WildPops Game Characteristics

WildPops has 486 to 33614 bidirectional win lines, enlarging grid with cloned cells, cascading symbols, heart bonus game, free re-spins, progressive multipliers, fifteen symbols, randomized wilds, from X.01 to X30 regular payouts, and fourteen total bets.

WildPops has a celled gray 5X3 grid whose winning reels enlarge once upwards after each win; the back-to-back wins may result in the maximum seven-cell reels, potentially forming a 5X7 grid with progressively unlocking wins lines. The holed red-and-golden “+1” pillar to the left of the blurry background is a win multiplier counter.

The WildPops’ cash bets: $0.2 (minimum), $0.3, $0.5, $0.7, $1.00, $2.00, $3.00, $5.00, $7.00, $10.00, $20.00, $30.00, $40.00, and $50.00 (maximum).

WildPops has one special symbol: the substitute is a red-and-golden “wild” grenade. The fourteen ordinary symbols comprise of: one super high-paying ice dragon; seven high-paying zodiacal/Feng Shui animals—pouncing orange tiger; green-and-blue serpent dragon, ruby-holding purple-and-blue pig, blue-and-orange rooster, red-and-white dragon, feng shui-coin holding orange-and-brown owl, and coin-holding blue-and-white fish; and six lowly, tasseled and Hanzi-styled card values—golden A, crimson K, purple Q, blue J, spruce 10, and green 9.

Below are the WildPops’s odds.

Three A, K, Q, J, 10, or 9 pay X0.1; four A, K, Q, J, 10, or 9 pay X0.2; and five A, K, Q, J, 10, or 9 pay X0.5.
Three fish or owls pay X0.3; four fish or owls pay X0.6; and five fish or owls pay X1.2.
Three red-and-white dragons pay X0.4; four red-and-white dragons pay X0.8; and five red-and-white dragons pay X1.5.
Three roosters pay X0.5; four roosters pay X1; and five roosters pay X2. Three pigs pay X0.8; four pigs pay X1.6; and five pigs pay X3.
Three green-and-blue dragons pay X1; four green-and-blue dragons pay X2; and five green-and-blue dragons pay X4.
Three tigers pay X1.2; four tigers pay X2.5; and five tigers pay X5.
Three ice dragons pay X5; four ice dragons pay X10; and five ice dragons pay X30.

The winning symbols become golden before vanishing, thus: leaving doubled positions for newly-drawn symbols; and each explosively disappearing symbol lightens a multiplier counter’s hole. Lighting up 7/7 holes cyclically offers a +1 multiplier—total multipliers are at top left.

Three back-to-back wins prompt two wilds (from below the grid) to randomly bombard the grid. Attaining a 5X7 grid prompts a re-spin with three red-stringed Feng Shui “live” hearts.

If the next round is winless, the hearts safeguard the 5X7 grid from otherwise instantly reverting to a 5X3 grid; one heart is eaten, yielding a re-spin—therefore, safeguarding the maximum grid by three free re-spins for winless rounds. The maximum X17707 bet multiplier (17707X50) yields a $885350.00 non-progressive jackpot.
