Boomerang Bonanza from Booming Games: Slot Review - have a bonza time!

This latest release from hot software developer Booming Games invites players to join 2 native Australians on a wildlife tour throughout the Australian Outback. The Outback or “the bush” as it is commonly referred to is a dry and arid remote region of Australia that incredibly takes up most of the continent. There are not that many Australia-inspired games out there right now so kudos to Booming Games for creating this unique online slot. The question now remains though, is it actually worth the trip to the land down under?

Boomerang Bonanza is a 4 reel slot with 16 paylines that includes Free Spins, Wild Multipliers, and a Rotator Bonus Game.

Special Features

The first feature to mention is that the game takes place on a 4x4 playing grid with payouts occurring from left to right. This means that 4 of a kind is the highest possible winning combination you can land on the reels unlike the standard 5 of a kind found in most online slots.

The Wild symbol in this game is represented by an image of a bunch of kangaroos with the sun setting in the background. This symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and Special symbols to help form winning combinations on the reels. The Wild symbol is also the most valuable symbol in the game as if you happen to land 4 of these symbols on an active payline then you will be shouting “Crikey!” with a top jackpot prize worth 25,000 coins!

The Scatter symbol is depicted by the letters “SC” with a boomerang placed inside them. Land 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the reels and you will trigger the Free Spins bonus game. In this fun feature, you will receive 10 Free Spins and if you manage to land 3 more Scatters while in Free Spins then you will retrigger this feature and receive a further 10 Free Spins.

The standout feature of the game is the Bonus Rotator Bonus Game. To trigger this feature, you need to land 2 or more Special symbols on the reels. The Special symbol is denoted by a yellow signpost with the word “Bonus” in front of it. Once activated, the Special symbol will transform into a Wild and the reels will rotate at a 90-degree angle to make room for new winning combinations to be formed. The more Special symbols you land then the more Rotations will occur. For example, 3 Special symbols will give you 2 rotations whereas 4 will give you 3 rotations. This means that every spin is potentially worth 4 for the price of one which really boosts your chances of landing a massive cash payout.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game is beautifully designed as it is set in the Outback of Australia on a cloudy day with Ayer’s rock in the distance and a yellow safari jeep and a humorous looking boomerang signpost in the foreground. Symbols are nicely detailed and consist of the male and female guides, a boomerang, kangaroos, and your typical A – 10 icons. The animations are smooth as symbols dazzle brightly when part of a winning payline and I really liked how the background changes to a dark moonlit sky whenever you trigger the Free Spins bonus game.

The music is light and bouncy and full of flute and soft guitar sounds. It ties in really well with the Australia theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 16 paylines, a good RTP of 96.12%, and a fantastic maximum payout worth 3,952X your bet.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.

Our Verdict on Boomerang Bonanza

This game is made by Booming Games and it’s one fun-filled trip to the Outback of Australia. It’s wonderfully produced, is very easy to play, and contains just the right amount of bonus features to keep you spinning for hours on end. I was able to trigger the Free Spins bonus game quite regularly and it’s pleasing that you can retrigger this feature as well. Boomerang Bonanza is all about the lucrative Rotator Bonus Game as it offers the potential to land massive cash prizes and thankfully this feature also triggers quite frequently the more you play. I found this slot to be of Medium variance so you won’t have wait too long walking around the Outback until you bag yourself a nice cash payout on the reels!
