Reach For The Stars With Star Trek

Casino news has it that Wagerworks have recently released a new slot game, which based on the eleventh Star Trek movie released in 2009 by Paramount Pictures.

It is set on the bridge of the Enterprise, with symbols appearing in the view screen displaying outer space complete with many distant galaxies. Symbols include Captain Kirk, offering the highest jackpot of 1000 coins; Scotty, Uhura and of course Spock. High card symbols Ten to Ace appear set against the silhouetted Enterprise. The animations sadly are nothing special and are accompanied by flashing lights, as well as Star Trek music.

The Star Trek logo represents the wild symbol. Appearing on reels 2 – 5 only, it can substitute all symbols, except for the various bonus symbols, which drive the game. The 5 bonus symbols consist of a common symbol and symbols for the 4 crew members. A combination of 2 common symbols and any one crew member will trigger a bonus round, as well as a scatter payout trebling the initial bet.

Kirk’s philosophy of not believing in any no win scenario is played out in his free spins bonus round. Starting at 3 to 6 spins, players get to repeat spins until a win (this one gives a triple payout) is registered. This round also has a Combined Kirk and Spock symbol able to replace either one of the two characters’ symbols.

Mr Spock’s bonus round features him as a wild symbol and Captain Kirk will double payouts. There is also an added touch of romance with a symbol featuring Spock and Uhura together.

Uhura will trigger a bonus round featuring super Uhura scatters. It is possible to get 8 of these super symbols appearing on the reels, offering a 250 coin scatter payout.

Scotty offers a round of 10 free spins, with the multipliers for the fist five spins varying between double and five times the bet. The remaining spins each have a multiplier of x2.

In all bonus rounds, free spins can be re triggered if the necessary combinations and/ or symbols appear.

As a whole, this 30-payline, eagerly awaited game – shortly to be included in Virgin Online casinos – promises lots of exciting action and many winning opportunities, although the animations could do with a little more flair and there is no progressive jackpot.

However, in spite of all this the game is definitely set to be a hit – especially with the many trekkies among the players around the globe.
