Super Boost: Overview

Aiming to make a louder impact in 2020, London based developer Electric Elephant and Relax Gaming partner created Super Boost, a slot that doesn’t seem especially remarkable at first glance. Look a little closer, though, and you’ll find some eye-catching figures. The headline is the potential, but big stats alone don’t make a game. You still need gameplay that keeps things moving. Super Boost may have the standout number, but what else does it bring to the table?

Super Boost leans into a galactic setting that gives off a faux Starburst vibe. That impression comes from the simple symbol set, the understated EDM audio, and the star-filled sky in the background. With each spin, all 5 reels populate with 5 symbols, framed in something resembling a blend of test tubes and a Star Trek-style transporter. Overall, it’s visually quite basic and doesn’t do much to demand attention. The multiplier ladder on the left side of the reels is the most interesting touch, with its top value reaching x100.

To join the space-themed action, players can choose stakes from 10 p/c to $/€50 on any device. Beyond the sky-high max win, the remaining stats are fairly grounded. First up is a solid RTP of 96.25% alongside high volatility. Don’t count on frequent payouts – the relatively low 14.47% hit frequency can result in long stretches of dead spins. Still, the low hit rate is partly balanced by cascading symbols and the progressive multiplier mechanics.

To land a payout, you’ll need at least three matching symbols adjacent from the leftmost reel across one of the 40 fixed paylines. The symbols aren’t particularly inspired, but they do the job. At the low side are 10 – A royals, each paying 1.5x for five of a kind. Above them sit two middle symbols and three major symbols, all presented as bright geometric shapes like squares, triangles, and similar forms. Complete a full line with these for returns of 2.5 to 7.5 times your stake.

The top-paying icon is the Logo wild, where five of a kind awards 30x the bet. It also substitutes for any other symbol, and it becomes even more helpful once the features kick in.

Super Boost: Features

There isn’t a long list of extras to run through here. The feature set is built around cascading symbols, progressive multipliers, and Super Boost Mega Spins.

Any time a winning combination hits, all symbols (not only the ones involved in the win) on the relevant reels drop away so new symbols can fall in for another shot. For instance, a three of a kind will remove every symbol from the first 3 reels. This cascade process keeps going for as long as wins continue to appear.

In addition, with each consecutive win, the game multiplier steps up – up to 100x. If you manage at least three consecutive wins, they activate a Super Boost Mega Spin. A Super Boost Free Spin is a single free spin, with 1×5, 2×5, and 3×5 stacked wilds add to the middle three reels. Whatever multiplier you built during the cascade run is then applied to any wins scored on the Super Boost Mega Spin.

Super Boost: Verdict

“Brief but effective” is a fair way to sum up the features. Super Boost is the type of slot that puts most of its energy into them, leaving the base game with little else to offer. Alongside the low hit rate, that means there’s often not much happening. But when Super Boost does come alive, it really does, stacking cascades and multipliers that eventually lead into a Super Boost Mega Spin. Since you only get one free spin, you’ll want it to count. Naturally, landing plenty of wilds in the middle can change everything, and some pleasing wins showed up during testing.

Even so, they weren’t anywhere near the huge figures being advertised by the developer. A potential 200,000x (with a €1 million cap) is enormous, but the real question is how realistic it is. There’s some doubt, because in the developer’s simulated spins, the best result they managed was 17,643 times the stake. That’s a strong hit on its own, but it’s nowhere close to the stated 200,000x. The takeaway: decent wins can happen when playing Super Boost. The question is whether they’re worth chasing.

It’s a mixed answer. If your first session treats you well, you’ll probably be tempted to return and try again next time. If it doesn’t, Super Boost may be a slot you barely recall 2 days later. The features have some appeal, but the execution doesn’t feel standout. It can be a little awkward in places, and for a game with potentially massive payouts, it can also feel oddly flat. With the low hit rate plus high volatility, Super Boost is one of those titles where either nothing happens or everything does. You either catch a streak of wins or watch your bankroll vanish into a black hole. That said, if you can build a meaningful multiplier, the single Super Boost Mega Spin can be genuinely tense.

All in all, Super Boost is a somewhat unusual slot. Without knowing about the huge potential, it would be easy to dismiss. But it can start to grow on you if you land a few strong Super Boost Mega Spins. There isn’t much beyond that, so it can become repetitive if you end up endlessly chasing the same loop. Still, if you’re hunting for heroic wins, and you can find an operator willing to cover a possible €1 million liability, there’s no technical reason not to give it a spin.
