With footage taken directly from the movie, NetEnt’s Aliens video slot machine game is a real treat for fans. Its 3D graphics bring the game to life and make players feel like alien beings are invading their home.
Players will notice that the game’s control panel is modelled after the aliens’ spaceship. Its symbols are represented by the aliens themselves, as well as other characters that appeared in the movie. “Aliens” is a unique video slot machine because the game’s symbols are all alien eggs and monsters. The symbol with the lowest value in the game is the unhatched egg while the symbol with the highest value in the game is an adult sized monster. The game’s wild symbol is represented by the logo for The Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
Aliens Slot Features
The premise of one of the game’s special features is that players are embarking on a marine’s mission. The goal of the mission is to find the alien queen among all of the aliens and prevent her from laying eggs by killing her. With three different levels for players to tackle, more and more aliens appear in each level.
Level one of this feature s referred to as the Search. In this level players are tasked with filling their meter, which controls the amount of alien activity that takes place. Every time a player gets a winning combination of symbols on the reels they add to the number of symbols and multipliers in the meter. Any spin of the reels that does not result in a winning combination of symbols results in the loss of one of their meter’s symbols.
Level two of this feature is triggered after players have earned all nine symbols that they need in the meter. The second level is referred to as the Encounter. It requires players to navigate their way through a long, dark and scary corridor. They must shoot at any aliens encountered along the way and successfully kill them. Players that successfully move from level one to level two will bring ammunition with them to use in level two. The number of multipliers they received in level one can be used in level two to conquer it and move on to the final level. At the end of level two players will make their way to the alien queen’s hive. The final level involves killing the alien queen in order to successfully complete the mission. It is during this level of the feature that players are able to win grenades to use in their battle against the alien queen as well as five free re-spins of the reels. The more grenades a player has to use the more credits they can win in the game.
Though this bonus feature is longer and more elaborate than that of most other video slot machine games, it can be difficult for players to complete all three levels of it. The players that wager a large amount of money are more likely to win.
