The casino slot game has evolved into games which no longer even resemble the old fashioned one armed bandit or fruit machine if you like. This evolution has obviously been made possible by technology and the fact that online casino slot games are so much in demand. Designers respond aggressively to this need and some of the games that are coming out are quite remarkable. One of the most remarkable casino slot games I have seen in a very long time is the all new War of the Worlds, which also features the Jeff Wayne musical score.

This is a massive game, with 100 pay lines and five reels – four symbols tall. It has been created by Ash Gaming and as far as we are aware, Virgin Games is the only operator to have it at the moment. This casino slot is nothing short of spectacular and Virgin is one of the lucky sites that has more than one software designer. They also regularly get new games from Wagerworks, Virtue Fusion, Microgaming and more.

In a bid to keep casino slot gamers entertained it is hard to imaging that anything can surpass this offering, but by the same token, if this brilliant game is possible, anything is possible. The features that make War of the World even more appealing to players are an expanding wild symbol, a bonus round which is awarded for killing the fighting machines, a 25 bet autoplay and the most superb sounds, animations and graphics. There is also a return to play of 94.7%. The average is normally about 85%.

War of the Worlds is an iconic H G Wells story and this game set to the eerie and evocative music of Jeff Wayne only makes it better. We can tell it will be an instant hit with casino slot gamers, because it was with us. The musical version of the War of the worlds recently also celebrated a 30 year anniversary, but what does this game pay?

In the bonus feature there are three forward facing cannons and it is these which are used to slay the nine fighting machines. The cannons are outfitted with power meters and these boost as well as control the firing sequence. Just remember that while the power reloads the cannons will be disabled, but if you manage to destroy all the fighting machines a bonus of 500 times the wager is paid.

In a class of its own, this casino slot has to be the very best you can currently find, so give it a go at Virgin Games, you certainly won’t regret it. Whilst writing, three new games have also been launched by Virtue Fusion, Multi Balls, George and the Dragon and Treasure Time Traveler.
