Star Trek Against All Odds Slots

While Star Trek isn't my first preference—I'm more of a Star Wars kind of person—I enjoyed the Star Trek Against All Odds Slot. In case you live under a rock, this is based on the famous movie that recently came out. It includes Captain Kirk, Spock, and more. Whether you're familiar with the actual plot of Star Trek or not, you'll see more than a few familiar characters and images on these reels. This is a colorful and graphically attractive slot by the software company IGT, and they're pretty familiar with developing well-done slots at this point. It didn't immediately occur to me where the "Against All Odds" title comes from because I'm not highly familiar with Star Trek as a series.

Grid and Appearance

The first thing you'll notice with this game is the game grid floating in outer space. There are stars colliding and giant gas planets in the background, bringing a universal and interplanetary element to this slot. Each screen, from the help screen to the main game, takes you to different parts of the galaxy. Down at the bottom of the screen are all your adjustable options. On the furthermost left side is the coins section, and to the right of that is the coin value, which has a variety of options including $0.01, $0.02, $2.00, $5.00, $1.00, $0.50, $0.25, $0.05, $0.10. In the middle section is a window with a spin button toward the bottom. The total bet is located on the left side of the button and the win window on the right side of the manual spin button. On the right are the balance, the auto spin button, and a small wrench button where you can adjust the game settings. This game has a massive 720 paylines with a wide maximum bet per game. You can bet a total of $300 per game, which is a pretty wide range in my opinion. This game has five reels and includes an interactive bonus round, scatters, jackpots, auto-play, wild symbols, and more great features. I think this game has slick graphics, attractive colors and designs, and an easy navigation interface without any glitching, bugs, or anything that would interfere with the actual gameplay. There are multiple bonus features, such as the Energizing Wilds Feature, the Enterprise Defender Bonus Feature, and the MultiWay Xtra Feature. There are several symbols like Captain Kirk, Spock, space, crew members, and weapons. These reels pay both from left to right and right to left, which I'll talk about further below. This slot reminds me of Terminator or Star Wars slots and is about the same quality as those slots. The sound effects were wonderful as well and high quality in my opinion.

Energizing Wilds

After any regular spin, your screen might become active with energizing wilds. You can randomly trigger 2, 3, 4, or even 5 symbols that will be activated to become wild symbols. Considering you can have multiple wilds with this feature, you can see how this feature is more than appealing! To be clear, two of the five reels will turn completely wild, bringing more symbols into the fold.

Enterprise Symbols

It takes five Enterprise symbols to trigger the Enterprise Defender Bonus Feature. Payouts can go as high as a total of 22,500x for this bonus round, which is insane. The bonus game is really special during this round. This game is skill-based, oddly enough. If you're good at games, you'll be good at this bonus round. You just need to shoot down as many attacking ships in forty seconds to build your rank. The more ships you take down during this period, the higher you'll rank and the more you'll be rewarded.

MultiWay Xtra feature

This game is standard in some ways in terms of the IGT game selection. These slots are diamond-shaped, which I liked and thought was pretty unique. Now it occurs to me it's called Star Trek: Against All Odds because there's an unequal number of symbols on this grid. The potential payout is pretty average within an unusual grid design. The MultiWay Xtra Feature means wins are provided in 720 ways. Most slots pay left to right, so this is different. Usually, combinations start on the leftmost reel and run rightwards, but IGT does this in many of their slots, making it easier to trigger wins without limiting rules. IGT also caters well to high rollers—if you're willing to bet $300 on one spin, you're probably feeling lucky!

Would I Play This Again?

Star Trek has been part of my consciousness for a long time, even before the remakes that made Star Trek a blockbuster once more. I don't think this slot is necessarily made for hardcore Star Trek fans or the kind of Trekkies who spend all their money on Star Trek collectible toys and conventions. Since this game is based on the new Star Trek, it has universal appeal whether you're a hardcore Trekkie or a younger film fan who experienced Star Trek through the newer, high-tech series. The graphics match the high-tech film appearance and images from the films, making the game a timeless classic.

I think this game has some of the great features IGT usually offers, like the MultiWay Xtra Feature, which I wish most slots would have. I liked the Enterprise Defender Bonus Feature because you win based on skill rather than pure luck. While you need luck to trigger it, decent aim can lead to great bonuses. The Energizing Wilds Feature is another standout—who doesn't want multiple wilds? The animations and sound effects are exciting and well-made. IGT doesn't fail to deliver and is my favorite software company besides Real Time Gaming. I recommend this game to Trekkies and non-Trekkies alike. It has something for everyone.
