KokeshiPop is a slot game that features traditional wooden Japanese dolls known as Kokeshi. While many Western players may not be familiar with this concept, the game’s artwork and mechanics make it worth exploring. The game utilizes the PopWins mechanic, which splits positions on the grid and offers multiplier innovations. The goal is to fill the grid and trigger a random multiplier that doubles with each consecutive win. The maximum potential win is 10,000 times your stake. The game also includes a cat Wild symbol that substitutes for other symbols to complete winning combinations. In the base game, the PopWins mechanic expands the grid with up to 6 positions per reel, while the bonus round allows for up to 7 positions per reel. The bonus round is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters in a PopWins sequence, and offers 5, 8, or 12 free spins, respectively. Consecutive wins in the bonus round increase the starting multiplier, and maxing out the grid awards a random multiplier and additional spins. Players can also gamble to increase their number of free spins before the bonus round starts. The game has an Asian theme, but stands out with its unique visuals and soundtrack. The pace of the game and mechanics are satisfying, although there is a slight delay before the spin button becomes active again. While symbol values are generally low, the doubling multiplier can lead to significant wins, especially with the starting multiplier of x20. The bonus round offers larger potential wins, but the multiplier resets between spins. Overall, KokeshiPop offers a maximum win potential of 10,000 times your stake and medium volatility, making it a more forgiving option compared to other PopWins releases.
