Introduction to Rocket Eruption XXX
Rocket Eruption XXX is a casino slot from Light & Wonder that brings us on an explosive, volcano, and rocket theme Jackpot adventure. Not all too long before this game’s release, we saw Rocket Eruption: Triple Blast, a game with the same theme, settings, and visuals, but with a completely different gameplay loop, which we had mixed feelings about. In a way, this is a spiritual sequel, but we’re not so sure we would go that far, as the gameplay here in Rocket Eruption XXX is quite a bit different. Starting off, here we have a 3x3 playing grid with some pretty simple features, including Multipliers that can appear on any reel and add to any winning combination they’re part of. But the Multipliers are just there to help make the base game slightly more interesting, as the main feature of the game is the Jackpot Round bonus game, which lets you spin away on the reels until you hit one of five jackpots, ranging up to 1,000X the bet. With the simple spins, straightforward features, and symbols of BARs and 7s, this game is a bit more on the old-school side and comes with a max win of 2,500X the bet.
Take a vacation to an island with an active volcano and nonstop rockets flying about. If you want to try the game for yourself, we would recommend checking out the Rocket Eruption XXX demo beforehand.
Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Rocket Eruption XXX is a video slot from Avatar UX with 3 Reels, 3 Rows, and 9 Paylines. You can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.1 and a Max.bet of 300. Rocket Eruption XXX comes with a lower-than-average RTP of 94% and medium/high volatility, which can make wins feel explosive but also a bit lacking, as the max win sits at 2,500X the bet.
The game is set in a lush tropical forest, with a large volcano in the background and various misfired rockets stuck in it. The playing grid is built as a temple entrance, with its 5 Jackpot Symbols embedded in the top. You can play the game on most notepads, desktops, and mobiles.
The lower-paying symbols are BARs that come in 3 forms, single, double, and triple. Creating a win with a mix, or 3 of a kind of these BAR symbols, will pay out 0.2X to 3X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are 7 and Firey 7. Creating a win with a mix of 7s or 3 of a kind will pay out 2X to 100X the bet. The Special Symbols are Wild Symbols, being able to pay out 500X for 3 of the same kind, and the Multiplier and Rocket Overlay Symbols, but more on those in the next section.

What features are available in the slot Rocket Eruption XXX?
The features are Wild Symbols, Multipliers, and Jackpot Round.
Wild Symbols
Wild Symbols can be found on all reels, and help form winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols.
Multipliers
Multipliers can sometimes show up on random symbols, and if part of a winning combination, Multipliers are added together and then multiply the winning combination.
Multiplier 2X = Can show up on all reels.
Multiplier 3X = Can show up on reels 1 and 3.
Multiplier 5X = Can show up on reel 2.
Jackpot Round
Rocket Symbols can randomly show up as part of other symbols, and will instantly be collected and have a random chance of triggering the Jackpot Round. During the Jackpot Round, reels 1 and 2 will spin and try to line up 2 of the same Jackpots, while the middle reel tries to land a Collector Symbol. When reels 1 and 2 have the same Jackpot, and a Collector lands, the respective Jackpot is paid out, and the reels will keep on spinning. The Jackpots are as follows:
Mini = Worth 25X.
Minor = Worth 50X.
Major = Worth 100X.
Mega = Worth 200X.
Max = Worth 1,000X.
Final Thoughts on Rocket Eruption XXX
When we first saw Rocket Eruption XXX, we were quite confused and mixed it up with Rocket Eruption: Triple Blast, as the two games are identical visually, thematically, and setting-wise, with only a handful of changes to the symbols and playing grid. It’s definitely not the first case of the same releases back to back, but this one stood slightly out to us as there were only a few months between releases, and the games are completely different when it comes to actual gameplay, which turned from a 3-Pot Bonus Game-centric game to a Jackpot game. But in a vacuum, Rocket Eruption XXX doesn’t look half bad, featuring a vibrant, colorful design with some slightly absurd comedic elements, such as the rocket-and-volcano combination. But even with how the game looks or how funny the theme is, we still need to talk about the game’s features and how well they perform, so let us move over to the gameplay section.
Like usual, we want to bring up the game’s stats, which aren’t the greatest, as we have a low RTP of 94% and a rather low max win of 2,500X the bet. When it comes to the paytable, this game is a bit all over the place, with most wins ranging from 0.2X to 5X, but also having the potential of hitting 500X by landing 3 Wild Symbols, and if you hit this with a 5X Multiplier, then you will be looking at instantly hitting the Max Win, even without engaging with the games main feature, the Jackpot Round Bonus Game. This bonus game is a bit of a mixed bag, with the good points being that it guarantees a Jackpot win ranging from 25X to 1,000X and that the Respin bonus game is somewhat exciting. However, overall, as the main feature and bonus game of Rocket Eruption XXX, it just doesn’t pull enough weight, and as we mentioned earlier, the Jackpots aren’t even the highest wins that you can hit. For leaning towards a bit more classic style, the game isn’t half-bad, but we also think that it doesn’t do much to really leave an impact, especially as the game is nearly indistinguishable from its previous release at a quick glance. But all in all, we do still think that there are fun spins to be had, albeit you should know what game you’re getting yourself into beforehand.
Rocket Eruption XXX is a slot that aims to be a spiritual sequel, featuring a whole new gameplay loop and Win Multipliers, along with a Jackpot bonus game.
