A new online slot has been released by Playtech. It is live at online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino. The title is Galactic Streak. This outer space themed slot has artwork designed to look great on the smaller screens of smartphones as well. On the gaming front there are some innovative features.

Galactic Streak has four reels and four rows. But the paylines run horizontally, vertically and diagonally. And they pay both ways. This gives the slot machine 20 paylines. The reels are set in outer space. The burning sun is the wild and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. When a wild lands anywhere on the reels, it locks in place for the next spin. The sun also awards the highest line payout, which is 125x for a combination of four symbols on a payline. The other symbols awarding line payouts are colourful planets. The most rewarding of these is the red one, which looks somewhat like Saturn with its rings. Payouts are made for combinations with three or four symbols.

The astronomical payouts come through some innovative gaming features. In the Orbit Feature, every winning symbol position gains a multiplier for the next three spins starting at 2x and going up to 10x. The multiplier applies when a winning combination is formed using that symbol position. Two or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels increase the multiplier on their symbol positions by 1x. After three spins in which that symbol position does not take part in any winning combination, the multiplier is removed. In theory, you could get a win multiplier of 10x on every reel position.

Galactic Streak online slot game also has a Galactic Free Games feature. This is triggered when three or more galaxy scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. You will be awarded 10 free spins. The existing win multipliers are carried through to the free spins. The Orbit feature becomes one step better during the free spins. The multipliers on the symbol positions can increase as earlier, but they are not removed even after three winless spins for the respective positions. At worst they will continue at existing levels throughout the feature.

The features in Galactic Streak may sound little complicated to new players at Playtech online casinos. In that case you just keep spinning and let the slot machine do the calculations. You can enjoy the exhilarating feeling of zooming to the far reaches of outer space at the speed of light. There is a background soundtrack that is appropriate to the epic nature of the online slot game.
