Cosmic Quest - Mission Control

Mission Control, the first of two slots from the Cosmic Quest series, was created by the developers from Rival Gaming, which included in it 5 reels, with 15 paylines on them. The jackpot of $12,500 is accompanied by features like the wild, scatters, free spins and multipliers.

Fans of arcade games might enjoy this slot as well, with its theme that takes us in a scenario where invaders from space are coming to Earth, trying to take it away from us. It's a colorful slot, with space as the background for each symbol, while on it you will find various colorful characters and objects. The logo takes the top part of the screen and the reels occupy the rest of the space available. Three symbols with additional roles are used here, and they are the spaceship (the wild), the space monkey (scatter with free spins) and the female astronaut (scatter with bonus game). As for the regular symbols chosen for this game, you will find images with space helmets, tubes with space food, space probes, a radio antenna, the laser gun, a dog in a space suit, an orbital station and a male astronaut.

For each payline that the player wants to bet on, he can use a maximum of 10 coins, which have values of up to $0.25. The top bet can use up to 150 coins, and if they're at full value the wager amounts to $37.50. A maximum prize of 50,000 coins is winnable in this game, with a cash value of up to $12,500.

The game benefits from the presence of a wild symbol, a simple feature in this case, which substitutes for other symbols when it's possible to create a new winning combo this way. The same wild awards the game's big prize, 5000 times the line bet, when there are five of them on the same payline. The payline needs to be active, so it's a good idea to bet on all the paylines.

Free spins can be won as well in this episode of Cosmic Quest, 10 of them total, and a minimum of three space monkeys are necessary for that to happen. The wild symbol is limited to the first three reels during the free spins.

The final feature of the slot is the bonus round, triggered by the appearance of three female astronaut symbols, anywhere on the slot's reels. The player gets to shoot his way through an asteroid field, playing an arcade game by using his keyboard.

It's an exciting little game if you're a fan of the arcade, and the presence of a real space shooter bonus round is definitely a plus for the players.
