The Bomb

Let’s admit it, humans do like to watch things get blown apart by dynamite, as long as those things are not their belongings. This guilty pleasure has led to the creation of TV shows which feature crazy experiments, and now we even have a video slot for it! 

The developers at Hacksaw Gaming take us to the desert to experience The Bomb, a video slot that features all kinds of explosives. The game is part of their Pocketz series, which features titles that are optimized for mobile phones. 

Theme

The reels are placed somewhere in the middle of the desert, but we can see on either side cliffs that resemble the famous Grand Canyon. In fact, the banjo background music adds a certain Western feel to the whole thing, you could imagine you’re waiting for a stagecoach loaded with cash to pass by. 

The graphics are in line with what we have previously seen in the Pocketz series, with cartoon-like symbols and a jolly colourful feel overall. As for the sound effects, you have to be prepared for plenty of different explosions! 

Betting Options and Functions

The game is played on a 5x5 grid, with 9 regular pay symbols available. Winning combinations can be formed by clusters of at least 5 matching symbols. Every win will be followed by a cascade, as the winning cluster disappears and other symbols drop in the respective tiles. 

The betting range spans from 20 cents per spin to 100 euros, good enough for any type of player. The return to player percentage is a bit low at just 95.17, but the game features a jackpot which can be worth up to 1 million euros! 

Features

While the symbols keep exploding and cascading, you will have to keep an eye out for the TNT Boxes! These can appear randomly on every spin, and when the cascade stops the box will explode to remove all adjacent symbols and create a fresh chance to win. 

Above the reels you will see a meter that is responsible for triggering the Mr Bomb feature. Each winning combination will add something to the meter, and when it becomes full you will receive a great prize worth 500 times the stake! 

The Scatter symbol is what you will value most in this game, though, as it’s the only one that can take you to the potentially lucrative Bonus Game. Three Scatters on screen will trigger the feature, which includes multipliers and jackpot symbols. 

If you are lucky enough to get 5 Jackpot symbols on screen during the bonus game you will win the jackpot worth 1 million euros! 

Conclusion

The Bomb is another entertaining and creative video slot from Malta-based company Hacksaw Gaming, it packs a potentially life-changing jackpot and plenty of exciting features and mechanics. 

We could say that other games in the Pocketz series might look better and even give away larger jackpots, but overall this slot is definitely worth a try if you want to have a fun and rewarding experience.
