Moonshot Slot Review

Moonshot: Slot Overview

I walked into Moonshot expecting rockets and astronauts, got dumped in a misty countryside tea party with masked villagers instead. The slot sits on a wooden 5x4 frame with 1,024 ways, banjo-style folk music and those strange masks staring back at you. It feels half Slavic festival, half psychedelic picnic, and that odd vibe actually grew on me after a few sessions.

Behind the odd theme, Moonshot is much simpler than it looks. You spin five reels, aim for long ways wins, and wait for masks and Golden Mask symbols to do their thing. Standard wins keep the balance ticking over, while the game really wakes up when golden multipliers hit or the coin bag scatters line up to open the free spins sequence.

Moonshot Slot Information

Moonshot runs on a 5x4 layout with 1,024 winning ways, and I had no trouble switching between mobile and desktop. Bets start at 20p and go up to 100 quid per spin, with a fixed 20x stake multiplier working in the background. You tweak bet level and coin value through the plus and minus controls, then hammer Spin and let those rapid reels rip.

Wins land when three or more matching symbols hit on consecutive reels from the left, apart from the top mask which already pays from two. There is no paylines menu to fiddle with, as the ways system covers every possible left-to-right combination. The information button opens the paytable and rules, and the settings menu handles sound, quick spin options and other small tweaks.

Moonshot Symbols and Paytable

Symbol-wise, Moonshot sticks to its strange farm-ritual mood. On the reels you get fruits, a tea cup, flasks and those eerie masks. Low pays are the 10, J, Q, K and A ranks plus the cup, while higher pays are the flask, blueberries, plums, cherries and the big masked character. Every regular symbol apart from that top mask needs at least three on adjacent reels to pay.

On the numbers side, 10 and J pay 0.2x, 0.5x and 1x your stake for three to five of a kind. Q and K are worth 0.3x, 0.7x and 1.2x, while A and the tea cup give 0.5x, 1x and 1.5x. Flask and blueberries award 0.8x, 1.5x and 2.5x, plums and cherries pay 1x, 2x and 3x, and the masked character hits 0.5x, 1.5x, 3x and 4x.

Wild symbols land on reels two to five, stepping in for all regular icons to finish or improve ways wins. Golden Mask symbols are a special kind of wild, appearing on reels two to five and substituting only for the top mask. They come with one, two or three small masks printed on them, giving multipliers of 1x, 2x or 3x on any win that features the premium mask. Coin bag scatters trigger bonuses.

Moonshot: Slot Features

The core feature in Moonshot is that Golden Mask wild system. When these special masks land, they spice up wins with the premium mask symbol. One mask on the golden tile gives a 1x multiplier, two give 2x and three give 3x, applied to every winning combination that includes the character mask. I have seen base game hits jump from modest to respectable purely off a well-timed golden stack.

Free spins arrive when three, four or five coin bag scatters hit, awarding 10, 15 or 20 spins. During the round all masks, including golden ones, are collected in a bottle beside the reels, and every batch of 40 upgrades the level. Level one allows 1x, 2x or 3x golden multipliers, level two sticks to 2x or 3x with three extra spins, and level three locks in 3x plus another three games. Extra scatters can add 5 to 20 more spins, and the feature can be bought for 80x stake in some markets.

RTP & Volatility in Moonshot

From a stats angle, Moonshot is very much a high volatility Pragmatic job with a listed RTP of 96.50 percent on the best setting. The hit rate feels low in the long run, so I treat it as a slot where patience is key and long cold patches are part of the deal. Max win is capped at 5,000x stake, which is decent yet not outrageous for a game in this risk bracket.

Moonshot: Slot Verdict

I came away from Moonshot slightly torn. The theme is bonkers, with masked villagers sipping suspicious tea and dancing through bonus triggers, yet I kind of enjoyed how odd it all felt. Mechanically it is very straightforward, almost a re-skin of a familiar progressive mask concept, but the golden multipliers and levelled free spins can still throw serious hits. For me it is worth a punt when I fancy something weird and volatile.
