Yggdrasil and AvatarUX have partnered for the Zombie aPOPalypse slot release, which features a new MultiPop mechanic.
The 5x4, pays-both-ways title is set to a zombie theme and players can take advantage of wins as big as 20,000x.
The MultiPop mechanic works by locking a multiplier to a cell for every win that occurs. When winning symbols are replaced, the multiplier stays on the reels, increasing for each consecutive win it is part of up to a total of 5x in the base game.
Infectious multipliers can also appear when a max multiplier is reached during base play and means anything from four to 12 cells are upgraded with an additional 1x multiplier.
Stuart McCarthy, head of product & programs at Yggdrasil, said: “AvatarUX continues to create innovative, exciting content and they have pushed the envelope again with Zombie aPOPalypse which introduces the new MultiPop mechanic.
“The thrilling game sees a new, frightening theme added to its portfolio, and we’re very happy to work with such a forward-thinking brand.”
Three or more brain scatter symbols will trigger the Free Spins mode, where the grid is increased to a 5x5 configuration and locked in place for the duration of the game. In the Free Spins mode, multipliers can reach a maximum of 10x and if all reels are filled with multipliers, two extra spins are awarded.
There is also the gamble wheel on offer before players enter the bonus mode. Here, they can risk winning more free spins and, in some cases, players can progress directly to the bonus with one of two purchase buy options.
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “We’re incredibly excited to launch Zombie aPOPalypse, where we yet again evolve our portfolio with new mechanics and features.
“We are working hard to further expand our games portfolio with innovative and entertaining titles and with big multipliers able to land on every spin, and a pays-both-ways mechanic, we feel this game has plenty to get players excited about.”
