About the Aliens slot machine

In 1979, the now-classic film Alien debuted, introducing audiences to Ellen Ripley and the disturbingly terrifying Xenomorphs—or "Aliens" as they are often referred to in the movie titles. Since then, this great science fiction story has been revisited in several films of assorted quality. Even the slot form of Aliens has been relevant in the past, but it's with this new NetEnt slot that we really get to immerse ourselves in the nail-biting ambiance of the first two films.

Essentially, Aliens is a slot machine with five reels, three rows, and 15 fixed paylines. Nothing groundbreaking so far, but the game's real strength lies in its incredible bonus features, which we'll discuss shortly. You can choose from 10 different betting levels and a coin value that ranges from 10 cents to 10 dollars. The minimum wager per spin is a respectable $1.50, while the maximum wager is a staggering 1,500 bucks. As for the wins, you're looking at a top payout of 570,000 coins, which translates to a maximum win amount of an insane $5.7 million.

Symbols and functions

Essentially, this entire slot machine is encompassed in one massive bonus game where you're meant to locate and assault the Alien Queen. While the reels spin and bring you typical slot machine winnings, you play through a game within a game where you get closer to your goal with every step you take and earn more winnings the further into the mission you go. The slot is divided into three distinct levels:

Level 1: The Search Your task here is to watch for extraterrestrial life. Every time you succeed, a gauge is filled, and when it is full, you have achieved this step's objective and can progress. The marks in the gauge also act as multipliers, increasing the size of your wins the deeper into the task you go.

Level 2: The Encounter In this heart-pounding moment, you confront a host of extraterrestrial beings. You play the part of a space-faring soldier, and in this encounter, only one thing counts: survival. The screen now always displays three constant symbols that radically up your odds of hitting it big. Plus, you're still holding on to all the multipliers you racked up during Level 1, meaning that, ostensibly, your payoffs can really start to pop.

Level 3: The Hive If you survive the onslaught of aliens in Level 2, you will ultimately reach the Queen's nest. While you are busy spinning the reels, you are attacking the nest with bullets and grenades. If you do well in this stage, you cause a lot of destruction to "The Hive". Unfortunately for queen bees, the game is set up such that you have a lot of help in getting this win. On top of being an enjoyable level to play, it is also rewarding. You are boosted along with a random multiplier that helps you rack up more wins as well as more destruction in the hive. This is, of course, in addition to the wild symbol, which helps you throughout all the levels of the game by replacing other symbols and improving your overall chances of winning.

Summary

Alien's strength lies in the fantastic bonus game that is fully integrated into the regular gameplay. Most of the time, you spend at Level 1, but from time to time, you ascend further and get the chance for even mightier wins. Aliens is a terribly stylish and well-made slot machine with excellent profit opportunities.
