Boomanji

Sometimes, you get a strong idea of what a game will be before you even see the loading screen based on its name. This was exactly the case for us as we decided to review an online slot machine from one of our most prolific providers - Betsoft. And we have to admit that we were expecting some spin on the Jumanji franchise that has seen a sort of revival lately. And we couldn't be more wrong. These are straight-up fireworks that boom visually and mechanically, and we absolutely love it for this. While we are on the topic of mechanics, this is a 5 reels, 3 rows high volatility slot, so it's not too out of the ordinary for this developer.

Game Information

Theme & Gameplay

While there are no traditional bonus rounds like free spins or multipliers, Boomanji's crisp graphics, dynamic animations, and vibrant colors more than makeup for it. The core gameplay is standard online slot machine protocol, with a slight adjustment being that the combinations have registered both ways. The rest is the same, with you having to get as many matching icons on the paylines you have placed a bet on. The game isn't packed with special features either, offering simplicity for beginners and a nice sense of nostalgia for veterans. The playing field itself is set against a night sky, which is an obvious choice for a fireworks-themed slot, letting the contrast of the bright reel artworks really shine.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

The regular icons populate the reels of Boomanji; each one is reserved behind a type of fireworks. The paytable logic is incredibly simple: the bigger the boom it makes, the more money you win when you match those icons. The art of the symbols themselves is incredibly simple to read, sharp, and crisp. And because all of the icons are so distinct from one another, they are incredibly easy to memorize, as well as all of the 10 payline positions, which isn’t that many for a modern online slot. Bet sizes vary between the tiniest bet of $0.01, which lets you play virtually for free, and a more than serious $140 maximum bet.

Boomanji Slot Bonus Features

Boomanji slot offers two main changes to the standard formula you should know before you start:

• Dual-Direction Paylines: Unlike traditional slots that pay only from left to right, Boomanji pays for winning combinations in both directions. This increases the chances of landing winning sequences.
• Expanding Wild Symbols: The game's primary special feature is the expanding wild symbol. When a wild appears on the reels, it expands to cover the entire reel, potentially leading to significant wins. If multiple expanding wilds are involved in a winning combination, players receive a free respin with the wilds held in place.

Conclusion

While not the most complex title out there, Boomanji shakes things up with its dual-direction paylines enough to keep things exciting. Great visuals, design, and presentation round it off, giving it more than enough reasons to give it a shot if you are a fan of simple mechanics in slots.
