Mystery Mission to the Moon Review

Push Gaming has had pretty decent success with their ‘book of’ inspired Mystery Museum, and Mystery Mission to the Moon doesn’t stray too far from the original success formula. At least not in terms of features, but the theme takes you on a cartoonish space adventure to the moon. The retro style sci-fi visuals are excellent, and the soundtrack adds to the mysterious vibe.

As in the predecessor, everything revolves around the Mystery Stacks, and landing 3+ makes them nudge fully in place for a guaranteed ‘book of’ style win. The 10,000x potential can thus be cracked in all stages, but your chances increase when the mystery stacks become sticky in the bonus round. The 6x4 grid is larger than before, but the potential has been sliced significantly for whatever reason.

Mystery Mission to the Moon Slot Features

You can play with the Ante Bet feature turned on for a cost of 25 % more per spin, and this increases your bonus round chances by adding more scatter/wilds to the reel strips. In addition, your max win chances are increased from 1 in 1,778,410 to 1 in 1,216,101 when the Ante Bet option is turned on. The premium symbols pay between 15 and 500 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, while the low value rocks all pay 5x for the same.

You can land Mystery Stack Symbols on all 6 reels, and if you land 3 at the same time they are nudged fully in place.

The Wild Moon Symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, but it cannot substitute for the Mystery Stack symbols. The Wild Moon symbol can appear anywhere on the grid, and it pays the same as the top-tier symbol should you land a pure wilds win. The wild serves double duty as a scatter symbol as well.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 wild moon symbols at the same time, and this awards 8, 10, 12 or 14 free spins, respectively. All Mystery Stack symbols that land in the bonus round nudge fully in place, and become sticky for the duration of the feature.

The Bonus Buy option is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. You can pay 102x, 161x, 237x or 332x your stake to get the bonus round triggered by 3, 4, 5 or 6 wild moon scatters, respectively. You can also pay 200x your stake to get at least 3 triggering scatters. The Bonus Buy RTP ranges from 96.3 to 96.65 %, at least for the top-tier RTP version.

The 200 Spins Mystery Mission to the Moon Slot Experience

You get to see a mystery stack win in the base game, generated from 4 stacks fully nudged in place. We then trigger the bonus round via 3 scatters close to the 1-minute mark. The feature plays out for the remainder of the 2:18-minute highlights video, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We really enjoyed the retro futuristic cartoon visuals you get in Mystery Mission to the Moon, and the overall mysterious space exploration atmosphere will take you for a joyride for sure. It’s definitely a volatile joyride though, and this follow-up to Mystery Museum comes with an expanded grid with twice the number of paylines.

However, they have somehow ended up landing on 10,000x your stake, which is significantly lower than what’s on offer in the predecessor. The Ante Bet option seems like a good idea in this release, not least since it also increases your max win chances. However, how much your bonus round chances are actually increased is not specified. Overall, this is an excellent alternative to regular ‘book slots’, but the lower potential makes it less of an obvious alternative to the original.

Pros

• Nudging mystery stacks pay ‘book of’ style
• FS w/ sticky mystery stack symbols
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Larger grid but lower win cap than Mystery Museum
• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
