AvatarUX has decided to break away from their usual PopWin mechanic games with their latest release, Zombie aPOPalypse. This game introduces the innovative MultiPop mechanic, where cascading wins increase position multipliers up to x5 in the base game. The game has a comic book zombie theme that creates a menacing atmosphere, enhanced by an eerie soundtrack and strange sound effects. The 5×4 grid is set in a post-apocalyptic world, and in the bonus round, the position multipliers can reach up to x10, potentially leading to payouts of up to 20,000x your stake.
Players have the option to turn on/off the Ante Bet, which costs 25% more per spin but doubles your chances of triggering the bonus round. There are character premium symbols that pay between 0.75 and 2x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and there are no wild symbols in this game. Wins pay both ways, except for 5 of a kind wins. The MultiPop mechanic removes winning symbols and replaces them with new randomly selected symbols, repeating as long as you keep winning. Each winning position receives a +1 multiplier, increasing by +1 per win up to x5 in the base game. Everything resets between paid spins. When a position reaches the maximum x5 multiplier, the Infectious Multiplier feature is triggered, adding +1 to the multiplier in 4 to 12 randomly chosen positions.
The Bonus Round is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters in view, awarding 10, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively. Players can gamble for up to 20 free spins but risk losing the entire feature. The grid expands to a 5×5 size in the bonus round, offering 6,250 ways to win. The position multipliers never reset and can go up to x10. If all positions have a multiplier, players win +2 extra spins.
Non-UK players and eligible players can take advantage of the Bonus Buy option, where they can pay 100x their stake for 10 free spins, 500x their stake for 15 free spins, or gamble for up to 20 free spins. On average, the bonus round triggers once every 310 spins.
Overall, Zombie aPOPalypse MultiPop offers a solid gaming experience with its unique mechanics and comic book zombie theme. The potential payout of 20,000x your stake adds excitement, and players can look forward to future installments in the MultiPop series.
