Every Bomb that lands here blows itself and its neighbours into Wilds before the line count, and on spin 6 one such block pushed a Cherries line to 21.4x the 7.20 stake. The Red Hot Firepot side game, which the Fire Pot switch pays extra to chase, stayed dark for all 310 spins.
Gamomat has opted to build this one in the same style as numerous other online slots. Wins pay for three, four or five matching symbols on a payline, counted from left to right. Its arrangement includes 5 reels and 3 rows, and a fine part about it though, is that it also integrates a total of 10 fixed paylines for you to win on. The line bet runs from 0.01 to 10.00. You’ll also be able to pick from a decent range of bet options, where you’re able to choose from wagers between 0.30 and 100 credits per spin. This session was played at 0.70 per line across the 10 lines with Fire Pot switched on, for a total bet of 7.20.
Symbols begin with standard fruit entries in Cherries, Lemon, Orange and Plum. Three of any of those four fruits on a line return 0.5x the stake, and four return 1x. Each of these is able to boost your stake by up to 5 times your stake. In the session, 40 of the 72 paying spins returned less than the 7.20 stake. Grapes, the Watermelon and the 7 are also in action as symbols, and with the last of these you’re able to boost your stake by 100 times your stake for a 5 of a kind combo. Five Watermelons pay 25x the stake and five Grapes pay 10x.
All this is quite the plain arrangement, yet it’s got more than just flair on the surface, and within, the game offers some interesting depth with its unique extras, too. Over 310 spins at 7.20, 2,232.00 went in and 877.60 came back, a session return of 39.3%.
There couldn’t conceivably be an Explodiac slot on offer without there being some extra theatre and thrill involved. That is where the Gamomat unique extras come into action with this one, and the first of its additions is really the Bomb Wild symbol. The Bomb is a Wild in its own right and substitutes for the other symbols. As its name suggests, this symbol bursts when it lands. It transforms itself and every neighbouring symbol into Wilds.
That happens before wins are evaluated, and on spin 6 of this session it left a block of Wilds that completed a Cherries line for 154.00, or 21.4x the stake.
The true excitement of this slot, though, stems from the addition of its Red Hot Firepot mechanic, and it’s the three ovens that are able to set off this round. The ovens light up one by one. However, all three of them lighting up will trigger the Fire Pot Draw feature. In the base game one of three Fire Pot levels can be switched on, and each one raises the total bet.
In the Fire Pot Draw, a meter displays figures. The meter spins to reveal them across the boxes. It ascends through six tiers. Each higher Fire Pot level increases the chance that the side game triggers at random after any spin.
The final thing to note is the Gamble feature that this slot includes, which is offered whenever you create a win. It carries you through a Card gamble or a Risk ladder.
Final Minty Score: The Red Hot Firepot did not trigger once in the 310 spins of this session. Of course, it wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable as it is without the addition of its Red Hot Firepot.
