CherryPop Deluxe Slot Review

CherryPop Deluxe Slot Overview

CherryPop Deluxe is a video slot from Avatar UX and part of the PopWins series, so I went in expecting explosive spins and a bright set-up. The game runs on 5 reels and starts with 3 rows, but those rows can grow fast during play. The theme mixes fruit machine symbols with bold Pop art graphics and jazzy lounge music, which gives the whole session a light, slightly surreal casino feel.

I create wins by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, and thanks to the Win All Ways mechanic they can start from either side of the grid. Combined with PopWins this means the number of winning ways can expand all the way up to 118098, so the setup feels far from static even though there are only five reels and no separate bonus symbol in sight.

CherryPop Deluxe Slot Information and Win Ways

CherryPop Deluxe uses the familiar 5 reel layout but plays a little differently to standard fruit slots. Each spin begins on a compact grid, yet the PopWins mechanic can stretch it to 6 rows in the base game and 9 rows in free spins. Combined with Win All Ways, that means hundreds of ways to win on a normal spin and up to 118098 ways once the grid reaches full height.

Symbols and Paytable in CherryPop Deluxe

The paytable in CherryPop Deluxe sticks to classic card royals and fruit. The lower paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, and five of a kind pays between 1.2x and 1.6x your bet. They show up often during long sessions, so they keep the balance ticking along while the PopWins mechanic pushes the reels taller and opens the door for higher value combinations.

The higher paying set looks far juicier. Grapes, watermelon, orange, horseshoe, four leaf clover, bell, diamond and cherry pay between 2.5x and 15x the stake for five of a kind, with cherries sitting at the top. There are no wilds or scatters in CherryPop Deluxe at all, so every win comes from these regular symbols interacting with Win All Ways and the ever expanding grid.

PopWins and Base Game Features in CherryPop Deluxe

In CherryPop Deluxe, the PopWins mechanic is the beating heart of the gameplay. When I hit a winning combination, every symbol in that win disappears and is replaced by two new symbols. That instantly increases the reel height and raises the number of active ways. As long as new wins keep landing, PopWins keeps retriggering on the same paid spin, which can turn a random hit into a chain of payouts.

During the base game, reels can grow up to 6 symbols high. That change might not look huge at first, but with five reels and Win All Ways it creates up to 15552 ways to win on a single spin. If all reels reach 6 positions at the same time, free spins trigger. Between rounds without wins the grid drops back to its default height, ready for the next burst.

Because there are no scatters or other special symbols, the whole bonus set-up in CherryPop Deluxe hangs on PopWins. I actually like that choice, as it makes every regular base game spin feel relevant. You are always one strong rolling sequence away from stretching every reel to the maximum and jumping into the free spins round, especially if the high paying fruit symbols decide to line up.

Free Spins and Gamble Feature in CherryPop Deluxe

When free spins trigger in CherryPop Deluxe, I can either accept the starting package or gamble on a wheel. The wheel offers up to two gambles, each one upgrading the number of free spins and the initial reel heights if it lands in a winning segment. Miss the mark and you drop straight back to the base game, so it is a proper high risk, high reward decision.

There is a special section on the wheel that can give up to 12 free spins on the first gamble or up to 16 on the second. In the bonus, reels stretch to 9 rows and do not fully reset between spins. The multiplier starts at 2x, rises by 1 with each PopWins, then after all reels hit maximum it gives 2 extra spins and future PopWins add 4 instead.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in CherryPop Deluxe

From a numbers angle, CherryPop Deluxe has a theoretical RTP of 95.96 percent and high volatility, so I approach it with a decent bankroll and patience. Bets range from 0.20 to 40 per spin, while the maximum win is capped at 20000x the stake. Two Bonus Buy options are present, costing 75x or 300x the bet if you want direct access to the free spins round.

CherryPop Deluxe Slot Verdict

Having played both versions, I did raise an eyebrow when I saw the word deluxe next to a lower RTP and a reduced max win compared with the original, which went up to 56386x. On paper that sounds like a step back. In practice, though, the reworked art style, cleaner interface and more focused feature set give this slot its own identity.

For me, CherryPop Deluxe shines when PopWins chains across several spins in the bonus and the multiplier snowballs, especially if I braved the gamble wheel and hit one of the higher starting set-ups. The combination of Win All Ways, tall reels and jazzy presentation creates a fast, energetic session, and while the maths can be unforgiving at times, the game still feels capable of delivering genuinely hefty hits.
