Slot Summary

Lighthearted sci-fi and high-volatility play meet in Zap Attack, Thunderkick's cartoon invasion of the town of Roswealth. Its identity comes from making the attackers part of the payout system: invading wilds amplify wins, while the free-spins round turns the town's inhabitants into higher-paying aliens.
MechanicsExpanding wild multipliers combine within winning lines

How It Plays

Wins are evaluated on 25 paylines rather than by counting matching symbols anywhere on the screen. Stacked symbols can occupy multiple positions, while ordinary wilds substitute in paying combinations.

The alien is the highest-paying regular symbol and can pay with two matches. Human characters sit below it in the paytable, giving the bonus round specific symbols to upgrade.

Theme & Atmosphere

Roswealth is a fictional small town facing a UFO invasion. Thunderkick presents the attack as cartoon comedy, with everyday townspeople supplying the human side of the conflict.

The setting draws its personality from the clash between ordinary local life and extraterrestrial attackers. A sheriff, waitress, and elderly resident give the invasion a recognizable small-town cast.

Features & Win Potential

An Invading Wild can stretch across its entire reel and apply a multiplier of up to 5x. When several participate in one win, their multipliers multiply together.

Zap Attack has high volatility and a maximum win of 5000x the stake. That ceiling limits the final payout even when several wild multipliers combine in the same winning line.

Bonus & Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters awards 7, 11, or 15 free spins respectively. The different trigger sizes therefore change the starting length of the Bonus Invasion round.

During free spins, alien shots accumulate against human characters on an upgrade ladder. After 10 hits, a character becomes the higher-paying alien and the round receives an additional free spin.

Bankroll survival simulator

How long could a bankroll last on Zap Attack? We simulate thousands of sessions from this game's published RTP and volatility — the long-run math, not a prediction of your next spin.

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 (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.17%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (5,000×).

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.
