Play Cosmic Quest: Mystery Planets for Free

Being whisked straight into space is an instant pleasure as you get to enjoy a stunning backdrop of stars and a beautiful purple light show, views you can usually only see from one of the world's more powerful telescopes. Of course space also plays host to 5 reels and 20 pay-lines which can also light-up your slot game sessions and your bank balance. While this game is available for real money across the globe, it's most popular at online casinos in France and also the USA.

There are a wide variety of planets to line-up, including a brown one that looks like a polished wooden door knob, a yellow one that looks like a Swiss cheese, and a red planet that looks like it's going to burst into flames at any moment – which it does when it forms part of a winning line. The top prizes for lining-up the planets range from 65x your coin-bet up to 500x your coin-bet. However the top icon combination is for lining-up 5 Wild Rockets which pays 5,000x your coin-bet.

There are lots of slots with expanding wilds and this one doesn't disappoint. The Wild Rockets can also turn into Expanding Wild Rockets when it's possible for them to substitute for other icons to make winning combinations, and the number of Wild Rockets on screen when this happens will also become your prize multiplier. You can also have loads of fun with the Jackpot Jetpacks, and the more Jetpacks you see the more fun you'll have. 3 Jetpacks will trigger 10 free spins, 4 Jetpacks will trigger 25 free spins, and 5 Jetpacks will trigger 50 free spins – all with prizes paid at double the pay-table prize. There are also the brilliantly named Scatterstronauts to find – and 3 or more of these will trigger a Mystery Bonus Round.

Every journey to the Cosmos you make can cost from as little as 0.01 coins up to 50 coins – the choice is yours. Indeed there are 800 ways to combine the lines, coins and coin-values. Simply start by choosing to play 1 to 20 lines on each spin, then choose to bet 1 to 10 coins, and finally give each coin a matching value of between 0.01 and 0.25.

There's much to love about Cosmic Quest 2: Mystery Planets, including great graphics and fascinating planets – all of which award decent prizes. The Wilds and Scatter symbols are fun too, as is the Jackpot Jetpack Bonus. With 800 spin-stake combinations the game can be enjoyed by all sorts of slot players, so all we've got left to say is - let this Cosmic Quest begin!
