Evil Goblins — Full Review & Free Demo

Evil Goblins xBomb: Slot Overview

Evil Goblins is a 6-reel, 3-row slot from Nolimit City, set in a gold-filled goblin mine and built around the xBomb mechanic. The grid can grow up to 7 rows high, which pushes the game from a simple-looking setup into something much busier. I found it decent fun straight away, mostly because even the base game can kick off with grenades, wilds and avalanches.

Visually, I’m not entirely sold on it. A few reviews called it less exciting than some other releases from the same studio, and I get that. Still, once the reels start chaining together, the plain look matters less. What you’re really here for is the flow of explosions, expanding rows and the chance to nick up to 31,969x your stake.

Evil Goblins xBomb: Slot Features

4 goblins sit above the middle reels on every spin, and if the symbol underneath matches, that goblin throws a grenade and turns it wild. That bit is called Goblin Sacrifice, and it pops often enough to keep things moving. You’ve also got regular wilds, plus Dead Wilds that feel annoying at first until 3 or more turn into Resurrection Wilds with x11, x33 or x55.

xBomb is the main event, mate. It blows up adjacent symbols, skips scatters and the two special wild types, adds +1 to the win multiplier, and pushes the grid one row higher up to 6x7. Then there’s Evil 4, which triggers when all 4 goblins on top match. A goblin lands above reel 1 with an x4 sign, and matching symbols on reel 1 count as 4 of that symbol, with the multiplier climbing as more matching goblins appear.

Symbols and Paytable

10 regular symbols make up the paytable. Five are low-paying royals from 10 to A, and five are premium goblins. The premium goblins pay 1x to 3x the stake for 6 of a kind, which sounds modest, but fair enough, this slot clearly expects the features and cascades to do the heavy lifting rather than raw symbol value.

729 ways is the starting setup on the 6x3 grid, then the row expansion can push it to 117,649 ways at 6x7. Wins land with adjacent matching symbols from the left, and the Avalanche system removes winning symbols so new ones can drop in. In practice, that means a single spin can drag on a bit, but in a good way when the bombs and goblins line up.
