Cherry Bombs Slot Review Three Levels of Winning Potential

How to Play Cherry Bombs Slot

Cherry Bombs slot machine is very easy to play. The paylines are fixed, so all you need to do before spinning the reels is set your total bet per spin (which you can divide by 25 to calculate your line bet) and then click on the big green spin button. There are also buttons to turn on turbo mode and autoplay, which can be used to set up to 100 spins in motion, complete with stop conditions.

You will also find buttons to turn the sound on and off, enter full-screen mode, and view the paytable. The Cherry Bombs slot is packed with features that form an integral part of the gameplay, and they are explained in the next section of this review.

All the Bonus Features Explained

The slot has three levels of gameplay. The first level is the base game, which takes place on the 5x3 reel set. Level 2 is a cluster pays game that takes place on a 4x6 grid, and level 3 is a cluster pays game that takes place on a 5x7 grid. The slot’s two special symbols, the cherry bombs and the matchsticks, control progression to higher levels.

The cherry bombs are set off when the head on a matchstick symbol lands aligned with the bomb’s fuse. A bomb can also be ignited if it is in the blast zone of another cherry bomb explosion. There are three types of cherry bombs:

• Single Cherry Bomb – This can appear in all three levels of the game and on any reel. When it explodes, it will destroy the symbols immediately above, below, and to the left and right of it. Following an explosion, in the base game, there will be a cascade of symbols that may lead to additional wins or bomb explosions. In levels two and three, the exploded symbols will be replaced by the same randomly chosen regular symbol.
• Double Cherry Bomb – This can only appear in level 2 and only on the middle reels. It has two fuses, one going left and one going right. When it explodes, it destroys all the symbols around it.
• Triple Cherry Bomb – This only appears in level 3 and only on the center reel. Its fuse can lean left or right, and when it explodes, it will destroy all symbols on the 5x7 grid.

There are also two types of matchstick symbols:

• Single Matchstick – This can appear in all three levels, and it can point either up or down and to the left or right.
• Double Matchstick – This only appears in levels 2 and 3, and it points to both the left and the right, and it can point either up or down.

In the Cherry Bombs base game, a second chance spin may be awarded if a single matchstick lands near a cherry bomb but is not pointing towards the fuse. The matchstick will then spin and possibly realign itself to be pointing at the fuse.

The next thing to understand is how it is possible to advance through the levels. There is a Level-Up Meter on either side of the reels, and each time a cherry bomb explodes, it will add some energy to the meter. When the meter is charged enough, players receive 5 free spins for moving from level 1 to level 2. A further 10 free spins are awarded for moving from level 2 to level 3. Any cherry bomb explosions during the free spins will charge the meter, but if it is not charged enough following the free spins, then the gameplay drops down a level.
