Net Entertainment launches Cosmic Eclipse and it looks very familiar

NetEnt’s first slot of 2018 is set to be a strange one. Ask most online casino players to think of a slot with a space-theme and gemstones as symbols, with a simple payline and gaming structure and cheap bets, and the first slot which springs to mind will likely be Starburst. This slot is one of the most well-known in the online casino world and frequently appears as part of free spin bonus packages at casino sites. It is rather strange, then, that Net Entertainment would create a direct rival to their own successful slot in Cosmic Eclipse, which launched this week.

Similarity

The similarity between Cosmic Eclipse and Starburst is actually uncanny. The game features 5 reels and 10 paylines just likes it rival, it offers cheap as chips bets costing between 0.10 and 100.00 a game (just like its rival) and contains just a handful of bonuses likes its more famous counterpart. There is – underneath the paint job – a touch of originality about the newly released game though.

For starters, there is a non-progressive jackpot worth 60,000 coins up for grabs, which is vastly more than you could hope to win in Starburst. There is also a wild symbol and a black hole icon. Should the latter appear on the fifth reels, then one of the symbols on the reels will be chosen at random, added to the right-hand side of the screen (removed from the reels) and trigger a re-spin. If you win again, any symbols appearing in the win will also be removed from the reels and so on and so forth. This gives players ample chances to win with the re-spin feature.

Cosmic Eclipse is certainly going to give Starburst a run for its money. Find out whether it has what it takes to knock its older sister out of the gamers’ hearts by playing at it at NetEnt powered casinos today.
