mystery mission to the moon slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Space. The Final Frontier. The Mission: To boldly go where… oh, sorry, I got a little distracted there! Seriously though, why aren’t space-themed online slots more popular? There are so many themes and ideas to choose from; it seems like madness that the concept is so critically underused by developers at this time. Where are the games based on the solar system? Or planetary systems such as that of Mars? How about a SpaceX game with a bonus round triggered by hitting all three stages of Starship? Even the great space franchises of Star Wars, Star Trek, and Stargate are disappointingly underused by the online casino industry, which is a huge shame for fans like me.

Is “ Mystery Mission: To The Moon” enough to satiate gaming fans who have been waiting ten years for the release of Star Citizen? Highly unlikely, I suspect, but the maximum win of 500x your bet for a full pay line of six wild moon symbols is undoubtedly a great start to proceedings! The highest-paying regular symbol looks like a red spacesuit with a flame in the visor, which is actually a little scary but also has a return of 500x your bet for six-of-a-kind. An alien being is next, although returns drop off sharply here as he is only worth 100x your bet for all six of his symbols. A human with an elongated glass helmet – very reminiscent of that worn by the green aliens from Futurama – is next and will pay you 75x the current stake for a complete pay line. There are three more high-paying symbols, a green robot paying 50x for six-of-a-kind, a laser gun of sorts at 25x, and an antenna, I think, At 20x. The bonus round is triggered by the wild moon symbol, which is a feature that I always appreciate and means that there are no scatter symbols to discuss here.

Clicking on the arrow at the side of your current bet will pop up a quick selection window with 12 different options for your next wager. The minimum bet permitted is just €0.10, which is sure to be appreciated by those with smaller balances, whilst the maximum of €100.00 is sure to be enough for even the most degenerate slots fanatic. The only issue is the tiny number of options between these two extremes. The first five bets cover €0.10 to €1.00 per spin, leaving only six more steps before you reach €100.00. I’m sure there will be players who would appreciate the ability to fine tune their bet a little more than To The Moon will allow.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game consists of six reels with four rows each, all of which have a distinctly stretched appearance so that every position is much taller than it is wide. This is an unusual look for an online slot, but it works well if you are vertically playing the game on your smartphone. 

As for the graphics and symbols, as always from Push Gaming, they all look very good – highly detailed, well drawn, and with great use of colour. The sound isn’t half bad either – quite “space-y”, if you know what I mean… I still ended up turning it off after around 15 minutes of play, however, as repetitive music loops always seem to end up grating on me eventually. 

Three or more matching symbols starting from the left will award a win, whilst bigger prizes are waiting when four, five, or six matching symbols happen to line up on a pay line. The top prizes available in the base game are excellent, in my opinion, and ensure that even the base game of To The Moon can be an exciting experience.
