Game Overview
Damn, Booming Games, you really are booming with this one isn’t you! This game scared the life out of me the first time I loaded it – the volume was on fairly loud I guess, and in my world, that means everybody on the floors above and below is currently wondering why somebody is shouting “STICKY BOMBS!!!!”. I hope that doesn’t lead to any trouble…! Sticky Bombs is a 20-pay line game with a 95.8% RTP, but the maximum win was harder to nail down. A couple of sources have stated 1,445x your stake already, however, and whilst I am always dubious about trusting certain websites with things like this, it seems about right after I have finished testing the game.
The paytable helpfully fills us in on what we can expect from this game – a random bonus reel modifier which can only include high-paying, wild, or scatter symbols. The same mod is duplicated in the free spin bonus round, although the paytable doesn’t indicate any differences between the normal mode and this one. The free spin feature includes sticky wild symbols – a personal favourite – although sadly they do not cover all five reels in this game.
Do you fancy getting caught up in a sticky bomb-like situation yourself? If so, our free demo slot of Sticky Bombs from Booming Games is almost certainly the safest way to do so. It’s a whole lot more fun than time travelling back to the Vietnam war.
Sticky Bombs Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Whilst “sticky bomb” for me conjured up images of bombs filled with Napalm, there is more to this expression than meets the eye. The “sticky bomb”, otherwise known as the “Hand Grenade – Anti Tank Weapon 74” was, in fact, a British-made weapon deployed during the second world war. What did I say about coming back to demoslots.com whenever you needed to learn some new facts for the bar quiz?
The Brits handed these things out to Canadian soldiers, Australian Army units, and even the French Resistance. As a portable demolition device, I guess you could say that the sticky bomb was almost a predecessor to modern plastic explosive such as C4. The sticky bomb achieved its high efficacy by spreading a layer of sticky, semi-liquid nitro-glycerine over the local area prior to exploding. I’m not sure how much of this is relevant to the Sticky Bombs slot game, but… now you know.
At the top of the paytable sits the wild symbol at 50x your stake for a full line of five-of-a-kind. After this, Booming Games has a helpful habit of dividing their paytables into “Major” and “Minor” symbols – arguably much more useful titles than the older “Picture” and “Royal” monikers. The top major symbol in Sticky Bombs online slot is a red perfume bottle (come on, tell me that isn’t what you thought too), though interesting, whilst five-of-a-kind of these pays 25x your stake there is also a double symbol showing two bottles which pays 37.5x your stake for a unique six-of-a-kind combination.
The games second highest-paying symbol is a perfume purple bottle that bears a striking resemblance to the actual Anti-Tank Weapon No. 74 mentioned in the previous paragraph. If this was deliberate, I would have expected them to make this the top symbol, so this has an air of mysteriousness to it. Nevertheless, 17.5x your stake for a full line of these ones. The green bottle pays 15x for five-of-a-kind, whilst the blue one returns 12.5x. It’s interesting to see all the prizes clustered so closely together – not to mention the fact that there is nothing at all to suggest that these are, in fact, bombs.
Setting your stake can be done in two ways whilst playing Booming’s Sticky Bombs slot game. If you just want to nudge your bet up or down a little bit from spin to spin, plus and minus buttons located either side of your current stake in the bottom left corner make this an easy task. On the other hand, the stack of coins symbol located directly above your balance will show another screen that allows you to choose from all the possible bet sizes. In the Sticky Bombs slot game, this is a minimum of €0.20 and a maximum of €200.00 per spin.
Base Game & Modifiers
The reel area in Sticky Bombs video slot is always a regular five by three area, but tweaks such as the doubled up top symbol – allowing for six-of-a-kind in certain situations – does make the game feel a little bit quirkier and more unusual at times. At its heart, however, this is a regular 20-pay line online slot with a high level of volatility.
Random Bonus Reel Modifier
This special reel can activate at random both during the base game and also during the free spin bonus round as well. You will see a ring of fire appear around the central reel, and almost all of the regular symbols will be removed from the reel strip in addition to two new symbols being added – a 2x wild symbol and the special doubled up top symbol which can allow you to hit six of a kind. Sadly, because the 2x multiplier wild and the double top symbol both only appear in this one special circumstance, it is not possible to hit both at the same time.
Sticky Bombs Slot Free Spins Feature
The scatter symbol in this game only appears on reels one, three, and five, so you there is no possibility of hitting additional scatters for extra benefits such as extra free spins. The scatter also has no pay out attached to it either – something which is becoming very common among modern slot releases.
I love sticky wild bonus rounds – this has been my favourite type of free spin feature ever since the first time I hit a huge win on Dead or Alive, hitting nearly €350 despite a measly €0.09 cent bet. Unfortunately, the sticky wilds free spins in Sticky Bombs video slot aren’t quite as generous as the version used in NetEnt’s all-time-classic Wild Western slot.
The biggest issue is the fact that any wilds which happen to land on the third reel during this feature do not lock in place. Wilds landing on the other four reels do remain sticky for the duration of the bonus round, however this is achieved by catching extra scatters during the free spins. Each scatter which lands grants either one or two extra spins, but the more sticky wilds you have locked in place, the less spaces are available to win extra spins.
Just one more thing… remember the random bonus wheel modifier we mentioned earlier on? This can also be triggered during the bonus round, and it just so happens to only occur on reel three; the same reel that the sticky wilds do not land on! This balances things out somewhat, as you can hit a 2x multiplier wild – even if it is not sticky – or a six-of-a-kind regular symbol combination with the help of this specific setup, when you are lucky enough to catch it.
Sticky Bombs Slot Review Final Thoughts
I’ve yet to see a real stinker from Booming Games, and Sticky Bombs isn’t about to change that. Would I prefer it if the sticky wilds could land on all five reels during the bonus round? Sure, I would… but the way things work here is far from terrible. I can see myself playing this one a whole lot in the future.
