Contents
Introduction
La Bomba is a 5 reel, 25 payline slot that has a strong Mexican theme. We follow Guadalupe as she plays with bombs and tries to wake up the sleepy town on the reels. Keep collecting those bombs to trigger free spins and earn even bigger payouts. It’s time to don your sombreros and ponchos because this siesta is only just beginning.
Overall Theme
This game is reminiscent of the Spinata Grande demo slot. It’s set in a sleepy village called San Perezoso and the entire story is centred around Guadalupe. The backdrop consists of the town where the reels are set. All of the visuals are cartoonish and symbols include a cactus, powder kegs, bells, dynamite, cherry bombs and even Molotov Cocktails.
RTP & Volatility
NextGen never disclosed the RTP of this slot. However, professional slots players have estimated it to be between 95.3% and 96% which is pretty average for the gaming industry. It also has a low volatility, although when we played we would say it’s on the higher end of the low variance scale as wins aren’t easily achieved.
How to Play La Bomba
The way that La Bomba is set out is much different to your normal slots game. All of the controls are set on a circle display instead of a bar along the bottom of the screen. Below we’ll give you a brief overview of what each of the controls does.
1. At the top and bottom of the circle control panel there are coins with a plus and minus symbol next to them. You can use these buttons to increase or decrease your bet amount.
2. Clicking the three lines on the right-hand side of the panel will open up the settings menu where you can change your audio or view the paytable.
3. The two arrows on the left-hand side is the autospin feature that allows the reels to spin on their own.
4. Pressing the play button on the centre of the panel will set the reels spinning.
Payouts & Bet Sizes
Bets start out at 0.25 coins per spin and go all the way up to 625 coins on the 25 fixed paylines. There are various symbols in La Bomba that are worth different amounts of coins. Below is a quick overview of each of the payouts for landing five of these symbols across a payline.
Cactus - 200x multiplier for 5 of a kind
Venus fly trap - 200x multiplier for 5 of a kind
Bell - 250x multiplier for 5 of a kind
Guadalupe - 500x multiplier for 5 of a kind
Bomb - 75x multiplier for any 3 landing on the reels
Wilds & Free Spins
When it comes to bonus features, La Bomba isn’t exactly exploding with excitement. There’s the wild symbol and a chance to win some free spins but that’s all.
Wild Symbols
The wild symbol is represented by the ‘Bomba’ - the bomb. You can make winning combinations using this symbol as it substitutes in for adjacent symbols apart from the scatter. The place where it’s most useful is in the free spins round if you manage to land it on the second, third or fourth reels. You can also land three of the wild symbols on any reel to earn a 75x multiplier on your stake.
Free Spins
This is the only bonus round featured in the game. When you land three of the bomb symbols on the middle reels you will automatically receive 5 free spins. It is a strange free spins mode in the way that the multipliers work. The amount you win when the feature is triggered is placed above the second reel. Double this amount goes above the third reel. The tripled amount goes above the fourth reel.
In order to get one or all of these amounts you will need to land a wild symbol on one of the central reels during your five free spins. If you manage to land two more wilds you will receive an extra free spin. Landing all three of the wild symbols again gives you two more free spins. Keep landing those bomb wilds and the feature will keep retriggering.
Our Verdict
La Bomba had a lot of potential but without another bonus round there isn’t much to be said for the slot. All of the action centres around the free spins bonuses. However, this feature is triggered often enough and adds generous multipliers of 5x to 250x your stake if you manage to hit the right combinations.
The game itself is simplistic and the fun wears off pretty quickly. At the end of the day this slot isn’t going to please the high rollers but may be suitable for new online slots players.
