Mars Odyssey is an outer space themed 5 reel video slot from celebrated designers SkillOnNet. They have worked in 20 paylines complete with a wild symbol, free spins and a rather generous 20,000 coin jackpot. When playing the maximum coin value this equates to an out of this world $20,000!

Mars Odyssey Slot Theme

Mars Odyssey begins with a clip showing a robot which sounds suspiciously like R2D2 from Star Wars. After the initial loading sequence has finished the main slot appears and you are presented with a five reel design which is filled with unusual looking space creatures.

The reels include different aliens which each offer their own animations when a winning combination is formed. These include the main robot alien which wonders in front of the screen if you leave them inactive for too long. The sounds are well themed and suit the design well; this doesn’t stop them grating after a short while. Thankfully they can be muted using the panel at the bottom of the screen.

The default coin value is 0.25 with only one line being played when the slot loads. This can be changed to a number of different denominations beginning with 0.05 and topping out at $/£/€1. Paylines can be set to any number between 1 and 20, depending on how you configure these two options you can bet anywhere between 0.05 to $20 per spin. This makes it ideal for both low stakes gamblers and high rollers alike; in fact, there are plenty of options for mid level players too.

Mars Odyssey Slot Features

The Alien Symbol plays as a wild symbol and can replace any other symbol on an active payline to creating more winning opportunities. It doesn’t offer a multiplier but we found it does contribute to wins more frequently than on similar slots.

Free spins are won once 1000 bonus points have been collected during normal gameplay. You’ll earn 50 bonus points for every bonus icon which appears on the reels which means 20 are needed to start the feature. Although this takes a while any wins are doubled during free spins.

If friendly aliens and slots are your two favorite things in life then you’ll love the Mars Odyssey slot. Everyone else will love it too, especially if they hit the 10 times multiplier on a big win :-).
