Shippy D Pop

Shippy D Pop is a pirate-themed slot game developed by AvatarUX, featuring a 5-reel layout with up to 118,098 ways to win. The game utilizes the innovative PopWins™ mechanic, where winning symbols pop and are replaced by two new symbols, increasing the reel height. In the base game, reels can expand up to 6 symbols tall, while in Free Spins, they can reach up to 9 symbols.

The game's standout feature is the ZapReel™, an additional horizontal reel with three cells above the main grid. On each spin, the ZapReel™ displays special Feature Rewards that apply to the reels directly below them. These rewards reset with every new spin, adding an element of anticipation to each play.

In the base game, ZapReel™ rewards include:

• Multipliers (x2 and x3)
• Split Symbols (up to 5 of the same symbols in one cell)
• Expand Winning Symbol (covers entire reel if part of a winning combination)
• Synced Reels (synchronizes 2 adjacent reels for identical symbols)

The Free Spins feature is triggered by fully unlocking the reels in the base game (reaching 6 symbols tall). Before entering Free Spins, players have the opportunity to gamble on the Pirate Wheel to increase their number of free spins. The initial amount is 6 free spins, which can be increased to 9 or 12 through successful gambles. A special golden field on the wheel offers the chance to win up to 12 free spins on the first gamble and up to 18 on the second.

During Free Spins, the ZapReel™ rewards are upgraded:

• Enhanced Multipliers (x2, x3, x5, and x10)
• Improved Split Symbols (up to 10 of the same symbols in one cell)
• Expanded Synced Reels (up to 3 adjacent reels)
• The ZapReel™ is always filled with 3 rewards on each spin

The game also offers a Bonus Buy feature, allowing players to purchase entry into the Free Spins mode for 125x the bet, or a maxed-out Free Spins mode with 12 Free Spins and enhanced features for 500x the bet.

A particularly interesting aspect of Shippy D Pop is its innovative combination of the PopWins™ mechanic with the ZapReel™ feature. This unique pairing creates a dynamic gameplay experience where each spin has the potential for multiple expanding reels and special rewards, keeping players engaged with ever-changing possibilities.
