The Most Exciting Features in Science Fiction-Themed Slots

There are lots of variations and themes prevalent in online slots. Some of the most popular have been taken from existing movie and popular culture properties. When combined with exciting features, they can be extremely playable. Below, we discuss some of the most exciting features in Science fiction-themed slots.  

Have you exhausted the games available about your favourite movie franchises? Slot games offer an alternative, providing a chance-based element and often a more casual gaming experience. Themed with popular culture franchises, they can be very special to play when new features are introduced. Below, we discuss the most exciting elements that have ever been in science fiction-themed slots. 

Staggered Levels 

The evolution of slot games has seen them merge with many different concepts, often taken from arcade-style titles. They are then adapted for casino-style play. One of these is the concept of levelling up, the idea that when you achieve a certain goal, you are then taken to a higher level with increased difficulty. In slot games, you don't have the personal satisfaction of completing a narrative game to look forward to. However, you do have the chance to win money. Slot games that let you level up usually save the highest rewards for these top tiers. 
 
One excellent example of levelling up in sci-fi slots can be found in the Aliens-themed slot by NetEnt. It is a fantastic title, that uses the HR Giger-inspired designs of the movie and its artwork to great effect. Unlike most slots which are bright and brash, it retains the dark, brooding atmosphere of the original movies. On the surface, it is a five-reel slot with fifteen different pay lines.  

The levelling system is what makes the game exciting. Level one is the search where you look for alien activity. Each time you get a wild it will fill the meter and increase the multiplier. If it reaches maximum capacity, you advance to level two. This is a respin round of sorts, where you have to fight the aliens without running out of ammo. Three new symbols appear on a bet line activated with each spin, one of which is the ammo clip that gives more respins. When you run out, the game starts again. However, advance from this round and you reach round three and the alien queen which is where the big money prizes are.  

Free Spin Rounds 

Free spin rounds are a staple of classic slots. When you enter a free spin round, you are always at an advantage as you are not using your bankroll to bet. They are also the parts where the biggest multipliers will appear. 

Terminator 2 is one of the best science fiction-themed slots and has a fantastic free spin round. You access it by landing three or more orbs on the reels. This will give you 10 free spins. In this section, the game extends and you suddenly have around 1024 different ways to win.  

It also has a T-800 Vision round. Land one orb during this and you will go into the free spins section. If you land any symbols that contain characters such as a Terminator or Sarah Connor, you win a bonus amount corresponding to the value of the symbol. This round is activated after any spin that is not a winning one. That makes two great ways to quickly ramp up the winnings on your slot game.  

New sci-fi-themed slots are appearing regularly. As new movies arrive, you will see that many of them use this as a way to increase revenue. Other great licences with slots include Godzilla and Battlestar Galactica. Try them using free offers and bonuses to preserve your bankroll and then you can move on to making wagers.
