Milky Ways slot summary
Milky Ways slot from NoLimit City is a departure from their normal complex and volatile games featuring the various 'X' mechanics. So forget the 150,000x potential of San Quentin xWays or the nearly as extreme Mental slot and the last one, Legion X slot. Here we have gentle classical music, a cosmic background full of asteroids and dust with luminous symbols on the reels. Pretty basic looking yet very atmospheric, can we see any astronomic wins for our bankroll here?
On the reels...
We have 5 reels of 3 rows each and 243-ways to win on Milky Ways slot with a curious black hole behind the centre 9 positions. The symbols are simple with the 5-of-a-kind pays at 2.5x Red Gem, 1.5x Yellow, 1x Green, 0.75x Blue and the corresponding colours are card values at 0.6x bet for A or K and 0.5x for Q or J. Symbols can be stacked and Solar Wilds, like scatters, can appear only on the centre 3 reels offering randomly a 1, 2 or 3x multiplier which are multiplicative so 27x is possible. The final symbol is the Milky Ways scatter which pays 1x bet for two but you need 3 on the middle 3 reels to trigger our bonus.
Milky Ways Spins
You get 3 of these for 3 scatters and the reels expand to 5 rows giving 3125-ways to win. During them, any scatter landing adds +1 spins. Any winning symbols including Wilds (of which you are guaranteed 2 in the centre 3 reels each spin) on any spin are held and the remaining positions re-spin in an event called Fusion Spins until no more winning ways are added. We are told maximum win is 5410x bet (once in 10-billion test rounds) here so very different to what you may be used to from NLC!
Our View...
Milky Ways slot has a 96.14% RTP and in a way is a refreshing change from NLC as their slots are frankly getting very 'samey' with those old 'X' mechanics and silly feature buys to appeal to slot streamers while the public gets very little chance of decent wins. The play of the game aesthetically and sounds are very easy to live with with frequent small wins. The maths of the feature has a big clue when you consider those allowed to use the bonus buy can do so for a mere 38x bet! So if want an alternative to Starburst slot or a bit of fun for your deposit, look no further - bear in mind you'll be light years away from huge wins though...
