Space Colonization
Theme & Atmosphere
A futuristic colony on a faraway planet is the backdrop in Space Colonization. Rocket towers and space-age buildings stretch out behind the grid, with everything in neon blues and purples. The symbols are a mix of animated characters and alien flora – an Astronaut, a Robot, a City, Crystal Trees, and Purple Crystals are the premiums, with Card Royals from 10 through to A filling the rest of the paytable below them.
Feature Overview
There are two big features to be aware of in Space Colonization. The first is the Free Spins Round, which is triggered by 3 or more Spaceship Scatters appearing on the grid. 3 Scatters get you 10 Free Spins, 4 give you 15, and 5 mean 20.
Then there’s the Wild Multiplier system that kicks in during Free Spins. A Wild on the second reel multiplies any win it’s part of by 3x, a Wild on the fourth reel gives a 5x Multiplier, and when both reels have Wilds as part of the same combination, you get a 15x Multiplier.
Technical Specs & Mechanics
Space Colonization is played on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 243 Ways to Win. Wins pay left to right. One thing to note is that the Commander Wild only appears on reels 2 and 4, and it substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter. During Free Spins, random symbols on the grid may turn into Wilds before a spin resolves, which ties in with the Multiplier system.
Bet & Paytable Analysis
Bets go from 0.25 to 200 per spin. The Astronaut is the top-paying regular symbol at 80x for 5 of a kind. The City pays 32x, the Robot 20x, the Crystal Tree 16x, and the Purple Crystals 8x. Card Royals range from 6x for an A down to 1x for the J and 10, so the range is pretty wide. The Spaceship Scatter also has its own payouts – 50x for 5, 20x for 4, and 5x for 3 – on top of triggering the Free Spins Round.
Unique Selling Points
- Tiered Wild Multipliers: Wild symbols on reels 2 and 4 during Free Spins apply 3x, 5x, or a combined 15x Multiplier, depending on which reels they’re on.
- Random Free Spins Wilds: Additional Wild symbols can appear at random during Free Spins, increasing the chance of connecting those Multiplier tiers.
