Ever since H.G. Wells wrote War of the Worlds, the concept of an alien attack has become a part of storytelling. There are two fascinating video pokies at Australian online casinos that do full justice to this theme.
Cowboys and Aliens is a video pokie from Playtech at online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino. This 9-lines branded pokie is based on a graphical novel of the same name and is designed like a comic book. The UFO is the wild symbol and it also awards the highest line payout of 10,000 coins. The other thematic symbols are cowboy Zeke, cowgirl Verity, alien, priest and Indian. Winning combinations need not start on the left most reel and this makes up for the fewer paylines. The Alien Weapon feature turns up to four symbols into wilds. The game logo awards scatter payouts and triggers 8 free spins with Comic Strip Wilds. All symbols covered by a rectangle are treated as wilds. In the Alien Attack Bonus you choose from Zeke, Verity and the Indian to fight the aliens. Verity has 20 lashes of the whip but with low accuracy. The Indian has 12 arrows with medium accuracy. Zeke has six shots with the gun with high accuracy. You are awarded benefits like cash bonuses, 2x multiplier and extra ammunition for each alien killed.
Max Damage is a 243 ways to win online pokie from Microgaming live at Australian online casinos like Casino Mate and Royal Vegas. The reels are set in the console of a space ship. The game logo is a stacked wild symbol. The other thematic symbols are Max Damage the superhero, space station, spaceship and earth. The UFO awards the scatter payouts. It also triggers 15 free spins in which payouts are multiplied two times. During the free spins feature one alien spaceship can appear on each reel. Max Damage will blast the alien spaceship to award random bonus credits, which are not doubled. The destroyed alien spaceship is replaced by a wild symbol and the line payouts are awarded after that. The free spins feature cannot be re-triggered. The bet structure is the one normally used in Microgaming 243 ways to win online pokies. The total bet is 30 times the line bet and can be as much as $75 per spin. This would begin to interest the high roller players. The top line payout of 1000 times the line bet indicates low variance so you can expect frequent wins but usually not very big ones.
