80sPop is a video slot by AvatarUX, released on 28 March 2024. It uses a ways-to-win format across five reels, with 243 ways and a super high variance profile. The RTP is listed at 96% or 94%, depending on the version shown. Players can use the demo version to play for free and practice before playing for real money.
The main mechanic is PopWins™, where each winning symbol is removed and replaced with two symbols, allowing the reels to expand during a spin. In the base game, reels can grow to six symbols high, and once all reels are fully unlocked a 2x multiplier is activated for later pop-wins in that round. When the round ends, Free Spins begin with the multiplier carried over.
During Free Spins, reels start at three symbols high and can expand to eight. Each winning pop-round adds 1x to the global multiplier, while fully unlocking the reels awards two extra Free Spins. Gold Star symbols also increase in value as the reels grow, reaching 2x, 3x, and 4x base value at higher reel heights. Before Free Spins start, a Bonus Wheel may offer additional rewards instead of the standard five-spin entry.
