slingo space invaders slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

I can remember years ago, my Uncle owned a cafe on the seafront where we lived, and in the corner was Space Invaders, which was 10p a play at the time. Who would have thought all those years ago I'd later be referencing the machine I spent hours on in a review of a video slot version that can be played on the internet. I actually Googled how much they are to buy now, and you're looking at anything north of £2,500 for the old retro cabinet, but it is worth every penny, no doubt. I had to have a good think of any other games we have on our platform with the same theme, and I suddenly remembered Inspired Gaming released both a Space Invaders slot and Space Invaders Roulette, which are both worth having a look at just to see how the theme was used if nothing else.

There isn't really a great deal to report regarding the paytable on Slingo Space Invaders, as there are just three main symbols that carry a multiplier award. These are the Octopus at 0.1x, a Crab at 0.2x, and finally the Squid at 0.4x. These values seem particularly low, but as we will discover later, these can be increased in the bonus game the higher up the Slingo ladder you exchange.

It's onto the bet selection next, and you choose to play from a minimum of €0.10 a game up to a maximum of €100. This initial price to play will buy you 12 spins of the number reel. Whilst this may seem like great value if you pick a higher stake to play at, remember that you can purchase extra spins after the initial 12 have ended, and the further into the game you progress, the more expensive the spins cost to buy.

We did see a bit of a change in reel format on the last title we reviewed from Slingo Originals, which was their Slingo's Cosmic Clusters game, but they have reverted to the classic set-up on Slingo Space Invaders with a 5x5 bingo-style card in play with a rolling reel below it that spins in different numbers each time you press start.

The name of the game is to mark off as many numbers as possible within the playfield, with each line or (Slingo) that you complete moving you one position further up the ladder. As mentioned in the previous section, once your initial 12 spins have ended, you can buy additional spins one at a time. There are also some special symbols that can appear on the number reel to help you out and UFOs that fly above the reels that you can shoot down, so let's find out more about them.

The Space Invaders Bonus Game is represented on the Slingo Ladder by an icon showing three invaders. Different bonus game multipliers will be applied to the aliens in the bonus round depending on how far up the ladder you were when you exchanged. These range from 1x up to a maximum of 50x.
