Slot Summary

Released in 2012, Space Race reflects an earlier Play'n GO approach to sci-fi slots: a conventional five-reel game carrying two sharply separated space missions. Meteor symbols lead to Free Spins, while rockets open a Moon Landing Bonus Game based on choosing coordinates and avoiding impacts. Its 94.23% RTP and medium volatility place the emphasis on those themed diversions rather than an unusually aggressive math profile.

How It Plays

Regular wins use up to 20 paylines across five reels and three rows. The Wild substitutes for ordinary reel symbols but excludes meteors, rockets, and warning symbols.

Two symbol families interrupt that line-based loop for different reasons. Meteors direct play toward Free Spins, while rockets move it to a separate lunar landing selection game.

Theme & Atmosphere

Space, Moon, Star, and Sci fi imagery are functional parts of the game rather than interchangeable decoration. Meteors, rockets, coordinates, and a lunar destination all have mechanical roles.

The presentation follows a mission sequence: base spins establish the cosmic setting, meteor activity changes the reels, and the separate Bonus Game turns the Moon into a destination.

Features & Win Potential

The Wild Symbol substitutes for standard symbols, while meteor Scatter Symbols both pay independently and activate Free Spins when enough appear on the reels.

During Free Spins, the meteor becomes Wild. The separate Bonus Game instead uses rocket symbols, keeping the two feature triggers visually and mechanically distinct.

Free Spins Scatter Symbol Wild Symbol Medium volatility 5 Reels Bonus Game RTP range 20 Paylines

Bonus & Free Spins

Three or more meteor Scatter Symbols award 15 Free Spins. For the duration of that round, meteors change into Wild Symbols and can assist regular payline combinations.

Three rocket symbols activate the Moon Landing Bonus Game. The player selects a coordinate on a shrinking grid, then receives a prize if random meteor strikes miss that position.

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 (94.23%), 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.
