Hop'n'Pop from Hacksaw Gaming is a bright slot brimming with various fruits. This game has a farmyard produce theme, but that is not only it. Instead of offering what could have been a standard game, this slot has a massive 7x7 grid. This means that 49 fruit symbols are present at any one time widening the options of wins dramatically. Additionally, it offers a slightly different game mechanic as wins need to be made in clusters on the reels rather than across specific paylines. However, these clusters can be made both horizontally and vertically. However, at least 15 symbols must be matched in this cluster in order to get a win. The game offers a decent RTP of 96.2%, but it also comes with a hugely high volatility level.
What Hop'n'Pop is all about
Hop'n'Pop slot is a very bright and breezy game set on an idyllic farmyard background. The massive grid sits on green fields with the farmhouse in the distance. The reels offer many different fruits and vegetables. In other words, things found in a weekly shop! These include blueberries, aubergines, grapes, cherries, bananas, apples, carrots and strawberries. None of the symbols payout massively though, with all the symbols being worth values from 20x to 80x the initial bet. All of this is matched with a buzzing soundtrack that helps to make this game move along at a nice pace. In addition, there are other bonus symbols on the reels. These include a wild, but this does not land on the reels during the game. Rather, this is part of the bonus spins feature that occurs later.Tumbling Wins
One of the first notable features occurs simply when spinning the reels. If there is a winning cluster made, then the Tumbling reels feature kicks in. When there's a winning cluster, these literally 'pop' off the reels creating more space for more symbols to tumble into the empty spaces on the reels. The spaces are filled with new symbols which consequently create another winning cluster. The Tumbling reels will continue tumbling as long as winning clusters keep being made on the reels. However, the feature comes to an end when there are no more winning clusters to be made. Once a bonus is triggered, the wild comes into play and this can substitute for other symbols to make some winning clusters. However, it won't replace the scatter icon which triggers the bonus spins feature.Hopping Multipliers
The next important feature is the Hopping Multipliers. There's an overlaying Multiplier symbol that can multiply any wins on the reels. When this lands on a winning cluster, the multiplier will first be added to the win and then to either double the value of the win or split it in half. The maximum value of the multiplier is 64x the bet. It's also possible to land more than one multiplier in a single cluster. If that happens, the value of both multipliers is summed up before being multiplied by the win. There's a possibility of four multipliers being added to a single cluster. Additionally, the orange sun scatter symbol landing on the reels will double the multiplier value that is in play. Green suns split the multiplier into as many as four parts.Bonus Spins
The final extra feature is the Bonus Spins. To trigger this feature, three or more of the sun in sunglasses scatters must be landed on the reels. This will then trigger 10 bonus spins on the reels. The number of scatters landed though affects the value of the starting multiplier that the bonus spins have. For three scatters, there is just one multiplier of 2x. Four scatters starts the bonus with two lots of 2x multipliers, and five scatters means the bonus begins with four 4x multipliers in play. Any wild orange symbols appearing during this feature will substitute for other symbols. And, the multipliers behave in the same fashion as the base game, but will also remain in play for the entire duration of the bonus spins which means more wins are to be had.Hop'n'Pop summary
Hop'n'Pop slot is a far more relaxed game than any of the others coming from Hacksaw Gaming. The slot's sleepy ambience and colourful symbols are relaxing rather than intense. However, beneath this rather soft exterior lies a rather intense game that has the potential to payout. The first of the top features here are the Hopping Multipliers which are helpful when aiming for a big win. However, to make the most of these multipliers, they have to land as part of a winning cluster otherwise nothing comes from them. Additionally, the stakes for each symbol are low. However, there's a chance to score up to 12,500x the stake if the slot falls the right way.
