We’ve seen and played more than a few video slots using the space travel theme, but when travelling with Yggdrasil, one knows there’s an exciting adventure to look forward to – especially if you’ve previously played Yggdrasil’s Cazino Zeppelin launched back in 2015. Those that choose to enter Cazino Cosmos will meet a few peculiar characters and accumulate collectible Wilds to trigger free spins with sticky substitutes plus a few other surprises.

Board Yggdrasil’s amazing spaceship and you’ll find a 5x3 real area designed in line with the steampunk theme. Winning combinations are formed by landing a minimum of 3 identical symbols on one of 20 paylines from left to right. Your four travelling companions deliver high-value wins while card suit symbols pay smaller amounts.You’ll have 5 Regular Wilds and 5 Collection Wilds to help by substituting for regular icons, with the latter only appearing during the base game to perform potential substitution before they are added to their own collection.

Thanks to the minimum coin value of only $0.01, players can spin reels for as little as $0.10. If you’re willing to risk more, feel free to bet up to $20 per round. Hands-free spinning is possible thanks to Autoplay option which can be set to stop on a single win of a selected minimum value, specified cash increase or decrease, or when entering free spins. Cazino Cosmos comes complete with Yggdrasil’s usual range of settings that include adjustment of audio volume, an option to switch sound effects and ambiance sound on and off, an opportunity to increase/decrease spin speed, use Space bar to spin and display value in coins.

The Free Spin symbol delivers multiple gifts. Landing 2 will win you 40 coins while 3, 4 and 5 award 10, 15 and 20 free spins respectively, along with the 40-coin cash prize. Any Wild icons that happen to be on the reels when you trigger free spins are carried over into the bonus round. What’s more, for as long as you continue playing on the house, all Wilds are sticky and landing at least 1 Wild symbol on each reel awards 5 additional free spins.

Each of the reels has its own collectible Wild. If one manages to accumulate 5, they’ll win Collection Free Spins. Meters placed on top of individual reels indicate the number which remains to be collected in order to launch the feature. Reel 1 collection awards Card Shot Free Spins with 2 randomly added sticky Wilds, reel 2 collection activates Hack Free Spins with 5 additional spins added at the start, reel 3 collection awards Zero Gravity which nudges each reel one position up or down to reveal a Wild symbol, reel 4 collection triggers Mutation that may transform a random high-paying icon into Wild, and reel 5 collection activates Expansion which makes all new Wilds double-stacked. In every other way, Collection Free Spins play the same way as regular ones, including sticky Wilds. The first 6 collectible Wilds will be added to your collection as soon as you launch the game, two per reel 2, 3 and 4.

Yggdrasil has spoilt us rotten with the quality of their video and audio execution so we’re happy to see Cazino Cosmos delivers in line with expectations. This is a highly volatile game but also has a massive win potential. Free spins can be very lucrative thanks to sticky Wilds and even more so if you manage to complete Wilds Collection, though the latter doesn’t appear to be an easy task. The game comes with an RTP of 96% and is playable across desktop and mobile devices.
