Roswell Secrets

Life from other planets is a captivating topic in literature and film – in Roswell Secrets, Capecod Gaming brings this theme to online slot gaming. Named after the supposed United States government laboratories where aliens and their spacecraft are secretly studied, this five-reel slot offers players their choice among four separate kinds of free spin bonus feature.

Theme

This title depicts aliens in various settings, all of them secretive. The reels are situated in a misty wood; other events occur over green, Midwestern farmland, in the New Mexico desert, and under cover of night. Gaming symbols include a blue extraterrestrial in silhouette, a warning sign, a satellite dish, a newspaper with a picture of a UFO on the front page, and four colorful crop circle designs acting as lower-value symbols. Top secret files in a manila folder act as scatter, a UFO in flight over farmland acts as wild, and an expanded wild symbol fills entire reels, depicting that same UFO levitating a cow up towards it, caught in the act of bovine abduction. Eerie music elevates the sense of a mysteries needing to be solved. Overall, the design is visually appealing and entirely unique.

Betting Options and Functions

Capecod Gaming may not yet be an industry powerhouse, but this Italy-based design company has distinguished itself with a number of high quality slots in recent years: as the well-built Roswell Secrets indicates, attention to detail is a major company priority. The 25 fixed paylines, combined with a per-line bet adjustable from 0.016–1.00, yield a modest overall per-spin bet range of 0.25–25.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay can be set for up to 1000 spins of the reels at a time. Separate icons launch game rules and paytable information in detail, show game history, and allow players to adjust sound and display settings. The overall theoretical return to player is a solid 95.17%.

Features

Capecod Gaming is generous in providing players with four distinct types of free spin; this opportunity appears when four of the top secret scatter symbols appear on the reels. Players are given a choice between four options: twelve free spins with the same payouts afforded in base play; eight free spins with random wilds added to the reels on every spin; six free spins with a random multiplicative factor ranging from two to ten; and five free spins with a fixed triple win multiplier. Scatter symbols remain on the reels during this feature. Should the bonus be retriggered within bonus play, five more free spins will be added of the same type already chosen by the player. A bit of player choice in the normally chance-based online gaming sector is a welcome change indeed.
