I have had a lot of people telling me that I need to start watching Battlestar Galactica, as they say it is one of the smartest, best put together science fiction shows of all time. I have never watched the show, but after playing the Battlestar Galactica pokie by Microgaming, I may have to.
This is a video pokie that really does a branded license justice. Everything put out by Microgaming with Battlestar Galactica is first-rate, and I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun it is.
Graphically, Battlestar Galactica may be one of the most impressive video pokies that I have seen from Microgaming. Everything here is in crisp high definition, and I found the symbols and overall feel to be fantastic.
Every symbol that Microgaming put into play here looks nice, even though the face card symbols are a bit of a disappointment, as I want to see as many custom symbols as possible.
Animation wise, the game moves like silk, and the background and in-reel animations just look stunning. There is always something going on here, and I can say that I am very impressed with the animation mode of Battlestar Galactica.
Not knowing too much about the Battlestar Galactica franchise, I was mainly focusing on the gameplay here. The game is a lot of fun to play, and I ended up putting in more than two hours spinning the reels here.
I love the way that there are Random and Stacked Wilds that end up dotting the game and make your experience better. I loved the Stacked Wilds in particular, as the game sees them come into play with almost every spin, and I scored some massive wins this way.
Free Spins are also available, but don’t occur as often as the Wilds. Still, when they do pop up, the feature does award some great opportunities to win big.
Having spent two hours with this game, I can say that I ended up a whopping $650. I am shocked as to how well I did here and am absolutely thrilled with my results.
Overall, I love Battlestar Galactica, even though I don’t know much about the series. I love the look and feel of the game, and the many features do a lot to keep you entertained.
Battlestar Galactica is a great pokie, and I recommend you play it the next time you visit a Microgaming powered casino.
Overall: A-
