Boomerang Studios: Slots and Games
Boomerang Studios is a UK Gambling Commission-licensed slot developer (account number 60358) founded in 2018 by a team with a combined 23 years in land-based and online game design. Rather than distributing independently, Boomerang builds and releases its titles through Yggdrasil’s YG Masters programme, using Yggdrasil’s GATI development toolkit alongside fellow YG Masters partner ReelPlay. That route gives a relatively small studio access to Yggdrasil’s much larger network of licensed operators without having to build that distribution itself. On SlotsLike, Boomerang is currently represented by Alice In Lollyland, a candy-Wonderland release built around a guaranteed, countdown-triggered wild feature called Wild Storm.

Top Boomerang Studios Slots
Alice In Lollyland is the only Boomerang release SlotsLike has reviewed in full so far, so it takes the card slot below. The rest of the list is drawn from Boomerang’s own published catalogue; we have not yet built full reviews for these, so they appear as plain text rather than links until that work is done.
A candy-Wonderland retelling built around the Wild Storm feature, where a marked Border converts to a Wild every tenth spin.
Other titles in Boomerang’s public catalogue include Lady Merlin Lightning Chase (a fantasy-themed release built with Yggdrasil’s Double Max mechanic), Gems of Egypt (an Ancient Egypt-themed title from the studio’s earlier catalogue), Wild Joker Blitz (a playing-card and joker themed release), New Year Carnival: First 3 Wonders (a carnival and Lunar New Year themed slot), and Orca’s Wild Bonanza, an aquatic-themed release built with fellow YG Masters partner ReelPlay. None of these are reviewed on SlotsLike yet.
Features Boomerang Studios Is Known For
Wild Storm and Border Markers
Boomerang’s clearest signature idea is turning a bonus trigger into something visible and countable rather than a hidden random chance. Alice In Lollyland is the clearest example: Keyhole symbols leave Border markers on the grid, and a fixed ten-spin counter converts every marker to a Wild at once.
See the Wild Storm feature explained in full, including how the free spins round changes the pace of the countdown.
Boom Bet and Connecta Ways
Away from Alice In Lollyland, Boomerang also publishes an optional ante-bet system called Boom Bet, which lets players pay extra for enhanced feature odds, and a Connecta Ways mechanic that pays on matching symbols touching anywhere on the grid rather than along a fixed payline. Neither appears in Alice In Lollyland itself, which sticks to a simpler 25 fixed-payline structure, but both turn up elsewhere in the studio’s wider catalogue.
Related Theme: Candy Slots
Alice In Lollyland sits inside SlotsLike’s candy theme grouping alongside plenty of other sugar-coated releases from unrelated studios. If the confectionery art style is what drew you to Boomerang’s game, these are a reasonable next stop.
A high-volatility candy kingdom release from Just For The Win, with a wild collection meter rather than a fixed countdown.
A sweets-themed train ride built on cluster wins instead of fixed paylines.
A storybook candy setting built around a money-symbol collector mechanic.

About Boomerang Studios
Origins and the YG Masters route
Boomerang Studios was founded in 2018 by a team that brought a combined 23 years of experience across land-based and online game design, including work on scratch card and jackpot products for specialty markets such as Asia. Rather than trying to build direct commercial relationships with dozens of operators from a standing start, the studio chose to release through Yggdrasil’s YG Masters programme, which supplies a standardised, regulation-ready development toolkit called GATI. That decision let Boomerang concentrate on game design and maths while Yggdrasil’s existing operator network handled distribution, and it is the same route taken by fellow YG Masters partner ReelPlay, with whom Boomerang has co-developed several titles including Orca’s Wild Bonanza and Going Wild in Vegas WildFight.
A smaller, more selective catalogue
Boomerang describes its own approach as treating every operator partnership as a long-term relationship with dedicated account management, rather than chasing the widest possible distribution. That shows up in the size of its catalogue: where some studios ship dozens of titles a year, Boomerang’s public output sits in the region of a dozen games since 2018, spread across themes as varied as Ancient Egypt, aquatic adventure, playing-card fantasy and, with Alice In Lollyland, a candy-coated take on Wonderland.
What carries across the catalogue
Even across different themes, a handful of Boomerang ideas recur. The studio likes mechanics that are visible and countable on screen, such as the Wild Storm timer in Alice In Lollyland, rather than bonuses that trigger on pure hidden chance. It also uses Connecta Ways for adjacency-based wins on some titles and offers an optional Boom Bet ante-stake on others, giving operators and players a couple of different maths shapes to choose from without the studio needing an enormous back catalogue to do it.
