Sticky Bombs - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Sticky Bombs Slot Review

When working in the lab late one night, a mad professor produced a formula that has the power to make wild symbols sticky. The result is the eminently playable Sticky Bombs from Booming Games. 

Played on a 5-reel grid with 3 rows and 20 always-on paylines, Sticky Bombs is a feature-rich title with potentially incredibly lucrative free spins.

Watch out for the professor scatter symbol, who triggers these free spins. Landing 3 on the reels provides you with 10 free spins that can be increased by landing further professor symbols on the reels during the feature. What makes the free spins lucrative is the fact that all wilds on the reels remain in place for the entire feature.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

While the graphics in this title are not the greatest in quality, the animations and symbols have a quirky nature that should endear themselves to most players.

Animations are smooth, whilst the flames that belch from the burner in the middle of the reels show that a random bonus reel is emerging, and the reels condense if 3 scatters become likely during a spin. These little touches help players know that something special could happen.

The soundtrack is a suitably epic affair, helping to build anticipation and immersion in the gameplay.

Sticky Bombs RTP and Variance

The long-term average RTP of Sticky Bombs is set at 95.8%, which is slightly below the average rate for these titles. On average, you would expect an online slot's RTP to be 96%. The high volatility means that there are some massive wins on offer, but with these increased potential rewards, there are massively elevated risks.

How to Play Sticky Bombs

Sticky Bombs Bonus Features

During the core gameplay, a random bonus reel may appear, including a mixture of the special symbols. These symbols are the wild and wild multiplier, scatter symbol and double red flask.

Landing three professor scatter symbols will land 10 free spins, which can be added to during the feature by landing further professor symbols on the reels. During free spins, the professor symbols have numbers to denote how many free spins they add.

During free spins, all wilds that land on reels 1, 2, 4 and 5 will remain in place for the rest of the feature. 

The wild multiplier symbol will double all wins it helps to achieve during free or core spins.

Sticky Bombs Review Our Verdict

Core gameplay in Sticky Bombs is fine, as are the graphics and animations, but it is during free spins that this title truly comes into its own. During the free spins feature, players get the chance to win big thanks to the sticky wild symbols.
