“Star Trek Episode 3 – The Trouble With Tribbles” Characteristics
Unlike the last episode, we are not set deep in space but among a blue background. Kirk, Spock and Scotty are back for another adventure and they’ve brought some unwelcomed company along. Those troublesome tribbles are little fur balls that come in a variety of colors. You will have to engage in a game of pinball with these little guys to earn big money.
Players can wager as little as $0.35 with a maximum bet of $70 per spin. The maximum payout on The Trouble With Tribbles is $14,000. This slot game also has an Auto Play option and a couple of different betting panels. The Classic Panel displays a breakdown of bet per line and the Quickbet Panel offers a simple to use slider bar for choosing your total bet per spin.
Special Features
Three or more feature symbols trigger the main bonus game, The Tribble Pinball Feature. Tribbles are released into a pinball machine and will bounce around the obstacles eventually landing in a tube. These tubes award various cash prizes. There are also multipliers in some of the tubes or tubes that require multiple tribbles to award the cash prize.
3 Feature Symbols = Tribble Pinball Feature
4 Feature Symbols = Scatter Pay + Tribble Pinball Feature
5 Feature Symbols = Scatter Pay + Tribble Pinball Feature
For every bonus game triggered, the player is awarded a medal. Collecting 100 medals during game play unlocks the next game in the series.
An additional forced wager is included in your bet. This ensures that you receive the random Win Warp features. Any spins can result in one of four random bonus features.
Rock Creature Multiplying Wild: The rock creature will randomly appear leaving behind a multiplying wild symbol. The multiplier ranges from 3x – 10x. The wild substitutes all symbols with the exception of the feature symbol.
Scotty’s Wild Reel: Scotty randomly appears turning one or two reels entirely wild.
Spock Multiplier: When Spock appears, wins are multiplied from 3x up to 10x.
Enterprise Fly-By: The Enterprise speeds by the reels which results in all symbols in a winning combination being transformed into one of six top symbols including the feature symbol.
Conclusion:
This episode has a creative bonus game. It can pay pretty well and is worth checking out. You don’t have to be a fan of Star Trek to have trouble with tribbles.
