Arrival Slot

Okay, so nobody's perfect right? So we can't really blame BetSoft for going nuts in this case right? Why going nuts? Because they sent out only one Marine and one lady companion to attack an alien spaceship out in deep space! If that isn't an idiosyncrasy, then I don't know what is! If they were merely scouting, then they wouldn't have attacked that alien spaceship at all, would they. That would be a gross mistake. Scouts would report back to base and get out of there as quickly as they can. But there you go, with a bit of idiosyncrasy, a game is created. Hahaha.

Arrival is all about that one Marine guy trying to rescue that lady companion that got caught by the alien boss, the Brain. With a little bit more of idiosyncrasy thrown into the game, the Marine guy brought his pet along too for the rescue mission! Oh boy! Hahaha. Anyway, in this crazy Arrival game, there isn't any Wild symbol at all, for one reason or another. Oh sheesh! The alien boss, the Brain, is the Scatter symbol, but is a dumb Scatter symbol that doesn't pay anything for itself. Getting 3 or more of him triggers the Free Spins game, with one Wild Reel, but without any multiplier. How many free spins, I just don't know, as there isn't any indication in the paytable either. Worse still, I have played this game 2 or 3 times before, but couldn't even get 1 lousy Free Spins game at all!

The Lady is the Bonus symbol, another dumb symbol, with no payouts whatsoever, but getting 3 or more of her triggers the Bonus Round. In this Bonus game, the Lady is trapped inside a huge bubble, and the Marine has to click on the right buttons to deactivate the 4 strainers on the bubble to set the Lady free. Hmm, yes, I managed to pick on the right buttons, got the Lady free, and got her out safely, all for a lousy 30x total bet win! Oh sheesh! So little reward for such a major task, wouldn't you agree? Hehehe. The Raygun is yet another dumb Bonus symbol that doesn't pay anything for getting them, but getting 3 or more of these Rayguns trigger the 'Click Me' feature to win instant cash prizes. Getting a 'collect' icon ends the feature. Don't know how much or how big the reward can be, as nothing has been indicated, but the best win I got was only 30x my bet amount. As for the other symbols in the game, the Marine pays 400x, the Pet pays 300x, and the rest pay from 200x to 50x, all per line bet for getting 5 of each kind. An extremely low paytable!

Well, I wish the paytable wasn't so blardy low. All the payouts in the base game were so small, but they do come frequently, thereby keeping the credits decreasing at a slow pace. From the 2 different Bonus games, I could only manage to get a best win of 30x my bet amount, out of 4 Bonus games played. No chance to get any Free Spins game at all, and this was a big disappointment for me. Yes, I should give the game a few more tries, no doubt, to eventually get that Free Spins game, but why should I waste more of my money on a game that cannot pay big at all? Sorry, but there won't be any idiosyncrasy from me, hahaha.

Arrival video slot has 5 reels and 30 paylines. It is creation of Betsoft software company. I tried this game only once a few months ago, but I didn’t like it. The graphics here are not so good as at other Betsoft games. I like the theme about ˝UFOS˝ and aliens here.

The game has one click me feature. When you get three or more raygun symbols on any position this feature starts. You have to click some UFOS to reveal credit prizes. I never trigger this feature, but I don’t think here you can win big money. The prizes are not so big, I think.

The free spins feature is another feature here which starts when you get 3 or more brain alien symbols. I never triggered free games at Arrival slot, I had many times two alien symbols but the third never show up on the reels. Beside free spins feature here is also bonus game. At bonus game you have to click on some red buttons and after some time of clicking you can save the girl. At the end you get coins win. I triggered twice bonus game and my results from it were around 10€ each time. I think this bonus game is good, maybe payouts could be better.

Otherwise I think this is ok video game, but nothing special for me. One thing bothered me a little bit while I was playing it. And this was alien who sit next to select lines and bet per line option. I do not like this graphics here, it bothered me a little bit. Alien moves all the time, it would be better without this graphics; for me. I will rate this video slot game with 6 out of 10 possible stars. I think there are many better games than this one.

Arrival is a 3D slot game from Betsoft software that I explored recently. I am very interested in space and alien theme so when I was playing in a casino that has Betsoft games and saw this slot, I was drawn towards it. The name made me think it would be about space intruders and I was right. There are two spaceman characters, a man and a woman, many space related symbols and alien symbol.

This is yet another 30 payline slot from Betsoft and the minimum bets are 0.60€, which makes it a little expensive. I've played this game once for around 2000 spins and I didn't place higher bets than the minimum. Technically this game is very similar to other Betsoft slots, as there are 3 bonuses from which one are free spins.

