AvatarUX Rolls out CherryPop with PopWins Mechanic via YG Masters

One of the first software studios to join YG Masters Program from Yggdrasil Gaming, AvatarUX, has officially launched its third title, CherryPop, featuring the revolutionary PopWins mechanic.

By partnering with the Swedish online gaming solutions provider and subsidiary of Cherry AB, AvatarUX has successfully produced another mega hit that utilizises unique PopWins, combined with a 5×3 grid and pays-both-ways mechanic.

Moreover, this title can trigger a streak of winning spins that expand up to a full 5×9 reel setup. As a result, each winning symbol that pops out can reveal two more in a tumbling style, another popular gaming format.

Buy Bonus or Double up

Apart from introducing regular attractions such as extra spins and multipliers, the studio is also excited about presenting two new levels with a Gamble or Double up Mode and a Buy Bonus option. Both novelties can significantly contribute to the higher win potential, and CherryPop is actually the first AUX game that enables players to skip base play and head directly to complimentary spins.

It all plays out on a 243 payline grid, able to cash out both ways. Althought the main game starts on a 5×3 grid, it eventually expands its configuration to 5×6 or even 5×9. Besides the extra spins gamble mode, complimentary rounds can be reached by using the Buy Bonus mode. However, players must fully unlock all reels through popping wins, before enabling all three levels of extra spins, followed by higher multipliers and more reels.

In addition to regular gameplay, players will also have a rare opportunity to “gamble” their extra spins and potentially win more. This advantageous play is activated via Gamble Wheel or in certain jurisdictions, the Buy Bonus option.

CherryPop is configured through Yggdrasil’s pioneering GATI technology, which is currently being used by many partners such as TrueLab, 4ThePlayer and Skyrocket, allowing them to employ the “preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardized development toolkit” for groundbreaking content solutions.

GATI on the Rise

Rapid distribution across Yggdrasil’s entire cross-selling network has enabled many YG Masters partners to rapidly scale and accelerate their global growth strategies. Among the recently joined brands are Betsson, Jelly, ReelPlay and Gamevy, and head of Partner Programs at Yggdrasil, Stuart McCarthy, lauds the latest portfolio expansion with these words:

“We’re thrilled to be releasing our third title with AvatarUX. With their innovative Popwins™ mechanic proving a real industry hit, we’re really excited to launch CherryPop™ to the market. Our YG Masters program continues to go from strength-to-strength and our partnerships have never been stronger with members.”

Marcus Honney, managing director at AvatarUX, also commented:

“CherryPop™ takes our mechanic and adds a thrilling theme with impressive win potential, and we can’t wait to see how it is received by operator partners across the globe.”

Honney added:

“Since joining the YG Masters program, we’ve been able to focus purely on our game design which has led to our Popwins™ titles becoming very popular throughout Yggdrasil’s distribution network. The end-to-end integration through GATI has been effortless, and with a record fast implementation. GATI is the studio developers dream.”

CherryPop comes with a maximum win cap of €2,255,440 and a solid RTP of 96.14 percent.
