As the name suggests, Cosmic Quest II is the second cosmically themed slot from Rival Gaming. The 5 reel, 20 pay line format is the same as the first game but the reels and features have been given a whole new look. The rather generous $12,500 also makes a return, we took a look to see if it can live up to the original Cosmic Quest slot. ...

I chose “Cosmic Quest II -Mystery Planets”, because the name was beautiful and I said myself that it is not possible to not offer something new and beautiful. And I was right about one thing: the slot is very nice “drawn” with dozens of lights that flash and also flashing symbols when they are aligned. Each planet has its “charm” here.

What I did not like about this slot was that I came across another one of the dozens of Rival slots that pay little or nothing. I said myself: you have not what to do, like this one here are all the games, and I played willy-nilly about 250-300 spins even after the first 50 spins I knew about everything about the game. These Rival slots where after the first 100 spins you lose 15-18 Euros have a big flaw: they pay very little for all “3 of a kind” combinations and so much for “5 of a kind”. That is, a winning for bet of 20 cents happens on average once every 3 spins and is about 2.5 cents. And to have “5 of a kind” that give a win of about 2-5 Euro, you have to play a good 50-100 spins. And in about the same “style” pay 2/3 of the slots here in Rival. Yes, some games go even further: you do not win anything in the actual spins and the only earnings you are getting are from the bonus (I will never forget that, for example playing “A Day at the derby” 80% of the payouts value was given just by the bonus game.) In these slots you cannot catch a screen shot, because here there is no Big Win.

To realize how stingy are these slots, from a series of 35 Free Spins (retriggered once) I came out with exactly 95 cents! And I say that I was lucky because once it happened that from the 10 Free Spins I did not won a thing! Zero, nema, nada, nix, you can say whatever, so far this happened to me just once (to went out from Free Spins with zero wins).

So in spite of its brilliance and alert spins, something else you cannot find here. This is another one of those weak Rival games that it is better to stay away from.
