Space Tale

Space Tale is a 5 reel, 9 line progressive slot game from Boss Media. It comes in four coin sizes and has four different jackpots depending on the coin size you choose to play in. It also has a skill based bonus game which means you need to have some skill at video games to get the most out of it.

Like most progressives, maximum bet is required to win the jackpot. In this case max bet is 10 coins per line or 90 coins in total. This makes the max bet for each coin size 90c, $4.50, $22.50 and $90. The bigger the coin size the bigger the progressive jackpot gets.

To win the progressive you need to line up five of the Jackpot Gem symbols on any active line. If you play less than max bet this combination pays 10,000 coins which is the same as the top reel pay. The progressive is always bigger than 10,000 coins so it is well worth betting max.

Space Tale has an interesting bonus game where you need to accumulate 1000 points to trigger the bonus. You get points every time a space ship appears on the reels. Each spaceship awards the amount of your bet in points so at maximum bet you get 90 points per ship.

Each time you get 250 points you get to choose a path to victory. The first choice is your pilot for the bonus (Screenshot). The second choice is your ship configuration (Screenshot) and the third choice is your path (Screenshot). Once you get to 1000 points you enter the bonus round.

The bonus is like a horizontal shooter video game. You use the arrow keys to move your ship and the enter button to fire at the targets. The bonus has four stages and you have the chance to win up to 10000 coins (Screenshot).

This is definitely a skill based bonus so it's worth trying out the game for free and practicing before you risk real money. If you fail to reach the end you get a shot at a bonus screen (Screenshot) where you always win something.

Back to the reels and you also have a free spin bonus available. Get three, four or five planets and you win 8, 15 or 30 free games. There is no multiplier on the free games but you can win the bonus feature on the spins.

Space Tale is one of those games where you really have to practice before you play. This way you can see if the skill based bonus is something that you are good at. If you are not great at video games then we suggest giving this game a miss. The same jackpot is available on Mystic Fortune and it does not have the same sort of bonus stage.
