Science Fiction
Literature of the type that we today refer to today as "science fiction" has been part of the written record for thousands of years. The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh dates back over 4000 years and other fantasies recounting space and time were created in civilizations from Egypt and Persia to China, Japan, Arabia and Greece.
Writers in Europe in the Medieval Era and the Middle Ages produced massive amounts of futuristic-type literature but it wasn't until the 19th century that such works were seen as a legitimate genre and given the name "science fiction."
In the 20th century, science fiction expanded into art, movies and television shows but when video gaming became popular in the 1980s, interest in works of science fiction exploded. Interactive, immersive video games were the perfect medium for imaginative sci-fi expression since on the gaming screen, nothing is impossible.
Sci-fi games are compatible with all forms of gaming, including shooter games, role-playing games, action and adventure games, character progression stories, games of strategy and tactical progression, simulation games, real money casino games and others.
Gamers have discovered that the best way to celebrate sci-fi is to live it. Casino gamers are invited to prepare for an adventure of fantasy and adventure as they celebrate National Science Fiction Day at the online casino.
Best Sci-Fi Titles at the Online Casino
Grande Vegas online casino features multiple sci-fi titles, including:
I, Zombie
Zombies have been a feature of Haitian folklore for centuries. Starting in the 1900s, fantasy writers began to incorporate the reanimated corpses that had been revived by magic into their literature which introduced the concept to Western audiences. Zombies were featured in many movies and now, you can win real money prizes when you line up zombies on the I, Zombie slot reels.
This slot portrays zombies as engaging, comic-type characters who spin on the reels accompanied by Eastern imagery, including traditional Chinese houses, lanterns and bridges. There's a sinister wizard who controls the barely-alive creatures. The highest payout symbol is the zombie, who, as the game's Wild symbol, can wander around, substituting for other symbols to create extra real money payouts.
Three Mirror Scatters launch the Free Spins round where payouts are multiplied up to 200x. For every mirror that you land you'll receive two free spins. The I, Zombie symbol continues to act as a Wild during the free spins round. Mirror symbols that emerge on a free spin activate a double payout. If five mirrors appear during a free spin, payouts are multiplied 3x.
Mega Monster
In 1818 author Mary Shelley introduced Frankenstein to the world, along with scientific concepts that were then largely unknown, such as electricity and biology. Her monster, along with the "mad scientist" who created it, made the foundational myth one of the first tales to be labeled "science fiction" and inspired the Grande Vegas online casino to launch the Mega Monster sci-fi slot.
The reels of this intriguing game are full of Mega Monster and his friends, including Wolfie, Vampirella, Frankie and others. Line up 3 or more of any of these symbols and collect the resulting prize.
The Frankie symbol can turn into a Wild when the Sliding Reels feature is triggered. When Frankie turns Wild, the reels shift left and new symbols appear to create new chances to win. If the Prize Multipliers feature activates, Vampirella morphs into a Wild symbol to complete combinations and multiply the payout by up to 5x. Wolfie goes Wild during the Expanded Reels feature when the gameboard transforms to a 5x4 grid, increasing the number of paylines and increasing the number of Wild symbols.
Three Bonus symbols, appearing during the Regular Game, will trigger 10 Free Spins. The Wolfie, Vampirella and Frankie features are active during the free spins round – sometimes, 2 features, or all 3 features, at once!
Planet of the Roos
Can you imagine a planet, somewhere in the cosmos, run by a tribe of 4-legged creatures? Science fiction writers have added such civilizations to their work for decades, as have creators of other types of media content, giving free rein to anthropomorphized beings who create their own worlds in their own images. .
Such a scene plays out in the Planet of the Roos slot machine which features traditional gameplay alongside 4 separate jackpot prize opportunities. The backstory to this dynamic slot involves a planet of kangaroos who rule the region amidst kangaroo-emblazoned coins, images of shocked roo-kings’ heads and haunted palaces. The reels spin in the castle’s treasure room, where roo guards stand watch to keep intruders from taking the gold coins that are within.
The blue-hatted kangaroo guard is the Wild who substitutes for any other symbol to complete paylines. The Scatter symbol is the spooky castle – three Scatters trigger 5 free spins but you can collect up to 10 free spins if your regular game spin results in more than 3 Scatters. During the Free spins round, reels 2, 3 and 4 transform into Oversized symbol reels which spin simultaneously with Reels 1 and 5 to activate Oversized Symbols and respins.
The Hold & Spin feature activates randomly when 6 or more bonus symbols appear simultaneously both in the regular game and in the free spins round. When the Hold & Spin feature activates, the gameboard will transform into 15 independent reels. Triggering Bonus symbols lock in place while the remaining reels continue to spin. Respins reset to 3 following Hold & Spin wins. Multiplier prizes and/or Jackpot prizes are determined based on the value of the collected Bonus symbols.
Enjoy some fantasy casino entertainment as you celebrate National Science Fiction Day at Grande Vegas Casino.
