Pop! by Games Inc. Game Review

Intro

Some time back, we analyzed a crash game called Pop! by Mobilots. In that review, we mentioned that another game with the same name from the same genre exists, created by Games. Inc., adding that we hope to check that title out as well. Well, we have decided to do so. We also talked about Games Inc. a short time back when we told you all we could about Shooot! by this British game supplier, operating in the interactive gaming sector since 2013.

What we failed to note in our Shooot! Crash review is that that product got created in collaboration with Thunderbolt Gaming, the same as in the case of Pop!, a simple burst mechanic title from Game Inc. that we will be looking at here. It came out in November 2020 and is available in several markets, pulling its best numbers in Turkey and doing okay in Estonia.

How Does Pop! by Games Inc. Work

Pop! is a balloon-themed crash pick, and it functions about the same as other entries to this Busta-bit-inspired gaming sub-category. You get a balloon here that features a multiplier that begins to grow at the start of every round, and it can burst or pop, whatever you want to call it, randomly, ending your gaming fun. Now, if you cashed out, meaning you have hit the green button you used to bet during the round while the balloon was still in the air, you get the balloon value to multiply your round stake at the multiplier figure it was when you pressed cash-out. That is how you win here. If you wait too long and the balloon bursts before you do this, you will lose your wager.

How to Play Pop! by Games Inc.

The betting range in Pop! by Games Inc. moves from $1 to $100. You can make two wagers per round in this game. And you can implement an auto-cash-out and auto-bet feature. The first allows you to select a multiplier value from x1.10, and the latter lets you automate your sessions. You must click the auto-bet toggle at the select wager panel and select the Auto Bet tab on the side of the betting section. Doing that will allow you to adjust stop bet orders and stop on-win/loss restrictions as well.

Where Can You Play Pop! by Games Inc.

Given that Games Inc. used to make gaming products exclusively for Betsson, we assume that this title can get found at that renowned gambling site. Unfortunately, none of our listed crypto-gambling brands seem to carry it in their game arsenals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Two bets per round.
• Sizeable max win (for the genre).
• Okay auto-play functions.

Cons

• Boring presentation.
• No extra features.
• Undisclosed variance & max multiplier.

Graphics Quality

We must say that the background look of Game Inc’s Pop! looks a lot like the one in Mobilots creation of the same name. The clouds are smaller here, and they have dark blue outlines. But the sunray line style is the same. The balloon is also smaller in this game, which implements a pop art POP graphic when a round ends. We also like the music better in this crash pick than in Mobilots’ one. It is more relaxing, at least to us.

User Experience

The UX of this Games Inc. release is pretty basic and identical to the one in Shoot! You have your two bet panels on the right, each with auto-cash-out, auto-play toggles, wager selectors, and eight defined bet values. On the left are the bet/history/highest-win tables, and in between these two sections, you have the multiplier area with a list of past round outcomes under it. There is also a black bar at the bottom of your screen detailing your win and site balance info, which also holds the mute and setting icons on each of its sides.

Tension & Anticipation Value

Unless you bet big, you will barely experience any tension here. The game’s lighthearted vibe ruins any significant anticipation value you may feel while making modest wagers in its gaming rounds.

RTP & Variability

The theoretical RTP of Games Inc’s Pop! is 97.16%, the identical one in Shoot! by this same company, and like in that one, you get no variance info for this one also.

Min/Max Multipliers

The minimum win multiplier here is x1.01, growing from a base value of x1.00, but no max one gets discussed. We assume the round ends when Pop! reaches its win cap, which is a sum we will divulge in the FAQ section.

House Edge

If the RTP here is 97.16%, this will give this online gambling product a house edge of 2.84%.

Winning Strategies

You can hedge by making two wagers, cash out early, or try your hand at some negative progression with the auto-play panel, which offers more functions than most third-party genre additions.

Summary – Is Pop! by Games Inc. Worth It?

Which POP is better, this one or the one from Mobilots? We will have to say this one. We say that only because of its better auto-play options. In truth, we find both games super boring. While they both do have better than average RTPs for third-party crash choices, we cannot tell you to even test both as they are super rudimentary, offering nothing special. They have limited availability, and maybe that is for the best.
