Free slot: Back To Venus

Function of Back To Venus

Here you are on Venus, the second closest planet to our beloved Earth. Your favorite farmer is waiting for you to take care of his plants. Asteroids and alien ships can help you hit the jackpot!

The online games provider Betsoft offers the Back to Venus slot. It is available since April 14, 2020 in all online casinos offering this provider. With a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 97.07%, Back To Venus can boast of being well above the average slot machine. As for volatility, it is considered to be in the average range of slots. The maximum winning potential of Back To Venus allows you to win up to 4,338 times your starting bet. The starting grid used in this slot has a classic format with 5 reels consisting of 3 symbols each. The objective is to line up these symbols on paylines to make connections and win. Several features are present to help you hit the jackpot:

• The Prickly Stick & Respin feature can be randomly triggered on any pay spin where no connections are made. A symbol is randomly selected. It becomes sticky and respins are triggered as long as no connection using the sticky symbol is made. Scatter symbols and asteroid wilds cannot appear during this feature.

• Flowering Wild Boost is the second feature that can be randomly triggered when no connection is made in a spin. A large number of Wilds can then appear on the grid during this spin only. This feature requires that no Wilds are present on the grid and Scatter symbols cannot appear during this feature.

The Wild is a sticky symbol in Back To Venus. Represented by an asteroid, it will crash into the grid to replace any other symbol. It then holds its location for the next 2 spins after it arrives. If a Scatter symbol appears on a Wild, it becomes a Scatter Wild and the spin counter is reset to 2: the Scatter Wild will be sticky for 2 more spins. Asteroid Wilds can only appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Back To Venus' different symbols

In Back To Venus you can find 10 paying symbols in addition to the Wild and Scatter. They can be classified into 2 distinct categories according to their rarity:

• Premium symbols appear less often, but have a very high value. They are represented by the farmer, the carnivorous plant, the UFO, the house, the plants or the marks left by the invaders

• Common symbols appear, as the name suggests, much more often. They allow for more consistent connections, but these pay much less. They are represented by the high values of a deck of cards (J-Q-K-A)

In the pictures above you can see the different values of each symbol in relation to a bet of 1 euro.

The different connections in Back To Venus

In Back To Venus, there are many different connections available for a slot machine using a classic grid. In fact, there are 20 predefined paylines in this slot. When you connect 3 or more of the same symbol on one of these paylines, you get a win. The further the connection extends across the grid, the bigger the payout, with the maximum being a connection using all 5 reels of the grid. Connections are valid only from left to right and only the connection with the highest payout is counted in case of a double connection on the same line. Below are the 20 different predefined paylines in Back To Venus.

Back To Venus Bonus Features

In addition to the features offered in the base game, Back To Venus offers a free spins bonus that could land you the jackpot. To have a chance to get the free spins, you will need to get Scatter symbols. These are represented by a tinkered rocket. There are 2 different bonuses available in Back To Venus and the number of Scatters you get will have a direct bearing on whether you get one of these 2 bonuses. If you get 3 Scatters on a single pay spin, the single bonus is triggered. You will then get 10 free spins during which all the asteroid wilds are sticky, meaning that they keep their place on the grid until the bonus ends.

Your chances of seeing Wilds appear also increase dramatically. In the event that you see 4 Scatter symbols appear on a single pay spin, an enhanced version of this bonus is triggered. The number of free spins remains the same with 10 free spins and the asteroid wilds are still sticky, however, the wilds can now carry a multiplier that will act on any winnings generated by a connection with the multiplier wild for a much greater potential. The Prickly Stick & Respin and Flowering Wild Boost features cannot be triggered during bonuses, but it is possible to retrigger by getting Scatter symbols.
