Theme and Design

Whilst alien themed free slots are not unique this slot offers a completely new spin on the genre by trying to provide the answer to global mysteries such as why when you put a pair of socks in a washing machine there is only ever one that makes it back out. Where that sock goes nobody knows!
This slot has a background screen that comprises of a room used in the dead of the night by a conspiracist. There are lamps, shelves, and desks and a pinboard that is made up of crimes and suspects plus a mountain of odd socks! The symbols unsurprisingly are made up of four alien characters each of which are different colours and offer different power ups. The symbols are fully animated which makes them stand out.

Unfortunately, the flashing animations combined with the haunting music does make way for some serious lagging if you are playing on a low powered device. However, the animations can be sped up, but they cannot be stopped completely, therefore if you play with a lower powdered device you may struggle to load the games to its complete impressive quality.

Betting & Gaming Statistics

When the game loads up the main reel screen complete with the five reels and three rows. Under the screen you will find the slim, black dashboard where the buttons and information are contained to enable you to play with the best possible chances of winning.

On the left of the dashboard there is an information button which provides the menu of options, this is then followed by the current credit balance you have. There is the bet adjuster next to this where you can see the amount you are currently spending, and this is flanked by the +/- buttons. This is what you use to set your bet, the minimum of which is 10p per spin up to a maximum of £500 per spin which will make this slot appealing to both beginners but particularly high rollers.

In the centre of the dashboard is a large spin button and if you click and hold the spin button down together the auto spins feature comes into play and this is completely adjustable. When the main button is updated with any of your wins the total will be shown whenever you achieve a winning combination of symbols. On the right of your screen there are four smaller buttons which can speed up the animations, turn the sound up or down, access the settings and the button that can expand and fill your entire screen.

The return to player on offer in ET Lost Socks from Evoplay is within the average which is 96.5%. This means that you stand to win 96.5% of your bets through an over extended time of play, therefore if you bet 100 credits you can expect to win back an average of 96.5. This slot is classed as a medium volatility slot therefore you will score frequent wins of various amounts, games with a lower volatility have even more frequent wins but the rewards are far smaller, whereas slots with a higher volatility provide you with the opportunity to land awesome rewards whilst you are playing but these will be few and far between. Therefore, the fact this slot takes the middle ground means you could land several results with differing prizes.

Symbols & How to Win

When it comes to winning you need to land three or more of the same symbols running from left to right across any of the 21 fixed pay lines that are in play. There are four different coloured alien symbols complete with corresponding colours of space gem. The values starting from lowest to high are the purple space gem which will reward you with 0.2x your stake for landing 3, 1x your stake for landing 4, and 5x your stake when you land 5. Next up is the green space gem which will reward you with 0.2x your stake for landing 3, 1.2x your stake for landing 4, and 6x your stake when you land 5. The blue space gem will award 0.4x your stake for landing 3, 2x your stake for landing 4, and 7x your stake when you land 5, with the final red space gem which will award you with you with 0.4x your stake for landing 3, 2x your stake for landing 4, and 8x your stake when you land 5.

Then there is the alien symbols that are made up of the purple aliens which will reward you with 1x your stake for landing 3, 4x your stake for landing 4, and 20x your stake when you land 5, this is followed by the green aliens which will reward you with 1.5x your stake for landing 3, 4x your stake for landing 4, and 30x your stake when you land 5. The blue alien rewards you with 2x your stake for landing 3, 8x your stake for landing 4, and 40x your stake when you land 5 and finally there is the red alien which will reward you with 2.5x your stake for landing 3, 10x your stake for landing 4, and 50x your stake when you land 5.
The wild is made up of one lonely sock and can substitute for all the symbols apart from the scatter to create winning combinations. The UFO is the scatter and will reward you with 10 free spins and a power-up once you have landed it on your reels three times.

Features

When you get lucky and land the UFO three or more times on your reels the free spin game becomes active and you are awarded with 10 free spins. However, prior to the free spins starting you will be rewarded with one random ET powers and there are four in total which all have a different effect on how the game will pan out.
If you land the purple ET every wild that you land will activate the re-spins and with every re-spin the wild moves up one position, the re-spins then continue all the time you have at least one wild on your screen. Land the green ET and every wild that appears on your reels will expand so that the whole reel is covered. The blue ET and every ET that lands on your reels are replaced with the wild. Finally, landing the red ET will see all the wilds that appear remain stuck in place throughout the entire free spins game.

Conclusion

Although this is a strange theme it is expertly carried out and a great deal of fun to play. There is a good bet range which will see the slot appeal to a wide audience and enough features and wins to keep players returning to play again and again.
