Planet Zodiac Slots
When Mercury is in retrograde a lot of us go into this carnal like crazed frenzy, where one minute we’re perfectly fine and the next we’re baying for blood; we put it all down to our star signs and the zodiac and move on. All that bad luck gets associated with a month or week and swept away.
But what if we could use our signs to our advantage all the time, winning prizes and cash as we go? Now that would make those rubbish days a lot more manageable, and would probably have our family and friends jumping for joy rather than cowering away.
Consisting of 5 reels and 10 paylines, Planet Zodiac from SkillonNet is the astrology online slot that every starstruck gamer is going to savour from the beginning. Its gameplay won’t be what you’re expecting, nor will the final payouts, but it is a great little number that everyone should give a go at least once.
Place Your Bets
There are plenty of ways to set the amount of cash you want to be playing with once the title has loaded, and all of them can be found towards the bottom of the screen, sat just underneath the reels.
Players have a monetary value of 0.02 to begin with which can be increased until they reach the max amount of 1 credit, when this happens you’ll need to move over to setting up how many coins per the paylines you’d like to use. Between 1 and 5 can be placed on the paylines. If this confuses you, you’re essentially determining how much each of those coins is worth; if you have 5 coins on every one of the 10 lines, worth 1 credit, you’re playing with 50. If that sounds like a lot of work, just click that Max Bet button and let the software do it all for you.
You don’t have to play with the total number of paylines in this game, but it’s more fun if you do, for only having a couple really does restrict the amount of fun and money you can enjoy. Begging the question why play for real money when there’s a demo mode?
What most of you will absolutely love though is that autostart toggle, meaning you can release the reins and sit back with your feet up, appreciating the clickless beauty of what it means to be hands free. That’s right: the reels do it all for you, stopping when you win to tot up that total. If you do want to go manual, the spin button is going to become your new best friend, just don’t complain to us when your finger gets cramp.
We’re all finished here, so why not follow us into the actual gameplay section to find out even more.
Gameplay and Money
It’s all about the money a lot of the time, we just can’t get enough of having a bit more money than usual, and you can get up to 5,000 if you win this slot machine.
There are only eight icons throughout this entire game, which begs the question where are the remaining zodiacs? Putting aside the why for now, users will learn that there are different rewards for different amounts of matches. For example, if you get three Virgo symbols you’ll be given 25 credits, but if you get 5 then it’s a much more satisfying 1,000. This is the biggest paying tile on there, unless you want to count the expanding wild as it instead, which technically would be wrong.
Speaking of the devil, let’s take a closer look at what this wild actually does. As there is no scatter, the wild will remove all other symbols but itself when it makes an appearance. It will also trigger a free game if it lands on reels 4,3 and 2. When this happens they will naturally expand and dominate that one column while freezing in place, leaving the remaining free reels to spin. Should another wild pop up on any of the other reels when this is in action, yet another free spin will be gifted to you.
Zodiac Attack
Planet Zodiac looks like it should be amazing, the graphics certainly say as much, as do the various sounds incorporated into the game, but it just falls short and proves to be a rather flat experience.
Thankfully the jackpot is considerable enough to make it worth your time, but after one playthrough you’ll have seen all there is to see, as there are no bonus features of any kind.
