Every now and then, software providers are releasing games with unique mechanics, and Aeterna is one of them, even though...
...space-themes titles are already well-loved in the iGaming community.
Designed and released by Black Pudding Games...
...this is a game with interesting gameplay, as well as beautifully-designed graphics that include brightly-coloured symbols, mixed reels and a view of the outer space in the background.
The meaning of the adjective Aeterna is eternal/everlasting/endless/infinite...
...which could easily be applied to this title, being the first one with Orbital Reactor.
This means the game comes with so-called orbital reels.
There are three reels, but these reels are circling and crossing each other’s paths, and...
...to win a turn in this game, you will need at least three symbols on any adjacent positions on the matrix.
Though this is by far the most interesting feature...
...there are also respins with multipliers, free spins, and more to keep players hooked as they play.
Theme & Design
This space-themed game will stun you from the moment you set eyes on it...
...as it is something like you've never seen in a slot before.
From the stunning animated background of stars and planets to the colourful symbols and space-age soundtrack...
...you can tell this a high-quality game from the Black Pudding Games portfolio.
The symbols in the Aeterna slot machine are abstract shapes that fit perfectly with the space theme.
They include a light blue pyramid, a yellow star, a red sphere, a purple pentagon, an orange cylinder, and a green cube.
There is also a Scatter in the shape of a silver A, lit from behind with dark blue.
Betting Options
Being confronted with the reels of the Aeterna title might be confusing for even the most seasoned of players...
...but you place bets and spin at this slot much like any other.
With medium volatility and an RTP of 96.19%, the stats for this game make it very comparable to many of the top online titles.
The minimum bet is 0.10 credits and the maximum is 50.
However, the interlocking reels prove that this game is anything but typical.
Beyond its unique reel array, Aeterna has its own distinctive pay rule to determine wins from its mesmerising spins, plus...
...a highly compelling cascade mechanism with a Multiplier Meter that can turn a player’s initial win into a thrilling chain reaction of theoretically infinite riches.
This game comes with six basic symbols that look like figures in different shapes and colours, as well as the letter A as a special symbol.
The pyramid is the lowest-paying symbol with 0.4x, 1x, 2x and 10x for 3, 4, 5 and 6 of them, while...
...the cube is the most rewarding symbol with 12x, 50x, 100x and 1000x.
Special Features
If you love games that regularly reward its players, you need to try this spacy release that comes with...
...three bonus features to help you continue to pull in wins.
The first uses the multiplier meter on the outside of the Reactor.
Whenever you win with regular symbols, you will activate a cascade reaction that replaces all winning symbols and brings new ones, while...
...every cascade results in an increasing win multiplier up to a total of 20x in the base game and 40x in the free spins!
The free spins are triggered whenever you land four or more scatters in the Reactor.
You will be granted a spin of the Wheel of Fortune to determine how many free spins you will get.
There is a minimum of 5x and a maximum of 30x, and...
...the win multiplier function is active here as well, with a starting value of 2x and additional free spins can be triggered without limit.
Finally,...
...the Aeterna game also has a brilliant little feature called the Twin Win Booster.
Should you land a reel of two 3x wins, the Reactor will swap it out for a higher-paying 6x win!
