KokeshiPop

We always like to review slots that think outside the box and are not afraid to experiment with new ideas, and that’s why we’re delighted to talk about KokeshiPop - a new game by software provider AvatarUX.

This one-armed bandit is the fifteenth PopWins-powered slot up until now, and we are more than happy to have as many of these as possible - as they really are a breath of fresh air when it comes to slots.

These developers know exactly what makes a good slot game - a great sound design and even better graphics that will surely attract a huge player base.

Theme and Symbols

Kokeshi are Japanese dolls that are usually designed from wood, and they are going to be the centerpiece of this online slot theme, and we believe that they manage to stand out and give this title its own charm - just like movie-themed slots tend to do.

The lower-paying symbols will come in the shape of 10-A Royals, while the medium-paying ones will appear as a Cat, a Sword, and an Amulet. The high and superhigh-paying Symbols are represented by a variety of traditional Japanese cultural characters 

The Scatter Symbol is represented by a “Bonus” text Symbol while the Wild Symbol appears in the shape of a Cat that is holding a “Wild” sign.

Betting options and Features

When it comes to the gameplay area, KakeshiPop has 5 reels that hold 3 symbols at the beginning with initial 486 ways to win via the PopWins mechanic that eliminates winning symbols and replaces them with 2 new ones for each of them - maxing out the reels at 6 symbols.

The minimum amount that you’ll have to bet is 0.2 credits while the maximum amount is going to be capped at 40, which might not be the ideal option for some of the players who are looking to place bigger bets.

This is to be expected by looking at other AvatarUX online slots, so we shouldn’t be surprised, even if we would’ve liked to see bigger betting options so that all types of players could enjoy this title.

Base Game Multiplier: Can be awarded by unlocking the reels while the base game takes place and it can reward you with a random multiplier of x5, x10, or x20 and it doubles on each reoccurring win.

Free Spins: Getting the Free Spins will require you to get at least 3 Scatter Symbols and it will reward you 5 Free Spins, while the maximum is 12 Free Spins with 5 Scatter Symbols.

Free Spins Gamble: Before the Free Spins are awarded, you will be able to choose if you wish to try and increase the number of Free Spins with the spin of the wheel. If you lose, you will be brought back to the base game.

Kokeshi Multiplier: During the Free Spins every win is doubled starting from x1.When you fully unlock the reels then you are awarded Kokeshi Multiplier which will allow you to multiply the existing multiplier by 5, 10, or 20 at random.

Wrapping Up

When it comes to the evolution of modern online gambling, KokeshiPop definitely tries to push the envelope and we can most definitely appreciate that.

We believe that AvatarUX definitely deserves your attention and that you should keep an eye out for everything that they do in the future since their projects have been nothing short of hits.
