Bompers

Bompers Slot Machine Review

We spent many happy hours playing this game, the idea being that we’d find out enough to write this Bompers slot machine review. However, we loved it so much that we ended up spending rather longer on it than we intended! Still, we have very happy memories of it and like to load this game up for another blast whenever we get the chance. We’re very confident that after reading what we’ve found out you’ll be just as fired up and will want to give it a try.

Bompers Theme
The Bompers screen is laid out in standard landscape format, split evenly and vertically into 3 segments with the game played in the centre. Flanking it to either side are pinball-style designs, which match the game mechanics nicely as wild symbols become temporarily sticky and act as fixed obstacles that that any cascading balls will roll over when winning lines below them disappear. 

Generally speaking, the theming is populist, with lots of primary colours, purples and pinks, and glowing neon. It’s an online slots equivalent of a Saturday night TV extravaganza and will please all players no matter what their individual niche tastes happen to be. 

Betting Options 
Bets start out at $0.20 per spin, though if you want to win some serious cash you’ll need to bet more, with various of options available right up to $100. 

To set your bet level, just click the button in the bottom right corner and all available options will be clearly marked for you. You can also select autoplay options if you want to stick at the same bet level for more than one spin at a time. 

Bonus Features
Before we talk about the bonus features, the base game is a phenomenon in its own right, and when we were putting our Bompers review together we felt it deserved its own paragraph! There are between 4 and 8 rows, and 6 reels rather than the usual 5. However, thanks to the unique Avalanche bonus system, each win can add another row until no new wins are made – get the maximum of eight rows and you’ll find that there are 262,144 ways to win active. That‘s fairly mind-blowing stuff for an online slot that wouldn’t look out of place as a strategy-based play-for-fun app on a smartphone. 

Wins are assisted by the Bomper bonus symbol, denoted with the letter ‘W’. Up to 5 of these bonus symbols can be found before any spin, and if a standard symbol avalanches onto a Bomper, it’s collected in a meter, which – once full – will turn that Bomper symbol into a sticky wild for any subsequent avalanches. 

If, however, you land a Mystery Bomb symbol, any symbols attached to it will be converted into a Mystery Bomb symbol with any overlapping symbols turning into wilds. 

Next up comes the amazing Shooting Star feature: Should you accumulate the maximum 8 rows of symbols, any Shooting Star symbols reaching the top will reward you with a collection of 7 new symbols, with 3 of them guaranteed to be wild. 

Finally, don’t forget the Free Drops (free spin) feature. Land 3 bonus symbols on the same spin and you’re given 7 free spins (or drops, if you prefer), with an impressive 5 Bompers to help you keep winning.  

Bompers Maximum Win
Any single spin is capable of yielding the maximum 5,000x your stake jackpot on this game, which at the $100 bet stake level means a $500,000 payday if the balls drop in your favor. 

Is Bompers Worth Playing and Who Should Play It?
With its universally appealing, tabloid-feel styling and complex, yet instantly accessible feature play this is a game that anyone can enjoy no matter what their level of skill or experience.

If you enjoy games that emulate popular fun apps like Candy Crush or Bejeweled then it should prove particularly appealing; in online slot terms, that would equate it with something like Play‘n GO’s Gemix – another complex game that’s deceptively easy on the eye. 

How To Play & How To Win

Learning how to play Bompers is simple: Just set your bet level and use the spin or autoplay controls to get going. Get a specific combination of symbols on the reels and you’ll win a prize or start a Bompers bonus game.

Knowing how to win on Bompers is not so easy, though, as it uses a regulated random number generator. Your next bonus round could be just one spin away, as could your next Bompers jackpot – you really never know. 

Bompers RTP

There’s a return-to-player figure of 95.80% on this game. The Bompers RTP means that in a typical session you‘d get back $95.80 in winnings for every $100 wagered, though in reality you can expect to win or lose amounts that vary considerably around this statistical average. There is no way to change the Bompers RTP.
