Although the music featured Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds slots game takes the spotlight, the graphical representation of the game is also very impressive. Each of the five reels stands four symbols high and there are actually two versions of the game that you can choose from.

The War of the Worlds Slots Review

The first version is a Full Quality game which has all of the audio and graphical effects activated, and this is the best option if you have a decent internet connection and want to experience the game in all of its glory. The second version is a Reduced Quality game which has less audio and graphics and therefore involves a smaller initial download. Our advice would be to play the Full Quality version if at all possible because it really is worth the slightly longer download.

When you launch the Full Quality version of The War of The Worlds slots game you will be treated to an introductory video which sets the scene. You can skip the video introduction if you wish, and you may well choose to do so when you return to the game in the future so that you can get straight down to the action.

You set your stake by pressing Stake Up and Stake Down buttons at the foot of the screen, and then you press the Play button to set the five reels in motion. Symbols used in the game include the playing card ranks J, Q, K, A and superbly illustrated scenes from The War of The Worlds story. A Wild symbol serves to stand in for most other symbols to help you achieve wins more easily, and if you get two Wild symbols on a reel then that whole reel becomes Wild.

Get three Bonus Symbols anywhere on the screen and you will launch a Fighting Machines Bonus game, where you are guaranteed to win a cash prize. The bonus game gives you three cannons with which to shoot down three Fighting Machines. Succeed and you will get another three cannons to shoot down another three machines. Succeed there and on the third and final screen you will have a chance to repeat the feat. Successfully shoot down the maximum possible number of machines (which is nine) and you will win 500 times your total stake!

We could go on describing this unique game in even more detail, but to fully appreciate Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds you need to play it for yourself. The game is available at a number of venues including Virgin Casino, so turn your speakers up, give it a go and you will soon be enjoying an online slots experience like no other!
