Planet Fortune from Play'n GO: Slot Review - prepare for Blast-Off!

Join Astro-Adam and Extragalactic-Eve as they embark on an out of this world space adventure.

Science-fiction is going through a bit of renaissance period right now as Star Wars is back with a whole new trilogy and just recently a new reboot of Star Trek has been airing on television. Acclaimed software studio Play’n GO noticed this trend and released this sci-fi themed slot to appeal to players who like to go on a space adventure. This game focuses on the heroes Astro-Adam and Extragalactic-Eve as they explore new frontiers for gems, crystals and of course encounter the odd dangerous robot along the way. Let’s see if this slot is worth heading into space for!

Planet Fortune has 5 reels with 40 paylines and comes with Free Spins, Sticky Wilds, Stacked Symbols, and a Magnetic Mayhem feature.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is the Wild symbol and this is represented by a robot with a very old-school bulky design. This symbol substitutes for all other symbols to help form winning combinations on the reels. The Wild symbol is also the most valuable symbol in the game as if you land 5 of these symbols on an active payline then you’ll be celebrating with a galactic sized payout worth 62.5X your initial stake!

The game comes with a cool feature called Magnetic Mayhem which is a random event that can occur on any spin in the main game. When this feature triggers, 2 or 3 adjacent reels will stick together and display only 2x2 or 3x3 mega symbols. This feature can be highly rewarding especially when you realise that all character and item symbols can appear in stacks of 2, 3, or 4 symbols on the reels. The only symbol that does not appear in Magnetic Mayhem is the Robot Wild.

The final feature to highlight is the Robot Revolution Free Spins feature. This is triggered when you land 3 or more Wild symbols in any position on the reels. Once activated, you’ll be awarded 10 Free Spins and all Wilds that triggered the feature become sticky and remain on the reels. During each Free Spin, all Wilds remain on the reels and will proceed to move one reel to the left. Additional Wilds are added on each Free Spin to help boost your chances of landing a big payout.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The presentation of the game is outstanding and what you would expect from software developer Play’n GO. The slot is set on an alien planet with a dusky sky and features lots of spaceships buzzing around in the background. The graphics are fantastic and feature lots of retro 1950s style sci-fi iconography. It works really well and transports you back to a time when TV shows like Lost in Space and the original Star Trek were all the rage. Symbols are wonderfully designed and consist of Astro-Adam, Extragalactic-Eve, a Gem, a Crystal, and the standard A- 10 icons. The animations are stylish as symbols enlarge and animate nicely when part of a winning combination. I really liked how the Wild symbol which is the friendly robot with green eyes changes into an evil looking robot with red eyes whenever you trigger the Free Spins bonus game.

The music is light techno with lots of zany sound effects. It ties in perfectly with the retro sci-fi theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 40 paylines, a very good RTP of 96.5%, and a fantastic maximum payout worth 2,500X your initial bet.

Our Verdict on Planet Fortune

This game is made by Play’n GO and it’s one trip into space you won’t forget anytime soon! It is superbly designed and the 1950s style sci-fi theme is quite unique for an online slot and frankly makes it all the more appealing to spin those reels. It's also super easy to play thanks to a wonderfully designed user interface and contains a fantastic range of highly entertaining features. The Magnetic Mayhem feature triggers quite regularly and the rewards can be massive especially when you land 3x3 symbols on the reels. I had to wait a little longer to trigger the Free Spins bonus game but it is definitely worth the wait as it features Walking Wilds on the reels and additional Wilds are added on every Free Spin. The only downside of this feature is that you cannot retrigger more Free Spins. I found this slot to be of High variance, so you’ll have to be patient for a big win to land but when they do the payouts can be huge especially when you consider the fact you can win up to 2,500X on every spin! For similar slots with a sci-fi theme, check out Battlestar Galactica and Reactoonz.

Find a galactic fortune full of gems and crystals when you play Planet Fortune!
