ABOUT
Boom by Twist Gaming doesn’t bother easing you in. From the first spin, it’s clear this one is built around destruction, not decoration. Instead of chasing lines or clusters, you’re essentially clearing the board with weapons and getting paid for what survives, or more accurately, what doesn’t.
The whole idea revolves around “Weapon Pays,” where a separate reel decides how the grid gets wiped. Pistols, rockets, flamethrowers, it’s less about matching symbols and more about how efficiently you can erase them. Every spin feels like a setup for impact, not a slow build.
It runs on a 5-reel layout with high volatility and a 97% RTP, so while the base spins can feel uneven, the upside is always lurking. And with a max multiplier hitting 10,000x, it’s clearly aiming at players who don’t mind a bit of chaos if the payoff is there.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Boom keeps the betting side clean and flexible. The controls are straightforward, and the pace stays quick, especially if you’re using turbo or autoplay.
Where things really shift is in the mechanics.
Instead of traditional paylines, every spin activates a weapon that targets symbols in its own way. Sometimes it’s a simple cleanup, like a pistol picking off a few random symbols. Other times, it escalates fast, with rockets blowing out sections of the grid or the BFG clearing everything in sight and collecting the full value of all 25 positions.
Multipliers come into play through special symbols that can land before the destruction starts. Once triggered, they stack and apply to the total value of everything wiped in that spin. If multiple multipliers get caught in the same sequence, they’re added together before being applied, which is where things can spike unexpectedly.
Free Spins Feature
Land 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols to trigger the Free Spins round, where the game starts to open up:
- 3 Bonus symbols → 8 Free Spins
- 4 Bonus symbols → 10 Free Spins
- 5 Bonus symbols → 12 Free Spins
During Free Spins, a progression system kicks in and upgrades the gameplay as you go:
- Destroying symbols fills a level meter, pushing you through multiple upgrade stages
- Each level-up grants +3 extra Free Spins, extending the round
- Lower-value symbols and weaker weapons are gradually removed from the pool
- Stronger weapons like Rocket Launcher and BFG appear more often at higher levels
- Health Pack symbols can drop in and award additional spins
- The longer the feature runs, the more consistent and dangerous the weapon pool becomes
By the later levels, you’re no longer relying on small clears, everything is geared toward bigger hits and full-board destruction potential.
There’s also a set of Bonus Buy options if you don’t feel like waiting:
- Trigger Boost (3x) – better odds of reaching Free Spins
- All or Nothing (100x) – high-risk feature play
- Bonus (150x) – instant entry into Free Spins
- Super Bonus (300x) – starts at a higher upgrade level
Each one changes the pacing completely, especially the higher-tier buys where the volatility jumps even further.
Roshtein’s Take
This one’s not trying to be subtle. It’s loud, unpredictable, and built around moments where everything lines up and the screen just gets wiped clean.
I like that it doesn’t pretend to be something else. You’re not grinding for small wins here, you’re waiting for the right weapon, the right setup, and then hoping it all connects in one go. When it does, it feels great. When it doesn’t, well, you’re spinning again pretty quickly.
The bonus is where it really gets interesting. Once the weaker weapons start disappearing and the stronger ones take over, it stops feeling random and starts feeling dangerous, in a good way. That’s when you know you’re one spin away from something big.
Would I play it for a long session? Probably depends on the mood. But if I’m chasing a hit and want something that can flip fast, Boom definitely delivers that kind of energy. And honestly, this feels like Twist Gaming at its most confident, taking a simple idea, pushing it hard, and letting the chaos do the talking.
