The UFO is the game’s scatter and pays out for three or more anywhere on the reels and triggers the free spins feature. The alien pharaoh is the game’s wild, which expands and subs for all the standard paying symbols. With a risk/gamble game also on offer, this slot is full of action.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

This alien themed slot is given a unique twist by combining the alien/space theme with another popular slot theme - these aliens have travelled back to Ancient Egypt! This slot features all the popular aspects you would expect to see from both themes, so you have the Eye of Horus, a crook and flail, an Egyptian cat and Anubis. There are also a gigantic golden UFO and an alien pharaoh on the reels. The game features rich colours, vibrant visuals, an Egyptian sounding soundtrack and some classic slot sound effects to add atmosphere. 

If you enjoy space/alien-themed slots, you might like to try the Visitors slot in demo mode. Visitors, from ELK Studios, centres around the alien abduction of cows! If this theme isn’t enough to reel you in, it also features free spins, expanding symbols and multipliers.

If three UFO scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels, this will activate the game’s bonus feature. Players are awarded 12 free spins and every alien symbol that lands provides another free spin; what’s more, there is a symbol upgrade feature to increase wins. When an alien lands, it replaces all symbols with an upgraded symbol with a higher payout until the reels are full of the highest paying symbols.

If they gamble, they are presented with an alien playing card that flashes between red and black. If you choose the colour correctly, you double your winnings and have the chance to gamble again; if you choose incorrectly, you lose your winnings and return to the base game.
