Arcade Bomb

Founded in 2014, “Red Tiger Gaming” is a relatively new company in the gaming software development industry, and despite that, its games are already present in several important online casinos, and “Arcade Bomb” slot is the game that today attracted my attention to become the first game manufactured by this company to pass through my hands.

I think the design of this slot is totally attractive, and its mobile version is also practical and intuitive because of the way in which they have arranged commands and in general all the information of the game.

This slot has not been equipped with bonus rounds or free spins, but instead Red Tiger has incorporated a rather innovative feature called “Reel Bombs” which consists in that they are constantly appearing special symbols with shape of round bombs of 4 different colors on the reels; every bomb appears with a number that starts a countdown that decreases with each spin, and when it reaches zero, the bomb explodes spreading identical regular symbols on its coverage field.

The coverage of bombs is different according to each of the 4 colors, so, once the bomb explodes it covers its own position and the ones located adjacent in vertical, horizontal, both directions, or diagonal corners; but the most exciting aspect of this is that if there are more bombs in the field of coverage of the bomb that explodes, then this other bomb will also explode, and if the kind of symbol spread by bombs is one of the best-paid symbols of the game, then very surely we will get a big win.

Unfortunately, Arcade Bomb is a slot configured with a fairly weak paytable, and additionally, I had the impression that the greater the number of identical symbols spread by the bombs, the lower the quality of that symbol, so that winning in this game has been a challenge for me today.

Today the most productive explosion for me has generated a payout of 30x my total bet, and I also had others with wins between 16x and 22x my total bet; however, the number of non-paid spins in this game is usually high because bombs take up space and they don’t form lines, so that by making balance, today my bets were higher than payouts I received and the result was a loss.

“Arcade Bomb” is a totally fun slot, and today I always had the feeling that at some point I would get a big win that would allow me to recover my losses; it never happened, but I think this game has some potential. Even so, I think that for the moment I can only give it the benefit of the doubt until the day this slot allows me to get my first victory.
