What On Earth Microgaming

What on earth is going on here? I see spaceships everywhere, I see aliens beaming up earthlings into their spaceships, and for what? All for fun of course, in the name of the game, 'What On Earth'. Okay, I do like playing aliens game, not the horrifying aliens as in 'Aliens', but in good funny aliens as in 'Energoonz'. Well, the aliens in this game don't look as good as those in Energoonz, neither are the graphics and the icons, but this is probably a much older game, so can't really complain about that. Just hope that the game can play as good.

The logo 'What On Earth' is the Wild symbol in the game, paying a nice 7500x the line bet for getting 5 of them, but this very dumb Wild symbol only substitutes for the 2 top symbols, the Blue Alien and the Dashboard. Why this is so I cannot figure out. Why it doesn't substitute for other symbols as well I cannot reason out. All I know is that this isn't a good move. There are 3 types of Scatters in the game, the Red Spaceship, the Green Spaceship and the Blue Spaceship. Why need 3 types of Spaceships? Only Microgaming knows. All I know is what on earth was going on in their minds? The Red Spaceship pays 100x the total bet for getting 5 of them, but the other 2 Spaceships can only be 3 of them, paying 3x the total bet. Why is this so? Hmm, my mind boggles! As for the other symbols, the Blue Alien pays 1000x, the Dashboard pays 500x, and the rest pay from 250x to 50x, all per line bet for getting 5 of each kind. An average paytable, because the Wild symbol disappoints, and all the other symbols have low values.

Getting 3 of the Green or Blue Spaceships, or getting 3 or more of the Red Spaceships, trigger the Beam 'Em Up Bonus game, but the Scatter symbols must be on adjacent reels. In this Bonus game, pick 1 of the 5 aliens in their spaceships to beam up earthlings to win a cash prize. Nothing big in most of them except for one nice 200x total bet prize. The rest are from 3x up to 50x the total bet amount. There is also a 'Contest' symbol, which takes the game into the next level, where your chosen alien competes with the other 4 aliens in beaming up the most earthlings. A prize is awarded for each placing. This second level game is not necessarily better than the first level, but the prize is slightly higher than in the first level.

The first time I saw the screenshot for What on Earth I thought I am not playing this game. The symbols look ridiculous and I do not like the theme either. But then I read some reviews about this slot and I was convinced. I had to try it for myself. This is 5 reels and 9 pay lines video slot game.

The game has only one feature and that is the way popular ‘Beam Em Up’ bonus round. The only thing here that I do not like is that the scatters need to be on adjacent reels to trigger the feature. But to my surprise they appear quite often. The highest multiplier during the bonus round is 200 x bet, and it 400 x bet if you are really lucky to pull up a globe.

During the bonus round there are 5 different alien space ships, so the first time I picked the red one in the middle and it awarded me with x 15 multiplier. So I won 16.20 euros, I was playing with 0.90 bet. Next time I chose the yellow one, which was the last one and it awarded me with 50 x multiplier. At one moment I thought that the multipliers are gradually lined but I do not think that that is the case. I won 51.70 euros this time. I triggered the bonus again. This time I could make sure whether my theory was true or not. But still I did not wanted to risk so I chose the fourth one, I know from experience that the highest multiplier is never at the same place twice, and I got 3 x multiplier and 20.20 win. It is good that you can trigger the feature frequently so you can try every crazy theory that comes up to you at that moment.

I also felt very tempted to raise my bet during my session. But good thing I did not, because after a while the game started to change and to not pay as much as at the beginning.

What on Earth it is an old microgaming video slot, which surprise me, really. It is not very easy to make me saying 'wow, it is interesting' or 'oh god, this is cool'. What on Earth has 9 paylines, and you can open game and start playing with 0.09 bet per spin. Or even with 1 penny per spin but with one line, not sure who will like to play such way.

Game has wilds on all reels, but payout for 5 wilds not so extra ordinary, it is just 75$ for 0.09 bet, and of course i can't say that it is biggest amount of money awarded for 5 wilds that i ever see. Scatters here also presented, and top award for 5 scatters is just 100 x total bet, but take note that scatters here did not trigger anything, and just paying money. In begin of review i wrote that this slot surprise me, and surprise in the fact, that this game has 3 different bonus games, and all three bonus games is awesome.

This is really something rare i can see at microgaming video slots, when on reels 3 different bonus symbols, and 3+ of each trigger bonus games, and all bonus games are different. Even more great thing, that two games can pay up to 200 x total bet, and one can pay up to 400 x total bet, this is really awesome, and make interesting to play this game, you never feel boring, since 3 different bonus game with a chance to win good money keep you spinning and did not let you leave this game without trying it all.

Low-medium 9 line video slot from microgaming, with really awesome bonus games. This is so rare thing for video slot that bonus game is interesting and can pay some great money, so i even recommend this game to try.I am pretty sure that you will like this game too.
