Boom Review

Playtech Origins are a branch of Playtech, and the team already has tens of successful releases to its name. We were quite intrigued when we first heard about the Boom slot, but, truth be told, we weren’t expecting all that much from it. The final result, however, is surprisingly complex and good, so we’re happy that we can take a closer look at it in a full online slot review. We’ll walk you through everything Boom offers, and we’ll start with its playing field, which offers 5 reels, 3 rows and 50 paylines in the base game.

The theme of Boom is all about explosions, and its audiovisuals are all over the place. It’s not bad by any stretch of imagination, and we get what the designers were going for, but some players might consider the graphics to be somewhat messy.

Boom Slot – Reels Screen

Let’s now move onto the slot’s mathematical model. The volatility level is medium here, and the top jackpot is worth 10,000x your bet. The slot’s min bet is then £0.10, while the most you can play for is £450 per spin at select online casinos. Finally, the default theoretical RTP of Boom is 96.59%, which is nicely above average.

You can look forward to 9 standard pay symbols, which are divided into 5 low-paying symbols and 4 high-paying symbols. For low-paying symbols, there are card ranks from Tens to Aces, while their high-paying counterparts show protective glasses, green figurines, cables and even classic bombs.

In addition to pay symbols, there are Wilds, Scatters and Bomb bonus symbols. Wilds are the most straightforward of those, as they work exactly as you’d expect. It’s worth noting, though, that even they come with their own payout values.

Boom Slot – Hold and Respin Feature

Land 3 or more Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature with 8 free spins. During free spins, the middle reel contains only Wilds and Bomb bonus symbols, which improves your chances of getting wins and triggering the Hold and Respin feature.

Find 6 or more Bomb bonus symbols to trigger the Hold and Respin feature, which is Boom’s fresh take on the classic Hold and Win formula. You’ll get 3 respins to start with, and each new special symbol that lands will reset your tally back to 3. Importantly, you can get special Tool symbols that can unlock additional lines, which means that you can play with as many as 9 rows in total.

Unlocking rows 7-9 gets you all kinds of kickers. Regular Bomb symbols on the 7th reel automatically get a 2x win multiplier, while regular Bomb symbols on the 8th reel automatically get a 5x win multiplier. Bomb symbols on the 9th reel are then automatically transformed into Jackpot Bomb symbols (which can also appear organically anywhere on the board), each of which will net you one of the slot’s fixed jackpots. They are called Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, and they are worth 20x, 100x, 500x, and 2,000x your bet, respectively.

Review Summary

All in all, Boom is an excellent online slot that excels on the gameplay side of things, and that is backed up by a very solid math model. Its audiovisuals won’t please everyone, but that’s only a minor detail on the game’s overall resume. The bottom line? If you enjoy explosives and big wins, make sure to give Boom a shot!
