SmartSoft Unveils PopX, a Crash Game on a Slot Board

SmartSoft is bringing together slot structure and crash game mechanics with PopX. The game opens on a traditional slot screen, but its gameplay is built on a distinctive cascading multiplier system. Each cascading combination raises the risk, and the player decides when to close the round.

The company says PopX does not simply borrow elements from existing formats. It has redesigned how those formats can work together. The game gives slot players fast-paced crash gameplay and cash-out decisions within a visual environment they already know. Crash players, in turn, will encounter a slot-style board, cascading combinations and additional multiplier mechanics, offering them a new experience.

For operators, PopX is said to offer the chance to bring together two audiences who prefer different casino game categories. The company states that this could add variety to game lobbies and encourage players to explore categories beyond the ones they usually play.

Luka Kobalia, SmartSoft's CPO, said that since JetX the company has focused on finding new formats in crash games rather than reworking existing ones. PopX will be available to operators from November 2. SmartSoft was founded in 2015 in Tbilisi, Georgia, and is continuing the path it started with JetX in 2018 through PopX.
