Syztmz comes up big with clutch bonus round on Rocket Blast slot
Syztmz’s recent session on Pragmatic Play’s Rocket Blast is a masterclass on how to use a slot’s bonus round opportunities to hit big.
Slots give players plenty to interact with on-screen, but ultimately, it’s the RNG and built-in payout model that does the heavy lifting. The good news for players is that every slot offers opportunities for payouts over time based on their volatility and RTP, and Syztmz was willing to be patient in looking for his own chance to score.
On a recent Kick stream, the streamer showed exactly why he keeps pulling big wins out of setups that look completely dead to his fans watching along live.
Syztmz scores massive win on Rocket Blast
Developer Pragmatic Play’s Rocket Blast is built around late-round progressions, rewarding the players who sit through potentially slow session starts instead of quitting out early. Syztmz clearly knows when a slot still has gas left in the tank, and his patience during his recent stream turned what looked like a lacking bonus into a clean win.

It was on this latest Kick stream that Syztmz entered Rocket Blast Megaways’ bonus round on Stake with a modest $6 base bet. Pragmatic’s Rocket Blast uses the Megaways system, meaning each reel displays a different number of symbols per spin, creating up to 117,649 ways to win and bumping up the hit potential.
Despite that, the game’s high slot volatility, combined with its ever-changing reel heights, can also lead to dry stretches between its major payout chances.
Syzmtz’s win came from the game’s progressive win multiplier. It started near 20x and climbed throughout the sequence, eventually hitting 30x as the game just kept on delivering alien clusters. This progressive win multiplier applies to all wins throughout the slot’s bonus round, helping turn smaller base payouts into much bigger totals by the round’s conclusion. The Scatter symbol appears as a rocket ship, shown locked into place several times.
However, Syztmz needed more pink aliens, which is exactly what the slot delivered in the following spins. Those deliveries shot his balance up to $9,000 as the multiplier kept climbing with each tumble. The final few spins skyrocketed his balance to a whopping $12,000, as Syztmz reminded everyone that he was well in the green after the impressive bonus round hit on Rocket Blast.
The win hit was that much sweeter because he’d already burned through a stack of duds beforehand in other slots. But by picking the right time to trigger a high-value bonus round, Systmz was able to jump right back on top of his session, impressing his live viewers on Kick in the process.
