CherryPop Deluxe (AvatarUX) – Review & Demo Play

CherryPop Deluxe Slot Overview

I went back to CherryPop Deluxe, a PopWins sequel from Avatar UX. The look is loud Pop art with bright colours and jazzy vibes, a far cry from the minimalist first outing. The grid starts 5 reels by 3 rows, paying both ways via Win All Ways. PopWins expands the reels as wins land. It runs on high volatility with a 95.96% RTP. Stakes range from 0.20 to 40 per spin, and the headline potential sits at 20,000x, so the stakes-to-reward ratio feels fair for this series.

The maths tweaks are noticeable when you compare it to the 2020 release, with potential trimmed and presentation turned up. I don’t mind the trade-off, as the tempo stays brisk once PopWins get moving. The base game can breathe thanks to expansion up to six rows, which sets up the route into the bonus. It’s a familiar package for PopWins regulars, yet the art direction gives it fresh energy and keeps the sessions lively.

CherryPop Deluxe Slot Information

Lower paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. Landing five of a kind pays 1.2x to 1.6x the bet. Higher paying symbols are grapes, watermelon, orange, horseshoe, four-leaf clover, bell, diamond and cherry, worth 2.5x to 14x for five. There are no wilds nor scatters, so PopWins drives the flow. Wins form with three or more on adjacent reels starting from the left or the right, thanks to Win All Ways. It’s a clean paytable that fits the series’ rhythm.

CherryPop Deluxe Slot Features

When a way hits, the PopWins mechanic removes the winning symbols and drops in two new ones per symbol. In the base game, reels can climb to six symbols high, opening up to 15,552 ways. If all five reels reach six, free spins trigger. I’ve had several chains where a small hit snowballs into a screen that’s packed tall, and that’s the heartbeat of CherryPop Deluxe. No scatter symbol is involved here.

Before free spins, there’s a wheel gamble with up to two steps. You can accept the starting setup or spin for more spins and stronger reel heights, with a chance to hit a special golden segment. That can award up to 12 free spins on the first gamble or up to 16 on the second. In the bonus, reels can reach nine rows and up to 118,098 ways. Between spins, reels reset down to the lowest height reached on the last spin.

A progressive win multiplier runs through the bonus. It starts at x2 and rises by +1 after each PopWins sequence. If you manage to get all reels to nine rows, you pocket +2 free spins, the multiplier jumps by +4, and from then on PopWins add +4 each time. For direct access there are two Bonus Buy buttons at 75x for the regular entry, or 300x to land the top starting rewards, as if the second wheel gamble had landed.

CherryPop Deluxe Slot Verdict

CherryPop Deluxe looks the part and keeps the PopWins loop tight. The RTP sits at 95.96% and the 20,000x cap is lower than the first game, yet the pace and the art carry sessions well. High volatility means stretches of calm, then sudden flurries once the grid grows. I like the risk of the wheel gamble, and the 300x route is there when I want the premium start. It’s a lively sequel that I still load up.
