Insert Coin: How the WMS Space Invaders Evolution Slot Works
The first thing you’ll notice when you play Space Invaders Evolution is the fact that the reels are much larger than those of most slots online. Here you’ll find six reels and each of those reels is four symbols high – a big step up from the almost standard 5×3 reel set up.
On the reels, you’ll find a series of images related to the original Space Invaders game. First, you have the three standard aliens, which have today become a part of the pop culture. These yellow, green and blue pixelated aliens don’t look particularly dangerous, but when the last alien is zooming across the screen and you’re desperate to finish off the round, these little aliens will get the pulses racing.
On the side of the original Star Wars cabinets you’d find an image of the aliens, these hairy looking space monsters not looking like the pixelated aliens at all, but these guys have also made it onto the reels. Joining these symbols is the ‘mystery ship’ which flies across the top of the aliens in the game, awarding a mystery prize while you’ll also find an image of a battle in space. The standard symbols are completed by the playing cards J, Q, K and A, these being pixelated of course.
The Space Invaders logo acts as the wild symbol and this is stacked throughout the game. Stacked wilds are always very useful, as they can really give a boost to the bankroll. These stacked wilds can become amazing when they line up on consecutive reels, ensuring that many of the games win lines all pay out at once.

This option sees you taken to the screen above and you’ll play the actual game. This version is completely faithful to the original game, with the only difference being the fact that you’ll only have a limited number of shots available. For each green alien you hit, you’ll be awarded at least 5 credits, yellow aliens pay at least 10 credits while the purple aliens are worth at least 15 credits. If you manage to hit the mystery ship, you’ll advance to the next level. As an added bonus, if you do hit the mystery ship, you could also be awarded the progressive jackpot – so save those shots and get your finger ready to blast the mystery ship out of space. The progressive jackpot is only available in the skill-based game, which is a further reason to play this bonus feature.
