Free demo · no real money · no deposit

For entertainment only — no real money, no prizes, no cash-out.

Space Wars is a retro sci-fi video slot from NetEnt, built around a cast of cartoon aliens drifting across a 5x4 grid of 40 fixed ways to win. On this page you can try Space Wars as a free demo with virtual credits only, so you can see how its cloning respins behave without any real money involved.

Game mechanics

5 reels by 4 rows with 40 fixed ways to win, so every line is active on each spin of the demo.

Cloning Pod Respins: every win awards a respin, and the winning symbols are cloned and returned to the reels as stacks.

Wild symbols land only on reels 2 and 4, frequently arriving in stacks.

Regular symbols also appear stacked, which is what makes the cloning respins meaningful.

There is no free spins round in Space Wars - the respin mechanic carries the whole game.

Published RTP of 96.75% with medium volatility, giving a steadier demo session than a high-variance title.

Features

  • Cloning Pod Respins. Any winning spin triggers a respin. The winning symbols are collected into a cloning pod at the side of the screen and returned to the reels as stacks for the respin, giving that symbol a bigger presence on the grid.
  • Wilds on reels 2 and 4. Wild symbols appear only on the second and fourth reels, often in stacks, and stand in for other symbols to help complete wins across the 40 ways.
  • Stacked alien symbols. The regular alien characters arrive in stacks on the reels, so a single well-placed stack can cover several rows at once and feed into a respin.
  • 40 fixed ways to win. All 40 ways stay active on every spin, so there are no line settings to adjust - you simply pick a stake level in the demo and spin.
