Special Features
The interesting thing about this game is that there are no Wilds and Scatters. The bonuses that it features depend more on other mechanics. First, there is the replacement feature. Players who get a winning combination will see the symbols disappear and be replaced by two symbols for each that won. This can result in new wins.
Additionally, every win will see the game add more rows. During the base game, players can get up to six rows for this game. It can even go to eight rows when it is the bonus round. The additional bonus is that when the rows reach six, a multiplier feature is added. More wins mean that the multiplier increases.
When the reels are fully expanded, players then get free spins. A bonus wheel will appear to help determine how many free spins the player will get. There is a guarantee of at least five free spins and it can go up to nine. During the free spins, players will have a maximum of 65536 ways to win. HippoPo has an RTP of 96.1 percent.
