Little Green Men Slot Machines
Picture it–a bright light shines in through your bedroom window. You pull back the blinds to see a disc hovering in mid-air over your backyard. A little green man descends on a beam of light. That’s right, an alien invasion.
Little Green Men is a video slot machine game that takes as its theme the invasion of Earth by aliens. All things UFO and aliens are popular–there’s something uniquely American about UFO invasion stories–like apple pie and fireworks. AC Coin and Slots has put out a cool alien-themed slot machine with a wide range of bet amounts.
The concept of aliens as “little green men” has been with us as long as science fiction–aliens are usually described as smallish humanoid creatures with green skin and big eyes. The first published use of the phrase comes from an Edgar Rice Burroughs story in 1906, and several newspaper accounts of alien sightings in the early 20th century also print that aliens are “little green men.” Since then, use of the term has increased exponentially to the point that most people assume aliens are small and green.
Speaking of green, the Little Green Men slot machine is designed to draw slot gamblers from all walks of life. You can
play from just a few nickels up to several hundreds dollars per spin.
Little Green Men Slot Machine Details
Little Green Men slots are five reel machines with twenty paylines. If you want, you can play a maximum of 100 coins per spin, so if you want to try your luck at higher wagers, you can plunk hundreds of dollars per spin into the slot. A flexible “wager per spin” option means that more people can play.
Like most video slot machines, you don’t have to bet the absolute maximum amount to qualify for the jackpot. Since the maximum bet is five coins per line, you can wager five coins on all twenty paylines, or a total of 100 coins. Instead, play just one coin on each of the twenty different paylines to qualify for the top prize.
Who Is Purple Flash?
The star of the show on Little Green Men slots is an alien named ”Purple Flash.” He’s the main character and the image you’ll get sick of staring at first. Purple Flash has three eyes and is, indeed, a “little green man” flying around in a convertible UFO. Though you’ll get sick of Purple Flash’s face, when he shows up you can win big money. Purple Flash flies in in his purple UFO with the top down, and starts zapping the symbols on your reels, immediately changing them into super valuable wild symbols. If you match three symbols, including wilds, you win a special bonus.
Little Green Men Slots Bonus Game
When you match three symbols after Purple Flash zaps your reels, you initiate the Little Green Men bonus game. Two UFOs will pop up, one on the left and one on the right. Shoot the right UFO and you’ll earn a bonus prize. When you shoot the right UFO, you can keep shooting until you get it wrong, and the bonuses start to rack up. Keep winning bonus money by continuing to zap the correct UFO.
Other Little Green Men Slots
Because Little Green Men is a super popular slot machine, IGT has acquired the rights and is planning or has already released a few new versions. Little Green Men Jr. is an updated version of the game that expands on the original by adding a bonus round and a new character–Purple Flash, Jr.
Another version of Little Green Men that’s already on casino floors is Little Green Men Family Reunion. I’m not sure why IGT thinks people are interested in seeing Purple Flash and all his alien relatives, but apparently they are–Family Reunion is even more popular than the original Little Green Men. Family Reunion features two new bonus games, one with a wild symbol feature and another with up to five stages of bonus cash winnings, based on the “family reunion” theme and using the interface of a family photo album featuring lots of silly alien photos.
