Bomb Blaster - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Under the banner of InTouch Games, Slot Factory is a successful UK game developer. Slot Factory free online slots are always worth checking out, whether they feature adventure, fantasy, historical themes such as Slot Factory's Treasure Tomb slot, or simply adhere to the older traditions of slot machines. Whatever style of free slots game you are looking for, Slot Factory probably has something that fits the bill.

Bomb Blaster has a five-reel four-column grid and 1,024 paylines. The bet size ranges from a minimum of 0.20 to a maximum of 500. There are 11 regular symbols: a lucky seven, an explosion, a bell, a diamond, a bar, a watermelon, a bunch of grapes, a plum, an orange, a lemon and a pair of cherries. The wild is a lit matchstick, the bonus symbol is a bomb, the free spins symbol is the detonator, and the mega mode symbol is a cluster of dynamite.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

Designers of fruit-themed games face quite a challenge. With nothing to form a strong visual foundation, they frequently opt for a casino setting; however, it can be much better to do as Slot Factory has done and go for a completely abstract look. The rising bubbles against an orange and black background is quite mesmeric and more pleasing than a picture of a games room. The reels are plain cream and the images are simply drawn. The music is an electronic riff loop, with the whole presentation hanging together well. When the bombs go off, it makes a nice contrast. On the whole, it is a good example of how to visualise this kind of game.

Bomb Blaster RTP and variance

The RTP of the game is 94.06 per cent, which is well below average. The volatility is not recorded.

How to play Bomb Blaster

1. Click ‘change’ to open the menu for setting the bet. Use the plus and minus signs to adjust the wager.
2. The bet menu is also where you can access autoplay by clicking ‘autospin’. You can’t set the number of auto spins you would like to play or fix any automatic limits. When you want to quit autoplay mode, click the button again. 
3. Click the spin button, which hovers over the reels, to set the reels spinning at the selected stake level. 
4. Click the three-line icon to open the information page. This tells you all you need to know about the various components of the game.
5. The wins pay from left to right. 
6. The wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the bomb, mega mode and free spins.
7. We are supporters of the GambleAware initiative and encourage everyone to gamble responsibly. If you are playing for real money rather than for fun, always stay within your limits. When any game stops being fun, you should walk away.

Bomb Blaster bonus features

Bomb bonus

When the bomb symbol lands, this bonus will be activated. The bomb destroys any symbols directly above it, below it or next to it, eliminating them from the reels before removing itself. New symbols will cascade onto the reels to fill the gaps left. All wins before activation of the bomb are also paid. The symbols that fall to fill the gaps are taken from a different reel set. Bombs will only appear if there are no free spins or mega mode symbols on the screen. Up to five bombs can land on the grid. Bombs will not be placed over other winning symbols. After five cascades, there will be no further bombs on that spin.

Free spins

These are played at the last bet level. They pay in any order wherever they are on the grid. Three symbols award five free spins. In the free spins, the cherry - the lowest paying icon - is removed and a bell is added. During free spins mode, bombs are more likely to land.

Mega mode

Three symbols award three mega mode free spins. In mega mode, the cherry and lemon are removed and replaced by the bell and the lucky seven. During mega mode, bombs are much more likely to land.

Bomb Blaster review: our verdict

As fruit-themed slots go, this is a good creation with its great aesthetics, straightforward gameplay and enough extras to keep your interest. The only real complaints are the lack of auto-stop options in the autoplay menu and the miserly RTP.
