When wondering which online slot game to play, one cannot ignore the games created by CryptoLogic. Red Planet is one such game. It is a traditional 3 reel 5 play-line game which is similar to the slot machines found in land based casinos. The theme of this game is as the names suggest Mars, with various extraterrestrial phenomena making up the symbols. The game is designed to provide the player with a realistic casino-like atmosphere. However, this is not a progressive game with the maximum jackpot amount fixed at $40,000.

Red Planet has many symbols ranging from aliens to UFOs, rockets to planets, taking the player through an intergalactic adventure. The regular symbols are Saturn, the alien, the mining cart, Earth, the space shuttle and the space craft. This is a coin based game with coin denominations starting as low as $0.01 and reaching values as high as $5. With every coin that is played, an added play-line is activated, and when the play stops, the combination of symbols along each enabled play-line is checked by the computer.

The symbol to look out for is Saturn, which when displayed three times across one play-line rewards the player 5000 coins. If this combination appears in the fifth play-line, the player wins 8000 coins which is the maximum payout. The third highest payout is 200 coins, which is won when three alien symbols appear in one play-line.

Despite having no added features like wild symbols, scatter symbols or multipliers, Red Planet has proved to be a delight to players around the world. It takes the player out of his world into one that seems right out of a sci-fi movie. The animation and sound effects are par excellence, and begin even before the first spin is played. The extraterrestrial sound theme is a perfect accompaniment to the excellent reel animation, and provides for an interesting and exciting game. It is no wonder that Red Planet holds a special place in every slot player’s heart.

The only additional feature of this game is the “Auto-play” option. This option allows the player to select the coin denomination and the number of play-lines, the computer then takes over the play for the specified number of spins, while the player sits back and watches.
