WHAT’S THE STORY?

Fans of the ‘90s get your frosted tips and baggy cargos at the ready as *NSYNC are back to perform once again. Join Justin, JC, Lance, Joey and Chris onstage in this musical title.

FEATURES

With rock bands like Twisted Sister, KISS, Alice Cooper and many more in their repertoire, Play’n GO have shifted their focus to pop in this dynamic title. Set in an unusual 2,3,4,3,2 grid layout in the base game, this slot cleverly combines nostalgic aesthetics with contemporary features.

The action takes place in the Free Spins feature with the objective of expanding the reels, which only happens in the Encore Spin feature. Pop Symbols appear on the top and the bottom of the reels, with every ‘Pop’ a Mystery symbol is revealed. The aim is to clear the grid in the Free Spins feature of all the Pop symbols to take the player to the Encore Spin feature.

Members of the band appear on the reels and are united as they act as the Wild symbol which fans of the band will be pleased to see.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

*NSYNC

Justin, Lance, JC, Joey and Chris come together once more.

One of the biggest boybands to dance onto our screens in the ‘90s, even though they’ve gone their separate ways, NSYNC are still bringing Pop to our ears.

30^th June 2022 – Prepare for thunderous payouts as Jelly transports players to the deep west where majestic beasts roam the Native American lands in Buffalo Blox Gigablox™.

This high volatility 5-reel, 20 payline slot can see players land super stacked buffalos, colossal Gigablox™ symbols up to 4×4 in size, and special coins paying on any spin.

Yggdrasil’s popular Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) Gigablox™ enables dynamic reels to spawn gigantic blocks, creating truly massive wins for lucky players, and takes the player experience to a whole new level.

Players can trigger the game’s free spin bonus by landing five or more diamond scatter symbols on the reels, with each symbol revealing a value of +1 or +2 free spins. If any further diamonds land during the feature, the bonus will automatically retrigger with even more super stacked buffalo and coin symbols in play.

Slot Details

Mega Don is a video slot with 5 reels, 4 rows and 1,024 ways to pay. Wins are awarded for matching three or more consecutive symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost. Take an aquatic food chain inspired spin from 0.10 to 100 credits. This game has a high volatility rating and a 96.20% RTP (TBC). Alternative RTP models will be found at some casinos at 94.20%, 91.20%, 87.20% and as low as 84.20%. Check the game upon loading to find its RTP status.

An aerial view of the deep blue provides the perfect spot for watching sharks emerge from the deep to fill their bellies with smaller fish symbols. Dramatic music and blood-stained waters introduce features in a game themed around the aquatic food chain. The shark-infested features inevitably consume the low and mid-paying characters of shrimp, minnow, pufferfish, boxfish, marlin and barracuda.

From BigWinBoard

Like the music, Mega Don’s math model is highly volatile as well, swinging all over the place while producing a default RTP of 96%. Played on a 5-reel, 4-row game panel, Mega Don provides 1,024 ways to win – occurring when three matching symbols land in adjacent reels starting from the left-hand side. Any device is suitable for use, and stakes vary from 10 p/c to £/€100 per paid game round.

Mega Don’s paytable and gameplay are reminiscent of the rules laid down in the Jack London novel ‘White Fang’ – ‘Life lived on life. There were the eaters and the eaten. The law was: eat or be eaten.’ For the low pay symbols, players get six small fish ranging in value from 0.4 to 1x the bet for five of a kind, and three high pay sharks worth 2-4 times the stake for five of a kind. Lending a helping hand, or tooth, or whatever, is the jaw patterned wild symbol, which is used to substitute all symbols except the scatter.

The Aliens make a return in NetEnt’s Space Wars 2™ Powerpoints™ Slot. They’re still wreaking havoc across space – fighting for that legendary space crystal. And you thought humans were bad!

Space Wars 2™ Powerpoints™ is a sequel to the popular Space Wars™.

The game is a 6-reel, 6-row video slot featuring the Powerpoints™ mechanic, Wild symbols, Multiplier Wild symbols, the Avalanche™ feature, the Column Blaster and Row Blaster features, the Zapper feature, the Bomb feature, 3 Combo features, and Free Spins with expanding reels. The game is also equipped with the Buy Feature to activate guaranteed Free Spins.

Space Wars 2™ Powerpoints™ is optimized for both desktop and mobile – and virtually every accessible operating system (including android and iOS). The UI is adaptable to the device and screen.

The symbols at the heart of the game are aliens and space rocks. The high-paying symbol is the ruby-colored crystal. This is the fabled space crystal that the alien clans won’t shut up about. Medium-paying symbols are the aliens themselves. Low-paying symbols are space rocks. As for feature symbols: the Column/Row Blaster symbols are Space Torpedoes. The Zapper is a glowing hexagon ball. And then there’s the Wild – a robot displaying a hologram of a ‘W’. And the Multiplier Wild, which is a robot that displays the Multiplier.

Around the symbols is the vastness of space – you get a little bit more space in the desktop version.

How to Play Space Wars 2™ Powerpoints™ Slot

Take a spin in outer space in Space Wars 2™ Powerpoints™. Winning clusters of symbols disappear, making way for more symbols and possibly more wins! A whole range of high-tech features can be activated and can also combine in powerful combinations of features that will blast symbols to smithereens driving up your wins and Powerpoints™. More on these symbols below.

