Zoom

6 Zoom Areas of 2×2 Symbols

The first thing to note about this 2016 summer release is the Zoom areas.

The entire reel-set is divided into 6 such areas with 4 symbols in each one. And as you can see from the images, the overall size of the reel-set is 4×6.

What’s the point of having these Zoom areas?

Well, that’s when these “Z” symbols come into play. You need these Scatter icons to form Massive and Super Massive Symbols.

It’s all About the Z’s – Massive Symbols and Re-Spins

Now that we know about the Zoom areas, here’s how to use them to your advantage.

Each 1 of 6 zoom areas can contain just one Zoom symbol per spin. Whenever you manage to get one on the screen, it’ll expand into a Massive Symbol. Massive Symbol = a symbol that occupies the entire Zoom area (2×2 area).

It’s chosen randomly from the paytable that features classic fruit machine symbols like cherries, lemons, watermelons, grapes, liberty bells, 7’s and stars.

By the way, all basic symbols and the Wild appear stacked by default as well.

Once the Zoom symbol has transformed into the massive one, you get a free re-spin. This means that all of the Zoom areas will re-spin to give you more chances of winning with at least one Massive Symbol.

If you manage to trigger yet another Zoom symbol anywhere on the remaining Zoom areas then you’ll win the 2^nd re-spin.

This can continue for a total of 6 re-spins.

And this is when the Super Massive Symbols come in.

Bigger is Better – How to Form Super Massive Symbols?

To form a Massive Symbol you need just one Zoom icon per each Zoom area.

But to win even more, you have to be lucky enough to land the Zoom Scatter on 4 adjacent Zoom areas. In return you’ll win the Super Massive Symbol that covers all 4 Zoom areas (4×4 area).

And as you may already guess, you’ll also get a free re-spin to help you make the most out of the remaining 2 Zoom areas.

Just remember that the Wild card is part of the game too, so your chances of hitting something nice on each spin are that much better.

3 Untold Facts about Zoom Mobile Slot

Having covered the basics, here’s some more advanced info.

See how well it matches your expectations and compares to other Thunderkick (mobile) slots.

So how good are your chances of winning a decent return?

The probability of hitting an “Ultra Win” or 80x and above your total stake is 1 in 1,124.

This is more than you get with The Rift (1 in 1,270) or Arcader (1 in 3,802), although all of the three are played at a medium variance.

Hit frequency and variance – where Zoom stands?

When it comes to frequency of pays, the Zoom slot is about average (at least in Thunderkick’s portfolio).

For games that trigger wins even more often, have a go at the 1429 Uncharted Seas slot, on which you can hit a win 1/3 more frequently than on Zoom. Plus, it’s played at a low variance or risk.

For high variance but just as frequent pays you cannot go wrong with Fruit Warp, which looks more like an arcade than a video slot.

Maximum expected payout on Zoom?

The official data shows that you can win up to 1,500x your total stake.

Among the total of 13 Thunderkick slots, this is an average result. For comparison, the Esqueleto Explosivo jackpot stands at 700x the total bet. The most you can win is on the Fruit Warp, where you can expect payouts reach a win multiplier of up to 11,000x.
