HOP'N'POP SLOT REVIEW

Developer Hacksaw Gaming reminds us to get enough sun thanks to the Hop'n'Pop slot. There are few other slots that drive home the importance of eating enough fruits and vegetables like this one!

Hop'n'Pop is played on a seven-by-seven grid that pays through winning clusters. The default RTP is 96.20% at the time of writing.

ABOUT THE HOP'N'POP SLOT 

With multipliers and free spins just a stroke of luck away, Hop'n'Pop packs a good punch for both new players and veterans. The maximum amount you can win in this Hacksaw Gaming slot is 12,500x your initial bet.

GAMEPLAY 

A big farm, two green hills and a perfect blue sky encapsulate the lovely backdrop, in front of which lies our high-volatility grid. Although the scenery will change when the Free Spins mode is unlocked, we won't reveal how. At least, not yet!

WAGER

The Hop'n'Pop slot features a minimum bet of €0.20 and a maximum bet of €100, respectively, or currency equivalent.

A payout will be granted whenever five or more identical symbols connected together land, creating a winning combination called 'winning cluster'. During the same spin, the same winning cluster will be removed and new symbols will drop in. This cascade feature will continue until there are no more winning clusters available.

SYMBOLS

The Hop'n'Pop game features eight different fruit and vegetable symbols—the highest-value symbol being the carrot. This slot also includes Wild orange symbols, which substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols. Speaking of which, the smiling sun represents the game's Scatter.

MULTIPLIERS FEATURE

Apart from the usual symbols is the overlaying Multiplier symbol. Although not exactly the traditional symbol that occupies the grid, this Multiplier lands on other symbols. If this symbol lands on any winning combinations, the win will be multiplied by the multiplier value. The multipliers take a new random position upon each spin.

The starting multipliers are always 2x but the maximum value one multiplier can have is 64x. Orange suns can double multiplier values, whereas green suns will split them into one more multiplier.

HOP'N'POP FREE SPINS FEATURE

In order to unlock the Free Spins feature, we'll need the, you guessed it, Free Spin symbol (i.e. Scatters).

• Three Scatter symbols award 10 free spins and one multiplier of 2x.
• Four Scatter symbols award 10 free spins and two multipliers of 2x.
• Five Scatter symbols award 10 free spins and four multipliers of 4x.

BONUS BUY FEATURE

In some jurisdictions, players can purchase the aforementioned bonus round for a hefty price. Upon purchase, three Scatter symbols will land on the new spin and the bonus round will kick into effect.

HOP'N'POP FREE PLAY (DEMO MODE)

Before you take to the fields of Hop'n'Pop you may want to take an alternative route and try the demo mode. The demo is another way to play casino games that includes the exact same exciting features, mechanics and gameplay as the base game, only that you spin the reels using virtual coins rather than your real money. 

Virtual funds only exist within the game, and all the big wins gathered in the demo aren't real, either, so the grand jackpot is off the table. But the demo is perfect for devising the right plan of action to best avoid and getting some practice under your belt. Once you’ve gotten the lay of the land, you’ll be ready to embark on your adventure for real.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be asked to register and complete the verification process to access the demo. In cases where verification is not necessary, you may be able to play for free as a visitor. 

To access the demo at EnergyCasino, all you have to do is hover over the game’s thumbnail and select the ‘DEMO’ button.
