May the Fourth Be With You, folks! Star Wars day is coming up, and while you won’t find any Star Wars-specific slots at sweepstakes casinos, there are still plenty of sci-fi-themed games to enjoy.
There’s no doubt that a Star Wars slot would be a hit, but Disney owns the rights to the franchise and, unlike some media companies, has generally avoided licensing its intellectual property to gambling companies. That said, it’s also indirectly in the gambling business now through ESPN’s partnership with PENN Entertainment, so there’s some chance that could change in the future.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at five other sci-fi slots with spacefaring fun to be had.
Starburst
Starburst is one of NetEnt‘s most popular games, and it’s available to play at WOW Vegas. IT has an understated sci-fi theme with a chill backing track and a spacey art style. Gems and symbols appear against a starry background. The game’s main features are a Starburst Wild and the “win both ways” mechanic. Wins pay from right to left or left to right along 10 pay lines.
