The game has five reels and 720 winning ways and has a 94.70% RTP.

ABOUT THE ASTEROIDS SLOT 

Get ready for a cosmic encounter in this space-themed online slot by Pariplay. Asteroid slot is a remake of an old-school icon and as expected, while the design is contemporary, the slot still features elements from the older arcade version of this slot. 

In fact, much of the background graphics has remained the same with space objects floating and bumping around. But the reels have gotten a much more modern look, and are sure to appeal to a younger generation of players despite the general retro look. Retaining some of the elements from the past also gives the game a nostalgic feel for those expecting to find the original arcade atmosphere in this remake. 

GAMEPLAY 

WAGER

Asteroid is a five-reel slot with a variable number of rows. Reel one has three rows, two has four rows and reel three has five rows. The number of rows starts descending again with reels four and five featuring four and three rows respectively. 

The slot has 720 winning ways, with three or more adjacent identical symbols needed to form a winning combination. Asteroid slot pays both ways. This means winning combinations can be formed from left to right and from right to left. The minimum wager amount in this slot is $0.50 per spin. 

SYMBOLS

As expected of a remake, Asteroids has carried over many of its symbols from the original game. They include space-themed symbols, space shuttles, flying saucers, satellites, laser guns and of course, asteroids. The space rock is the most valuable symbol as it pays 600x your wager for a full combination of five symbols. Other space-themed icons pay between 100x to 300x for a five-symbol combination. 

In addition to these high-value symbols, the slot also includes the regular card symbols A, J, Q, J and 10. These symbols pay between 50x and 75x if you get a five-of-a-kind combination. Atari Asteroids slot has a free spins Scatter symbol as well as a Wild symbol. 

SPECIAL FEATURES 

Atari Asteroids slot doesn’t offer a lot of special features. The main highlight of this game is the Wild symbol which replaces any of the game icons to form winning combinations. Wilds can appear anywhere on the reels. Each time the Wild is involved in a winning combination, it transforms into sticky Wilds and awards you a respin. This means the Wild will stick to its current position while the rest of the reels respin, allowing you to land another winning combination again. 

Wilds can also expand to fill multiple positions on the reels. This happens when a Wild symbol lands on the last row of reels two and four. In this case, the Expanding Wilds will fill up multiple positions on the reels and multiply your chances of forming winning combinations.
