Playtech launch Space Invaders slot machine

Playtech have now launched the Space Invaders slot machine. The leading casino software provider’s latest slot machine went live this month, after achieving quite a bit of hype of the last few weeks.

New Design

Playtech’s new slot is based on the legendary and classic video game of the same name. Released in 1978, the original game was a huge hit, and lead to many of the top video games we currently play today. In honour of that original game, this slot has been designed to appear as a standalone machine, as if you were actually standing in an arcade of the time. It’s a very nice touch, faithful to and worthy of the original game.

Space Invaders

Space Invaders is played over 5 reels and 10 paylines, and will only set players back a minimum of 0.10 per spin. The new game has also been designed to be fully compatible with players using their mobile phones and tablets to play, as well as those on the more traditional PC and laptop devices. Mobile gaming is still a relatively new concept for Playtech, so the fact that this release is open to all devices is certainly welcomed.

Faithful to Original

Don’t expect too much in the way of graphics with this slot. Once again, Playtech have tried hard to be as faithful as they can be with this slot, so the graphics are very much 1970s in style, theme and tone.

Features

The slot’s special features are centred around an Invaders Turn Wild bonus. In it, a laser cannon will shoot down all of the lower paying symbols in the slot, replacing them wilds. Any wilds which appear in winning combinations will then be met with 2x multipliers. A second UFO Wild feature can also offer up re-spins with as many as 9 wilds appearing on the reels.

Space Invaders should be available to play at all good Playtech powered casinos sites from this week onwards.
