LooneyPop Slot Review

LooneyPop Slot Overview

LooneyPop throws you straight into a madcap sci‑fi cartoon, with flying saucers circling a crackling coil and a brainy alien facing off against a frazzled scientist. The art style feels like a darker spin on Saturday morning animations, and the whole thing never takes itself too seriously. When I first loaded it up, I just let the weird mix of gunslingers, bombs and lab gear wash over me.

Mechanically, LooneyPop is a PopWins slot on a 5‑reel grid that starts at three rows high and can climb to six rows in the base game or nine during free spins. Winning combinations pay both ways from left to right or right to left, so even the starting layout gives 486 ways to win, rising to 118098 when everything is fully expanded.

LooneyPop Slot Information

On the numbers side, LooneyPop runs with an RTP of 96% and high volatility, so the dead patches can sting but the game has the power to land serious hits. Stakes range from 0.20 up to 40 per spin, which suits both testers and more committed play. The headline figure is a max win of 50000x the bet, which fits the explosive theme quite well.

LooneyPop Symbols and Paytable

The symbol set in LooneyPop feels like a b‑movie invasion kit. Lows are the 9, 10, J, Q, K and A royals, paying 0.2x to 0.6x the stake for five of a kind. Premiums are sticks of dynamite, a rifle, an atom bomb, a lady in red, a yellow‑suited gunslinger, the wild‑eyed scientist and the big‑brained alien, each worth 1x to 1.5x for a full line.

There are no wilds or scatters in LooneyPop, which would look harsh if you only glanced at the paytable. In practice the PopWins mechanic and ZapReel do the heavy lifting. Symbols can be split into stacks of matching icons, or expanded to cover entire reels, while multipliers sit above them and apply to any wins that drop in the affected positions during the same sequence.

LooneyPop Slot Features

PopWins in LooneyPop works the way fans expect. When you hit a win, every symbol involved is removed and each position is refilled with two new symbols, pushing the reel height up. In the base game reels can rise to six rows, in free spins they can hit nine. The process keeps running as long as new wins form, so a modest trigger can snowball into a long chain.

Above the grid sits the ZapReel, a three‑cell bar that displays feature rewards on each spin. In the base game this strip can add x2 or x3 multipliers, split symbols that cram up to five matching icons into a single position, expanding winning symbols that stretch to cover an entire reel, and synced reels that copy one reel onto a neighbour to create extra ways to hit.

During free spins the ZapReel is upgraded and always filled with three rewards. Multipliers can now reach x5 and x10, split symbols can show up to ten of the same symbol in one cell, and synced reels can link up to three adjacent reels rather than two. Multipliers are multiplicative rather than additive, so landing several in the same area can spike payouts far beyond the base values.

Free Spins in LooneyPop

Free spins in LooneyPop trigger when all five reels reach six rows high during a single paid spin sequence. You then get 6 free spins as standard. In this mode every spin starts with the reels already at six rows, and instead of resetting back to three, the grid drops to the shortest current reel height. If you manage to push every reel to nine rows, you pick up 2 extra spins.

Before the round begins you can use the Wacky Gamble Wheel to try for more free spins. The first gamble can lift the starting amount to 9 spins, with a slim chance of jumping straight to 12 on a golden segment. Win again and you can step up to 12 or even 18 spins, but one miss at any point kills the bonus and dumps you back in the base game.

Bonus Buy in LooneyPop

If you are in a jurisdiction where it is allowed, LooneyPop offers three bonus buy options. For 125x the bet you can purchase the Boom Bonus, which gives 6 free spins with two reels starting in a synced state. Another 125x option buys direct entry to the Wacky Gamble Wheel. The priciest pick is Maxi Boomy Bonus at 500x, awarding 12 free spins with up to three synced reels from the outset.

LooneyPop Slot Verdict

For me, LooneyPop sits in that sweet spot where the core PopWins engine feels familiar yet the ZapReel throws in enough surprises to stop it going stale. The sci‑fi monster lab theme works well with the constant reel growth and explosions. It runs smoothly, the animations have plenty of character, and the audio stays on the right side of playful without getting tiring during longer sessions.

It is not the most relaxed high variance slot I have played, and the max win of 50000x will tempt anyone who likes chasing huge spikes rather than steady returns. If you enjoy PopWins games that mix win both ways, climbing reels, symbol splits and chunky multipliers, LooneyPop is well worth a spin, especially if you are happy to risk the gamble wheel or splash out on the premium bonus buys.
