Themed slots continue to be majorly popular in the online casino world, and developers are always looking for new and innovative themes for their games. In recent history, we have seen an increase in popularity among science fiction-themed online slots, as games designers appeal to a niche audience in pop culture. Here are some of our favourite science fiction slots games.
Terminator 2
Terminator 2 is an online slot from Microgaming, which is based on the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film. While the game features impressive graphics and generous prizes, our favourite thing about this game is how it merges the gameplay with plot points from the film.
The T-1000 symbol can transform into other symbols in order to help make winning combinations, just like the actual character in the film can morph into others. It is a fantastic little touch, and we appreciate the attention to detail that Microgaming used when designing this game.
Battlestar Galactica
Battlestar Galactica is another online slots title from Microgaming. This title is based on the hugely popular science fiction series, and it features all of the most loved-characters such as Number Six, Kara and Gaius.
What we love most about this game is that it offers up a wide range of bonuses, that are divided up into different gaming modes:
Ion Storm: a random base game bonus that turns 5 reels wild.
Run Mode: any low-paying symbol (A, K, Q, J, 10) are transformed into one mystery symbol.
Fight Mode: random symbol are turned wild, and there is the potential to trigger free spins.
Star Trek
IGT has launched an online slots game that is based on the new Star Trek movie series. The most popular characters from the films are the subjects of different bonus rounds: Captain Kirk and Spock offer free spins, while Uhura and Scotty add scatter symbols and multipliers to the reel.
IGT has equipped the game with loads of clips from the film, so any Star Trek fan would certainly enjoy spinning the reels on this game.
War of the Worlds
War of the World is considered one of the most famous and influential works of science fiction. This online slots game from Ash Gaming is based on the Jeff Wayne musical version of the HG Wells classic radio play. Unfortunately, the soundtrack for this online slots game is not taken from the actual musical – but that’s beside the point.
There are plenty of great bonus features on this 100-payline slots game, such as expanding wild symbol and free spins.
