It’s time to dust off the tight old bell-bottom pants, crop tops, jumpsuits and sequin dresses or whatever you see fit. Why? Because Booming Games is bringing disco back, once and for all! At least that’s what I’m expecting from their latest release, the groovy friendly Boogie-Boom slot.
Join me as I make my walk down the stairs and slide out onto the dance floor to join the rest of the gang in this neon-explosion of a game.
Bring your best moves and let’s find out what this night has in store for us.
Booming Games’ Vibrant Night Club
There’s no denying that Booming has put some effort into designing the nightclub to give players the right vibe. The obligatory disco ball is spinning at the top while the DJ keeps spinning records to entertain the crowd. Unfortunately it’s not my type of music so despite the cool outfits, you won’t see me out there until you hear Disco Inferno, by The Tramps.
You’ll be playing on a 7×6 reel setup featuring Cascading Reels with Cluster Pays, Spotlight Wilds, Colossal Symbols and Free Spins. Boogie-Boom requires 5 or more symbols to trigger the Cluster Pays but I’m curious to see what the last 3 features have to offer.
Released: March 2024 | RTP: 95.70% | Variance: High |
Min Bet: 0.20 | Max Bet: 75.00 | Max Payout: 4,000x |
Go Big With Colossal Symbols
At any given time, you could see a Colossal Symbol showing up to have some fun. These can vary between a bigger 3×3 symbol or up to four 2×2 symbols. I’m not sure how much they actually affect the game but you have to admit that they look cool and bring a certain pizzazz.
Turn on the Spotlight Wilds
You could see a cluster of 5-10 Wilds be added to your grid. I don’t think I ever saw that many, at least not at ones, while I played. The Spotlight Wilds are in play during Free Spins as well.
They have a fancy name but I can’t be certain how effective they are.
Buy Bonus Feature
Before I dive into the Free Spins, I wanted to let you know that there is a Buy Bonus feature available. Players who are willing to cough up the 100x your bet that’s needed should consider putting it to use.
Boogie-Boom Free Spins
At first I felt robbed when I landed 3 golden disco ball scatters but didn’t trigger any Free Spins. My preference is for all games to only require 3 but for some reason certain providers insist on needing 4 or more, which honestly can feel a bit off putting at times.
When I finally got the 4 scatters, I was awarded 8 Free Spins, and in a funky club like this, that should be something special, right? Well, in some ways these Free Spins are pretty special.
Take Advantage of the Unlimited Win Multipliers
The reason why they are good is because of the Unlimited Win Multiplier. Right from the start, the feature is activated and you will get a 1x on your first win. For every cascading win after that, or win in general, it will get bigger and bigger.
During my run, I managed to get it all the way up to 20x, which obviously meant I was happy to see a couple of big wins coming in. Bear in mind that I was playing minimum bets but if I hadn’t, my total winnings would have been a lot higher than they were.
Still, I was happy with my Free Spin performance as well as the Free Spins feature in general, which is not always the case. Adding Unlimited Win Multipliers will make ANY Bonus Round a lot more fun. Take notes, providers!
Boogie-Boom – Pass or Play?
This one is interesting but maybe not in the way you think. Without any doubt, Boogie-Boom is a great looking slot. Bright colors and a lively vibe go a long way and it’s more than I can say about many of the other games I review. The symbols are fun as well and everything is on point with the theme.
I’m also happy to say that the Bonus Round was a positive experience and a happy surprise. Even the Cascading Reels added some excitement for once.
However, my issue is that until I managed to trigger the Free Spins, I felt like this slot is just not any fun. Maybe it’s my own fault for getting my hopes up when I first saw the theme, followed by the opening scene.
My gut feeling was – This is not the kind of party I was hoping for. That was also my verdict up until this very second. However, I feel torn because the Bonus Round can make or break your own experience and with a bit of luck, this could be a new favorite for some of you.
Final answer? It’s going to have to be a pass for me but if you’re looking for a different kind of theme and a change of scenery, I think you should give it a go and see how you feel.
Where Can I Play Boogie-Boom?
The official release date for Boogie-Boom is not until April 11th, BUT the game is already available at BitStarz.
