Bompers

Are you ready to enter this 6-reeled online slot and start some epic high-speed pinball action introduced by the innovative ELK Studios' team of designers?

Everything about this online release is unique and innovative, so punters get to experience the developer's own Gravity mechanic introduced not so long ago, complemented by some amazing features like Bomper Wilds and X-iter Modes!

On top of that, fans of classic-style online games will be thrilled to hear that all of these bonuses are combined with their favorite juicy fruit symbols and a maximum prize of 5000x the stake!

Theme and Symbols

Although this is the third take of the ELK's Gravity Series, it is the first one using the X-iter modes and a combination of simple but modern graphics!

The disco-styled background features a mix of two colors – purple and blue – adorned with various shapes and an impressive set of animations!

It comes with a simple theme, so you should not expect plenty of details. However, that does not mean this online slot machine does not feature pretty HQ graphics!

The reels are represented by different types of classic symbols, mainly fruits, such as cherries, lemons, oranges, and watermelons, followed by clovers, horseshoes, bars, and sevens. 

There are also Wild, Bomper, Shooting Star, and Bomb symbols, but, we'll come to them later. 

Betting Options and Other Functions

The developer undoubtedly created another retro-fruit machine in modern design that will attract even the newest punters.

When it comes to placing your wagers, you will have an option to play with a minimum of 0.2, going up to 100 credits on each line, making this online game suitable for all types of punters.

There are from 4096 up to 262144 pay lines in play, and you also have a chance to click an Autoplay option and enjoy the spinning fruits and lucky symbols.

The theoretical return to player percentage for this high-volatile online game is slightly below-average, with 95.8%, while the hit rate stands at 19.9.

The lucky seven is the most valuable symbol, paying 20x the stake for 6 in a combo, while the flaming W icon is the Wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols except mystery bombs, shooting stars, and bonus symbols.

Special Features

This fruit-themed online slot is named after one of its special Wild symbols.

The first is the regular Wild that substitutes for other regular symbols of the game, while the second is the Bomper Wilds that has the ability to randomly trigger the Bomper Wilds feature.

During each of the spins, you can have 5 Wild Bompers drop on the reels, and when that occurs, they remain sticky. 

Now, here's the kicker!

Every time other symbols bump these symbols, either from dropping in or by the gravity effect, they fill the Bomper's meter. Once filled, the meter turns the Bomper symbol into a sticky wild that remains during an Avalanche sequence. 

Speaking of the Avalanche/Cascading wins, all of the symbols that were part of a winning combo will be removed, with new ones landing in their places, with each Cascading win increasing the number of pay lines that start at 4 rows and 4,096 and go up to 8 rows and 262,144 win lines!

Now, pay attention to the Mystery bombs as they can trigger at the end of an Avalanche sequence by transforming themselves and all connecting symbols into a randomly chosen identical symbol. 

If two or more Mystery Bombs go off and overlap, all overlapping symbols turn Wild. 

The shooting star represents another special symbol, and it moves all around the grid. If it manages to get to the top, it will create a mixed group of seven symbols, three of which are guaranteed to be Wilds!

The last special symbol is the one with the letter B on it, acting as the Scatter and triggering the Free Drops feature.

You will need three of these symbols, in which case you will be awarded 7 free drops that you can later retrigger!

But, wait, there's more!

Before these bonus drops start, you will get up to 5 Bompers randomly placed on the grid, while the sticky Wilds will remain in place for the full duration of the bonus game!

Last but not least, we should mention the innovative X-iter feature that debuts in this online game!

This is actually a list of different modes that you can choose to activate for different stake options: a base mode where you spin for the regular stake, 25x the stake that guarantees you three symbol drops with an increasing number of Bompers, 50x the bet with five drops and 300x the bet with ten symbol drops!

Lastly, you can also purchase the bonus round for 100x your stake!

Verdict

All things considered, this is an excellent online game that will definitely enrich the ELK Studios' list of games, thanks to its perfect mix of modern-looking retro theme and a pack of numerous fantastic bonus features!

Up to 262,144 ways to win, Cascading Wins, two types of Wild symbols, and the never-seen X-iter Modes feature are more than enough to put this online game on your list to try it out!