I think that design for this game is quite decent, not my favorite because it can be a little hard to differ the symbols and the lower part where the spin and bet buttons are, are little pain for the eyes as everything blends together. But speaking about the payouts I was quite impressed by the fact that within those 2000 spins my balance went down for only 20€. Impressed because it was very hard to trigger features, usually pick me bonus for example is the easiest to trigger because it has the lowest winnings, but in this case I couldn't trigger any feature for almost 400 spins.

I really enjoyed the features this game has and my favorite was free spins. Although they don't have any multiplier and for 3 alien symbols you get only few spins, the good thing is that one reel for entire time stays wild and those times when I had this feature I had at least 30x- 40x bet winnings. For me a fun thing seemed the fact that the main bonus was also very enjoyable both design wise and payout wise. In it you have to pick buttons to rescue your colleague, while the alien is trying to hold her imprisoned. The more time it takes to figure out the correct buttons, the lower are winnings, but once I had made all the correct choices and had 40x bet winnings, which I think is a good result for a bonus round. But my least favorite is the regular pick me bonus where you get coin winnings, I got it a few times and it didn't give me more than 5x bet winnings.

The reason why I like this game aside from the visual aspects, is the fact that base game gives regular winnings. Only a few times I had completely empty spins, most of the time I would get 5x-20x bet winnings, so that my balance never got emptied, which is a good thing considering the minimum stakes. Overall I think this is a fun game that can be a good help when wagering bonuses but I think achieving high winnings could be hard, as my best win so far is 60x.

After some monsters from the farm, and angels on motorcycles came the turn of the aliens who are the main theme of this slot machine. In the foreground is a spaceship operated by being who I remind you of the famous Krang from the mega popular cartoon Ninja Turtles. You will agree with me that really looks like, but what this has arms and legs while Krang using command control his body, which is in fact a robot. Enough comparisons with cartoons and feature films, it's time to get aboard and go along on an unforgettable journey through the galaxy.

For the trip you will not need a toothbrush and toothpaste, it is enough to start to familiarize yourself with some elements of the slots. This slot also has 30 payment lines and 5 reels hundred is nothing new, sometimes I feel like a parrot when I repeat the same things every game. Arrival is graphically perfectly done and watching from my point of view the atmosphere reminds me of the intro of a PC game called Richochet. Here you will not need to know how to operate a laser gun, it is enough to follow his symbol, which also brings winning coins.

It will be these three symbols allow you to open another bonus game in which you are cutting down a UFO in order to win money, the more they will knock down more money to win. I am in such a bonus round with a stake of € 1 per spin won € 24, after which I continued playing. After about 5-6 turns again I was 3 symbols laser gun and once again played the bonus game. After the second bonus game I won an additional 18 €, which means that after two attempts was 42 € and there are gains in the regular game. I went out of the game very satisfied and full of impressions on visual appearance, sound, which is excellent and the chance to win points for the bonus game.

The game starts with a short animated story line from we get to know that in a far universe the evil alien, Zarpon kidnapped a patrol agent leaving their galaxy defenseless and the task to save her and stop Zarpon and his robot army. It’s a really great animation and looks like as if it were a PC video game’s trailer with decent action scenes.

This alien, space themed slot has a decent, funny good looks and the players have a chance to watch this intercosmic conflict from the board of the aliens space ship. The 3D imagine contains symbols like space crafts, robots, aliens and some special features are triggered by the female marine, main evil and ray weapon. The gun is attached to ‘UFO click me’ bonus where we have to shoot down the UFOs that show their value in cash prize. The evil alien is there for free spins and though the game has no wild substitute function in normal game but during the free spins we can meet an expanding wild figure that can cover the reel for the duration of up to 20 extra games and finally there’s the Rescue Bonus. I find it the best of three where we have to choose from six buttons to eliminate the blue energy shield that holds in captivity the kidnapped girl. Every successful selection destroys one of the segments of the prison and when the hero finally saves his partner we also get our own reward in cash.

Despite, Arrival has great story, very good animation, funny character and imaginative bonus games and more than acceptable main prize with 10.000 coins, somehow the more I played it the more I felt it’s not really my type of game. Maybe I just expected something little different slot or I don’t know. I also hadn’t any memorable success with it and sometimes it seemed an eternity while one of the bonus games appeared. I understand if someone finds it attractive and enjoyable but maybe because I’m not that young anymore I just can’t be enthusiastic about it.
