Theme – will the goblins feed off your soul?

With a horror theme and based on mischievous goblins, the Evil Goblins xBomb slot sees this malevolent bunch throw explosives everywhere to get their way. Set in a gold mine, the first thing you’ll notice is the thumping soundtrack which is quite hypnotic.

Colourful and bright, you will see a mischievous goblin holding a bomb above the reels. On the reels, you have A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. The higher value symbols are represented by 5 goblins. The Goblin King is the best paying symbol giving you 0.35, 0.7, 1.25 or 3 x stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination. The goblins will remind you of the iconic Labyrinth film which starred David Bowie.

In terms of wild symbols, there are 3 Dead wild symbols which can land on reels 2 through 6. Substituting for any other symbol except the scatter, they can be transformed in the Goblin Sacrifice feature (more details below). Other symbols that appear will include xBomb and scatters. Here’s a table showcasing all symbols appearing on the reels:

Evil Goblins xBomb Mobile

The Evil Goblins xBomb slot was made by Nolimit City using HTML5 technology. This means it’s available to play on desktop, mobile and tablet devices. For the optimum experience, play on a larger screen such as a laptop.

Evil Goblins xBomb Bonus Features

With a total of 9 bonus features, the Evil Goblins xBomb slot game has a lot going on. It comes with cascades, Resurrection Wilds with multipliers up to 55x, transforming goblins (into wilds), xBombs which increases the multiplier and add more rows as well as up to 117,649 ways to win. Then you have various free spins features where all the other extras come into play.

Cascades feature

When you land a winning combination, the Cascades feature is triggered. Winning symbols explode with new symbols replacing them. This allows for successive winning combinations.

Resurrection Wilds feature

A single Dead Wild symbol doesn’t actually do anything on its own. Land 3 Dead Wilds and you will trigger the Resurrection Wilds feature. This means they become Resurrection Wilds with the last wild also giving you a multiplier. The more Resurrection Wilds, the higher the multiplier:

Goblin Sacrifice feature

On every base game spin, goblins pop up on top of the reel. Match the goblin on top of the reel with the symbol on the reel to trigger the Goblin Sacrifice feature.

The goblin then throws an iron grenade at himself for the ultimate sacrifice to transform himself into a wild symbol. Once this happens, the goblin disappears and a new random goblin takes its place. If you match all 4 goblins, you will activate the Evil 4 feature.

Evil 4 feature

Matching all 4 goblins on top of the reels to trigger the Evil 4 feature. The matching goblin sits on the throne on reel 1, where a multiplier of 4x or higher is boosted. This means the number of symbols on that reel are counted as 4 of that symbol. This increases your number of ways to win naturally.

The multiplier increases by 1 every time a new matching goblin appears on the top reel. This can lead to 117,649 ways to win in total.

xBomb feature

Look out for the xBomb symbol appearing as it removes adjacent symbols bar the scatter, Dead Wilds and Resurrection Wilds. The xBomb increases the win multiplier by 1. This is called the xBomb feature.

On top of this, 1 extra row is added to the reel area, up to 7 rows. This means 117,649 ways to win are possible (7x7x7x7x7x7). Finally, all xBomb symbols explode before the next cascade and explodes regardless if you get a win or not.

Free Spins features

The Free Spins features can be played in a number of ways. With 3 free spins features, you will need at least 3 scatters to play them. Here are the details:

Fresh Meat Spins feature

Landing 3 or 4 scatters will trigger the Fresh Meat Spins feature with 8 or 9 free spins respectively. During the feature, each scatter landing will award an additional free spin.

More importantly, you are guaranteed Dead Wilds on each free spin. This significant increases your chances of triggering the Goblin Sacrifice and xBomb features. If you trigger the Evil 4 feature, you can upgrade to the Goblin Feast Spins feature.

Goblins Meat Spins feature

The Goblins Meat Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 scatters and triggering the Evil 4 feature. If you do it from within the Fresh Meat Spins and have 5 or more free spins remaining, the multiplier corresponds to the number of free spins left. If you had 7 Fresh Meat Spins, a 7x multiplier will apply for example.

Once in, you get 4 free spins with the Evil 4 multiplier activated. When you match a goblin on the reel and above the reel, the multiplier increases by 1 and remains in positions for the rest of the feature. The number of free spins resets to 4 too. You can reset 4 times meaning 20 free spins in total.

Any new matching goblins appearing will transform into a skeleton and remain in place. It will also transform matching symbols on the reels into wilds.

The Explosive Goblins Meat Spins feature is same as the normal version but with 1 significant upgrade. 1 xBomb symbol will appear on every free spin which increases your chances of expanding the reel area and win multiplier.

Nolimit Bonus feature

The Evil Goblin xBomb slot comes with a Nolimit Bonus feature. You can purchase all free spins features. You can also buy xBomb symbols. This isn’t available to UK players unfortunately. Here are the options:

Evil Goblins xBomb Review Summary – explosive goblins deliver

The Evil Goblins xBomb slot is brilliantly designed and has a tongue-in-cheek feel. For me personally, it’s about the xBomb symbols as they increase the win multiplier and add rows/ways to win. If you combine this with the Evil 4 feature, you can end up with quite a significant number of ways to form a winning combination.

With regards to the free spins, the best one is the Goblin Meat Spins feature. This is because you can begin with a higher multiplier and you’ll play with an increased number of ways to win (from Evil 4 feature). With a few resets available, the Explosive addition comes with xBomb symbols for bigger winning potential. It will take 191 spins on average to play any free spins feature which is decent.

The other slot to use the xBomb mechanic is Fire in the Hole. This game offers bigger wins (60,000 x stake vs 31,969 x stake) and is more volatile. However, the gameplay in Evil Goblins xBomb is ‘softer’ in my opinion but more options to win big in the base game.

It will all boil down to how you like your slots to play out. Whilst other Nolimit City slots boast bigger win potential (cough, cough San Quentin), the Evil Goblins xBomb slot has a lot going on which can produce big payouts in the base game and various free spins features. Let’s just hope these mischievous creatures are in a generous mood and throw plenty of xBombs.
