Slot Review: The Great Galaxy Grab

Every so often, we play an exceptional online slot that is so mind-blowing that we almost don’t have the words to properly describe our affection. Of course, we’re writers and our trade is reviewing slots, so we have to overcome that deficiency. But The Great Galaxy Grab is a stunning example of a phenomenal pokey that really just left our heads spinning. The title is, in a nutshell, one of the best online slot machine games that we have played in a really long time. It’s meticulous, complex, and replayable to a degree that is completely unparalleled, at least in our communal knowledge. The Great Galaxy Grab, brought to us by the Microgaming casino software firm, is an out-of-this-world adventure having to do with a team of space pirates. They live vast light years away from Planet Earth, but are able to pop on over to our side of the universe to cause trouble! The Great Galaxy Grab places you square in the midst of this Milky Way madness! Considering that this game sports no less than six stupendous bonus games, we think that you will probably be rooting for the pesky space pirates!

The Great Galaxy Grab is a five-reel, twenty-five payline online slot. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to twenty-five cents. That means that you can play this as a penny slot if you are scrimping on your bankroll. Max coins is five hundred, or twenty per payline, which makes the highest per-spin wager one of one hundred twenty-five dollars. The jackpot is a modest two thousand coins. Five hundred dollars might seem like chump change, but you need to consider two things: one, that it pays out very often, and two, that the number of bonus opportunities in this game can REALLY amplify your winnings by quite a lot!

The three-dimensional graphics in this online slot game are really just extraordinary. The pictures on the reels literally jump out at you, and fully involve the lucky player in the theming and action of the game. Such terrestrial hangouts as a diner, a saloon, a bank, and a gas station show up on the reels, only redesigned to look like they are located in outer space. The golden image of the title logo is wild, and there are also scatter, bonus, and loaded symbols. Basically, you will notice a veritable pile of winning symbols in this game!

The Great Galaxy Grab’s bonus symbol is Lady Steel Scarlet, a comely alien. Get three, four, or five of this symbol to trigger the online slot’s bonus round. The scatter symbol – a big, golden-hued “G,” leads to free spins. Get at least three of these icons to score ten free spins with a triple multiplier! We’ve mentioned that this Microgaming online slot is one with no less that six bonus games. All are fun, support the theme, and, most importantly, give you the chance to win plenty of extra cash. The Space Chase Bonus games are progressively linked to one another. Every time you score three bonus symbols, you progress through another of six linked bonus games. The more games you progress through, the higher the prizes!
