Space XY - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Take a trip into the Final Frontier with Space XY, an innovative new title from BGaming. Select the right moment to leap from the rocket to win the cashout multiplier displayed on screen. Leave it too long, however, and your stake is lost.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

This title looks fantastic with a gameplay display which looks like a flight control console, complete with radar lines.

Music and sound effects are immersive, with gentle synths juxtaposed with rocket engines and explosions as they occur.

Space XY RTP and Variance

The RTP of Space XY is set at 97%. This is higher than the average for most online slot titles, but such comparisons are somewhat moot when it comes to a game such as Space XY, given the unusual nature of the gameplay. The medium volatility of this title is likely to produced well-balanced gameplay, but as the amount you win relies on your nerve as much as the random number generation within the title, this is hard to quantify.

How to Play Space XY

1. The traditional advice when opening a new online slot title is to take a look at the rules and paytable. In the case of Space XY, this is vital. This game is not played on traditional reels: in fact, there are no reels included whatsoever. Study the rules, which are found by clicking the three-line menu in the top left of the reels, and then click the open book icon which appears.
2. Set your X and Y bet by clicking on the bet amounts which appear below the flight path display. These will either set your bet for the round about to begin or the next round if a flight is already in progress.
3. Once the game is in play, cash out by clicking the X and Y Cashout buttons. The amount you will cash out will be displayed on the button, rising by the factor displayed in the centre of the screen. In order to successfully cash out, you must press the cashout button before the rocket explodes.
4. Next to the bet icon is an auto cashout icon, which allows you to set an amount at which you will cash out automatically. These amounts run up to 10x the initial bet, starting at 1.05x.
5. You do not have to bet on both the X and Y axis on any round. You could in fact bet on one or the other. You could choose to sit out a few rounds to see how the game plays prior to staking anything on a flight.
6. You can set up to 1,000 flights to run automatically or even select infinite spins. During autospins, you must click the cashout buttons in order to win, as you would in regular play. This is vital to your autospins being successful. Otherwise, you must set the cashout amounts to appropriate levels.
7. Please play Space XY responsibly by ensuring that you are always setting an affordable and sensible budget for any play session. Remember that chasing losses is never a good idea and that whilst this title is different from most other games, it is still an online slot which is still geared up to make money for the house. When the fun stops, stop.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Bets start at a minimum of 1.00 per axis, so you can begin with just spending either 1.00 or 2.00 on a round.

The maximum bet per spin is 100.00, meaning that you can spend up to 200.00 per spin.

The maximum win is difficult to judge, as the paytable does not provide any amounts. Anecdotally, during gameplay, wins of 70x the bet have been observed, but such events are not common and nor do they represent in any way the maximum win amount per round.

Space XY Bonus Features

No bonus features have been observed during gameplay, and nor are any mentioned on the paytable. As the game is hugely different from most online slots, the lack of bonus features is not necessarily something that is surprising, as most of the common features such as free spins, nudges or cascading symbols are necessarily appropriate when playing a title such as this.

Space XY Review: Our Verdict

This is a highly innovative online slot with great playability and a design unlike any other online slot experienced recently. The title is reminiscent of the old-fashioned games which need you to balance your nerve with a realistic view of what you can achieve. 

A potential issue with this title is the fact that players may feel like they need to keep playing in order to chase down the higher-level wins, even if that means overspending and playing on past the point of having sustained losses. Remember that the house always wins, especially when it comes to online slots.
