AvatarUX mobile slots

Who makes AvatarUX mobile slots

AvatarUX is a slot studio that released its first game in 2019. The companies behind it, and named as licence holders, are Epic88 Limited and Epic88 Malta Limited. In its early years the studio’s games reached casinos through Yggdrasil’s partner network, which helped a small developer get its titles into many lobbies quickly. Our Yggdrasil page explains how that network works.

What sets AvatarUX apart is that almost its whole identity rests on one mechanic. PopWins arrived in 2020, and the studio has built a long series of games around it, many with Pop in the title. If you like one, you will understand the rest within a few spins.

How PopWins works on a phone screen

In general terms, PopWins works like this. When a spin produces a win, each winning symbol pops and is replaced by two new symbols. That makes the reel it sat on taller, and taller reels mean more ways to win. If the new symbols create another win, those pop too, and the grid keeps growing. When no new win appears, the chain ends, and the next spin starts from the normal grid. Each game’s paytable sets out its exact rules, including any limits on reel height.

The idea is related to cascading reels, where winners disappear and new symbols fall in, and to Megaways, where reel height changes every spin. The difference is that PopWins grows the reels only through wins, so a long chain becomes visibly bigger as it goes.

On a phone, a grid that grows vertically makes good use of the tall screen when you hold it upright. As reels get tall, symbols shrink, so on a compact handset a long chain can become hard to read; turning the phone sideways or zooming the app’s text size can help. Each pop is a separate animation, so a single long chain can take much longer than the UK minimum of 2.5 seconds per spin.

CherryPop and the wider Pop series

CherryPop is the flagship AvatarUX game, a fruit-themed slot that showcases PopWins most simply. It has several follow-ups, including CherryPop Deluxe, CherryPop Burst and Toxic CherryPop. PopRocks is described by the studio as the first in the PopWins series.

• Fruit and classic themes: CherryPop, CherryPop Deluxe, JuicyPop, PapayaPop.
• Animal themes: MonkeyPop, PiggyPop, HippoPop, CritterPop.
• Adventure and fantasy: TikiPop, BountyPop, HelioPOPolis, ArcanaPop.
• Seasonal: JinglePop and XmasPop Delight.

The studio also releases games that don’t rely on PopWins, including the Pots of Power and Power Joker series and titles such as Professor Nudge and Volcanic Loot. We haven’t listed RTPs or maximum wins because we couldn’t verify them for each game; check the info screen in your app.

ZapReel, MultiPop, StickyPop and Infinity Stacks

AvatarUX brands several further mechanics. MultiPop, introduced in Zombie aPOPalypse and used in an enhanced form in Kitty POPpins, builds on PopWins. StickyPop appears in Pop O’Gold. ZapReel and Infinity Stacks are also part of the studio’s toolkit. The studio’s own descriptions of these are brief, so the most reliable explanation is the paytable inside each game, which shows how the feature behaves in that title.

Volatility and RTP on AvatarUX mobile slots

Mechanics that can chain many wins together tend to produce uneven results: lots of spins with little or nothing, and occasional spins where the grid grows and pays far more. That is a high-volatility pattern in practice, though you should check the volatility indicator for each game rather than assume. RTP varies by game and version; on a 96% game, £100 of total stakes has a theoretical cost of £4, but any one session can be much better or worse.

1. Open the AvatarUX game in your app.
2. Tap the menu or info icon inside the game window.
3. Read the feature pages to see how PopWins or other mechanics behave in this title.
4. Scroll to the rules and note the RTP and any volatility rating.
5. Choose a stake that lets your budget cover a reasonable number of spins, such as 10p from a £10 budget.

Our volatility entry and how to find a slot’s RTP in an app guide explain both measures.

UK rules on AvatarUX mobile slots

AvatarUX games in UK apps meet the same rules as every other online slot. There is no autoplay, no turbo or slam-stop, a minimum of 2.5 seconds per spin, and no celebration of returns smaller than the stake. Feature buy isn’t offered in Great Britain, so bonus rounds come only through normal play. Stakes stop at £5 a spin for players aged 25 and over and £2 for those aged 18 to 24, as our guide to UK stake limits on mobile slots explains.

Finding AvatarUX mobile slots in a casino app

1. Open your casino app and tap the search icon in the lobby.
2. Type Pop to bring up many of the studio’s titles at once, or search for CherryPop directly.
3. Try AvatarUX in the provider filter, or Yggdrasil if the app groups partner studios under it.
4. Confirm the developer in the game’s info panel.
5. Save the game to favourites for next time.

Lobby search works differently between apps, and a Pop search may also return other studios’ games. Our guide to finding games in a casino app covers this.

AvatarUX games, data and battery

Chained wins mean many animations in a row, so a long PopWins sequence uses more processing power than a simple 5×3 spin. On older phones you may notice warmth or a slight slowdown during long chains. Closing other apps and keeping the phone out of battery-saver mode helps. Data use stays modest after the first load. Our pages on casino app speed and performance and whether casino apps drain battery go further.
