If you’re bored of classic 3x3 or 5x3 reel sets with a couple of paylines, then Balloon Boom from Champion might be just the kind of slot game you want to play.

This lovely slot has a 6x5 reel set with no paylines. You make winning combinations by getting at least 8 identical symbols anywhere on the reel set.

The graphics are absolutely delicious with many mouth-watering desserts as symbols (think chocolate, macaroons, parfaits, donuts, ice cream, and marshmallows).

Features

Scatter

The slice of cake is the scatter symbol in Balloon Boom. You will need to land four or more slices of cake to get a scatter win.

Bonus Symbols

The bonus symbol is a multiplier and it appears on the reels only during the free spins bonus round. It will remain on the screen until the end of the falling combinations.

It can have values from x2 to x100.

If you land several bonus symbols, their values will be summed up.

Free Spins

When you get four or more scatters at the same time, you will trigger 10 free spins. 

If you get three or more scatters during the free spins bonus round, you’ll get an additional 5 free spins on top of the ones you already had. 

(Just as a hint: while we gave this game a couple of spins to be able to review it properly, we triggered the free spins bonus feature, got 3 sets of additional free spins so 25 free spins in total, and won over 5000 on a 25 bet.)

Accumulation Feature

There is another way to trigger the free spins bonus round, apart from the classic option of getting 4+ scatters in the same spin. 

You’ll need seven sets of three scatters. But for this to work, you need to switch on the accumulation feature, which will increase your bet by 25%.

The accumulation counter resets if you get four or more scatters or if you change the bet.

Gamble Feature

All Champion slot games have a gamble feature, but this one takes the game to the next level as it’s not the regular gamble feature where you need to pick the correct suit or colour of the next card to be drawn.

This one is themed and is very much part of the game, it doesn’t feel like a completely different section of the slot game.

After every winning combination, you can press the Gamble button that’s on the left side of the Start button.

You’ll be taken to a different screen where you’ll see a card picked by the dealer on which there are no classic playing card figures, but the symbols of the main game.

You get to choose one of four cards, and the one you pick needs to have a higher value than the one picked by the dealer.

The card values in the Balloon Boom slot gamble feature are: 1 > 9, 9 > 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.

If your card is of greater value, you will get 2x the initial win. You can keep gambling up to 5x times or take the win and get back to the main game.
