Bombay Slots
Opulence is often seen as a great starting point for any new slot machine. Developer IGT are true loyalists when it comes to releasing slot machines that emphasize the rich and the wealthy, with previous titles such as Cleopatra, Crown of Egypt, and She's a Rich Girl showing this.
Bombay takes us to the historic Indian city, now known as Mumbai in modern culture, where the developer once again flexes its artwork muscles to boast a beautifully stunning slot machine with a 5x5x3x5x5 reel configuration layout.
The 100 pay lines are an immediate stand-out factor that see the average payout win increased above the norm and those of you that enjoyed Stinkin' Rich will be delighted to hear this slot machine uses the successfully proven math model from that very slot machine.
The payback percentage is available between 92.5% and 98% with a maximum bet value up to 2,000 credits and a potential maximum jackpot win of 10,000 credits when considering 1 credit bet per pay-line. This is a high volatility slot machine that will have fans of the IGT slots shivering in their boots with excitement. This is IGT going back to their roots of raw slots gaming that is all about the thrills and the spills so buckle in because you're in for a rough, but thoroughly enjoyable, ride.
Theme
The theme is one that has been common across IGT slot machines in the past with the Asian setting being placed against a wealthy tone. Previous IGT slots releases including Jewel of the Arts and Red Mansions have covered this combination in an equally aesthetically-pleasing manner so if you have played those slots then you will definitely want to climb on board this one.
Asian-themed slots in general do very well with players and throwing in the high volatility will instantly place it amongst the top group of slots that players want to get their hands on when they head into the casino.
IGT do very well to communicate the atmosphere and vibrancy of historic Indian culture in this slot. The inclusion of a striking Indian woman in stunning traditional Indian dress, a sitar, a golden elephant, and rare jewels translate the opulence that is present in this slot's theme. You will be able to smell the wealth when playing this.
Features
Stacked Wilds – The Bombay logo appears as Stacked in a number of reels and this can cause some anarchy on the reels but in a positive way obviously! Big wins can be triggered and the best part is that these Stacked Wilds appear as so on the reels in both base game play and bonus feature play.
Free Spins Bonus Round – Hit three or more Indian lady symbols across the reels and you will trigger this free spins bonus feature. You will be awarded 5 free spins for every line that triggers the free spins and there is the potential to earn up to 325 free spins with re-triggered free spins possible. Due to the Stacked Wilds staying in play during the free spins this can prove to be a very lucrative bonus feature if the right symbols fall.
Jewelry Box Bonus – The second bonus feature on this game becomes active when you hit three or more jewelry box Scatters in any position across reels 3, 4, and 5. It can be triggered during both regular game play and the free spins bonus.
This is where it gets a little complicated. You must select one of the symbols on the reels that triggered the bonus. This will then reveal a cash prize and a multiplier. The two unselected symbols then reveal a cash prize and the total of those values is then multiplied by the multiplier value to give you your total prize for the bonus. If you are confused then do not fear. It can take a couple of attempts at actually playing it before you become accustomed to how it works.
Summary
IGT are masters at delivering slot machines with Stacked Wilds. Titles such as Battleship and the iconic Dungeons & Dragons series produce some of the best game play involving Stacked Wilds. It has almost become symbolic of slots by the developer to include them.
This slot continues that fine tradition. Bombay might not stand out on its theme alone but in terms of game play it is up there with some of the developer’s most absorbing titles. The wins that you can trigger in the free spins bonus round and Jewelry Box Bonus might be few and far between compared to other slots but when the wins do come they are worth the wait.
