Rules
Differently-colored grotesque monsters levitate over Monster Pop’s cavernous play area in a 5X5 formation. You see drooling purple oddities, grinning yellow crabs, beaming orange aliens, and infuriated reddish bats, to mention a few. These cartoonish creatures “pop” every time there is a winning cluster, which is comprised of at least 4-of-a-kind. This leaves empty spaces for others gravitate from the top, potentially leading to multiple wins on a single spin.
Moving on to the most essential controls, you will find them at the bottom of the grid, as usual. While a linear middle section gives you a total of 11 bet sizes ranging from €0.25 to €25 to play with, 2 circular buttons on the right give you either the option of taking one spin at a time or kickstarting back-to-back auto-spins.
Oracle Eye Wilds
Appearing alongside the monsters from time to time is the colorful oracle’s eye. Although it’s not worth anything on its own, it can take the place of any monster to help meet the qualifying number for a winning cluster (4) or even better, create a bigger cluster for better cash prizes.
Clone your Monsters
Payout-wise, the monster symbols are worth different prizes, with the highest paying symbol (a star-like monster with antennae) triggering prizes of up to 400 times your bet when the size of the cluster exceeds more than a hundred symbols. So, how do you get to clusters of 100+ symbols when the game starts out on a 5X5 grid, which in theory has the potential to create clusters of only up to 25 symbols?
Well, the answer lies partly with the explosive Monster Cloner symbol, which expands the grid horizontally, vertically, or both by duplicating entire rows/columns. The added symbols can lead to winning combinations, the chances of which are increased by the Monster Cloner spawning an oracle wild.
Channeling your Wrath
The Monster Fury feature can be activated on any non-winning cascade. This feature either spreads monster cloners on random grid positions or groups together identical monsters thus guaranteeing a win!
Bonus Round
The scatter is represented by a flaming sphere. Land at least 3 to activate 7 free spins, plus an extra free spin for every scatter landed. i.e. 3 scatters = 10 free spins, 4 = 11, 5 = 12, 6 = 13, e.t.c. Here, the grid keeps expanding as more Monster Cloners appear and unlike the base game, it does not reset at the end of each round. What’s more, you will get an additional free spin every time you land a flaming sphere before the end of the session.

A Monstrous Slot worth a Punt!
Monster Pop is the sort of video slot that’s easy to undervalue and dismiss when you are on one of those leisurely slot hunts. With its simple 2D design, 5X5 layout, and cartoonish appearance, it does not appear generous, nor does it trying to. After giving it a serious go, however, that’s when you realize that it is actually one of the most feature-laden & generous slots you can find on the slotsverse.
Make sure you play this slot to see how it compares to other cinematic online casino slots from BetSoft such as Take the Bank.
