Cryptologic Bring Aliens to On-line Slots

December 5, 2011

Aliens have been a recurring theme across every genre of computer game. However, Cryptologic are bringing us what is possibly the very first fully immersive on-line slot which uses this theme well.

Cryptologic should need no introduction; they remain one of the most innovative on-line slots game developers around the globe. Anyone who has played a Cryptologic game will be aware that they are well known for the high quality gaming experience which every one of their slots delivers. Area 21 is no exception.

Area 21 does something quite special, by mixing an alien theme, with a blackjack style of gameplay. It is very hard to describe how well these two themes mix together, you really need to try the game and experience the synergy of genre which Cryptologic have achieved. Where the two genres really mix well is in the bonus feature game. When this is activated, the player has to play blackjack against a dealer, who is an alien. This is presented using excellent graphics and sound effects which fit perfectly. Area 21 is one of those on-line slots where you can’t wait for the bonus feature game to trigger. Of course, although the bonus game is entertaining, it also needs to be profitable. Area 21 fulfills in this are as well, allowing the player to win up to 25 free spins, and apply a variety of multipliers. At its most extreme, a good bonus feature run can result in a hefty payout.

Another key feature of the Area 21 game is the Area 21 logo or game symbol. If you manage to spin in five of these, you can win up to 50 times your original bet. Spinning in just three of these symbols will activate the bonus feature, and you will get to play blackjack against the alien dealer, as detailed above.

There have been some potentially great slots in the past, which have been let down by the ease of which a player can manage their wager. Area 21 covers this well, allowing the player to make bets from $0.01 all the way up to $20. Additionally, depending upon the wager placed, it is possible to open up 21 pay lines. For those players who prefer to cruise, an auto play feature lets them sit back and enjoy the show.

Area 21 is a great on-line slot, as we have come to expect from Cryptologic. It fuses great gameplay with a whole load of entertainment. The bonus feature game alone is worth playing for.
