ArcanaPop Theme:
The word “Arcana” refers to something mysterious, secret, or esoteric knowledge. And Pop is the key feature of AvatarUX.
ArcanaPop is a path to spiritual enlightenment for the king and queen, who are the main characters of this slot game and act as High Symbols.
ArcanaPop is a 5 Reel and 3 to 9 Rows game, which starts with 3 rows and 243 ways to win and can be expandable up to 9 rows and 59049 win ways due to its PopWins feature.
You will be able to see the Sun in the background and in the overall theme because, in the tarot, the Sun is one of the 22 major arcana cards, representing enlightenment, joy, success, and vitality.
There are 6 Low Symbols in the form of A, Q, J, K, 10 and 9. They can give a payout from 0.1X to 1.4X of the bet.
High Symbols are globe, scale, star, tower, goat, princess, and king. They all represent a deck of Tarot Cards.
Background music gives you feel like you are sitting in front of a tarot card reader in a Tarot Chamber
Slot features:
1. PopWins:
Each winning symbol POPs and is replaced by 2 symbols increasing the reel height. This is repeated for as long as there are no more wins.
This is the key mechanic of AvatarUx and is used in almost every AvatarUx slot game.
2. Fortune Change:
One randomly selected type of low symbol will be replaced by a high-paying symbol. All occurrences of the selected symbol will be replaced.
This feature is triggered randomly during gameplay or it can be selected via the Xpress Hub options.
3. Major Arcana:
This feature can only trigger during the Bonus Game or can be bought via feature buy.
A randomly chosen symbol will drop in with a colossal size of 2×2 or 3×3. This increases the chances of winning big.
4. Oracle Mode:
During Oracle Mode, both Major Arcana and Fortune Change are enabled simultaneously. This means that colossal symbols can also be upgraded via Fortune Change.
This will only trigger during free spins.
5. Gamble Wheel:
This feature will only trigger before entering the Bonus Game.
Players can gamble their already-won free spins and increase their chance to win more free spins or additional features like Major Arcana, Oracle Mode etc.
Also, players can lose their already-won free spins on the Gamble Wheel.
6. Free Spins:
Bonus Game or Free Spins will trigger when all the reels in the Base Game reach a height of 6 symbols per reel. It will award 6 Free Spins initially.
Free Spins starts with a default 5 x 6 Reel-row game.
Sometimes randomly the POP win can trigger additional free spins instead of a multiplier increment. Players can get up to +3 additional free spins per win.
There is an x2 multiplier when the bonus round begins. If the Reel Area is not yet entirely unlocked, consecutive wins raise the multiplier by x1, and if it is fully unlocked, then by x4.
7. Feature Buy:
There are 5 options of feature buys available:
- Bonus: It costs 60 times the bet and rewards 6 free spins.
- Gamble: It is the riskier version of Bonus. It also costs 60x bet and can reward up to 10 Free Spins.
- Fortune Change: You will get 10 Free Spins and in each free spin Fortune Change feature will trigger. The cost is 250 x bet.
- Major Arcana: 10 Free Spins will be awarded and in every spin, Major Arcana will trigger. The cost is 250 times the bet.
- Oracle Mode: You will get 10 Free Spin in exchange for a 1000x bet. Every spin will trigger Oracle Mode.
100 Spins Experience:
We personally do not believe in tarot cards but we tried ArcanaPop. We played 100 spins on the demo version of 1 Euro each and left with 57 Euros at the end.
We hit the win 31 times all of them were just penny wins. Fortune Change is very rare. But its bonus buys have great potential.
PopWins makes it interesting otherwise the base game is not up to the mark. But we really liked the bonus game with several feature buys.
We think that AvatarUx should work on its fast spin and skip functionality they are not smooth and fast.
ArcanaPop Slot Conclusion:
AvatarUx is trying to break off from its enduring themes of stones, gems, etc. Recent games like Florida Man and Nugget have demonstrated that they are getting better at choosing themes. At the Game Developer Awards, they were also awarded Game Mechanic of the Year. They have accomplished considerable success with their PopWins mechanic, which is well-known in the industry.
ArcanaPop is also an interesting theme slot game with an RTP of 96% and Medium Volatility, we think that players will like medium one. 20000x Max Win is also a considerable amount.PopWins can make zero to hero in a single spin. We liked the selection of feature buys in this slot game, every feature is buyable, if we are not wrong then it is something new that we have seen in AvatarUX slots. The default multiplier in Bonus Game adds a great value to the game.
Overall in terms of features, ArcanaPop has a decent amount of features, but in gameplay, it can be improved a bit(specifically skip functionality). If you are looking for a good win cap and medium volatile slot game then ArcanaPop is for you.
