About the Game

Best Strategy Game Astronaut

Prize Ladder And Symbols

This game has only one reel, on which three types of symbols can appear: Green Crystal, Red Crystal and Golden Shield. The game also has a paytable consisting of 20 stages. The goal of the game is to climb as high as possible on the paytable by collecting Green Crystals.

Green Crystal

Each green crystal that lands will allow you to move up one step on the paytable. After landing a green crystal, you can choose to Continue, Take Half or Collect. Continue – Stay in the game and continue playing with 100% of your potential winnings. Take Half – Withdraw 50% of your potential winnings and continue playing the game round with the remaining 50%. Halving is only available if your current accumulated winnings are equal to or greater than 1.0 of the currency you are playing in. Collect – Withdraw all your winnings and end the current game round. The more green crystals that land, the greater your chances of landing a red crystal. The chances of landing a green or red crystal are displayed as a percentage above the reel. The displayed chance of landing a green crystal also applies to the gold shield. Percentages are rounded to 1 decimal place.

Red Crystal

If you do not have an active Gold Shield when a Red Crystal lands, the current round of play ends, you lose any accumulated winnings that have not been paid out, and you start from the bottom of the prize ladder. If you have an active Gold Shield, landing a Red Crystal will destroy the shield and increase the prizes further up the ladder. You will then be able to choose again: Continue, Take Half, or Take from the Level Reached.

Golden Shield

When the Golden Shield lands, a shield is activated that protects you from the Red Crystal. The Golden Shield starts the automatic spins, where after the Green Crystals land, no decisions are made because you have protection and cannot lose the prize. After the Golden Shield is destroyed by the Red Crystal, the automatic spins stop and you can choose your next actions again.

Prize Ladder Levels And Prizes

Ladder prizes are bet multipliers. The first Red Crystal you hit after activating the Golden Shield during a game round increases your multipliers to Advanced, and these increases apply to all Ladder levels not yet reached. The Ladder levels and their corresponding prizes in the paytable are:

Some values in the paytable may be rounded to two decimal places if the result based on the current bet would result in a value with three or more decimal places. When dividing by two, if the result would result in a value with three or more decimal places, the game will follow the rounding to half strategy.

For example: the number 0.676 will result in 0.68. The number 0.674 will result in 0.67.
If a value is rounded exactly to half, it will be rounded up.
For example: 0.675 will result in 0.68.

Best Gamble Strategy

To determine the optimal strategy for this game, we need to break the round down into 3 possible scenarios:

1. You did not get a Golden Shield:

If you did not get a Golden Shield, the best time to cash out is after 9 Green Crystals. If you decided not to follow the optimal strategies and chose Continue after the 9th Green Crystal, the best time to continue choosing Continue and then Claim after the 12th Green Crystal. If you chose to Continue again after the 12th Green Crystal, the optimal strategy to play after each subsequent Green Crystal until the very end is Claim.

2. You have already got a Golden Shield and it was just broken:

The choice between Claim and Continue immediately after the Golden Shield is deactivated depends on the number of Green Crystals remaining, which is indicated above the reel:

• 19 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 18 Green Crystals – Collect.
• 17 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 16 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 15 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 14 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 13 Green Crystals – Collect.
• 12 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 11 Green Crystals – Collect.
• 10 Green Crystals – Collect.
• 9 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 8 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 7 Green Crystals – Collect.
• 6 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 5 Green Crystals – Continue.
• 4 Green Crystals – Collect.
• 3 Green Crystals – Collect.
• 2 Green Crystals – Collect.
• 1 Green Crystal – Collect

3. You got a Golden Shield and after it was destroyed you chose Continue and got a Green Crystal:

The best strategy is to collect after a maximum of one Continue choice that resulted in a Green Crystal after the Golden Shield was destroyed.

The RTP below is only achievable when using the optimal Risk Strategy.
