Lock and Pop is a space-themed video slot from NetEnt featuring 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines. The game has a default RTP of 96.09%, with additional versions at 93.98% and 87.95%. It is a low to medium volatility slot offering a maximum win potential of 4,046x the bet.
The slot's symbols include classic card ranks from 10 to Ace as the lower-paying symbols, while bells, 7s, and diamonds represent the higher-paying ones. The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols, helping to create winning combinations. The Prize symbol, which also acts as the Scatter, is key to triggering the Free Spins round when 6 or more land on the reels.
During the Free Spins, Prize symbols become Sticky and remain on the reels until the end of the bonus or until a Lock and Pop Bonus feature is activated. Players start with 7 Free Spins, and when a reel is filled with Sticky Prize symbols, one of ten Lock and Pop Bonus features is triggered. These features, which include Retrigger, Adder, Magnet, Super Magnet, Topper, Blaster, Duplicator, Big Bang, Super Collector, and Hammer, provide various ways to boost the values of the Sticky Prize symbols or award additional spins.
For those eager to jump straight into the action, the game offers a Feature Buy option, allowing players to purchase entry into the Free Spins round for 50x the bet.
