever is 5,000x your stake amount.

Conclusion

This game is a must for music lovers – it's just as exciting as when your favorite band comes back for the encore. We particularly liked the Free Spins round, which can come with Multipliers of up to 5x, plus the Wilds in the base game go a long way towards increasing payouts. With above-average RTP and high volatility, Idol Pop Fever is definitely a good choice. And who knows, if you manage to bag the top payout, you could be ending things on a real high note.
