What happens when you win in Space Wars?

Every win triggers 1 free respin. Winning symbols are moved to the Cloning Pod and cloned, and the cloned army pours onto the reels to raise the chance of the next win. This NetEnt slot plays out the clash between alien races at a fast pace. The showdown between alien races fighting for the powerful crystal against a space backdrop is worth watching too.

What exactly does the Cloning Pod do?

The Cloning Pod activates on any win. It stores the winning symbols, clones them, and sends them down onto the reels during the respin. Since the respin runs with more of the same symbol, consecutive wins can happen. The scene of cloned symbols pouring down is the game’s signature moment, and if the respin produces another win, the same process can repeat.

Where do wilds appear?

Wilds appear randomly only on reels 2 and 4, in both the base game and respins. They substitute for all symbols to make the highest win on a line. If a wild lands among cloned symbols, several lines can connect at once. Since wilds only appear on reels 2 and 4, the moment wilds land on both reels at the same time is the most exciting.

What effect do stacked symbols have?

All symbols appear as stacks in both the base game and respins. With 40 fixed paylines on a 5-reel, 4-row screen, a tall vertical stack can fill several lines at once. The official description also says the combination of stacks and 40 lines raises the chance of big wins. When stacks and the clone feature overlap, you may even see the whole screen filled with the same symbol.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 96.75% and volatility is medium-high. Hit frequency is on the low side at 16%, so quiet stretches of spins can happen. The max win is 1,000x and the bet range is €0.4 – €200, so check in the demo how many times the respin chain can continue. Bonus buy is not available, so how long the respin chain runs on regular spins is the main thing to watch.
