Orbital Mining Slot Review 2024

Orbital Mining

Orbital Mining is a 5 reel slot which has a maximum of 25 paylines and is a Top Game creation. The $2,500 that is offered as the top jackpot might not look like much, but the science fiction theme that the slot is going for works very well and it's quite entertaining. Wild symbols, free spins, scatters and bonus games are all available at features thereby improving the game further.

Science fiction slot machines aren't that common these days, not as much as they should be anyway. Orbital Mining is a great example of a title with this topic, a game that involves actual mining for resources in orbit, using asteroids, something that is still the stuff of science fiction for us. The background of the game is the orbit of some planet, with its rings visible in the bottom left corner, and with various asteroid and the rest of space visible everywhere else. The symbols consist of different types of resources that you can mine, each one offering an image of the material, the molecular structure and a symbol (Qe, Ac, Kg, D10, Jx). The other symbols are images with different characters, including four women with 1 to 4 stars in their ranks, a robot called Max, an Atomic scatter and a Space Guardian as the wild.

You will notice that the wagers are pretty standard stuff, using on each of the 25 bet lines a single coin. That coin is going to go from $0.01 to $5, so you can adjust the wager as you need it, with the maximum value being $125. Top payouts offer up to 500x the line bet, so up to $2,500 can be won through regular symbols. The scatter offers a 100x multiple of the total bet though, so its prize goes up to $12,500.

The wild symbol is the typical substitution feature that you can expect in every game these days. The cool part is the symbol that's representing it, an image of a Space Guardian, which looks like some type of soldier. The wild can't substitute for a scatter and it doesn't have any prizes of its own.

You can get into the bonus game with the help of 3+ Atomic symbols. It's called Smuggled Goods Scan and it can get you up to 33 games for free, with 6x multipliers. Scatters also have their own prizes to offer, 2x to 100x the bet value, when there are 2 to 5 of them present.

For fans of the science fiction genre, Orbital Mining could be a good way to spend time. It's has a retro sci-fi look to it that is appealing, plus a couple of decent features thrown into the mix to add to its allure.
