Eight years after the original It Came from Venus slot hit the market, the sequel to the popular Betsoft Gaming title is ready to captivate slot lovers all over the world. Featuring a 5-reel layout, cartoonish graphics and immersive gameplay, this slot offers punters the chance to claim prizes of up to 4,338x the stake. A stake of $0.20 will be enough to get the reels spinning, and once they do, a myriad of features will be there to further add to the excitement. Wilds, Scatters, respins, Wild Boosts, multiplier Wilds, and a Free Spins bonus round are just some of the features this slot has on offer.
Featuring the familiar meat-eating plants from outer space, the game is set on a farm and boasts nice visuals. Your goal will be to stop the alien invasion, and you can expect nice rewards for doing such a difficult task. Back to Venus has a standard 5-reel 3-row layout, with a total of 20 paylines for players to benefit from. When it comes to wagering, you’ll be able to spend from $0.01 to $1 on each of the game’s lines, meaning your betting options will range from $0.20 to $20 per spin. The RTP averages at an excellent 97.07%.
The game’s cartoon-style graphics are very enjoyable and create a perfect atmosphere for this adventure. Players who had the chance to play the original title will find the visuals very similar, offering a familiar playing experience. Populating the reels are alien meat-eating plants, barns, flying saucers, rockets, and the slot’s main character – the farmer. You’ll also find Wild, which will be able to help punters complete winning combinations by substituting for other regular symbols, and Scatter that triggers the Free Spins round.
Prickly Sticky and Respin is a randomly-triggered feature, although this will happen only after a non-winning spin. Once it’s unlocked, it will make a random symbol sticky on the reels, and respinning all other. The feature will come to an end once you manage to get a win using the random symbol.
Flowering Wild Boost is another random feature – also available only after a non-winning spin. When activated, the reels will light up, with Asteroid Wilds appearing on reels. All Asteroid Wilds - which will be able to land only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 - can become sticky, staying on the reels for another 2 spins.
The symbol with a rocketship on it is the Scatter, and it will appear on all the reels bar the leftmost one. You’ll need at least 3 of them to trigger the Free Spins bonus round. You’ll get 10 spins, sticky Asteroid Wilds and the higher odds of getting additional Wilds. If you activate the round using 4 Scatters, you’ll also receive 10spins, and sticky Asteroid Wild, but you’ll also have the opportunity to significantly boost your winning thanks to multiplier Wilds!
Betsoft Gaming has done a good job with Back to Venus, which is a worthy successor to the popular 2012 title. Since this is a medium variance game, it will be appealing to both penny punters and high rollers, while its offering of features and rewards – and an excellent RTP – promise a memorable playing experience.
