Invading Vegas: Las Christmas Slot Review

Invading Vegas: Las Christmas Slot Overview

Having dropped into Sin City in the original Invading Vegas, our extraterrestrial chums are sticking around for the festive season. Seemingly now firmly settled into the gambling capital of the world, the uninvited visitors have shown scant respect for their surroundings and set about wrecking the place just in time for Christmas. With the exception of the newly dilapidated surroundings, anyone who has played the first game from Play'n GO will find familiarity in the overall vibe and game mechanics. However, this offers more than your standard Rudolph-related re-skin job, with the Walking Wilds feature receiving a Mystery Symbols upgrade and the max win more than doubled to 2,500x. Sounds like it might be worth taking a closer look at what’s on offer in this sci-fi slots stocking!

By the time winter rolls around, the slot-o-sphere always experiences an invasion of Christmas-related reskins – many of which do little more than sprinkle a little glitter on an existing title. It is, therefore, refreshing to see a developer make a little effort to improve the gameplay mechanics, and, for us, this represents a decent step up on Invading Vegas. The increased max win potential is the standout, whilst adding the Mystery Symbols to the Walking Wilds system considerably increases the base game thrills. The graphics and audio are as excellent as ever, hitting the sweet spot between cult movies of yesteryear and festive frolics. It’s all a whole lot of fun, and barring a couple of well-below-par RTP ratings, many slots fans will be delighted to find this under the tree.

Invading Vegas: Las Christmas Slot Features

Alien Wilds

Our guests are getting into the swing of things, having now tacked a Santa hat onto their jam jar helmets. Aliens may appear on any reel and substitute for all standard symbols to help create winning combinations. Alien Wilds are also the top-paying symbols of the game at 30x for five.

Mystery Symbols

They may have snapped the Vegas Eiffel Tower in half, but the invaders are at least willing to dish out a present or two. Gift Box Mystery Symbols all open to reveal the same symbol or a Wild featuring an x2, x3, x5, or x10 multiplier. If more than one multiplier appears on the same winning line, their values will be added together and applied to the win.

Lock On Re-Spins

This feature kicks in whenever a stack of matching symbols appears on reels one and two and no wins are produced. Whenever this occurs, the central reel will re-spin to give you a second chance of bagging a payout.

Walking Wilds

The main attraction of the base game kicks into gear if a stack of Wild symbols appears on the central reel during a Lock On Re-Spin.

The Stacked Wild will then trigger a further series of re-spins, with the Alien Wild moving one reel to the right each time. So far, so familiar for those who have played the first game. However, this time, when the Alien Stack moves, it will place between three and 12 Mystery symbols on random reel positions – bumping up the win potential of the base game. Re-spins continue until the Alien Wild saunters off the right side of the grid, and all reels re-spin one last time.

Invading Vegas: Las Christmas Slot Bonus Features

Slot Bonus Unlocked — Free spins unlocked

Free Spins Bonus

UFO Scatters may appear on any reel. Crashland three or more on a single spin, and you will take flight into the bonus round armed with 12 free spins. Three or more Scatters during the round will produce a full re-trigger up to an impressive maximum of 120 free spins!

Free spins take place on the same 5x3 layout as the base game, but more Stacked Symbols have been added to reels one and two – increasing your chances of triggering Locked Re-Spins and Walking Wilds.

During Walking Wilds, the Aliens will now move one reel to the left on each spin, leaving a collection of Mystery symbol presents as they go.

Our Verdict The Walking Wilds system is the main selling point of the base game and steals the show in the bonus round. Having the green-skinned heroes move to the left increases the chances of enjoying the Wild benefits, whilst the re-trigger potential is excellent.

Invading Vegas: Las Christmas Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.20%	Yes	Medium

The top-end Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 96.20% is a festive flourish above the industry average RTP of 96%.

Invading Vegas: Las Christmas glides through the medium volatility skies. Slots of this rating tend to provide a nice balance between the regular small wins of low volatility games and the greater win potential of high volatility releases.

Our Verdict At 96.20%, the game represents solid value for money. However, you should be aware that, as a variable RTP release, alternative, lower settings of 94.20%, 91.21%, 87.20%, and 84.20% are also available. The setting in use at your online casino of choice should always be listed in the information section of the game. Judging by the state they have left Vegas in, these Mars Attacks-style critters are fairly volatile beings. However, a healthy dose of humour helps lighten the mood, and, given the relatively low max win, the medium setting feels like the right fit.

Invading Vegas: Las Christmas Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

A snow-bound, green-hued, and dilapidated Las Vegas provides the backdrop. The Statue of Liberty stands tall in defiance, but everything else lies in tatters, with a crash-landed UFO suggesting the Aliens haven’t gotten off scot-free. Things are a little happier in the feature, which sees Vegas restored to its former glory for the free spins fun. The local residents from the first game return to the reels but now come complete with an array of silly glasses, red noses, and woolly jumpers and reveal a Christmassy alter-ego when involved in a win.

Invading Vegas Las Christmas (Play'n GO) 1 — Base game spins

Invading Vegas Las Christmas (Play'n GO) 2 — Scatter symbol on the reels

Invading Vegas Las Christmas (Play'n GO) 3 — High value symbols form a win

Invading Vegas Las Christmas (Play'n GO) 4 — Wins in the base game

Audio

The audio team have created a mash-up of a 50s Music Hall, Christmas, and a classic Sci-Fi soundtrack. Piano’s twinkle, bells jingle, and trumpets blast whilst an eerie theremin underlies it all. The reels clank by to a rickety wooden effect, providing a nice contrast to the space-age electronic whirrs and ascending whooshes which accompany the arrival of special symbols and wins.

Our Verdict Much like many releases from this developer, the visuals are impossible to fault. Whether in the gloomy base game or joyful feature, the backdrop resembles a high-end video game, with flickering flames and floating snowflakes adding to the realism. Much of the fun is then packed into the morphing high-pays and Santa-bearded ETs of the reel symbols.

Play’n GO has ensured that the tinsel-tinged fun is available to desktop players and mobile slot fans. Invading Vegas: Las Christmas is fully optimised for the small screen, meaning Android, iOS, and Windows users will find all of the gameplay and features intact.
