Play Space Robbers for Free

This famous line from the classic Pink Floyd track promptly welcomes you to Space Robbers, one of the most creatively accomplished slots we have come across in last two years.

The space based theme of galaxy-hopping, star-smashing and planet-plundering space robbers and their shenanigans is original enough, alright! But that, we are quite pleased to say, is not half of it. Near 3-D animations and sound effects that go with the whole drama quite brilliantly mean that the complete package of Space Robbers is destined for cent-percent greatness.

But that, still, isn’t all. There are umpteen twists in the gameplay here, and most of them are quite imaginative, to say the least…

Everything about Space Robbers is fit enough to be staged on an astronomical scale that defies our basic yardsticks of common sense. What seems to be quite a common affair when you look at its 5 reels and 40 paylines soon turns into a whirlwind of newness that is sure to keep even the veterans of many slot seasons guessing!

Much like many other GameOS slots, Space Robbers allows you to wager no more than or no fewer than one coin per payline per spin. The coin denomination can be set, as you please, between 20 cents and $2. With the jackpot of the base game being fixed at 1,500 coins, the biggest celestial bounty that you can bag on your way back home(planet) is $3,000.

That, we fully well know, isn’t much to attract players who care about nought but winning. However, just to explore the kind of thought that has gone into the making of this fabulous slot, we would definitely recommend this one to our readers.

As the cliché in the world of online casinos goes, you need your stars to align to turn wagers into jackpots. In case of Space Robbers, this couldn’t be truer. You literally needs stars and planets of various colours and sizes to align in said orders so that you can start feeling lucky.

The minimum number of symbols you need stacked for payouts of any kind is 3, slightly dampening the prospects of winning consistently. To accompany these heavenly bodies, we have our gang of naughty space robbers and a few specimens of their bizarre spaceships.

While most symbols pay by the line, some high-paying symbols (a blue planet with weird halo, for example) do pay by the overall wager. The base game jackpot (five blue chicks on absolutely any active payline) is 5,000 coins. In other words, if you are riding a huge lucky wave and everything you touch starts turning into gold, you stand to win a fat wad of cash worth $25,000 for a modest wager of $150!

It’s all about maximizing your loot and gaining the confidence of your fellow space robbers here. To do that, however, base game wouldn’t suffice. You need bigger grounds to take on and bigger challenges to surmount.

These are provided by special symbols of the slot. A wild symbol of a glowing crystal acts as a regular wild, enabling you to freely interchange or substitute regular symbols so that you can ride past frustratingly stuck-up combos. Unfortunately, the wild carries no multipliers, greatly diminishing its value to players.

But greatly amplifying its value here is the bonus symbol – a strange sort of a canister that you need to appear on at least 3 reels. Once that happens, you are in for a treat!

Want to know how? Well, read on!

The real creativity of Space Robbers comes to the fore when you finally manage to crack the code to bonus rounds.

This bonus round is generated straightforwardly when you have three or more ‘canister’ symbols on the screen.

In this round, you will be presented with three symbols, from which you have to pick one at random.

Space travel is tricky – but we know this is as easy as it gets!

There are three more bonus rounds that are generated when the ‘Bonus Raid Fuel’ meter (right at the bottom of the screen) hits 100% mark.

‘Solar Race’, ‘Asteroid Mining’ and ‘Space Robber’ are the bonus rounds that can be played – all you have to do is pick one symbol from the given set.

Space Robbers is incredibly marvellous to look at. The feel of the slot is much like a video game, and that is a sure fire plus in our books when compared to generic space slots such as Astrodice. The gameplay is quite good, too – but somehow, it just falls short of being monetarily attractive. Perfect for beginners – but not-so-much for high rollers!
