Planet X slot machine has the popular five reels that have a possible line winning combination of twenty different paylines. The theme is based around science fiction with plenty of little green men and spaceships present, as well as secret government agents represented as symbols on the reels. The sound effects are quite basic, with sounds that are similar to a scene out of any sci-fi movie with laser beam noises. If the symbols are in a winning line, they come alive in small, brief animations, which is novel. This game is simply loaded with quirky little features.

The scatter symbol is a SECRET AGENT wearing dark sunglasses. If you manage to spin three or more of these in one go, he will pop up in front of the reels looking like he is about to pull a ‘memory-wiping’ device, or a gun out of his pocket and point it at you, but in fact, he pulls out a ‘top secret’ envelope to reveal how many free spins you have won. The wild cards are the PLANET X logo and they are substituted for any symbol apart from the jackpot symbol or scatter symbols.

The good thing about this slot is that you have the option to gamble your winnings. There is a small ‘gamble’ icon in the bottom right of the screen that you can press only after every win. Once you have decided to gamble, for example 2.00 coins, you can multiply your winnings by four times if you guess the correct suit of a facedown card that you will see in the middle. It’s a one in four chance, so if you’re feeling lucky, go for it.

On the other hand, you can play it safe, as you can take the option of having a 50% chance to double up by just choosing whether that same card is either red or black. You can cash in at any time you want. If you think it may help you, the previous cards can be seen in the top right hand corner in a ‘recent cards’ box.

You may have wondered what the SUPER WILD CARDS purpose is. They have the same function as the wild card in normal play, they just only appear when you are receiving the free spins. These symbols will have a number attached to them ranging from between 1-11. This represents how long they will remain in play to help generate winning combinations for you. This number will decrease after every spin so you can see how long it has left.

The other feature that can be triggered by the scatters is called CASH ZAP. If you activate this, aim the spacecraft to zap the farmer’s tools, hidden behind these items are different values to claim. Keep zapping away until the bonus round comes to an end so that you can have the winnings added to your balance.

Before long you should hit three or more FEATURE ICONS – these are small, ‘old fashioned’ looking robots. They will trigger one of two feature rounds; the first is ALIEN SQUARES. Here you can pick from a selection of squares. You must choose three blue circles in a row to win a cash prize, just don’t hit the red ones. The second game is METAL MADNESS. You get to watch an alien crush everything in its path, revealing cash prizes in its trail of destruction for you to collect. WAGERWORKS put a great deal of creativity and imagination in to this with slot features that can keep you playing for literally hours.
