Cosmic Quest 2: Mystery Planets

First and foremost, Cosmic Quest 2 has a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 98.95%, which is a unique case among online slots, and no other comes close to this level of payout. It means the casino only has a 1.05% edge over the player, which is around the same level you can expect to get in the best-paying table games.

The game has 20 paylines that pay left to right on a standard 3×5 board, and there are nine regular symbols that can appear on your reels. Five symbols can be grouped into low-paying symbols, and four stand out as medium-paying symbols that pay at least twice as good as the former group. There is also an expanding Wild which is by far the best-paying symbol in the game, and wins are multiplied by the number of expanding Wilds on the screen. Whenever a Wild lands on your board, it will expand to fill the entire reel it landed on.

The game has two bonus features. Jackpot Jetpack triggers the free spins game, and you’ll get 10, 25 or 50 free spins with a 2x win multiplier for three, four or five Scatters respectively. Scatterstronaut triggers the bonus round if you get three of them on your reels. This is the real bonus feature of this game, and it’s a very fun one. You’ll be taken to a new screen where you’ll play a game in which you need to navigate your spaceship through an asteroid field, and the longer you manage to avoid the asteroids, the bigger your prize.

In comparison, the free spins game isn’t that rewarding, as it’s basically only giving you spins that are free. The 2x win multiplier might matter if you happen to land a big win, but most of the time it will not change your fortune. In Cosmic Quest 2, the free spins game is just here to give you some extra money, but not a lot.

In theory, this is a winnable game. However, you will need to catch the game at a good time, when it’s ready to give you a free spins game, a bonus round, and some nice five-of-a-kind wins, perhaps even multiplied by an expanding Wild win multiplier or the free spins game 2x multiplier. But this won’t happen often at all, and it will take a long playing session to reap all the wins this slot game has to offer. Arm yourself with patience and with a good betting strategy, and you might just beat Cosmic Quest 2.
