How to cite

Slot Summary

In 2013, Space Wars made the aftermath of a win more important than a separate bonus trigger. NetEnt sends every winning symbol into a cloning process, redistributing copies for a free respin and another chance to connect across 40 lines. Its 96.75% RTP and medium volatility support that repeated base-game rhythm, while the cartoon alien conflict gives the cloning rule a fitting science-fiction identity.

How It Plays

A regular winning combination immediately leads to a free respin. Before that respin, the winning symbol is copied and returned to the reels as stacked symbols.

Because the copied symbol changes after each qualifying result, the respin does not preserve a permanent modifier. Each win creates its own short extension of the base game.

Theme & Atmosphere

Space, UFO, Monsters, and Fantastic themes form a cartoon conflict between rival alien groups. The tone keeps the science-fiction subject readable rather than technical or severe.

The cloning device gives the Space setting a mechanical purpose. Symbols are copied as if processed by alien machinery, connecting the science-fiction premise directly to each respin.

Action & Adventure Space UFO Fantastic Monsters Sci fi

Features & Win Potential

Respins activate after every win and redistribute the winning symbol as Stacked Symbols. This can place larger blocks of the same symbol across several active paylines.

Wild Symbols appear only on reels 2 and 4 and substitute for regular symbols. Their central placement makes them connectors rather than independent edge anchors.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.75%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
