Pop Parade vs Reactoonz
Reactoonz, from Play'n GO, is spun, with aliens on a 7x7 grid. It pays clusters of 5 or more and charges meters that set off random features. Pop Parade, coming 24 November, also has cascades on 7x7, but you swap the stones yourself, only straight lines of three pay and balloons hold the multipliers.

The Quantum Leap meters
Every win in a Reactoonz round charges the Quantum Leap meters, five of them, one after the other. A full meter puts a random feature in a queue, and the queue only fires once no cascade is left. Nothing drains the meters before that round is done.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Implosion | Turns 3 to 6 symbols into wilds and destroys all adjacent symbols |
| Alteration | Picks one one-eyed symbol and turns every matching symbol into another one |
| Demolition | Destroys all one-eyed symbols and their matches |
| Incision | Cuts a wild into the centre and draws two diagonal lines of one random symbol |
| Gargantoon | After all 5 meters: a 3x3 wild that becomes two 2x2 wilds, then nine 1x1 wilds |
| Dead-spin wilds | On a non-winning first drop, Gargantoon may drop 4 to 8 wilds |
| Fluctuating symbol | One one-eyed symbol per spin; when it wins it leaves 2 wilds |
Paraphrased from the game help page the Play'n GO demo launcher links to (gameid 333). The help page states no RTP.
The first few spins of Reactoonz are hard to follow, with aliens everywhere. The game picks one of the one-eyed aliens every spin and marks it; when that symbol wins, two wilds stay behind. And on a spin with no win at all, Gargantoon can drop four to eight wilds onto the grid.
Where you can play it
Stake doesn't carry Reactoonz, or at least BonusHunt's per-game data for Stake has no Play'n GO titles in it at all. That leaves other casinos, where each one picks the RTP setting.
| Setting | RTP | Points below the default | Long-run return per 100 staked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Default | 96.51% | 0 | 96.51 |
| 2 | 94.51% | 2.00 | 94.51 |
| 3 | 91.49% | 5.02 | 91.49 |
| 4 | 87.50% | 9.01 | 87.50 |
| 5 | 84.51% | 12.00 | 84.51 |
Settings from SlotCatalog; the gap and return columns are our own arithmetic. Reactoonz 2 defaults to 96.2% with settings down to 84.2%, and its max win is 5,083x (Bigwinboard, SlotCatalog).
A cascade in Pop Parade
Pop Parade's cascade keeps going after your swap until no new line forms. A balloon only counts if its stone breaks during that. If it's still stuck when the board stops, it pays nothing.
