How To Play Big Bang Boom Mobile Slot
The NetEnt Big Bang Boom slot gives a 4×4 256 ways to win game that increases up to 10 rows high or 10,000 ways to win. It certainly brings the bang, with will it boom your wallet?
The Big Bang Boom mobile slot is an expanding reel game where every win explodes the touching stone area around it. You can find up to 8 bombs in the base game and 9 in the free spins, all aimed at opening up the game and providing bigger wins.
In the base game, you get that via the paying symbol. In the free spins, you get 1x sticky multipliers that double each time a bomb explodes. Big Bang Boom is one of the higher volatility NetEnt slots with a high RTP of 96.7% and a decent win of 4,300x your bet.
However, it’s an unusual game in that the paytable doesn’t pay out much, but if you can get to the free spins, you’ll see yourself close to that top win. But even then, you’ll need to unlock the full 8 reels and 10 rows of sticky wins and bombs to get anywhere close – it’s not an easy feat.
How the bombs and the expanding reels work
When a symbol is adjacent to a wall and is part of the win, the wall piece opens up, and more paying symbols drop down to replace the winning symbols. You also get direction bombs that destroy either symbols or wall pieces nearby.,
The Big Bang Boom slot has avalanching wins, but only in the sense that the expanding reels open up space to fill up.
The Bombs are the big draw – the more you get, the more you’ll win. But you won’t win much, certainly nothing to shout about.
However, the aim of the slot isn’t to get wins in the base game. It’s to open up the 4 reels to be 10 rows high. Because then you’ll have 6 free spins filled with wins.
The Big Bang Boom slot free spin
You have 4×10 reels, but only 1x multipliers and bombs will land. The bombs will double the multipliers. You can double the multipliers so each one can have a maximum of 2048x.
But wait, didn’t you say the max win of this Big Bang Boom game is only 4,300x your bet? Yeap. I also said that you only get 6 spins.
If you double a 1x multiplier, it only gives you 64x wins in 6 spins and 6 bombs in a row. But as you open up the walls, you can catch bigger multipliers – starting at 64x and even more free spins. It’s not likely you’ll get one to 2048x, never mind more than one, is what we are saying.
Does the Cash Truck slot or the Money Train 4 review do it better? Absolutely. But this is still a fun enough variation of the game that fans of NetEntertainment will certainly have plenty to play for.
