Cosmic Eclipse Slot Machine

Pros

• Vibrant colours and beautiful stylised artwork. Netents visual department have done a wonderful job with Cosmic Eclipse.
• Highly innovative bonus mode. We’ve never seen a gameplay feature quite like the Black Hole Feature before.

Cons

• Lacks additional bonuses. Whilst the Black Hole Feature is certainly great, it’s the only one the slot has to offer. This is a missed opportunity by Netent.

Top Jackpots

The highest payments on the Cosmic Eclipse slot machine are awarded for hitting five-of-a-kind of the planet symbols. Like the rest of the game, these have been beautifully illustrated, and each has a differing number of rings around them giving them a look that’s clearly not from this solar system. We’ve listed the prizes for hitting five of a kind of each below:

• Red Planet = 600x the line bet.
• Yellow Planet = 350x the line bet.
• Green Planet = 150x the line bet.

Game Features

Bonus symbol

The game’s “Bonus” symbol can appear on reel five during the main game only. It activates the Black Hole Feature.

Black Hole Feature

When the Black Hole Feature is activated, a symbol is picked from amongst those symbols present on the reels (except “Bonus” and “Wild” symbols). It subsequently becomes active.

The “Bonus” symbol turns into the active symbol, and all the active and “wild” symbols on the reels are collected. Following this, re-spins are awarded.

After every re-spin, all bet line wins are paid, and all the active and “wild” symbols present on the reels are collected. They are then removed from the reels
When no more symbols are collected, or 15 or more symbols have been collected, the re-spins end and the reels are cleared.

Then, all the collected symbols (or 15 if more symbols have been gathered) are placed on the reels as active symbols in a way which generates at least one winning combination. Bet line wins are then awarded according to the standard pay outs and the feature ends.

Regular Symbols

In addition to Cosmic Eclipse’s higher value symbols, there are also those that don’t pay quite so well. These lower value icons are smaller chunks of space debris than their juicier counterparts. That said, they are still nicely designed. The prizes for matching five of each are listed below:

• Green Debris = 50x the line bet.
• Blue Debris = 40x the line bet.
• Purple Debris = 30x the line bet.

Betting Limits

Since the number of win lines are fixed at 10 on Cosmic Eclipse, the player is only able to adjust the number of coins bet on each of them, along with the value of each of them. Here, the minimum value is 1p and the maximum is £1. Meanwhile, there is the option to vary the number of coins bet on each line between one and 10. This makes the maximum and minimum bets per spin £100 and 10p respectively.

Overall Rating

All told, the Cosmic Eclipse slot machine is a decent game for a few spins every now and again. However, lacking a true second screen bonus, “pick me” stage, or free games, players will likely get bored quickly. This will also almost certainly limit the replay value of the slot too.

That said, we can image the kinds of players who are more interested in visual presentation than they are multiple features and side games will adore the title. For these players, Cosmic Eclipse is a real treat. The highly stylised background, and the popping, vibrant planets make for a strong look indeed.
