Booming Games casino games

Who makes Booming Games casino games?

Booming Games is a slot studio with its registered office in Birkirkara, Malta. It describes a team of more than 200 people drawn from 45 nationalities, and it puts out new titles at a brisk pace of about four a month. For British players the most important fact is regulatory: Booming Games holds a Gambling Commission licence under account number 57254, which you can confirm yourself on the public register.

It also holds a Malta Gaming Authority business-to-business licence, MGA/B2B/459/2018, issued on 10 September 2018. The Maltese licence covers supply to markets that accept it, but it isn't what allows games into Britain. That job falls to the Commission licence. Our explainer on casino software providers sets out how a studio's licence relates to the casino's, and the providers hub lists every studio we cover.

The Booming Games Hold and Win series

Hold and Win is the feature most associated with Booming Games casino games, and titles such as Buffalo Hold and Win carry it in the name. The general idea is shared across the industry: land enough special symbols, usually coins or orbs showing cash values, and you trigger a respin round. Those symbols lock in place, the other positions spin again, and every new special symbol resets the respin counter, commonly to three. The round ends when the counter runs out or the grid fills, and the locked values are added up.

A worked Hold and Win example

Here's how one round could play out on a £1 stake, using invented values to show the counting. Six coins land, worth 1×, 2×, 1×, 5×, 1× and 3× stake, triggering the feature with three respins. The first respin adds a 2× coin, resetting to three. The next two respins add nothing. The fourth respin adds a 1× coin and resets the counter again. Three blank respins follow and the round ends with eight coins totalling 16× stake, or £16. Many Hold and Win games add jackpot symbols or a grand prize for filling the screen; their values and odds are set out in the help screen.

These coin values are made up for illustration. A real round can end with a small total below what you've spent getting there, and the game's RTP already accounts for the feature.

For a full breakdown of the mechanic across studios, see our Hold and Win explainer and the hold and win glossary entry.

Boost+ and LivePlay Slots: Booming's feature brands

Booming Games uses its own names for families of features. Boost+ is one of them, applied across a range of titles, and LivePlay Slots is another format the studio promotes. Because the way these are implemented can differ from game to game, the reliable source is the help screen of the specific title you open. It sets out what triggers the feature, what it pays and whether it changes your stake.

That last point is worth checking. Some modern slots let you pay extra on each spin for a better chance of a feature. Where such options exist on games offered in Britain, the whole amount you pay per spin counts toward the £5 slot stake limit, or £2 if you are 18–24. Buying a bonus round outright isn't offered on slots at UK-licensed casinos; our page on bonus buy explains how games are supplied to Great Britain without it.

Notable Booming Games titles

We don't hold independently verified RTP or max win figures for Booming Games slots, so this table describes style and features only. Read the numbers inside each game before playing.

Other titles listed on reference sites include Burning Classics, Sugar Skulls, Wild Wild Vegas, Cosmic Fruit, Wizarding Wins, Greek Legends and Red Hot Volcano; we haven't verified their features, so read each help screen. The mix is typical of a high-output studio: classic sevens, book slots and Hold and Win variants, each aimed at a familiar taste. If you like the book format, our slot features guide explains why expanding symbols in free spins can produce large but infrequent wins.

What a four-a-month release pace means for you

About four new games a month adds up to roughly 48 a year. For players that has two practical consequences. First, lobbies are full of similar-looking titles, sometimes sharing a feature brand or a theme, so it is easy to confuse two games with different maths. Second, newly released games don't have long track records on review sites, which makes the in-game information your main source.

A quick routine helps you judge any new Booming Games slot in a couple of minutes:

1. Open the game but don't spin. Find the info or help icon, often an 'i' or a menu with three lines.
2. Read the RTP figure and note whether the help screen mentions alternative versions.
3. Check the paytable for the top symbol pays and any maximum win cap.
4. Read how the main feature triggers and what it can award, including any jackpot values.
5. Look for volatility hints in the description, or compare the paytable spread: big top prizes with tiny low pays usually mean high volatility.
6. Decide your stake and session length before the first spin, within the £5 or £2 limit.

Our guides to reading a slot paytable and slot volatility go deeper on each step.

Booming Games licence: how to check account 57254

Booming Games holds Gambling Commission account 57254. To confirm that it's still active, open the Commission's public register of businesses (opens in a new tab), search for the account number or the company name, and read the entry. It should show the licence status, the activities covered and any regulatory action. A supplier's entry normally lists software-related activities rather than the remote casino licence you see on a casino's entry.

The Commission's operating licences guide (opens in a new tab) explains who needs a licence to serve British customers. Our own how to check a casino licence walkthrough shows the register step by step.

UK slot rules that apply to Booming Games casino games

Booming Games slots offered at UK-licensed casinos follow the Gambling Commission's game design rules, which have applied to slots since 31 October 2021:

• No autoplay: each spin is started manually (autoplay ban).
• A minimum of 2.5 seconds per spin, with no turbo or slam-stop (spin speed limit).
• No celebrating a return equal to or lower than your stake.
• Your net position and session time on screen (net position display rule).
• Stake caps of £5 per spin at 25 and over, and £2 for ages 18–24, since 2025.

In a Hold and Win round, the respins are part of the same game cycle as the triggering spin, so they cost nothing extra. The Commission's stake limit guidance (opens in a new tab) explains how a game cycle is defined.

Who Booming Games slots suit

These games suit players who enjoy recognisable formats and don't mind reading a help screen each time they try something new. If you'd rather stick to a small set of well-documented titles, a long-established studio such as NetEnt or Play'n GO may be easier to research.

Where to play Booming Games casino games: partner offers

Game selections at each casino change often, especially with a studio that releases this frequently, so we don't say which Booming Games titles a partner currently carries. All three casinos below are licensed by the Gambling Commission, and their offers were checked on 5 October 2026. PlayOJO gives new UK customers aged 18+ 80 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p each after a first deposit of £10, with winnings paid in cash and no wagering; Northern Ireland is excluded.

Coral awards 100 free spins at 10p on selected games after you deposit and bet £10 on slots, and Ladbrokes gives up to 500 free spins over 10 days for the same £10 slots spend; both have no wagering on spin winnings and exclude certain payment methods. Terms apply to every offer. Our £10 deposit offers page compares what each tenner gets.
