Bompers, by ELK Studios, is the third slot game they have produced that uses their gravity mechanic. Set on a background of a pinball machine, the game grid lies between two pinball bumpers. This slot has an unusual setup, with 6 reels that are staggered, and anything from 4 to 8 rows. When play starts, 24 classic-themed symbols drop onto a 6x4 grid, offering players 4,096 ways to win. The grid can expand all the way up to a 6x8 grid offering 262,144 ways to win and includes numerous bonus features that offer a maximum win potential of 5000x your bet. The betting range varies from 0.20 to 100 credits.
What Bompers is All About
As mentioned above, this Bompers slot has several bonus features. These greatly enhance the gameplay experience for players. First up is the Avalanche feature, which helps to create continuous winning combinations in the base game. Next is the Bombers feature. In the base game, up to 5 Bompers can appear and will become wilds if their Bomper metres are filled. The Mystery Bomb feature, which can land at random during the base game, turns all connecting symbols into the same random symbol. The Shooting Star feature creates a random combination of 7 symbols that always includes three wilds. Finally, landing three bonus symbols triggers the Free Drops Bonus game. In addition, this slot is the first to feature Elk Studios’ innovative X-iter option. Here players can buy one of five predefined modes, including a Buy Bonus.Avalanche and Bomper Features
Using the gravity mechanic, the icons drop from the top of the grid onto the initial 6x4 setup. Landing at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1, will give you a win. These symbols then explode off the reel and the remaining symbols roll down to fill the empty spaces. The grid acquires an extra row and an avalanche of new symbols drops down. This cycle continues until no new winning combinations are formed. During this base game, up to five Bomper symbols can appear at random on the grid. These are sticky and stay in the same place on the grid throughout any Avalanches. Whenever a Bomber is hit by another symbol, this starts to fill its Bomber metre. Once full, that Bomber transforms into a sticky wild.The Mystery Bomb and Shooting Star Features
The Mystery Bomb icon can appear anywhere on the grid at random. Whenever this symbol appears, it changes all the connecting symbols around it into the same identical symbol. This is chosen at random. Furthermore, if two or more Mystery Bomb symbols appear close enough together that their transformed symbols overlap, then all overlapping symbols become wilds. The Shooting Star icon also appears at random on the grid, starting at the bottom. The Shooting star feature sees this icon attempt to travel up through the grid during avalanche wins. If it reaches the top row before the avalanche cycle ends, then it transforms itself into a paying icon and shoots out 6 new symbols. Three of these are always wilds. These two features can both help to create new winning combinations.The Free Drops Bonus and X-iter Feature
Landing at least three of the Bonus icons triggers this slot's last special feature — the Free Drops feature. Seven Free Drops are awarded and up to five Bompers will appear on the reels. Just as in the base game, these Bompers are sticky. Similarly, filling the Bomper metre turns them into sticky wilds. These wilds can replace all symbols except the Mystery Bomb, Shooting Star, and Bonus symbols to help create winning combinations. Landing three additional Bonus symbols during this feature will re-trigger the Free Drops feature. Finally, Bompers is the first slot to incorporate Elk Studios innovative X-iter feature. Here, on each spin players can choose one of 5 pre-set modes. They are a standard spin costing 1x the bet, 3, 5 or 10 Free Drops and a Bonus Buy. Each comes with a cost.Bompers Summary
In summary, Bompers is one of the most entertaining slot games available online. Elk Studios has given the classic fruit theme an innovative pinball machine twist complete with a complimentary soundtrack. Using the gravity drops mechanic, each Avalanche cycle offers the potential for continuous wins. However, it's the bonus features that set this slot apart. Sticking with the pinball theme is the Bompers feature, its sticky wilds creating more potential wins. The Shooting Star and Mystery Bomb features also offer players plenty of winning potential. While the Free Drops Bonus feature with sticky wild bompers is triggered, players could see the maximum win of 5000x their bet if all 8 rows are active. So step into the world of pinball with Bompers.
