Life on planet Earth can often be pretty stressful, so it's not surprising that most of us want to "get away from it all" from time to time. But where exactly can we go to get some proper peace and quiet? And how can we get away at all without giving up the day job? Our answer to those questions comprises just two words: space slots. Here are three of our favourites for you to take a look at.
Find Space Slots at These Launchpads
Starburst Takes You to the Sky
It should be no surprise that popular Starburst is our first selection, as this is one of the most popular slots on the planet. This is ironic, given that the action takes place in deep space, where nobody can hear you win. But there's no denying that this is a great game to play when you want to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
An ambient new age soundtrack will melt away your cares as you spin the five reels to match coloured gems on any of the 10 pay lines. The game pays in both directions, and if you get a Starburst Wild on any of the reels it will expand and give you a free respin. Land more Starburst Wild symbols for more respins, up to a maximum of five. Get really lucky and you could win up to 50,000 times your bet.
Burning Stars 3: Hold the Jackpot
Those of you who are worried that you might lose your suntan if you spend too much time in deep space should think again and play Burning Stars 3. This is a classic format slot with three reels, three rows and nine pay lines. Symbols include cherries, grapes, lemons, oranges, melons, red 7s and an animated burning star, which serves as a scatter.
Land three burning stars (or use the Buy Feature option) and you'll trigger a Hold the Jackpot bonus game. Here you spin the reels to collect more burning stars, and if you get 6, 7, 8 or 9 you'll win a Mini, Minor, Major or Grand jackpot, respectively.
Space XY
Not to be confused with Elon Musk's SpaceX project, Spacy XY is a brand new game that can be found in the Slots category of many casinos. It isn't really a slot, but it's just as much fun to play, and definitely worth trying at least once.
When you begin the game a rocket will be located at the bottom left of an XY chart. Place a bet and the rocket will take off, climbing into space and crossing the chart. As it does, the return on your bet will also be displayed and will increase in value. However, the rocket will eventually explode, and nobody knows when. Your task is to press the Cash Out button to take a profit before the explosion occurs.
This is a very simple concept, but it's massively addictive. Will you Cash Out early for a small return on your bet, or hang on in the hope of winning more, even though your chance of losing will increase by doing so? You decide.
Ready for Take-off?
There are hundreds of space slots that we'll leave you to explore for yourself, but if you want a quick take-off into the relative calmness of space, these three titles will fit the bill perfectly. Each one provides a very different gaming experience, but all of them will give you a great way of getting away from it all.
