Who Booming Games is

Booming Games is a slot developer with its registered office in Birkirkara, Malta. Company announcements describe it as founded in 2014 and licensed in Malta, Great Britain and Sweden. Its Malta Gaming Authority B2B licence (MGA/B2B/459/2018) was issued on 10 September 2018, and it appears on the Gambling Commission register under account number 57254, which is what allows British casinos to offer its games.

The studio says it employs more than 200 people from 45 nationalities and releases roughly four games a month. That pace means a lobby can hold dozens of Booming titles, many of them variations on the same core idea: coins land, lock in place and pay out in a respin round. If you like that format, the catalogue is deep; if you prefer story-driven bonus rounds, it can feel repetitive.

Like any supplier, Booming provides the game software and maths. The UK casino whose app you use holds your money, applies your deposit limits and handles verification and withdrawals.

How Booming Games Hold and Win slots work on mobile

The Hold and Win mechanic is the backbone of the catalogue. Most Booming releases follow a pattern you can learn once and recognise everywhere.

1. In the base game, coin-style symbols carrying cash values land on the reels alongside ordinary symbols.
2. Six or more of them on one spin triggers the feature, and the reels clear except for those symbols.
3. You get three respins. Each new coin that lands sticks and resets the counter to three.
4. The round ends when a respin passes with no new coin, or when every position is filled.
5. All the values on screen are added up and paid; filling the whole grid usually awards the top fixed prize.

A worked example: at a 20p stake, imagine the round ends with eight coins worth 1x, 1x, 2x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 1x and 10x your bet. That totals 25x, or £5. Most rounds end well short of a full grid, and many spins between features return nothing at all, which is why these games feel quiet for long stretches. Our page on Hold and Win slots apps compares the format across studios.

Recent Booming Games slots and their published figures

The figures below come from the studio’s own launch announcements. Your app’s version may differ, so check the info screen inside the game before relying on any of them.

Each of these also has a separate free spins round triggered by scatter or bonus symbols. In Greedy for Gold, three, four or five scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and jumbo symbols can land on the middle reels. In Blazing Bullets, wilds expand to fill whole reels during free spins. Other Booming titles you may see include Buffalo Hold and Win, Tasty Bonanza and Vegas Pig 2.

Boost+: what it does to the cost of each spin

Boost+ is an optional switch that raises your stake in exchange for a better chance of triggering bonus features. Booming’s announcements describe different increases for different games, for example 25% on Greedy for Gold and 1.5 times the bet on Blazing Bullets, so the toggle in each game tells you the real figure.

More features does not mean more money back overall: you are paying more per spin for them. The boosted total is your real stake and counts towards the UK limit of £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over, or £2 for those aged 18–24. If you use it, lower the base stake so the boosted figure fits your budget. The same logic applies to the ante bet in other studios’ games.

Overseas versions of these games sell bonus rounds for 75x or 100x the bet. That option is removed for players in Great Britain, and whether Boost+ itself appears depends on the version your casino runs.

What a Booming respin round looks like on a phone

Booming’s 5x3 layouts suit a phone held upright: the grid sits in the middle, the jackpot labels (Mini, Major, Grand) run across the top, and the stake, balance and win strip sits below with the spin button in thumb reach.

• Respin counter. A small number, usually above or beside the grid, shows how many respins remain. It jumps back to three each time a coin lands.
• Coin values. Each coin displays its value as a multiple of your stake or as a cash amount. On smaller screens these can be hard to read, so the running total underneath is the better guide.
• Collector symbols. Some games add a pot or character that gathers coins during normal play; a progress meter fills as it collects.
• Feature summary. At the end of the round a panel totals the win; tap to continue rather than waiting.

LivePlay Slots: why you won’t find them in UK apps

Booming has teamed up with Live Play Mobile on LivePlay Slots, a format in which a live host presents slot play to a shared audience. It launched on Modo Casino, a social gold-coin site, with live-hosted versions of titles such as Buffalo Hold and Win and Tasty Bonanza. The partners describe it as available only in eligible jurisdictions.

That product is aimed at social and sweepstakes-style markets, not at British real-money casinos, so do not expect to see it in a UK app. The standard Booming slots are what British casinos carry. If you are interested in hosted formats that are offered here, look at game show apps, which run under the live casino rules rather than slot rules.

RTP and volatility in Booming Games slots

Many slots are released in several RTP versions, and the casino chooses which to run, so the only figure that applies to you is in the game’s help screen. Open the game, tap the menu or info icon and scroll to the return-to-player line.

Hold and Win games concentrate much of their value in the respin feature and the fixed prizes, which tends to make them swingy. On £50 of stakes you might see a feature early and finish ahead, or go through the lot without one. A 96% RTP means £48 back on average over a vast number of plays, not in your session. Set a budget you are happy to lose and stop when it is gone; our guide to bankroll management on mobile explains simple ways to do that.

UK rules applied to Booming Games slots

• No autoplay: each spin, including each paid base spin, needs its own tap. Respins inside a feature play automatically because they are part of one result.
• Each spin lasts at least 2.5 seconds, with no turbo or slam-stop.
• No bonus buy for players in Great Britain.
• Stake limits of £5 per spin (25 and over) and £2 per spin (18–24), including any Boost+ increase.
• Wins smaller than your stake are not celebrated with win sounds or animations.

Booming Hold and Win slots compared with similar games

Wolf Gold is the best-known example of the coin-respin idea, and Big Bass Hold and Spinner blends it with the fishing theme. Booming’s versions add Boost+ and collector symbols, and its quick release schedule means more themes to choose from.

How to find Booming Games titles in a casino app

1. Open the app and sign in.
2. Go to Slots or Casino from the bottom menu.
3. Open the provider filter and look for Booming or Booming Games.
4. If there is no filter, search for Hold and Win, which brings up most of the series.
5. Open a game and check the info screen for the RTP and whether Boost+ is present.

Some apps group these games in a Hold and Win or Jackpots category instead. Not every UK casino carries Booming, so confirm before you deposit.
