Aliens Among Us Slot — Game Overview

Aliens Among Us is a video slot developed by Hacksaw Gaming. It runs on a 6-reel, 5-row grid with 19 fixed paylines. Wins are formed by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The betting range runs from €0.10 to €50 per spin, and the maximum win is capped at 15,000x the stake.

Symbols and Paytable

The low-paying symbols are standard card royals (10 through A) rendered in a grey, space-styled font. The high-paying symbols are a cap, an FBI badge, a ray gun, a spike bat, and a magnet gun. Landing six of the same low-pay symbol pays between 3x and 10x the bet; six matching high-pay symbols pay between 15x and 50x the bet.

The Wild symbol is the Alien symbol, which appears in four colors — blue, red, yellow, and green — each assigned to one of the four middle reels (reels 2, 3, 4, and 5). The Scatter symbol is marked "FS" and triggers the bonus games when three or more land simultaneously.

Core Mechanics

Alien Wild Multipliers and Expanding Alien Reels

Each of the four Alien symbols acts as a Wild Multiplier, substituting for all paying symbols and carrying a multiplier value of up to 200x. When one or more Alien symbols contribute to the same winning combination, their multiplier values are added together before being applied to the win. When an Alien symbol is part of a winning combination, it expands to fill its entire assigned reel, turning it into an Expanding Alien Reel — a full wild reel. Multiplier values increase from left to right across the grid, meaning Aliens landing on reels 4 and 5 carry higher multiplier potential than those on reels 2 and 3.

Bonus Features and Free Spins

Beam Me Up Free Spins

Landing three FS Scatter symbols on reels 2 through 5 simultaneously triggers 10 Beam Me Up free spins. During this round, the frequency of Alien symbol appearances is elevated compared to the base game. Landing two or three additional Scatter symbols during the round awards two or four extra spins respectively.

Farmageddon Free Spins

Landing four FS Scatter symbols triggers 10 Farmageddon free spins, the higher-tier bonus round. In this mode, all four Alien symbols are active from the start and can expand on any of the four middle reels regardless of their assigned color. Once an Alien symbol is activated during Farmageddon, it remains active for the remainder of the round. The round can retrigger in the same way as Beam Me Up.
