With their 2020 pirate-themed release, 4ThePlayer takes you on a wild adventure on the high seas. 123 BOOM! is a 5-reel slot offering 1,024 ways to win. It comes packed with bonus features and provides you with a chance to hit up to 14,827x the bet in a single spin. However, this is not your ordinary slot machine as you can choose whether the reels will spin vertically or horizontally, but more on that later. What we have to stress out is that as you play it, you will definitely enjoy what you see on the screen as the game boasts a great overall design.
The reels are set within a vintage frame and against an epic battle of two ships. These vessels are on fire, but don’t let them distract you from what’s happening on the reels that are populated with theme-related symbols only. The pirate captain and female pirate are the two most rewarding icons. Other symbols include treasure chests, golden coins, pistols, sabres, Jolly Roger flags, treasure maps with compasses, telescopes and ship wheels.
The game comes equipped with the Slot Slider feature enabling players to choose from two modes: Slide Spin, where the reels spin horizontally and Top Spin spinning the reels vertically. Whichever mode that you choose, you will have to wager 10 coins to play the game. Pick a total bet from a range between $0.10 and $20, and you are good to go. The betting range may not be ideal for high-rollers, but this is a high volatility game where a hit frequency rate is not that high. Spin the reels manually or use the Autoplay feature that can spin them for you up to 100x.
Whenever you create a win, the Explosive Wins feature will be triggered with successful symbols exploding and the rest of the icons sliding into their positions. If you get lucky, you can benefit from up to 107 cascades in a row. On non-winning spins, Cannonball Wilds can slide to help you complete a winning combo.
The only symbol that cannot be replaced by Wild is Cannon Bonus Scatter. Land 3 or more Scatter to unlock the Bonus feature benefiting from an increasing multiplier starting at 2x. It increases on every Explosive Win and can reach 99x. There is no fixed number of free spins you get in this bonus feature, yet you should collect Cannon Bonus Scatters to add Cannonball Wilds to the reels. The feature ends when there are no more collected Scatters and no wins.
A highly exciting release from the young software provider, we have to admit. It is a fresh take on the common theme and offers innovative features, starting with the Slot Slider feature. Another thing that makes 123 BOOM! attractive is the maximum potential win of 14,827x the bet in a single spin. The game brags an RTP of 96.44%, so make sure to give it a try on your desktop or mobile device.
