Slot Review: Red Planet

As of two years ago, we have one less planet in our solar system. With the downgrade of Pluto from official planetary status to the classification of a dwarf planet, all the acronyms we learned as schoolchildren are now virtually useless! Luckily for the creators of the Red Planet online slot game, Mars’s ranking seems pretty secure! As one of the closest planet to the Earth, Mars has always held a particular mystique to the citizens of this planet. We make movies and write books about what life forms could potential inhabit such a cold and noxious environment. Much of science fiction literature takes place on Mars. Fans of this kind of entertainment will get a kick out of this well-designed and lucrative title.

Red Planet is a three-reel, five-payline slot machine game. Coin values range from twenty-five cents to five dollars, with top coin size established at five. That means that the highest wager is twenty-five dollars, a modest risk. The jackpot is set at a fixed amount of eight thousand coins, or forty thousand dollars. Not an otherworldly sum of money, but we’d take it in a heartbeat!

Everything in this slot game makes you feel like you are aboard a spaceship that has landed on the titular Red Planet. Your screen looks like a porthole window overlooking Mars, with the reels superimposed over the glass. Images on the reels include spaceships and planets. You will experience lifelike sound effects, like gasses rising off the surface of the planet. All in all, we think that you will enjoy this superior title from software firm Cryptologic, creator of some of our favorite gambling diversions.
