Jelly Boom overview

If the theme and design is not obvious from the name let me clarify. Think Candy Crush, and you will have a good idea of what is to come. The cartoon style graphics really are awesome, and the jelly bean main characters are cute and really detailed. The production that has been applied to the creation of this slot is top notch and personally I adore the whole ambience and found myself smiling the whole time I was playing.

Symbols

When it comes to the symbols the scatter is a grape styled symbol and this is joined by four jelly bean styled characters in yellow, pink, green and blue and there are also various types of fruit that are also coloured in the same way.

Game Statistics

Jelly Boom plays out over a 4x4 reel set and has 40 active pay lines even though it is a small game area. There are plenty of times where it pays out and wins can get to as high as 10,586x your stake which really is colossal, however with this win potential comes a higher volatility, but the return to player does come in at 96.10% which should keep most players happy. The main features on offer are symbol drops, free spins, scatters, and Jelly wilds, giving you more than enough options to keep you playing.

Wagers & Winning

When it comes to placing your bet you can bet from as little as $0.10 and all of the pay lines are active, and when it comes to the maximum this stands at $75 so a good bet range that will appeal to a wide variety of players. When it comes to the pay outs the slot can offer the developers do mention the size of available wins, however you need to be aware that these figures have come from the testing they have undertaken and they have spun the reels 500 million times to determine exactly what the game can deliver. The wins in the regular game have paid out 264x the stake that was used for the testing, whilst the free spins have delivered a super impressive 10,586x the stake. Even though you think the volatility is high it is however with the 29% hit frequency wins will land quite a lot. The return to player at 96.10% confirms that in the long-term this is a fair game with real chances for those who play it.

Features

When it comes to the features there are a few, but your aim to begin with is to land a winning combination created with three or four of the same symbols on your 40 active pay lines. Once you have created a win the cascading reels mechanic will kick in and the symbols that have created the win disappear to make place for new ones, all the time you are landing wins the cascade continues.

There is a meter that you also need to fill and with every new drop the meters begin to up for the top symbol four symbols shown on the left-hand side. For every two drops that happen in the same spin one of the top symbols turns wild, giving you even more chance to land extra wins. If you get lucky and complete 8 drops all your top symbols will turn wild. When the round no longer provides wins the meter re-sets and the symbols become regular ready for your next spin.

The scatter is the other major symbol you will get to use in this slot and landing 3, 4, or 5 will provide you with 5, 10, or 15 free spins. Once the free spins begin the slot picks one of the four top symbols randomly and boost the multiplier that will be attached, the boost will be 3x plus dependent on the number of scatters that activated the feature. When you land the jelly symbols and the assist you on a win, their multiplier will be added. If you get lucky and have other scatters that land the jelly symbols increase their multiplier which can contribute to some great wins. Due to this it is possible to pay 40x or more in the base game of the slot as the multipliers keep increasing as you play.

Conclusion

Personally, I love this free slot and everything about it, admittedly I was an avid Candy Crush player when it first came out and have played many of the spin offs. There is just so much to love about Jelly Boom. To being with it looks superb and can not help but make you smile even when you are feeling gloomy, but the best thing has to be that it pays out prizes on a regular basis and whilst they may not be the largest amount there is something about landing wins! Admittedly some of the best wins come from activating the free spin feature and this is where all of the magic in this slot cumulates and the potential is off the scale, but this is what you should expect from a highly volatile slot. I was pleased to see that you can activate the free spins relatively easy and although I did not manage to land massive wins, I did walk away with a few extra pennies in my pocket! With the fabulous cartoon-style graphics and strong characters in play this may prove to be too sweet for some players, however there is not getting away from the high quality and fabulous thought that has been put into creating this slot.
