The aliens are arriving with Monster Meteors from Microgaming. It is a 25 line slot machine with an alien invasion theme. The game has a free spin bonus as well as a pick a box stage and the option to gamble your wins. Maximum bet is 250 coins per spin and coin sizes start at 1c.
The soldier symbol is wild and substitutes for everything but the scattered meteor symbols. Getting five soldiers on an active line awards the top pay of 5000 credits or 50000 credits if you are hitting the max bet button. The scattered meteor symbols also offer a 50,000 pay if you get all five on the screen.
Monster Meteors features a lot of good mid level pays which is always good to see. Second highest line pay is 3000 coins for five green monsters. This is followed by 2000 coins for five blue monsters or four wild soldiers. Next up is a 500 coin pay for five of the pink aliens.
The scattered meteor symbols are the key to the multi stage bonus. Get three or more and you win 5 free games and a shot at winning more. You move on to the second screen stage where you have six monsters and the soldier. You get to pick three aliens to shoot with your ray gun (View Screenshot).
Each shot awards one of three things. Extra free spins, extra free spin multipliers or instant coin wins. Once you have made your three picks your wins are tallied and you move back to the reels for your free games. The feature cannot be re-triggered which is a bit of a negative.
Monster Meteors also has a gamble feature. If you have ever played the Australian style slots from Aristocrat then you will be familiar with this style of double up . You pick red or black to double your win or the suits (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts or Spades) to quadruple your win.
In the end Monster Meteors is a good quality game from Microgaming. It has lots of good mid level pays which is always a good thing although the fact that the free spins cannot be re-triggered is a drawback. |
