About AvatarUX

AvatarUX is a Stockholm studio founded in 2018 by a team from Play'n GO and NYX Gaming. It operates under an MGA license and distributes through the Yggdrasil YGS Masters program. The catalog is small — around 20 titles — but all are built around a signature mechanic the studio has patented. PopWins is their main invention. Here's how it works: a winning symbol "pops," and the reel adds another row, expanding up to 8 rows high. The more pops, the taller the grid. When a reel reaches maximum height, it shrinks back down and triggers a free spin. Cherry Pop was the first PopWins title — cherries, minimalist design, the mechanic in its pure form. PopRocks is the best-known PopWins slot with a rock music theme and RTP up to 96.45%. Lilith's Inferno has a dark demonic design with expanding symbols and a High Voltage bonus, with a maximum win of 15,376x the stake. Medusa: The Curse of Athena brings Greek mythology into the PopWins format with additional Medusa Wild symbols that freeze positions. Reel Desire uses a film noir theme with an expanded grid. AvatarUX works consistently within one genre. Each title builds on PopWins rather than inventing something new — that's both a strength and a limitation. But the PopWins mechanic is well-recognized by its audience. The mechanic is popular among streamers: PopRocks regularly appears in big-win videos on YouTube and Twitch. A good choice for casinos with an active streamer audience. Another point in AvatarUX's favor — a steady release pace of 4-6 titles per year, which for a studio of this size reflects a high standard.
