They came to give us money...
In order to get your hands on some cash, you will have to find three matching symbols upon the slot machine's single horizontal payline.

These symbols are truly out of this world, depicting black holes, ringed planets, laser ray guns, UFOs, aliens and another “Alien Cash Attack” logo.
Out of this world prizes
During the base game, players can place a total bet on the single payline worth anywhere between 0.10 credits and 10.00 credits. The chosen total bet is then carried into the Win Spins game to be multiplied whenever three of the same alien symbols appear on any of the 5 paylines. The black hole icon will award a 1x total bet multiplier, the ringed planet symbol will pay 2x wins, the laser ray gun will fetch 5x prizes, the UFO will go for 10x and the alien character will award 25x. The biggest win of all, however, is the game's logo symbol which pays total bet multipliers of 500x when three align in the Win Spins game.
