It boggles the mind, are we alone or not? We’ve had the opportunity of finding the answer in the Invaders Megaways release, hence we return once again to fight off the aliens and prevail with amazing prizes in the Invaders Takeover online slot.
Software provider SG Interactive sets two bonus games, the Alien Attack and Free Spins, while allowing players to experiment around and play with the Premium Play and Gamble options.
Theme and Symbols
Although the majority of the user interface remains unchanged, there are a couple of enhancements and improvements regarding the visual appearance of the game. This time around, we find ourselves in the Alien battleship, perhaps the best place to find out their plans and put a stop to the foreigner attack.
Game Logo, Scientist, Alien, Flying Cow and A-9 royals make up for the regular paying symbols in this online edition. The Alien Battleship is the Wild Symbol while Portal-like Icon represents the Bonus Scatter.
Betting Options and Features
Punters begin the anti-attack on a 6x4 grid setup with 4,096 ways to win with a potential of playing with a maximum of 10,000,00 ways to win. With the betting range of 0.20 - 10.00 credits, we’ve seen better options in SG Interactive’s online games.
However, there are a couple of things to impact the betting range, which we’ll get to in just a moment. The game’s best odds sit at 96.10% while the attack occurs on a highly volatile tide.
First off, we have the Alien Attack Bonus. When 2 Scatters appear, there’s a chance for the feature to occur. If the onboard computer displays “Threat Detected”, the feature kicks in. The 2 Scatters turn into Wilds and a laser gun shoots Icons, transforming them into Wilds as well.
Between 3-5 Wild Symbols are added in this bonus.
Then, we have the Free Spins feature. It requires at least 3 Scatters to activate and allow players to pick 1 of 3 planets. By doing so, the number of won Free Spins is revealed. 4 reel positions above reels 2-5 are added for the duration of the feature.
These are empty until they get activated. If a Wild appears on reels 2-5, it flies up into the special reel position and becomes active for the subsequent spin. Any Wilds that get added above the reels are locked in their positions until the end of the feature.
Moreover, when more than a single Wild is awarded per reel, it displays a multiplier on the Wild Symbol. It is also possible to retrigger the feature.
Now, let’s talk about the game-changing feature called Premium Play. It increases the stakes by 50% whilst introducing the Space Wheel Bonus. It is triggered in the base game when a win worth more than 1.6x the Premium Play Bet is scored. The Space Wheel spins to award either Free Spins or 1x-5x the bet.
Similarly, the Gamble feature is also available. When winning 5x the bet or 2.5x the Premium Play Bet, the gamble feature occurs. It can award either Free Spins or Cash Prizes, depending on whether you land on the green or red segments of the Wheel.
Wrapping Up
Truth to be told, the Invaders Takeover online slot might not be the most feature-packed experience out there, but it definitely manages to provide a whole lot of fun and entertainment, especially when using the Premium Play and Gamble options.
All things said and done, a set of exciting bonus features combined with innovative mechanics make this online one-armed bandit a must-try experience. In other words, a job amazingly well done by SG Interactive.
