About this Slot
First Contact is a sci-fi themed slot from Talore Labs with an RTP of 96.5%, high volatility and a maximum win of 25,000x. The game plays across 6 reels and 4 rows using a ways-based payline system.
Signal Wilds substitute for all symbols except the Probe Scatter and land only on reels 2 through 6. In the base game, wilds appear as standard symbols, but during the bonus round they become sticky and carry multiplier values reaching up to x1024.
The Dish Array fires one powerup per spin. These powerups can change symbols on the reels, boost wild values, add additional Probes, or shift the paytable.
Cascading reels activate after winning combinations, with symbols dropping and new ones filling the spaces above. Three or more Probe Scatters trigger 10 free spins. The number of Probes landing determines which tier of free spins is awarded. In the Decode tier, wilds start at x2. In the Deep Decode tier, they start at x4. In the First Contact tier, wilds begin at x32.
During free spins, extra Probes that land add additional spins to the round and strengthen the multiplier values of wilds in future spins.
The Bonus Features menu offers the option to purchase different spin modes, which affect how frequently the free spins trigger and the opening multiplier strength of wilds when the feature begins.
