Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has sent in the troops with 3 Wild Troopers, a 5×3 slot that hands the explosives to three cartoon commanders.
The 5×3 grid is bolted into a desert ridgeline as the sun drops, framed by turning radar dishes, watchtowers and contrails cutting across the clouds.
A gold star medal serves as the Wild and stands in for every symbol apart from the Bonus, BOOST, COLLECT, MULTI and Jackpot symbols. Five Wilds on a winning line pay x10 the bet, four pay x2 and three pay x0.5. Combinations of three and four only pay out when a Bonus or Special Bonus symbol follows them.
Bombs pack the real punch. The black Bonus bomb carries a value of its own, while the green, red and blue Special Bonus bombs each take charge of one job once the Bonus Game starts. BOOST picks a value worth x2, x3, x4, x5, x7 or x10 of the bet, adds it to every symbol on the reels and keeps that figure for itself. MULTI draws a random x2, x3 or x5 and applies it across the grid before settling on a value based on that multiplier and the player’s bet. COLLECT scoops the values off all the Bonus symbols in view. A rainbow MYSTERY bomb turns up in the Bonus Game only, converting at random into a BOOST, MULTI, COLLECT or Jackpot symbol.
Six or more qualifying symbols on a single spin sees the Bonus Game explode into life. The triggering symbols lock on screen, three spins are handed out, and from that point only Bonus and Special Bonus symbols can land. Empty cells may award multipliers of x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x7 or x10 of the bet, and every new symbol pushes the counter back to three. One detail sets this one apart: the features in play are limited to the Special Bonus symbols that appeared on the triggering spin or are later revealed by a Mystery bomb. Once a feature is live, it can also land naturally on the grid.
Jackpot bombs dropping into the feature pay the Mini at x20, the Minor at x50 and the Major at x150 of the total bet. Fill all 15 cells and the Grand Jackpot pays x3,000. The round closes when three spins pass without a new symbol landing, when the grid is full, or when that x3,000 ceiling is reached, and the values of every Bonus symbol on screen are then totalled and paid as the Bonus win.
There’s a second way in as well. The Bonus Blast Feature can activate at random during the base game once Special Bonus symbols have been collected over earlier spins, spreading extra Bonus and Special Bonus bombs across the reels so that enough land to trigger the Bonus Game. Players who would rather skip the wait can buy straight into the feature at a price scaled to their chosen bet.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “3 Wild Troopers is explosive, fast and doesn't take itself too seriously. Each trooper controls a different part of the Bonus Game, so no two rounds play out the same way, and with the Grand Jackpot set at x3,000 there's a serious prize to chase while the bombs are going off.”
