Area 51, UFOs and one very unlucky cow collide in the latest sci-fi comedy slot
Something strange is happening in the desert. Close Encounters has landed at CryptoSlots.com and Slotland, bringing UFOs, secret agents, alien energy and one unfortunate cow to the reels.
The new 4-reel, 14-payline slot takes players to an Area 51-inspired military base, where flying saucers light up the night sky and chaos is never far away. With varying symbol sizes and bets ranging from $0.28 to $7, Close Encounters combines classic slot mechanics with a tongue-in-cheek alien adventure.
A secret agent takes on the role of the Wild and can transform into an Explosive Wild, multiplying onto adjacent symbols before wins are calculated. On reel four, the Double Wild, featuring two agents, has the potential to double winning paylines.
The Mystery Scatter, disguised as a classified Pentagon file, can reveal either a random Coin Win or a Win Multiplier. Meanwhile, landing three UFO Pick Me scatters across reels 1–3 activates a bonus feature with three opportunities to uncover coin prizes.
From glowing alien energy and classified files to UFO sightings and the obligatory flying saucer abducting a cow, Close Encounters leans into its playful Area 51 theme from start to finish.
The game will also be featured at WinADay, where players can take advantage of a launch promotion.
The CryptoSlots version is also VR-friendly, adding Close Encounters to the casino’s growing library of more than 80 VR-friendly games and offering players an even more immersive way to experience its extraterrestrial setting.
