Galactica

This slot by MGA is not about Battlestar Galactica if that’s what you’re wondering.Instead, it’s a rather complicated slot that seems to come with plenty of refreshing features that will keep you busy for quite a bit. There are two different reels for big and small wins, some audio effects to keep your ears busy, and swell graphics to make the game look good on both mobile and desktop devices alike. Jump in and have a spin, but read the instructions first!

Theme

Different kinds of gems and plenty of different sevens line up on the reels. The game has taken a lot of influence from both modern and classic slots and plays a bit like both of them. The audio effects are a bit lacking, at least in terms of music, but otherwise, this game has plenty of exciting features to offer. The base game has pretty much nothing to do with the theme, which comes into play only when you make it to the upper game.

Betting Options and Functions

The lower set of reels only have one payline, running straight across the reels, of which there are three in four rows. You can bet from 5 to 75 credits per spin, with the actual amount of money bet depending on the way the casino has set it all up.

The bet level influences mostly the top level payment, with the low-paying symbols dishing out relatively minor prizes. This is certainly a game for high rollers. The main game will pay out some considerable wins if you are lucky enough, so there’s no need to go for the upper set of reels. In reality though, you’re more likely to land those big wins in the higher set of reels.

Features

Whenever you land a win you can change them to gems, which you can then use to play on the higher set of reels. Here you have up to eight paylines in use, with the actual amount going up and down depending how many stars you have spotted on the lines.

During the base game, you can land nudges, which move individual reels to spot new symbols. Likewise, if there are two identical symbols and you need a third one the hold feature comes into play automatically, giving you an extra chance to score wins.

There are four mini-games that come into play with certain symbols. Three crystals activate free games, with some added prize picks to make sure you don’t walk away with empty pockets. Three diamonds in the upper reels activate a board game with random wins, and three planets launch the orbital platform with its own reels and wins. Three galaxies, in turn, give you the chance to find your route to big wins, if you get far enough.

Our Take

The game is full of random features. The downside of Galactica is that you need to play the upper reels, which use both the gems and credits to run. You need to win to win big. This is also the enticing feature in this slot. Certainly not for everyone, and definitely not easy to learn, but those who spend more than a few spins will fall in love with this game.
