Space Digger Introduction

It's time to pack up your lunch, don the space suit, top it off with your helmet and head for outer space. The journey may last a little bit longer than your commute through London, but once you've gotten past the atmosphere, you're getting pulled towards the moon where there is some digging to be done.

That's our interpretation of the premise on Space Digger slot. The game was developed by the slots experts at Playtech who have a knack for creating amazing productions in a variety of themes. This time around we have a fully-mechanised reel-set that delivers a set of symbols that are quite sci-fy.

The payouts are made from left to right on 20 always active paylines. Space Digger slots comes with a free spins bonus and a wild symbol that can stop on the reels as expanded in order to dig into the symbols and improve the chances for a winning outcome. The wild is also the best paying symbol with 125x multiplied by the winning bet when five of the same land on the reels.

The design features are engaging and offer quite the adventure in rare mineral exploration on the moon, and other satellites and planets. If you are into sci-fi-ish things then this game will fly with you, otherwise, the potential for winnings will do.

The slots experts at Playtech have done enough to create animated symbols and splash screens that accentuate winning outcomes. There is even a solid space-themed musical score that keeps you company in the dark of night.

How To Play Space Digger Slot

The reel action starts with the push of the Spin button, which is located in the bottom right corner. If you wish to let the game engage in automatic spins select the Auto Play mode, which is to the left of the Turbo Mode button.

To configure the bet locate the Total Bet window which is located in the center-left area underneath the reels. This is where you can use the minus and plus buttons to determine an amount that is preferable to your way of play.

The smallest wager in Space Digger slot is £0.10 per spin and the biggest bet is £500.00 per spin, as is usual for online slots by Playtech. Translated into a value for a line per bet, the smallest wager multiplies the winning outcome by half of a penny and for the maximum bet, it is £25.00 per line.

Space Digger Symbols

The paytable is an area of the game where you can view all of the symbol payouts and other information regarding the gameplay, how the bonus feature is triggered and so on. Access the paytable by selecting the Info button from the bottom left corner of the screen.

The symbols are divided in a low paying and a high paying category. The former is represented by four space minerals and the latter category is represented by a set of power tools used to drill the moon.

There is also the Space Digger slot logo which belongs to the high-valued symbols, and there are then the wild and scatter.

How to Win Space Digger Slots

The best payouts in the game, relative to the bet, are made of five matching symbols. Four of the same also don't pay half bad but five in a row makes the real difference in your balance.

The most lucrative of the standard symbols is the Space Digger slots logo which pays 100 times the payline bet. The power tools all pay the same at 40 multiplied by the line bet.

The wild symbol is what defines the gameplay. It pays 125 times the winning line bet when five of these symbols land on a payline.

Space Digger Bonus Features

The wild symbol is part of the bonus feature and it is the most valuable symbol in the game. When it falls in full view, this mechanical drilling machine will stay in pace. If it is part of a winning outcome the Wild Digger slot wild symbol will shift one reel to the right.

The best part about it is, the symbol will remain on the reels until it shifts away from the reels completely. The second bonus feature comes when the Bonus symbol lands on reels two, three and four.

Space Digger Free Spins

When the free spins have been triggered by the bonus symbol, the rounds begin with the wild symbol fully set on the first reel. As the bonus unfolds the wild will nudge up and down. When the eight free spins have finished, the wild will remain on the reel set for the base game.

Space Digger Closing Thoughts

While the game’s symbols don’t pay an awful lot, the wild and the logo symbols do. We can’t speculate about the chances of getting five fully expanded wilds on the reels, which pays 125x, but we know that if two of these are on the screen they will do some serious digging. The chances for five symbol wins become higher immediately.
