Cherry Blast

Cherry Blast

The wombat says: Iron Dog Studios are not a games maker that this Wombat is familiar with (and I’m on first name terms with most of ’em). Still, they have burst onto the scene with this fruity little slot called Cherry Blast so we thought it was time to let them shine. The theme in the game is the old skool classic fruit machine, and let’s face it we’ve seen A LOT of those recently. But this new slot looks a lot slicker than many of its rivals and has a unique exploding bonus feature that really spices things up with Wilds, Scatters and extra Bonuses. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype…

Game Play

Cherry Blast is a 5 reel slot with 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. You’ll find 3 high value symbols on your reels and they are made up of the Golden Bell, the Golden Lucky 7 and the Golden Cherries. They are accompanied by some juicy-looking kiwis, plums, limes, watermelons and strawberries all acting as your low paying out icons. Tasty!

The Wild symbol in the slot is a gold crown and it will substitute for all other symbols on the reels (except the green and gold Scatter) to help make up extra winning combinations for you. There are also Cherry Bomb symbols around and about causing moolah mayhem, but a bit more on those shortly…

Cherry Blast Bombs!

The cherry symbol is basically a big old bomb of fun Wombat Fans! Exploding on the reels in random pattern to dish you out extra wilds, cash prizes and access to other bonus features, including the Free Spins.

After the Cherry Bomb has exploded, if 3x of the Free Spins symbols land anywhere on the reels and it’s 9 Free Spins for you with a x5 multiplier! During this bonus round, 2 extra Cherry Bombs are added to reels 2, 3 and 4 which will explode at random to reveal either  ‘Super Wild’ or ‘Super Scatter’ symbols which means 5 extra wilds and 3 extra scatters will appear on the three central reels. Very very nice indeed.

Dash Bonus Feature

The bonus dash feature is set off after 3x of the Bonus symbols are exploded onto the reels. We like this bonus a lot, as it looks like a Pac-Man-style mini game! Before you start to play, you must you choose 1 of the 5 routes on offer. The higher the number you opt for, the harder it will be for your Cherry Pacman symbol thingy to safely make it to the end of the round, and as you have probably guessed, the payouts rise accordingly too.

Conclusion

If it’s a fruity-themed slot you’re after then Iron Dog Studio’s Cherry Blast could be the one for you. Fans of old skool fruit machines that look a bit more sophisticated than the usual will also like this slot as it combines the best of both worlds. For us, we just love the Cherry Bomb bonuses. Fun and lucrative, they also stop the spinning from getting samey. It’s a must play!
