Have you ever considered going to another planet to have fun? Sounds like a sci-fi story, doesn’t it? Partying with hot alien waitresses, having a strange drink at an alien bar mixed by a skillful alien bartender with six arms, all this and more doesn’t have to be beyond your imagination anymore. With Microgaming’s new release, titled “Planet Exotica” you can actually see what it all looks like, and have all the alien-style fun you want, whenever you’d like.

This slot is something different than you’d expect from an alien slot – it offers a whole different turn on the classic outer space theme, introducing new, hot characters all wrapped in the party theme: hot pin-up alien girls, dumb-looking bouncer, adorable green barman, hi-tech space ships, juicy lips, and many others. But this is not all “Planet Exotica” has to offer – there are also special symbols and features, which may significantly improve your winning odds. Those include wild symbol, scatter, free spins, multipliers, as well as a bonus round, which sometimes gives out very generous prizes.

If you want to win one of the fantastic and interesting features of this 5-reel, 15-payline video slot, you should first make a decision on the amount you want to place per spin. And what’s so great about this game is the number of options it offers in terms of money. Namely, the coin denominations on offer range from $0.01 to $0.10, and it’s possible to select the number of lines and the number of coins you’ll place per line. What this means is that you have a range of choices which will certainly satisfy all your potential requirements and wishes.

Wild Symbol:

Planet Exotica symbol represents the wild of this slot, which substitutes for all other regular symbols. This means that you’ll have more chance to win a prize, as this symbol appears quite often. However, even though it may be much to ask, it would be better if the wild symbol had a multiplier attached to it. On the other hand, there are many other features which will certainly compensate for the lack of multiplier here.

Scatter Symbol:

Three or more scattered smooches will bring you a nice bonus round, in which you select one of the smooches to reveal the prize, with up to 10 free spins and up to 2x multiplier. Also, you can get extra multipliers and free spins during the round, whenever a pink lipstick appears on reel 5 or a green lipstick appears on reel 4, respectively. The maximum multiplier that is to be obtained during free spins 10x, but there are no limitations set to the number of free spins.

Bonus Round:

In addition to all this, it’s also possible to win a Sneak a Peek bonus, which is triggered when Sneak a Peek symbol appears on a position on reel 1, and one of the girls appears on the same position on reel 5. When this happens, you will see a wall with 15 tiles circling the alien girl on which the Sneak a Peek bonus landed. You will then be prompted to reveal 12 out of 15 tiles, in an attempt to hit three matching symbols. But if you reveal three bouncers, the round will be over.

The general impression is that “Planet Exotica” is a highly recommendable slot, not only due to its features, but also thanks to the superb graphics and accompanying sounds, which complete the futuristic picture of a fun alien planet.
