Booming Seven Slots
Video slot games have numerous possibilities to take players into another universe.
Be it with stunning graphics or an original universe, they can make you forget your routine for a little while and take you very far away, sometimes outside of your comfort zone, so much so that you might forget that you are simply playing a slot machine.
But sometimes, developers prefer to bet on old-school elements and a more back-to-basics approach. This is the case with Booming Seven, a game developed by Booming Games, producers of titles such as Arabia, which takes players back to the casino. And if that sounds like a trip you would like to take, read on to find out more about all you need is to know to make the best out of Booming Seven!
It’s Booming Retro
As mentioned previously, Booming Seven takes place in an old-school casino and the developers have tried their best to emulate its atmosphere.
You will be playing on what looks like an actual slot machine, complete with a lever on the side and large buttons at the bottom. The background of the game shows the inside of a land-based casino, with a flashy and slightly out-of-fashion rug and other machines lined up in the distance.
The music that plays throughout the game is rather uninspired, and perhaps a little annoying to be perfectly honest. Nothing that the settings cannot take care of, as we will review in the next section.
It’s Booming Straightforward
Booming Seven lets you customise your gaming experience in the same way most video slot games do.
You have three reels and nine paylines to bet on, which is less than with more modern games but fits the old school theme of Booming Seven. You can use the (+) and (-) buttons on the left-hand side of the game screen to adjust the amount of your bet. The Gear icon in the top left-hand corner takes you to the settings menu, where you can also modify the amount of your bet per line and the number of paylines activated. Keep in mind that the size of the cash rewards you will land depends on both the type of symbols that line up on activated paylines and the size of your bet itself. So you need to take risks if you want to win big at Booming Seven! The Max Bet button is also there to let you go all-in with a single click.
After each winning spin, you have the option to Gamble your last payout by clicking the corresponding button at the bottom of the game screen. In the mini game that ensues, your task is to choose a type of fruit and let the reels spin. If your choice appears on screen, your wins are double. Remember that making a mistake will end the mini game and take away your winnings at the same time! But if you would rather play without any interruptions, simply use the Autoplay function to setup a certain number of automatic spins, while keeping your other settings constant.
What’s On The Menu?
As is most old-school slot games, Booming Seven focuses on the value of combinations instead of single symbol.
As such, the paytable features five different combinations of symbols. This is not a lot, especially when you know that each combination actually corresponds to three identical symbols lined up on an activated payline.
This apparent lack of originality is confirmed after looking at the symbols themselves: Bells, Pineapples, Cherries, Lemons and Oranges. While you will feel right at home if you are all about classic games, other players might be disappointed by this rather unoriginal choice of reel symbols. Fortunately, we have two more special symbols to review.
It’s Booming Rewarding
Classic slot games usually do not feature special symbols, but Booming Seven does indeed.
The Red Seven symbols act as a Scatter, which means that they trigger a reward regardless of their position on the reels. You need three of them anywhere on screen to land both a cash reward and some Free Spins!
The Gold Bars are Wild in Booming Seven, indicating that they can substitute for any other symbols besides the Red Sevens. They are perfect to create some extra winning combinations across the reels, and with three or them or more the two-way pay feature is activated; for the next ten spins, your winning combinations will pay from the left and from the right, indifferently. That means twice as many chances at winning big!
It’s A Booming Grower
Booming Seven has a slow start, with a rather classic atmosphere and uninspired set of reel symbols. However, the special features added on top make it stand out in this niche category. A game worthy of your attention!
