- A very fun slot with a unique and entertaining design
- Several features work well and tie in with the theme
- Has a lot of potential but needs higher-value symbols
Tractor Beam slot is a new game from Nolimitcity which has some very interesting features and really caught my eye. It has a really fun theme with aliens messing around with farms, and as you’ll see when I go on to discuss the features in details, they tie in with the theme really nicely. The design here is also really impressive. Yes, it’s simple but the graphics are great and the design of the symbols is fantastic; definitely top marks here from me. There are 5 reels with 3 rows and 20 paylines. All you need to do is get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols. These are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Jack, Queen, King or Ace (lowest value)
- Chicken
- Sheep
- Pig
- Cow (highest value)
There’s a wild symbol too which substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter symbol. These also have the additional benefit of never leaving the reels, remaining there to help you get some extra wins.

Tractor Beam Slot Bonuses and Features
Clone Attack! In keeping with the theme of the slot, this feature clones a randomly selected farm animal, every instance of them, and sends them back, enough of them so that they fill the entire reel. This can happen on up to 4 reels in total.
Beam ‘Em Up! It seems the aliens aren’t here just for fun as they need some materials to keep things going. That’s where the low-value symbols come up, and the scatter symbol, which will be beamed up and removed from the reels, allowing new symbols to fall in from above.
Abduction Spins. This is the main bonus of the game, triggered by landing 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels. For every win on these spins, the winning symbol, or symbols, will be beamed up by the aliens and removed for the rest of the free spins. This includes both high and low value symbols. Now you may be wondering what happens if all the symbols are beamed up? Well, wild symbols as I mentioned earlier cannot be beamed up, so if things go really well, these will be the only symbols left on the reels, but don’t expect this to happen all to often. Scatter symbols will also be beamed up, awarding one additional free spins for each one, but these can be returned to the reels. 3 scatter symbols will give you 7 free spins, 4 will give you 9 and 5 will give you 12.
Conclusion
Nolimitcity have done a pretty impressive job here with Tractor Beam slot. It’s fun and definitely different, with a few cool features that relate to the theme and can pay out fairly well. My main criticism is that the value of the symbols is quite low and if the wins could be higher, I think this slot would prove very popular. The base game features are good and trigger fairly often, and the main bonus is unique and can result in a lot of wilds. At the end of the day though, despite having some great gameplay, this slot just isn’t as good in terms of payouts as many of its competitors and that’s the most crucial part of any slot. I don’t want to put it down too much though as it still pays reasonably well and is certainly good fun, so maybe check it out and see what you think. You can also find some of their other slots here.
