Asteroids

If you’re a fan of your retro video slots and casino games, especially if you are an ‘80s baby, then you’re going to enjoy PariPlay’s slot Asteroids which is styled based on that aesthetic. This slot is actually designed in collaboration with Atari who, as all gamers will know, is basically the king of 1980s video games.

So, visually this is a very exciting slot, but does it check out like a slot machine as well? At first glance, the RTP is a little low coming in at just 95%, and the max win is just 600x your stake, although there is a tonne of ways to win at 720 no less. Be aware though - this is ranked as a high variance number! 

There are definitely a few things that we loved about the Asteroids slot, but also a few things that could have been improved upon, so read on to find out what we thought of it overall and find out how to play.

Don’t forget that you can also spin on the Mega Reel and take part of the welcome bonus free spins offer where you can win up to 500 Free spins on Starburst (Ts & Cs Apply).

Statistics on this Slot

Here’s how this slot game looks on the statistical side of things.

RTP - 95%, which is a bit below average, but this is kind of part and parcel of a PariPlay slot.

Volatility - high, or medium-high at least, so be wary of it.

Minimum and maximum bets - 50p is actually a rather high starting bet, and then the top end of things is £50.

Paylines - the reel configuration is such that it offers 720 ways to win.

Reels - it’s a fairly rare reel set up here, a 3-4-5-4-3. This may take a bit of getting used to but it’s a lot of fun once you get the hang of it!

Bonuses - the free spins bonus round is quite a bit better than the standard free spins bonus round.

Wilds and Scatters - wilds expand and scatters unlock the free spins.

Maximum pay-out - 600x your stake, so nothing crazy.

*All of the above values are subject to change at any time.

Asteroids Bonuses and Exclusive Features 

Technically, there are 2 bonus features on offer in Asteroids slot as the wilds go a bit further than standard wilds in that they expand to fill whole reels at times can also become sticky at random. Both of these things can greatly increase your chances of winning which is always a good thing.

Anyhow, the bonus to actually get excited about is the free spins which, as mentioned, are better than a normal bunch of free spins. That’s because they have quite impressive multipliers attached to them. Let us explain.

3 scatters in a row will earn you the basic level of free spins, which is 10 with a 2x multiplier. However, if you get 4 scatters, you’ll get 20 free spins with a 5x multiplier. If you’re as lucky as you can be when playing Asteroids and get 5 scatters in a row, this will land you an awesome 30 free spins with a 20x multiplier! Holy moly.

Final Thoughts on this Slot

Aesthetically we adore this slot game, maybe not quite as much as the Ancient Fortunes: Zeus slot, as we do feel like this one could have done with a bit more action, maybe with some more bonus features thrown in there to mix things up a bit. With that being said, the free spins bonus round in the Asteroids slot has the potential to be very generous to players, so try to aim for that if you can! 6.5/10.