Your main objective is to fill up the meter by gathering Powerpoints™ through wins. As you fill up the meter, you’ll move up the levels and increase your win multiplier. 1000 or more Powerpoints™ in the main game activates Free Spins. This is where a great chunk of the RTP lies.

In Free Spins, the number of rows expands to 8. You can also win additional Free Spins. 1 – 3 additional Free Spins are randomly awarded when the number of Powerpoints™ on the collect meter reaches the following thresholds: 1400, 2800, 4200, 5600, 7000, and 8400. There are astronomical wins lurking in Free Spins!

If you don’t want to wait to get into Free Spins, you can activate them with the Buy Feature. More on this below.

Features

FREE SPINS POWERPOINTS™

Powerpoints™ are this slot’s rocket fuel! A match win awards Powerpoints™ (according to the paytable). In both the main game and Free Spins, awarded Powerpoints™ get added to the collect meter. As you fill up the meter, you’ll move up the levels and increase your win multiplier. Payouts are based on your bet multiplied by the win multiplier.

FREE SPINS

Free Spins will help you achieve intergalactic space supremacy! Collect 1000 or more Powerpoints™ and you will activate Free Spins. The number of Free Spins you get depends on the amount of Powerpoints™ you are awarded in the main game. The number of rows in Free Spins expands to 8. You can also win additional Free Spins once you’re in the bonus rounds.

AVALANCHE™

The slot’s reels don’t spin, but rather symbols fall into position. A match win starts an Avalanche. All symbols in matches disappear, leaving space for another Avalanche of symbols.

COLUMN OR ROW BLASTER

Blast away all who stand in your way! A 4-symbol horizontal match (both in the main game and Free Spins) awards a Column Blaster symbol. This removes all symbols except for Wilds and feature symbols from the reel where the Column Blaster symbol appears. You also get a ton of Powerpoints™ added to the meter!

The Row Blaster works in a similar way. A 4-symbol vertical match (both in the main game and Free Spins) awards a Row Blaster symbol. This removes all symbols except for Wilds and feature symbols from the row where the Row Blaster symbol appears. When this happens, a ton of Powerpoints™ are added to the meter!

ZAPPER

Now you see it, now you don’t. A 5-symbol or 6-symbol match in the main game awards a Zapper symbol. Zappers remove a number of symbol types from the reels in the following way:

• A 5-symbol match = 1 to 4 types of high/medium/low symbols are removed from the reels
• A 6-symbol match = 3 to 4 types of high/medium/low symbols are removed from the reels

In Free Spins, a 5-symbol, 6-symbol, 7-symbol, or 8-symbol match awards a Zapper symbol. This triggers the Zapper feature. Symbols are removed from the reels according to the game rules.

BOMB

Ka-boom! A winning cluster consisting of vertical and horizontal matches (of the same symbol) awards a Bomb symbol (both in the main game and Free Spins). After the wins are evaluated and removed from the play area, a Bomb symbol appears and the feature is triggered.

In the Bomb feature, all symbols (except for Wilds and feature symbols) that are around the Bomb symbol are removed from the reels along with the Bomb symbol itself, adding the corresponding number of Powerpoints™ to the collect meter.

The number of removed symbols depends on the position of the Bomb symbol on the reels. If the Bomb feature affects a Mutliplier Wild symbol, it multiplies the total amount of Powerpoints™ awarded.

WILD AND MULTIPLIER WILD

A 3-symbol match awards a Wild symbol that appears in place of one of the removed symbols (both in the main game and Free Spins). In Free Spins, it is also possible to land Multiplier Wild symbols. These are assigned a random value of x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, or x25. If the Multiplier Wild symbol becomes part of a match, it multiplies the Powerpoints™ awarded for the match by its value.

COMBO 1: COLUMN/ROW BLASTER + BOMB

If you land both a Blaster symbol (column or row) and a Bomb symbol, either horizontally or vertically adjacent to each other, the Combo 1 feature is triggered! This feature removes all symbols except for Wilds and Feature Symbols from the reels that correspond to the Blaster Symbol – depending on whether it’s a Column Blaster or a Row Blaster:

• If the Column Blaster symbol has landed, symbols are removed from the symbol’s column as well as the two reels adjacent to it (right and left).
• If the Row Blaster symbol has landed, symbols are removed from the row where the generated Row Blaster symbol appears as well as two rows adjacent to it to the top and to the bottom are removed along with the Row Blaster symbol, adding the corresponding number of Powerpoints™ to the collect meter.

COMBO 2: ZAPPER + BOMB

A Zapper symbol and a Bomb symbol appearing horizontally or vertically adjacent triggers the Combo 2 feature! In this feature, 1 to 3 types of high/medium/low award symbols transform into Bomb symbols (along with the Zapper symbol). The Bomb symbols are then activated. Ka-Boom!

COMBO 3: ZAPPER + COLUMN/ROW BLASTER

A combination of a Zapper symbol and a Blaster symbol (column or row) appearing horizontally or vertically adjacent to each other triggers Combo 3. In this feature, 1 to 3 types of high/medium/low award symbols on the reels (along with the Zapper symbol) randomly transform into Blaster symbols.

BUY FEATURE

Not the patient type? Activate Free Spins right away with the Buy Feature. 8, 12, or 16 Free Spins cost 75, 140, or 250 times the bet accordingly.
