How To Play Space Zoo Mobile Slot
Head to the depths of space with an ark of exotic animals in this Backseat Gaming Space Zoo slot, set upon 5×4 reels and 14 paylines. A wheel of fortune symbol is all you need to bring you good fortune as it gives you 1 to 3 special modifiers on the reels – a modifier that triggers more often in the free spin bonus.
We love a fun casino slot theme, and with spinning planets in the background and some futuristic reels, astronauts Zebra, Elephant, Lion, and Giraffe are high-paying symbols, followed by Ace to 10. It’s quirky, it makes us smile, and it intrigues us.
The Rocket Wild pays the highest if you find 5 symbols in a row. You’ll need to find the Wheel of Fortune symbol to do that. With the wheel of fortune now wild, this will trigger 1 to 3 special features on the next spin. When it triggers, we get a little flutter in our stomach.
3 to 5 scatter symbols trigger 10 to 14 free spins, with the wheel of fortune appearing more often and some features staying sticky. With a global multiplier and cash prizes that range from 2x to 1,000x your bet, you can see how you can quickly get to the top win.
And yet, infinity and beyond always seem to be a little far away.
The Wheel of Fortune Features in the Space Zoo Slot
This is the main feature of the Space Zoo video slot. It shows up, and you get anything from 1 to 3 of the following features for one spin:
- Extra Wilds: Extra 2-10 wild symbols on the grid
- Upgrade Symbols: Upgrades all low-paying symbols to one high-paying symbol
- Global Multiplier: Increases with a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier (sticky in the bonus)
- Cash Prizes: Get instant cash prizes of 2x to 1000x when you win over the symbols (sticky in the bonus)
- Extra Free Spins: Get an added 2-5 free spins (only during bonus)
The multipliers are key here. If you get more than one multiplier, they are added together. In the base game, that probably won’t happen in one spin. However, in the free spins, the multipliers are sticky and the Wheel of Fortune symbol shows up more often.
The Richer Reels Make it all Worthwhile
You’ll need patience to hit the Space Zoo free spins with richer reels. This is a high-variance slot machine, and it won’t give up its rocket fuel without fighting a space monster or two.
However, there is a hack. For double your bet, you triple your chances at catching the free spins – a must in our books. This makes the minimum 0.20 a spin rather than 0.10 a spin, but it’s well worth spending a little extra (if you can afford it) to hit the free spins, even though the paytable doesn’t pay any extra.
The machine’s RTP even increases slightly to 96.27% instead of the normal 96.22%. It’s only a tiny amount, but it’s always nice to be rewarded for spending more.
For 50x your bet, you can buy spins, during which you will hit the Wheel of Fortune. However, this is a dangerous and expensive slot game. It is left for big-hunt slot gamblers with more money than sense. Perhaps those who are fans of No Limit City slots?
Space Zoo is an imperfect real money casino game with an almost perfect feature. One to play when you are feeling adventurous.
