AvatarUX merges signature PopWins™ with popular Hold & Win for explosive new gameplay

9th May 2025 – Award-winning slot developer AvatarUX announces the launch of PiggyPop Grand Affair, a thrilling new release that fuses the Studio’s signature PopWins™ mechanic with the fan-favorite Hold & Win, delivering a bold evolution in its mechanics and game portfolio. This glamorous title invites players to a world of golden pigs, expanding reels, and explosive win potential.

Building on the success of the original PiggyPop™, the Grand Affair introduces a new layer of innovation with its dynamic Hold and Win-style Bonus Game, triggered when all reels reach six symbols high. Once activated, the bonus transforms the reels into a sticky, high-volatility experience filled with escalating multipliers, respins, and the potential for massive payouts. This powerful new fusion of mechanics offers both the fast-paced expansion of PopWins™ and the strategic intensity of Hold and Win, setting a new benchmark for innovative slot design.

The core PopWins™ continues to excite, with winning symbols popping and expanding the reels up to six rows in the base game and up to nine in the Free Spins. This mechanic paves the way for increasing win potential with every spin. At the heart of the game’s premium tier is the Super High Symbol, represented by the iconic Gold Piggy, offering multipliers of up up to a staggering 4000x in the Bonus Game. These can be further amplified by a range of game-changing Boosters.

As players navigate the Bonus Game, they can unlock up to six unique Boosters — including persistent multipliers, value adders, and respin resets — all designed to increase tension, engagement, and the size of potential rewards. The synergy between these features adds strategic depth to every session, ensuring PiggyPop Grand Affair offers a truly distinctive and rewarding gameplay experience.

With its rich art direction, vibrant animations, and innovative feature set, PiggyPop Grand Affair marks a bold new chapter for AvatarUX’s PopWins™ series and reinforces the studio’s position at the forefront of creative slot development.

Lara Falzon, CEO of AvatarUX, commented on the launch: “PiggyPop Grand Affair is a perfect showcase of our commitment to evolving the player experience. By combining the excitement of PopWins™ with the much-loved Hold and Win mechanic, we’ve created a slot that’s both familiar and refreshingly new.

This game reflects our passion for innovation and delivering premium content that keeps players engaged and entertained.”
