HelioPOPolis Slot - Review, Free & Demo Play

HelioPOPolis can seem like a really simple slot, but in reality, it has quite an interesting gameplay, with a lot of bonus features that even the most experienced player will find rather refreshing. There are not only many features, but also a lot of win lines in HelioPOPolis - 32,768 paylines, and additionally, the game field here is non-fixed. In the beginning, the reel does consist of 5 reels and 3 rows or up to 8 rows in free spins, but every winning combination of symbols will pop and expand the game field, which creates more possibilities for a win.

Regardless of whether you first want to check out the free version of HelioPOPolis or plan to play for real money, the steps that will help you get started are the same:

• Whenever you are ready, click the blue spin button or activate an autospin mode which is located above the spin button. If you purchase a bonus, it will start the game automatically.

Pop Wins

Pop Wins is a special feature during which every winning symbol will pop and will be replaced by 2 symbols that will increase the reel height. Overall, the reels can be expanded up to 6 symbols tall in the base game and 8 in the Free Spins feature. This will keep happening until there are no more wins.

Free Spins

When you land on 3-5 Bonus symbols they will trigger the Free Spins feature.

Before the Free Spins feature begins, you will enter a Pre-Bonus screen which has the following rewards:

• Synced Reels which gives a chance to land on 2x2 or 3x3 symbols on every spin;
• Expanded Win Symbol with Guaranteed Wilds.

There are 3 Free Spins Modes that you can get:

• If you trigger Free Spins with 3 Scatters you will get 2,048 starting ways 7 free spins and a 5x multiplier.
• For 4 Scatters, you’ll get 6,250 starting ways, 9 free spins and a 6x multiplier.
• For 5 Scatters you’ll get 15,552 paylines, 11 free spins and a 7x multiplier.

Here, you can also unlock additional reels, and if you fully unlock all reels, the Synced Reels and Expanded Win Symbol feature will be activated.

Synced Reels

During a spin, 2 of the adjacent reels can become synchronized and you can land on identical symbols.

Expanded Win Symbol

When the Free Spins feature is active, any random basic symbol can become an Expanded Win Symbol - when it becomes part of a winning combination it will expand to cover the entire reel.

Multipliers

Any consecutive win in pop-round will increase the Multiplier by 1x after the wins are paid. Moreover, if you fully unlock the reels in Free Spins mode, the multiplier will be increased by 2x for every win in that pop round.
