Star Trek: Against All Odds is a stellar 5-reel max 720-pay line slot from IGT. There have of course been more iterations of Star Trek than there are planets in our solar system, but this game’s theme is based on the big screen re-boot version of Star Trek that first popped out of a wormhole in 2009, starring Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and the late Leonard Nimoy as Spock as well.
This game has the unique feature of having a Vulcan-busting 720 possible pay lines. This is achieved via the reels being arranged in a 3-4-5-4-3 ‘honeycomb’ pattern, so wins can occur in (3x4x5x4x3=) 720 different ways. Wins also pay both left to right and right to left.

Star Trek: Against All Odds Gameplay and Symbols
The symbols in this game are all characters and items from the 2009 Star Trek film, although both Sulu and Scotty seems to be on an away mission. Weapons and space ships complete the array of symbols, which also includes one of the those nasty scorpion-thing brain-twisting beasties first encountered by Chekov in ‘The Wrath of Khan’.
All 720 possible pay lines are in play at all times. In another unique twist to this game, any win is multiplied by any extra symbols you receive in addition to your winning line. For example, if you land a line of three phasers, and the reels contain five symbols, your win is tripled.
You can choose your coin size from 0.01 to 5.00, but because of the handsome number of pay lines, your coin size is always multiplied by sixty to obtain your final wager. This gives the lowest wager as 0.60 and the highest as 30.00.
The scorpion-beastie, phaser and photon pistol are the lowest payouts at 5x for three of them. The jackpot payout is for five Federation symbols at 1,000x.
Star Trek: Against All Odds Bonus Features
Wild Symbol: The wild symbol comes stacked on the central three reels and substitutes for all other symbols aside from the scatter and ‘Defender Bonus’ symbols. Occasionally, bonus wild symbols will energize on the reels, turning two to five symbols on the three middle reels wild.
Scatter Symbol: The ‘red matter’ scatter symbol can appear anywhere on the reels to win you a cash payout. Any three will win you 3x your bet-per-line, four earn 20x and if you’re lucky enough to land five it’s a 100x bonus.
Defender Bonus Game: If you land at least five Enterprise Defender symbols anywhere on the reels, you are though to the bonus game. Here you are launched into an epic space battle where you are required to protect Spock’s ship from enemy missiles. You need to score at least 12,000 points to earn Commander status (and a possible win up to 15,000x) and 14,000 points to earn the Captain rank (22,500x).
Once your battle is over, you get to choose one of nine spinning wheels. The higher your rank, the more advantageous the reels will be for you. The reels contain prize multipliers and re-spin chances, and you keep collecting until the round is over. The maximum you can win is 22,500x your triggering bet.
Star Trek: Against All Odds Conclusion
Star Trek: Against All Odds truly is a great game, for both Trekkies and people with lives. There are plenty of adventurous features, none more so than the defender bonus where – to all intents and purposes – you get to play ‘Space Invaders’ for cash.
This is one online slot you should boldly play, and plenty of people have played it before. A few spins should be enough to energize anyone, and the bonus features make this game, as Spock would no doubt say, “fascinating”.
