Overview
Bold, colorful and creative artwork sets the theme for this science-fiction inspired 5 reel video slot machine. What on Earth offers a wide range of bonuses and its fun outer-space theme features such reel symbols as flying saucers, galactic monsters and asteroids. With a betting range between 0.01 cent and 1.00 dollar, this game offers something for all levels of slots player. Between 1 to 5 coins can be played per payout line, which provides a maximum wager of 45 coins (9 lines x 5 coins per line) per spin. The maximum jackpot is 37,500 coins, before bonuses. Wagering 1 coin per line at 0.01 cent, this game can cost as little as 0.09 cents (1 coin x 0.01 cent x 9 pay-lines) per spin, while still allowing the player to take advantage of activating each of the 9 paylines.In order to trigger the maximum payout, you must play 5 coins per line at whichever denomination you choose. For those players who can afford to play the maximum number of coins, as we recommend, at the highest denomination (1.00 dollar), this slot machine will average $45.00 (5 coins per line x 1.00 x 9 paylines) per spin, however it is not necessary to wager at this level in order to be eligible for the Jackpot, which is 37,500 coins.
