Space Spins

Ever since Starburst rocked the industry with the sci-fi theme these sort of games have been super popular. However, they hardly ever reach the same quality. What is the case with Space Spins then? The game is produced by Electric Elephant Games for Microgaming, so there’s certainly quality in the play. Graphics and gameplay features play a big role here. Read more below or just try the game demo straight away!

Theme

The graphics and symbols are a bit whacky, but they are all done with consistent style and quality. There are animations running on the sidelines, with the background itself revealing a rather dead landscape. The music is quite fitting for the emptiness of space, whereas the sound effects are mostly made by the aliens that hang around. The theme is not perfect, as the style simply won't fit all players, but it does a pretty good job for the rest of us.

Betting Options and Functions

The reels offer five times five setup, which is quite unusual. Through these travel forty paylines from left to right. You can bet between 0.20 and 100 coins per spin. Due to the multitude of paylines the bet might need to be a bit higher than the lowest to score sizeable wins.

The interface is quite modern and works well in desktops and mobiles alike. The game gives you all the important options from muting the game to reading the rules and adjusting autoplay options. You can also choose to enable the turbo play option, which cuts the time the reels spin to a minimal. The slot has medium volatility.

Features

The wilds only exist on the middle reels but can expand to the outer reels, depending on the symbol. There are a total of three different wilds, which is a welcome surprise. One of these expand from up or down, another expand left or right, and a third one expands to all adjacent positions. There is also a standard wild, which can transform into any of the others at random.

Three free spins symbols trigger eight bonus games. The symbols show up only on reels one, three and five. During the bonus games all wilds, even the ones that expand, will stick to the reels for the entire duration of the feature.

Our Take

Space Spins makes big promises but doesn’t quite redeem all of them. The game is interesting but doesn’t really offer sizeable wins. The bonus games could have used a bit more action, as now they are over too fast. Still, the game is fun, it is a quality production, and if the wilds land just right you can fill the entire five times five reel setup with winning combinations. But do you really feel that lucky? Perhaps try this game in demo mode first
