One of the year’s most eagerly anticipated slot games has nearly arrived. Space Enigma is the product of a partnership between online gaming powerhouse Microgaming, and All41Studios. They’ve chosen to give a fresh take on an existing game, NetEnt’s Starburst, with modern and up-to-date graphics and sound and a twist on the popular classic’s gameplay.
Space Enigma has 5 reels and 10 active paylines that win in both directions, giving players even more opportunities to land a combination. This slot also pays up to 1000x your stake, meaning you can achieve a massive payout of $100,000 per spin. This game looks set to turn heads at online casinos around the world, and beyond.
The minimum stake is just 10 cents, but you can up that all the way to $100 if you want to. This works across its 10 fixed paylines, which pay both ways.
A combination of the right five icons will give you fifty times your stake, each way, so 100x the stake per line. With ten lines in the game, filling the reels with winning icons and wild symbols can payout up to $100,000. With re-spins enabled, you could manage to get even more than that at Space Enigma.
There is always some risk involved, and it can take a bit of effort to get higher value jackpots out of this game. The hard work does pay off though, as payouts always tend to be bigger on this slot to reflect the risk.
There are a few features that will help you excel in this game. Being able to form combinations both ways on the payline may result in lower value wins, but these combinations will pay twice for the same line for a five-symbol win.
The feature that deserves the most attention is when the expanding Star lands on the middle reels as a multi-faceted, star-shaped gemstone. It can only land on the middle three reels, so you can’t use it to create wins, but it is great in support of regular combinations.
When it lands on a reel, the Star expands to take over three positions and then locks into place. The game will then give you a re-spin, and if additional Stars appear, they will also lock in place prompting more re-spins. The most re-spins you can get is three when you have all three middle reels on the Star symbol. This is your opportunity to strike it lucky, as you have ten winning combinations on the reels, paying both ways.
The theme isn’t anything new or particularly special, but its execution makes this game stand out from the rest. Space Enigma is a good-looking slot machine, with plenty of action and sleek and slender graphics that keep you engaged. There are plenty of unique and quirky symbols on the reels too.
All in all, this is another quality game from Microgaming and All41Studios. The graphics and sound are the highest quality, and the intricate gameplay can keep you entertained spin after spin.
