A new online slot game by Microgaming, themed after the television series Battlestar Galactica has now been made available to players in online casinos running their software and games.

A brief original hit in 1978, Battlestar Galactica has undergone remakes on several platforms, with a completely new series beginning in 2003. Ultimately the show was cancelled once more in 2009, and has never really had a successful fun on television or the cinema, despite being popular with many science fiction fans. Many spin-offs have been launched, but these too have failed. So are there terribly high hopes for the slot machine game then?

Considering it has been designed and developed by Microgaming, quite high actually. The online slot machine game comes with three special symbols. The spaceship is a scatter card that triggers free spins and big payouts if three or more are hit upon the game board. Unfortunately, however free spins cannot be retriggered during a free spins round.

The logo of Battlestar Galactica is rather predictably the wild card in this online slot machine game. As usual the wild card can replace any other symbol bar the special icons, and it is required to win the big jackpot. The wild card can also appear as a stacked wild on the first reel of Battlestar Galactica slots.

There are two ways to play this online slot game, one is Normal Mode which as you can imagine denotes standard online slot game play, the other is Run Mode which will see players offered the opportunity to pick up more ways to make cards wild, such as with the Faster Than Light symbol.

As far as pay lines go, because it is a big new Microgaming release, Battlestar Galactica slots features Microgaming’s unique two hundred and forty three ways to win pay line feature. The minimum wager is 0.01 per line, which the maximum bet is 300.00 per play. Battle star Galactica has been launched and is available right now in good Microgaming online casinos.
