In Bloom Slot

In Bloom is a video slot game from IGT that I gladly play from time to time. The game is all about the flowers and I think that they are really beautifully designed in this slot. There are also plenty of features that always keep me interested and keep me coming back for more. The game does not pay a lot, but there are some small wins on regular basis. I always play this game when I have huge wagering requirements because I know that this exact slot can stretch my bankroll.

In Bloom is a 5 reels and 40 pay lines video slot game. There is no wild in this game which I find it strange and it would be much nicer if there was one. There are 2 special features in this game the In Bloom Line Feature and the Garden Bonus. I have to say that the free spins are my favorite here. There are 4 options you can choose from. The first one is the Poppy Garden which offers 5 free spins, then it is the Rose Garden which offers 8 free spins, the third one is the Calla Lilly Garden which offers 10 free spins and the last one is the Water Lily Garden which offers 12 free spins. Most of the times I choose 5 free spins. To my surprise the poppies come on regular basis and I always end up with a win that is around 40 euros or higher. I tried once to play with 12 free spins but it turned out to be time consuming and not rewarding at all, and I have not tried the other options at all. I know that the Poppy Garden will bring some cash to my balance so I am not even curious about the other ones. In Bloom is a video slot game worth trying and I highly recommend it.

Thinking about one of the good productions of IGT is through a good example of a game called "In Bloom"! Do any of you know the Microgaming games like So much candy, So much sushi and So many monsters? These three are almost like In Bloom where instead of the corresponding 3 themes of candy, sushi or monsters, they are flowers. By far this IGT game is probably one of the best paying ones then NetEnt's Flowers or any of the Microgaming mentionables......Flowers on NetEnt, not for a very long time I will be going back to that!!!

In this colorful flowery garden of sunshine and nature, In Bloom's 40 paylines + feature bet took $0.50 per spin but as I had a big balance of $70 I went on to bet at least 2 coins before moving up to 4! I do not mind the trigger system for this slot for having butterfly symbols on the 3rd reel flying onto other reels because I became majorly occupied in landing delicious line hits on the flowers....I tried my best in hitting them, especially the red poppy symbols that duplicate on it's positions!! They pay the most!

Free spins upon entering is a choice of 4 free spins......4 gardens containing poppies, roses, calla lilies and water lilies were the options given. It was a tough choice but having to pick 5 free spins on red poppies were kind of a rip off for little free spins but just playing through them pretty much was a great experience!!! They were coming out a lot!!! Guess me being skeptical in turn made me into a believer! I was already thinking the free spins would turn cold but this feature was alive and kicking!!!

The music was harmoniously describing itself as Spring finally coming in full turn (a pure Spring season) or a time during which there is a contest in Spring for the best appealing flower to award a 1st prize blue ribbon. A very nature themed song!!! In the other flower-like slots I tried, hitting 2 butterflies is much better than hitting 5 rain clouds on NetEnt's Flowers or 3 scattered theme symbols on the 3 Microgaming themed slots (Candy, Sushi and Monsters). Definitely, In Bloom is a 9 out of 10!!! The music will continue to inspire me to play this more!!!

If you are looking for comments and ratings about "In Bloom" slot on gambling forums and websites, certainly you will find that this is one of the best rated slots between those produced by "IGT", to me it is like a masterpiece, since it combines an attractive design inspired by the colorful flowers and at the same time it’s equipped with some of the strongest and original special features you can imagine.

For start, "In Bloom" is a slot with a layout of 5 x 3 reels and it has 40 paylines, for which you must pay a bet of 50 coins, 40 for the lines and 10 for the feature; the game lacks wild symbol, it has a scatter and 10 standard symbols, of which 4 are high and have pictures of flowers and 6 are low and have images of letters and numbers; the 4 flowers are the most important symbols in the game thanks to a special feature of this slot, and for the same reason is that we see that payouts resulting from combinations formed with characters are almost negligible; this first feature from which I speak is called "Symbol Burst", which is applicable only to the symbols of flowers, and they are in order of importance, poppy, rose, calla lily and water lily; this feature is that when one of these flowers is involved in the formation of some combination, they can bloom up to 5 flowers inside the same square, that is, if you have 2 roses on the same active payline, one on reel 1 and another on reel 2 both flowers may reproduce and eventually you may get a box with 2 roses on reel 1 and another with 3 roses on reel 2, 2 + 3 = 5, so that you would have a combination of 5 of a kind only on reels 1 and 2, that's great; on each of the five reels is allowed a maximum of flowers per frame as follows from left to right: 2-3-5-3-2, so that a complete line formed with the same flowers has a potential up to 15 of a kind.

Now, the other special feature is a round of free spins where you can choose your favorite flower and each has a different number of free spins, which are 5, 8, 10 and 12, the higher the flower’s payout less the number of turns, and personally any of the 4 options is great for me, on all of them I have achieved big wins quite interesting, but the generosity of this game does not end there, since at the end of the free round there is an extra feature called "Bonus Bumb Feature", where you must select one of the insects or flowers enclosed within a circle that will pay you some extra cash. This free round is triggered by getting 2 or 3 scatter symbols identified by having a butterfly over a ball, this symbol only occur on the central reel, and if you only have one scatter you still may be entitled to a free round because it may appear a butterfly flying from the right side of your screen ready to trigger the feature, this is more common than getting more than one scatter on reel 3.

Needless to say how much I like "In Bloom" slot.
