Cazino Cosmos Slot Review

Released in January 2019, you can play Cazino Cosmos at online casinos such as PlayOjo, Guts or Unibet.

Theme and basic information

Cazino Cosmos is a sequel to Yggdrasil Gaming’s popular slot Cazino Zeppelin. Where the first was a steampunk adventure from days gone by, Cazino Cosmos is a steampunk adventure in space. The scene is set on a really cool-looking spacecraft and our host is Stella, who’s portrayed on the wild.

Her guests are a bunch of strange aliens such as the cat-like alien, an alien with a top hat and a large beak, one who looks like a robot skeleton and the big guy with the moustache. The latter is the most valuable symbol with 2,000 coins for a 5-of-a-kind win. The beak alien still offers 1,000 coins for such a winning combination and the cat alien pays out 750 coins. The robot skeleton is still worth 500 coins.

In addition, we get the card suit symbols hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades, which are worth between 100 and 175 coins for 5-of-a-kind.

The background sound is great for the theme, eliciting tension and excitement.

The slot has been beautifully drawn, which is par for the course with Yggdrasil Gaming slots.

You can play this game from €0.10 to €20, which makes it a slot suitable for the more budget conscious among us.

Spinning away in the base game

Cazino Cosmos tends to be on the more volatile side of things, sometimes leaning to the most volatile side indeed. Therefore, it’s just as well that you can’t spend too many coins on a spin, but the reels spin fast and you may hit a dry spell that will see you lose your funds quickly. So, be sure to budget carefully.

The base game doesn’t hold much excitement, to be honest. You’ll be spinning away, hoping that the occasional wild will appear on the reels to help with winning combinations and that some of them are collectible, adding to the counter above each reel. Indeed, kicking of the game, you’ll receive 3×2 collectibles to get you started, but it takes a long time to collect any more than that.

Free Spins and Free Spin specials

Cazino Cosmos is rather interesting when it comes to the free spins you can get here. Collect three scatters on the reels, and you’ll receive a bunch of regular free spins where the wild becomes sticky when it lands on the reels.

• 2 scatters award 40 coins
• 3 scatters award 10 Free Spins + 40 coins
• 4 scatters award 15 Free Spins + 40 coins
• 5 scatters award 20 Free Spins + 40 coins

If you manage to collect a wild on each reel, you will receive an additional 5 free spins. Unfortunately, the feature can be hit and miss, we’ve once collected four wilds on the reels, but they were locked on reels 4 and 5, ending up being fairly useless.

There is another way to get free spins, however. Above the reels in the base game, there are counters. Randomly, wilds will be added to the counter until you have five of them. When that happens, depending on the reel you collect the wilds on, a free spin feature with a special function will be activated:

• Reel 1 – Card Shot Free Spins: You get 10 free spins, where 2 sticky wilds are randomly added at the beginning.
• Reel 2 – Hack Free Spins: You get 10 free spins and then 5 additional spins.
• Reel 3 – Zero Gravity Free Spins: If a wild is only one position away from the reels, that reel can be nudged up or down.
• Reel 4 – Mutation Free Spins: A high-value symbol will be randomly chosen on each spin to become a sticky wild. All instances of that symbol may or may not become sticky wilds, so there’s no guarantee.
• Reel 5 – Expansion Free Spins: New wilds are added as double stacks to the reels.

Whilst it is really nice to get such free spins features, it does take forever to collect enough wilds in the base game to activate one of those features.

Conclusion: A fun but volatile slot

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Cazino Cosmos is 96%, which is really just average. Even though nothing much is happening during the base game, it’s still fun to watch the reels spinning away. However, it is a volatile slot and you really do need to be careful with your budget.

The free spins can be hit and miss, either way. But great wins are possible, if fortune favours you. The special free spin features are the best option to win handsomely, but you’ll need to hold on for some time before you manage to trigger the first feature.

Cazino Cosmos is a fun and fantastic looking slot that can be very volatile. If you manage your budget carefully, it can bring you nice wins of up to 11,821x your stake.
