Soju Bomb is a Habanero slot that the studio's own site dates to 2022: five reels of three, 243 ways and a spin of 25 coins times the bet level, set in a neon bar. Three or more SOJU BOMB scatters open a drinking game in two stages, where toppled shot glasses decide how many free games you get, from 5 to 15, and their multiplier, from x1 to x11. Habanero rates the volatility medium and lists a maximum multiplier of x1,643.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as Habanero publishes it.

How Soju Bomb pays
Habanero's game page lists five reels of three rows and '243 Ways (25 Coins)'. Every spin buys all 243: the demo's rules fix the cost at 25 coins, and you choose only the coin (0.01 up to 20) and a bet level of 1, 2, 5, 7 or 10, which the Help multiplies the 25 coins by.
A way pays 'if in succession from the leftmost reel to the right', and only the 'longest combination' counts on each way. Wins of different combinations are added, so two peaches on the first reel and one on each of the next two make two ways of three peaches, by our reading of those rules.
The wild, three foaming beer glasses over the word WILD, 'substitutes for all symbols except' the scatter. On its own it pays only for five on a way. The scatter is the neon SOJU BOMB sign drawn as a bomb with a lit fuse: it pays anywhere, and its wins 'are multiplied by total bet' instead of the bet level.
What a way pays on a R12.50 spin
Amounts from the pay pages of Habanero's free demo, which opens at a 12.50 spin: coin 0.50, bet level 1. The rand sign, the symbol names (read from the pictures) and the last column, each five-symbol pay over the 12.50 stake, are ours.
| Symbol | Five | Four | Three | Five, x bet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SOJU BOMB scatter, anywhere | R625 | R125 | R25 | 50x |
| Wild beer glasses | R400 | - | - | 32x |
| Peach | R250 | R75 | R12.50 | 20x |
| Cherries | R125 | R50 | R10 | 10x |
| Grapes | R75 | R37.50 | R7.50 | 6x |
| Lemon | R50 | R25 | R7.50 | 4x |
| Blue shot glass | R25 | R12.50 | R5 | 2x |
| Red shot glass | R15 | R7.50 | R4 | 1.2x |
| Purple shot glass | R10 | R5 | R2.50 | 0.8x |
| Yellow shot glass | R7.50 | R4 | R1.50 | 0.6x |
Fruit on top, shot glasses below
The four fruits are the rules' high win symbols and the four shot glasses the low ones. On a R12.50 spin three peaches on one way return R12.50, the stake; every other three on a way returns less, down to R1.50 for yellow glasses.
Three scatters anywhere return twice the total bet, five return 50 times it. The game page's 'Max Multiplier' field reads x1,643; at R12.50 a spin that would be R20,537.50, our multiplication. Habanero does not explain the figure and the pay pages state no win cap, so we give it as the studio's number only.
The Soju Bomb feature, stage by stage
Habanero's page sums it up as 'Swipe to Soju Bomb!' and 'Topple the shot glasses to win up to 15 Free Games and x11 Multipliers!'. The rules:
- 'The feature triggers when 3 Or More' SOJU BOMB 'symbols appear anywhere'. Those scatters also pay their own amount from the table.
- 'The player will be presented with two stages of the Soju Bomb drinking game. The player must swipe to topple the shot glasses.'
- First stage: 'the shot glasses landing in the beer glasses is the awarded free games. The player can win 5 to 15 free games.'
- Second stage: 'the shot glasses landing in the beer glasses is the awarded multiplier. The player can win X1 to X11.'
- 'Free games start once free games and the multiplier are awarded.'
Inside the free games
- No scatters, no retrigger. The rules: SOJU BOMB symbols 'do not appear during Free Games', and 'the feature cannot be retriggered'. The count set in the first stage is the count you play.
- Same bet as the trigger. 'Free games are played at the number of ways bet and the bet level of the triggering game'.
- The multiplier. The second stage sets it, from X1 to X11. The rules call it 'the awarded multiplier'; Habanero's page says the glasses 'multiply your winnings'. Neither spells out which wins it multiplies.
Does the swipe change anything?
The swipe is the one moment where the game asks you to act. The rules give no way to aim: they say only that the glasses landing in the beer glasses are the award. The Help adds that the RTP 'can not be affected by the player strategy (unless stated otherwise)', and the feature's rules state nothing otherwise. By our reading, the swipe shows a result rather than deciding it.
The same goes for the base game: no bet level, coin size or pattern of bets beats the house edge.
Jackpot Race, buys and casino extras
- A race in the demo. The demo's Help describes the race set up on that test server: a two-hour race phase in which the jackpot must trigger, and finish places for the bets 'closest to the trigger'. The amounts and timing belong to that setup, not to the game, and 'Jackpots cannot be won during Fun Play or Bonus Play.'
- The casino's choice. Habanero sells Jackpot Race, Bonus Free Spins and UP Tournaments as tools a casino switches on: 'Switch a tool on and it goes live across whichever brands and titles you point it at.' Your casino may show any of them or none.
- Nothing to buy. Under More Info, Habanero's game page marks SuperBet and Buy Feature as not part of Soju Bomb, so the free games open only from three or more scatters.

Soju Bomb FAQ
How do you trigger free games in Soju Bomb?
Three or more SOJU BOMB scatters anywhere on the reels start the Soju Bomb feature. Its first stage awards 5 to 15 free games and its second a multiplier from x1 to x11; the free games start once both are set. Scatters do not appear in the free games, so they cannot be retriggered.
Can you aim the swipe in the Soju Bomb feature?
The rules only say you must swipe to topple the shot glasses and that the glasses landing in the beer glasses are the award. The Help says the RTP cannot be affected by player strategy unless stated otherwise, and the feature states nothing otherwise.
What is the RTP of Soju Bomb?
There is no single figure. Habanero's page lists 'Available RTPs ~ 86%, 92%, 94%, 97%, 98%', one of which the casino runs, while the How to Play help in the studio's own demo states 96.64%. Your casino's How to Play screen names the version it uses.
What is the maximum win on Soju Bomb?
The game page gives a Max Multiplier of x1,643, which at R12.50 a spin comes to R20,537.50 by our multiplication. In the pay table the top amounts are five scatters at 50 times the bet and five wilds on a way at 32 times; the feature can add a multiplier of up to x11.
Can you buy the bonus in Soju Bomb?
No. Habanero's feature list for the game crosses out Buy Feature and SuperBet, so three scatters are the only way into the free games. Jackpot Race and tournaments appear only where the casino has switched them on.
