OmNom Slot Review
Glazed doughnuts spell out the logo against pale quilted wallpaper, with pizza slices, popcorn and a pink character in a hat drifting across a candy-and-fast-food backdrop. The claim OmNom stakes out is an odd one for something this small: a single 100x multiplier spinner does more for its payout potential than most games manage with a full menu of bonus rounds. It’s Hacksaw Gaming‘s entry in their POCKETZ series of pocket-format mobile games.
It’s a lighter, softer thing than Wanted Dead or a Wild or Chaos Crew, the games the studio is best known for. The maths is compact to match: a 4×4 grid, 256 ways to win, RTP of 96.28% and a maximum feature win of 4800x the bet. Le Bandit and its siblings chase bigger numbers; OmNom is here for a quick snack.
Base Game & Features
The 4×4 grid pays through 256 ways, with wins formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel. Each winning combination creates a winning way, and multiple wins in a single round are added together into the total for the spin. Only the highest win per way is paid, so a way carrying a three-match and a four-match of the same symbol settles at the higher value.
Bets run from 0.20 to 200.00 per spin, adjustable through the bet display. Payouts are multiples of the total bet rather than a line bet, which matters on a ways game. Every wager is eligible for all winning combinations at once, so a spin carrying several different symbol matches pays each of them, with the round total shown in the win display as each combination is presented.
Symbols and Payouts
The paytable is food all the way down, topped by the Om Nom character itself. Values below are multiples of the total bet for three and four of a kind.
- Om Nom character (pink character with hat): 0.75x for three, 2x for four
- Pizza: 0.25x for three, 1x for four
- Fries: 0.25x for three, 1x for four, sharing a tier with Pizza
- Burger: 0.15x for three, 0.5x for four
- Popcorn: 0.1x for three, 0.4x for four
- Popsicle: 0.1x for three, 0.25x for four
- Chocolate Bar: 0.1x for three, 0.25x for four
- Cupcake: 0.1x for three, 0.25x for four, sharing the bottom tier with the Popsicle and Chocolate Bar
Those are modest numbers, and deliberately so. Two pairs of symbols share a tier, and the three sweets at the bottom share one value, so the effective spread runs from five distinct pay levels. Nothing in the table on its own pays the bet back four times over. The multiplier feature exists to close that gap.
It’s a steep little ladder, too. The drop from the Om Nom character’s 2x top payout to Pizza and Fries at 1x halves the four-of-a-kind value in one step, and everything from Popcorn down pays 0.4x or less at the top end. A round made entirely of bottom-tier four-of-a-kinds still returns less than a single bet.
The Multiplier Feature
Every round, a symbol is randomly generated and displayed inside the OmNom logotype at the top of the screen. That’s the mystery symbol, and it changes from spin to spin. It’s the one thing to watch on every spin of the base game.
If the mystery symbol matches one of the symbols in a winning combination, the multiplier spinner starts up. The win on the matching symbol, and only that symbol’s win, is then multiplied by whatever the spinner lands on, up to 100x.
The order of events matters for what this feature is worth. A normal win lands first, the mystery symbol then has to be the one that won, and only then does the spinner spin. There’s no skill or choice in it; the round either lines up or it doesn’t.
The remaining wins on the round, if there are any, pay at their normal value. A spin can therefore carry both a multiplied and an unmultiplied win side by side. On a table whose top symbol pays 2x, that 100x spinner is the difference between a forgettable round and a genuinely large one.
Autoplay and Speed Options
Autoplay runs a chosen number of rounds automatically, with the remaining count displayed while it runs. Advanced settings add a total session loss limit and a single win limit, and autoplay stops the moment either is exceeded.
Turbo Play strips the animations back for the fastest possible round, activated from the menu, though it isn’t offered by every operator. Keyboard shortcuts cover sound, music, bet changes and the paytable for anyone playing at a desk rather than on a phone.
OmNom Free Spins
Triggering the Round
Three FREE SPIN symbols award the free spin feature. The symbol can only land on the first three reels, which keeps the trigger window narrow: three of the four reels are eligible, and you need all three to connect in a single spin.
Once the round begins, the free spin symbol itself disappears from the reels. Nothing else changes about the ways mechanic; the base game’s winning requirements carry over into the feature.
What You Get
The feature awards eight free spins. Extra WILD symbols are added to the reels throughout the round to raise the chance of landing winning combinations. That’s the whole bonus: no picks, no ladders, no extra mechanics layered on top.
Wilds step in for other symbols to complete winning ways, and with more of them on the reels the ways connect far more often than in the base game. Every spin’s total shows in the win field while the accumulating total for the whole round runs alongside the count of remaining spins, so the running picture is always visible.
The multiplier feature continues to run inside free spins, since the base game’s winning requirements apply unless stated otherwise. A wild-heavy spin whose winning symbol also matches the mystery symbol is where the big results live.
The 4800x maximum is a feature win cap, so it’s the free spins round, stacked with wilds and a favourable multiplier spin, where the ceiling is reachable. A single round does all the heavy lifting if it arrives at all.
Stripped to its bones, the round-to-round play looks like this:
- A mystery symbol generates inside the logotype on every spin, base game and free spins alike
- Matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel form winning ways, 256 of them in total
- A mystery symbol that matches a winner fires the multiplier spinner, worth up to 100x on that symbol’s win only
- Three FREE SPIN symbols on reels one to three award eight free spins with extra wilds on the reels
- Wins from multiple ways in one round add together, with only the highest win per way paid
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7/10
OmNom is a game for the gaps: the bus stop, the ad break, the three minutes before the kettle boils. The doughnut-bright looks match that pace exactly, and lightness is the one honest reason to pick it up. Rounds resolve in seconds, and nothing here asks more of you than a glance.
The mystery symbol is the clever part. With a paytable that tops out at 2x, the spinner is the only route to a round worth remembering, and it gives every spin something live to watch rather than just waiting on the reels. That’s a neat piece of design for a format this size.
The weakness is what isn’t there. Eight free spins with extra wilds is the entire bonus menu, and a 4800x ceiling is modest next to the studio’s bigger titles. Once the spinner’s novelty fades, there isn’t much underneath. It’s one for quick sessions and small screens, bright and easy to put down, and not for anyone after a long grind towards a five-figure result. The doughnuts, at least, never go stale.
