Three Games in One
 The Star Trek Slot Machine
The Star Trek machine is three games in one. The games include “Explore New Worlds,” “The Trouble with Tribbles” and “Trek Though Time.” All three games are based on episodes from the original television series. Each game has its own unique set of bonus events and screens but there are some features that are common to all three games.

All Star Trek games are 5-reel, 25 line video slots, and some machines are multi-denomination from one cent to 50 cents per credit. You also have the option of making an additional 10 credit bet that will make you eligible for the “Win Warp Bonus Feature.” At the end of any winning spin, the player may randomly receive one of four Win Warp bonus features that will multiply all winning combinations.

Each game has a bonus feature that is triggered by the game symbols and when activated it gives the player a choice between a free spin bonus or the pick an item bonus. Each game also has three progressive jackpot levels that can be won by lining up three, four or five jackpot symbols.

Although there are three games within the machine, a new player can only play the Explore New World game. In order to play the other two games you have to “unlock” them by winning medals during your playing session. Each time you hit one of the special features or make I to the bonus screen you earn a medal. Each game will tell you how many medals you need to advance to the next game. Once you earn enough to unlock the other games you can switch between the games at your leisure. The Star Trek game is unique because it uses WMS Gaming’s Adaptive Technology that lets you “save” your game from one playing session to the next so you can keep the medals you have earned without having to start over each time you play.
