Planets Power (Expanse Studio) – Review & Demo Play

Planets Power Slot Review

I’ve put plenty of spins through Planets Power from Expanse Studios, a space-themed slot with five reels and 10 betways, launched on 20.09.2022 with stakes from £0.10 to £10. The setup sticks to eight themed symbols, with seven regulars and a single special. Maths feels pretty balanced for a low risk level, so the ride is calm yet engaging. The studio pairs popular gameplay with neat artwork, keeping the focus on clean wins and short bursts of action rather than drawn-out features.

As a base game it holds attention even when nothing fires. I liked how spins still pay at a steady clip, and the moment wilds show up the screen steps up a gear. With two Suns landing, things move towards respins, while three of them push the experience into a different lane. That rhythm suits longer sessions, as you wait for those special pieces to land without the balance swinging like mad between dead patches and long animations.

From my sessions the slot delivers a strong gaming experience without forcing me to chase features every spin. Spins flow well, hits arrive often enough for a low volatility title with a 95.06% RTP, and the blend of regular pays with feature spikes makes sense. It feels like a tidy space adventure rather than a marathon grind, and it kept me going for just one more go more than a few times, which is usually the sign I’m in the right place.

Wild Symbol in Planets Power

The wild symbol is the Sun, and it can appear on all reels. It substitutes for other symbols, helping complete lines across the 10 betways. In practice it’s also the key to features. When two Suns land together, they hold for respins; hit three and you move to the Wheel with prizes. I found that wilds have decent line value as well, with three, four, or five of a kind paying x1, x5, and x100 respectively.

Respin Feature in Planets Power

Respin rounds start when two wild Suns land anywhere on the grid. Those wilds stick in place while the remaining positions spin again, creating extra looks at finishing lines or adding a third wild. The stickiness is what carries the value, since you get repeated rolls with the same anchors. I’ve had short series where the second respin brings in that third Sun, which then flips the session into the Wheel and keeps the tempo high.

Bonus Wheel in Planets Power

Three wild Suns open the bonus wheel with prizes. The feature uses a multi-level Wheel Bonus, where you can move through three wheels that step up the rewards. It’s straightforward to read, and the jump between levels gives each spin a bit of tension. I’ve seen mid-tier returns on the first level and better hits after moving up, which suits a low risk level slot that still wants to spice up the stream of base hits.

Triggering it off respins keeps the flow tidy. Two Suns stick, you chase the third, and when it drops the whole session shifts gear without a long pause. I liked that the wheel outcome feels clear, with prizes laid out and the level escalation obvious. It’s not a marathon bonus; it fires, pays, and puts you back into spins quickly, which works well when you’re running lower stakes and prefer more frequent feature touches.

Planets Power Symbols and Paytable

Planets Power sticks with eight symbols. Seven are regular icons that fill the lines, topped by a high payer that reaches x10 for five of a kind, with x2 for four and x0.8 for three. Mid-tier sets sit around x5 or x2.5 for five, often with x1 for four and x0.5 for three. The lower end clusters around x1.2 and x0.7 for five, sliding to x0.7 or x0.5 for four, and x0.3 or x0.2 for three.

The Sun wild stands apart with stronger line value. Hitting three, four, or five wilds pays x1, x5, and x100, which means even without a feature trigger you can land solid outcomes when Suns link. In my sessions the regular packs did most of the work, with the occasional higher-line burst, while wild hits either closed lines or nudged me towards respins and the wheel. It’s a tidy paytable that matches the low risk behaviour noted in the game metrics.
