*NSYNC Pop

What kind of game is *NSYNC Pop?

True to the line “Pop is forever,” this is a band-licensed slot that captures the 90s pop spirit. As the official description tells you to get your bleached hair and baggy cargo pants ready, you can feel like you’re on stage with Justin, JC, Lance, Joey and Chris. It is a title in the music series from Play’n GO slots, combining nostalgic visuals with modern features.

Is the reel layout unusual?

The base game is played on a unique grid made up of 2, 3, 4, 3 and 2 rows. It is tall in the middle and short at the ends, a diamond shape that looks like a stage, and wins are formed with 144 ways on this layout. The look of the screen is clearly different from a regular 5×3 slot, so the first impression is strong. If you’re a fan, the stage layout alone will remind you of a concert venue.

What do the Pop symbols do?

The real action happens in free spins. Pop symbols appear above and below the reels, and a mystery symbol is revealed each time a Pop pops. The goal of free spins is to clear every Pop symbol from the grid, and once you do, you move on to the Encore Spins. As the Pop symbols burst one by one, the grid gets cleaner and the revealed mystery symbols help create wins. Keep an eye on how many Pop symbols are left as you aim for the Encore.

What changes in the Encore Spins?

The reels only expand during the Encore Spins. Clear all the Pop symbols to reach the Encore stage and the reels widen, giving you more room to win. The band members gather on the reels and act as wilds, so fans will especially enjoy seeing them appear together. True to its name, the Encore is the finale of the show.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 94.2% and the max win is 5,000x. There is no official volatility figure, so get a feel for it in the demo. Check how many spins it takes to clear all the Pop symbols in free spins and how much the reels widen in the Encore Spins, and the goal of this game becomes clear. Bonus buy is not available. Don’t miss the moments when the band member wilds show up, either.
