Space Jail Slots
Just because you're in space doesn't mean you can't go to jail. Just ask the gang of misfits have been assembled for in incarceration in Space Jail, a Space Invaders style slot from ThunderSpin. Prepare to laugh hard at the antics of the motley crew of characters who have been assembled for your entertainment in this lively and colourful 10 payline slot. ThunderSpin are one of the lesser known developers in the industry, but they have real talent as their Space Jail video slot clearly demonstrates.
Everything about this slot, from the loading screen to the soundtrack and from the animations to the symbols, is utter class. This is the sort of game that you could happily play for ages, thanks in no small part to the fact that it feels in many respects like an old school video game. It's true that all you're doing here is spinning reels, but it sure feels like more than that. It feels like you're actually immersed in a proper game and are levelling up and fighting final bosses in between shooting at space stations.
Even Space Got a Jail
Among the many cool things about this slot is an animated backdrop which depicts a space station, Saturn, the moon, the sun spitting balls of plasma and various spacecraft which will drift across the screen if you leave this online casino game idle for a while. Later, once the game has commenced, the same spacecraft will drift languidly behind the semi-opaque game board which adds to the sense of epicness. The game physics are very smooth in Space Jail by ThunderSpin, ensuring that even when there is a lot of action happening on the screen, everything stays cool, calm and collected.
Space Jail is a fully mobile-compatible game and it looks a treat whether you're playing on a smartphone such as iPhone or Android or an desktop. The board measures 5 by 3 and the symbols which appear on the board include some extremely interesting looking aliens. They’re clearly naughty aliens, hence the need for them to be in space jail. There is a one-eyed squishy thing that looks like a sort of octopus, there are various cyborgs and androids, there is a blue skull with its brain exposed and there is another alien with brilliant white teeth and two eyes on antennas.
Intergalactic Planetary
The max bet that you can set in this game stands at 100 coins. The minimum you can set is just one coin. Although high limits players might find that Space Jail doesn't have quite enough maneuverability for their tastes, most gamblers should be content with the bet levels that are available here. One of the few criticisms that can be levelled against games by this developer is they they all play in a very similar manner. Once you've played one online casino game from ThunderSpin, you’ve played them mall. Thank goodness the themes are so diverse.
The various alien symbols in Space Jail include slime, a cop, soldier, a sheriff and a predator, plus a space laser laser which operates as the wild symbol. In addition it will substitute for other symbols to help you to notch up additional winds in the base game. Wild also doubles as scatter because if you landed three of these symbols you will be awarded 10 free spins. 4 letters are worth 15 free spins and 5 are worth 20 free spins. There is also a large space rocket which serves as a stacked scatter symbol and when the bonus game is activated it will trigger the Labyrinth Bonus game.
Magic Jam’s a Similar Slot
Gamblers who have enjoyed playing Space Jail should check out some other games released by this developer. Magic Jam is probably the closest thing they've done to Space Jail. It is a medium variance game which awards 15 free spins accompanied by a multiplier of as much as 10 times. There's also Zombie Slot by ThunderSpin which again has the same features. The only real drawback to games that this developer has brought to market is that they tend to play very similarly and there is no stated RTP. It would be interesting to know what the average return to player is with these slots.
Space Jail: Final Verdict
There is very little that is wrong with Space Jail and a whole lot to love about this gorgeous little slot. The graphics are great, the same could be said about the soundtrack and animations are also extremely smooth and impressive. Even if you chose only to play for fun you'll be guaranteed to have a good time with this slot. Play for real money however and with a little luck you might just notch up some big wins that could turn this into one of your favourite slots of all time.
