The best futuristic online slots to play, through outer space and beyond
Whether the future will feature deeps-space colonies, lifelike holograms, or hyper-intelligent apes, these futuristic online slots dare to explore what the future may look like with exciting and whimsical themes that venture into outer space and far beyond.
Whether players want something intense and otherworldly or lighthearted and full of futuristic fun, these slots can provide a lot of entertainment that takes bettors beyond the confines of present-day Earth.
Space Miners
Imagine a future where we travel to distant asteroids to gather gold, gems, and precious metals. That’s the vision behind Space Miners, which has earthlings hiring aliens to do the dirty work. What sets Space Miners apart from other futuristic online slots is its bevy of fun animations, including a pretty entertaining intro, as well some very interesting features.
The general strategy in Space Miners is to remove symbol blockers, which can be done by aligning a winning symbol adjacent to its blockers to trigger a re-spin. This also increases the amount of active positions, which can reach a max of 6×10 with 1 million ways to win. Destroying the blockers also activates power-ups, which further increase players’ chances of a winning spin.
UFO bonus scatters are another fun addition, with three-plus in the same cascading sequence triggering a bonus round. This comes with six free spins plus two more for each scatter. In this bonus game, blockers are permanently destroyed when removed, increasing win possibilities even further.
Astro Newts Megaways
This futuristic (and slimy) slot uses cascading reels to create more lucky spins as play progresses. This is a medium-high volatility slot with an RTP at arond 96% and a solid 117,649 ways to win. This makes Astro Newts feel a little intense during play, but this is off-set by its cartoon style and some really fun animations. It’s lighthearted and full of fun surprises.

Get winning combos by landing three or more matching symbols, including standards that are made to look like alien sludge, premiums in the form of asteroids, laser guns, and far-out aliens. A tumbling feature makes each spin feel unpredictable and even chaotic. You may encounter an astronaut pig who can trigger the Pig on the Moon feature, awarding players with two expanding wild symbols or four standard wilds.
Astro Newts doesn’t take itself too seriously even though there is serious winning potential here, unquestionably placing it among the best futuristic online slots to play.
Wild Portals Megaways
Nobody can really tell exactly where this slot takes place, but that’s part of the fun. A portal has definitely taken the player somewhere far away and well into the future, but what exactly is going on? No matter the answer, players will feel ready to party with all the bright lights and striking colors blaring behind this game’s grid.

The volatility in this unknown world is high, meaning there can be a lot of chaos to go along with some big wins. The jackpot can reach up to 29,000x the starting bet and there are 117,648 ways to win here thanks to Megaways’ use of the cascading feature, although Wild Portals handles this a little differently than do many slots. The cascading component won’t appear in the base game, but the free spins can still lead to some big earnings thanks to multipliers maintaining their value from one free spin to the next.
Samurai
This mobile-focused online slot brings players to a futuristic cyberpunk world with mind-bending urban landscapes and a sword-wielding, winged fairy hologram. She will swipe her sword every time players get a winning spin. These winning animations are a lot of fun and ably carry the game’s theme.

The main bonus feature in Samurai is the Free Game, as players able to earn up to 12 Free Games depending on how many matching scatter symbols they discover. Each win during the Free Game section earns a re-spin, and this can technically be triggered indefinitely. Samurai is a low-volatility game with a high hit rate, so it stays quite exciting throughout most play sessions.
Planet of the Apes
The Planet of the Apes movie series began in 1968 and is still ongoing today, depicting what the world might look and feel like if genetically altered apes started to slowly take over the planet. This game brings the concept to online slots with its futuristic theming, and with an RTP of 96.33% so humans will see some rewards despite the rule of the featured apes.
The Planet of the Apes slot starts with a sequence taken right out of the film series, and the game features the Hollywood movie’s soundtrack, so it’s quite the appealing experience for players right from the start. It’s definitely a slot that can draw bettors in, although it can feel a bit overwhelming at first. Symbols include low-paying numbers and letters, mid-tier hits featuring human characters from the films, and the most rewarding symbols that feature apes, including Rocket and Ceasar.
There are two sides to the grid, the Rise side and Dawn side. The two sides each have a wild symbol with a different color as well as different scatter symbols in the form of apes taken from the film. Scatters are what lead to free spins here, but both sides deal with these a different way, adding some fun variety to the Planet of the Apes slot.
