Hip Hop Pop review

Theme and Storyline

Hip Hop Pop has a music industry theme.

Players will step out into a neon-lit city and make their way to a legendary dance club. As the night goes on, they’ll meet eccentric characters and move to the beat until dawn.

This slot is a fun choice for fans of hip hop and those looking for a festive atmosphere.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack has an air of mystery, blending a deep rhythm and delicate chiming notes. The sound is infused with a hip hop flavor.

On the reels, players will see boomboxes, stylish sneakers, spray paint, as well as letters and numbers illuminated by neon lights. The aesthetic brings to mind a rather vintage ‘90s image of hip hop.

A number of characters also appear among the symbols, each one showing off chunky gold jewelry and plenty of attitude. Though there are some stereotypical elements, these characters are easy to picture delivering a hip hop performance on stage.

Behind the reels, players will see a night time cityscape. The buildings are embellished with glowing windows, and bright signs ensure that the scene seems to glitter.

Overall, the animation and soundtrack of Hip Hop Pop combine to create an enticing world of music and rebellion.

Gameplay

Hip Hop Pop begins with a 5x3 structure; however, the reels can expand through this slot’s special features (see further details below).

Wins are awarded for landing matching symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel and going towards the rightmost.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols and only appears during the Free Spins feature.

The PopWins special feature means that winning symbols ‘pop’ so that they can be replaced by 2 symbols. This can increase the size of the reels up to 6 symbols in height during the base game, and up to 9 symbols in height during the Free Spins feature.

When players increase the size of the reels to 6 symbols in height, the Free Spins feature is triggered. During the Free Spins feature, the reels do not fully reset between spins.

The number of free spins and the special bonus features are decided when players use the Gamble Wheel prior to beginning the feature. The Free Spins feature has three levels:

• Level 1: 6-8 free spins with a random Guaranteed Wild or random Synced Reels.
• Level 2: 7-9 free spins with a random Guaranteed Wild or random Synced Reels or both.
• Level 3: Up to 10 free spins along with a Bonus Pick in which players choose their Free Spins mode from: Synced Reels on every spin, or Guaranteed Wilds on every spin.

During the Free Spins feature, players begin with a 2x multiplier which can be increased by +1 during consecutive wins. If players fully unlock the reels, the multiplier is increased by +4. Players are also granted an additional +2 free spins when they fully unlock the reels.

The Synced Reels feature occurs as two adjacent reels become synchronized during a spin, landing matching symbols. This increases the player’s chance of landing winning combinations.

If players wish, they can buy into an extended version of the Free Spins feature and enhanced extended versions of the feature.
