OmNom Slot Machine

There are other ways to enjoy foods other than eating them. Om Nom is a food-themed online slot game created and published by Hacksaw Gaming. This game features entirely cartoonish aesthetic aspects such as charming tiny symbols in fun colours, translucent reels, and a backdrop picture with candy and doughnuts. 

You can play this online slot here at Slingo Casino.

The paytable consists of 4 reels, 4 rows, and 8 base game symbols. With graphics clearly inspired by Japanese kawaii imagery (which basically translates as ‘cute’), this game is enticing for all the senses. The reel symbols appear on the screen without an edging, where they are placed directly in front of the game background, a vibrant blue wallpaper with a textured waffle effect. Floating on this background is the game name logo, and to the left of the reels are a few icons.

The symbols are a collection of extremely yummy but unhealthy food options including chips, pizza, donuts, burgers, popcorn, chocolate, cupcakes, and ice creams. For anyone on a diet, this game may be their downfall. The cute visuals are complemented by a super-fun soundtrack and sound effects that wouldn’t be out of place on a kids’ TV show.

Hacksaw has adopted a strategy of incorporating a small but impactful set of features, the first of which is the Multiplier feature. In this feature, a symbol is randomly chosen and displayed in the Om Nom logo. If the chosen symbols form a win, a multiplier spinner will activate and reveal a multiplier of 2x to 100x. The base values for winning combinations may seem tiny, but it is this feature that can turn those figures into big numbers.

The second feature is the Free Spins bonus, triggered when 3 free spins symbols appear. During this bonus round, the Mystery symbol and Multiplier Spinner remain in play, while Wild symbols are introduced to the reels. Again, this seems like a minor addition at first sight, but the likelihood of creating winning combinations matter so much in Om Nom because it maximises the utilisation of the multiplier.
