Six Bomb Slot Machine
Six Bomb is an all out action-packed 3-reel slot machine by Microgaming software. The game takes its theme after a classic comic book with its big hitting design and use of sound effects.
The game is not only explosive on the visual front, because this retro style slot machine is packs a little bit more punch than the average 3-reeler. That is down to the fact that there are actually two separate sets of reels – one with 1 payline and another with 5 paylines – allowing players to win up to 4,000x the value of their total bet with a wild symbol that doubles the normal payout prizes.
What's more, this game features a number of simple AWP gameplay elements, such as nudges, hold and gambles, just for that extra vintage arcade vibe.
Comic Book Classic
If you are a fan of classic style slot machines but you are getting a bit bored of the same old fruit machine set up, then Six Bomb is sure to shake things up with its bold and extravagant comic book design.
The game still plays host to some of the usual fruit suspects, such as cherries, lemons, plums and watermelons, and it even has a couple of other traditional slot machine icons like blue and red 7s and a series of single, double and triple BAR symbols. However, these icons are all designed in a satisfyingly unconventional way. For example, the fruits are shaded to resemble the cartoon comic book artwork while the BAR icons are written in comic sans font, naturally.
Overall, the game screen is literally exploding with colour and movement thanks to a close attention to detail when it comes to the spaces around and in-between the reels. In fact, the designers of this game from Microgaming software have essentially paid homage to the work Roy Lichtenstein with a background illustration that appears to be pulled straight from a pop art painting from the famous American artist.
Spin Your Way to the Top
One of the most interesting aspects of this slot machine, asides from the top-notch design, is the fact that it offers a slightly different way to spin the reels than the normal online 3-reel slot. That is because the game takes after a true AWP style arcade machine by offering a double set of 3-reels. This may look a bit confusing at first to inexperienced spinners but, in reality, the game is still very straightforward to play. Essentially, players must choose a bet to place on the lower set of reels which has 1 payline (wagers available range from 0.10 to 10.00 credits). Once that bet is in place, spinners simply have to set those lower reels in motion and hope that they can find any of the following combination to receive the respective total bet multipliers:
This is where it gets interesting. Because, instead of going straight in to the spinning kitty, those wins will be added to the “Cashpot” that can be seen just below the higher set of reels. With this “Cashpot” balance, punters have the chance to spin up some truly big wins with the second set of reels. Plus, players can choose to place stakes on these reels that are worth 1x, 2x or 5x the value of their total bet from the base reels. Of course, playing with bigger stakes means bigger potential wins, as you can see in the table below:
Double Your Wins
Players can hope to boost their winnings even more thanks to the inclusion of a wild symbol which is depicted by a female character. This icon works just like any other wild symbol by helping to fill in win lines by replacing all other symbols on the reels. However, when this particular wild steps in to play, it will double the value of the win according to the normal paytable.
Spinners can also make the most of some additional gameplay features from the AWP slot machine genre. These include nudge and hold options which will give punters something extra to think about.
Two for the Price of One
Playing Six Bomb is a very enjoyable experience, especially if you are a fan of retro games which offer plenty of interesting extra features. The game gives spinners a two for the price of one with its double set of reels while they can hope to find some doubled wins thanks to the slot machine's rewarding wild symbol. What better way to boost your betting balance than with this explosive slot machine?
