Play video slots online
Video slots are at the very cutting edge of the online casino world, with hugely impressive graphics and cinematic sound adding to the classic experience of traditional online slot games. It’s a fast-moving genre that’s as exciting as it is fun.
The fun of playing video slots
At Space Casino, our slot catalogue is as innovative and futuristic as the name suggests, alongside all the timeless classics. With new games constantly being added, there’s always something new to discover, even for seasoned players.
How do video slots work?
In the most basic ways, video slots act in the same way as any other online slot game. You (usually) have a set amount of reels and these reels have several different symbols on them, all related to a theme. If these symbols line up in certain combinations, they trigger wins. The value will depend on the combination and the symbols involved.
Video slots are usually defined by the complexity of the gameplay, such as added features, and the fact that the slots are presented through moving pictures rather than mechanical-style mechanisms. This allows for cutting edge graphics to add a whole new immersive dynamic to the gameplay.
The best video slots
There are so many video slots to choose from, with dozens of providers managing to push the technology to its limits while offering new ways to enjoy slots. So it would be wrong to think that a list of games can ever be considered the best, it’s a purely personal view in a genre that’s fast-moving and innovative.
Bearing this in mind, the following are some of our favourites in the video slot world:
- Book of Dead
- Mega Moolah
- Gonzo’s Quest Megaways
- Dead or Alive Saloon
Book of Dead
If you’re thinking Book of Dead sounds like a 1980’s action film, you’re not far off. It’s full of fun, adventure and charisma, as Rick Wilde swashbuckles his way through another quest for treasure. With expanding wilds, free spins and expanding symbols, it has the types of simple but dynamic features that the very best slots of all kinds have.
Mega Moolah
A wild ride of a slot that takes you to the beautiful African savanna, where you’re surrounded by animals and a rainbow of colors, all of which integrate perfectly into its feature-rich gameplay. Wild symbols are perfectly apt for such a slot, but the bonus wheel is our favorite feature, with its exciting jackpot trigger.
Gonzo’s Quest Megaways
Another all time great video slot with a central adventuring character is Gonzo’s Quest Megaways. The franchise has been around for some time, but the Megaways update gives the experience a whole new dimension of fun, on top of the many features it’s known for, including 3D avalanche, cascading wins and multipliers. When you win on this slot, it truly feels like anything can happen.
Dead or Alive Saloon
Wild West slots have been around for some time, but few have managed to be quite as involved as Dead or Alive Saloon, which was released in 2022 by Evolution. It comes into its own with the magnificent Bounty Hunt card game, which is a nice little twist on the bonus round mechanic.

FAQs
If we haven’t covered what you need to know about video slots, below are some of the most common questions we receive. If you’re still not satisfied, please contact our Customer Experience Team.
Are video slots available to play on mobile devices?
Yes. All of our games are optimised to work on mobile devices, including complex video slots. We have designed Space Casino to be as slimline, easy to navigate and user friendly as possible. This means perfect formatting, quick loading times and low data usage if you like to play on the go.
What does paylines mean and how do they work with video slots?
Paylines are the patterns that constitute wins on all types of slots. In the old days, these used to be three horizontal symbols, such as cherries, in a line. These days, paylines are much more complex. In some cases there are thousands of them, in all sorts of patterns using a huge amount of symbols.
Video slots, being on the cutting edge of the genre, often use very complex winning lines, which is especially the case when the Megaways feature is implemented. This adds an excitement to the process as you are never quite sure what will happen next.
How do I get free spins for video slots?
Free spins are a regular feature for slots of all types, even some of the most basic classic slots. They work in the same way as all slots, where you trigger the feature and a set amount of free spins are automatically played, stacking up wins as they go.
For video slots, the feature tends to be more spectacular, with a wonderful blend of graphics, music and excitement. For this reason, free spins are one of the most sought after features in the slot world.
