Star Trek Slot Review

The Star Trek franchise is one of the biggest names in entertainment, and the Star Trek online slot is one of the latest licenced games from IGT, based entirely on the Star Trek movie of 2009. It features numerous familiar characters and excellent gameplay – IGT are well known for being one of the industry leaders when it comes to packing licences into excellent slots, and Star Trek is absolutely no different.

Star Trek is one of those online slots that needs little introduction in terms of the theme. Even players that did not have the opportunity to catch the latest movie will no doubt be familiar with the names Kirk, Spock, Scotty and Uhura, all of whom make an appearance on the reels. Even the standard 10 through to Ace symbols have received the Star Trek treatment, placed as they are onto Starfleet logos.

Gameplay and Prizes

Star Trek is played on a standard five reel board, with players able to select up to thirty win lines. Line bets start at $0.01 and can be increased to $10 – playing for free here at Mr Gamez gives players the opportunity to do as they please with their virtual credits, so you can play either realistically or as a high roller, regardless of your real bankroll. Kirk, as the captain, is automatically the most important character in the game and he offers the largest pay out on the standard game, with five in a line awarding 1,000 coins at the player’s chosen stake level.

Features and Bonuses

Features and bonuses are where IGT really stand out when it comes to fully licenced slot games. First up is the Star Trek logo symbol which is the wild card and appears on all but the first reel. It is accompanied by the Warp Drive scatter symbol which awards a pay out of its own and also starts the free spins rounds. Unusually, each character has their own round and which one is played is dictated by which character appears on the same spin as the scatter symbol.

During the Kirk bonus, for example, players receive between three and six win spins with a three times multiplier applied to all prizes. The difference between free spins and win spins is that on the latter, the reels continue spinning until a prize is won – players literally cannot lose on a win spin. In Spock’s bonus round, the player receives between ten and fifteen free spins with a doubled pay out rate on Kirk symbols. During the respective bonus round, each character becomes an additional wild card, leading to even larger potential prizes.

Both Scotty and Uhura also have their own bonus round with different criteria – although to find out what they are you will have to try it yourself, something that you can do for free on this page.
