interstellar travel, bending physics to your will, crossing light-years of empty space, and then deciding the best use of your evening is dragging some half-asleep farmer out of bed, poking around where you definitely weren’t invited, and dropping him in a cornfield with no trousers and a story nobody will believe.

While the AgroCulture slot from Relax Gaming substitutes the half-asleep farmer for a farm animal, my criticism of their tactics remains the same. Although, from the animals’ perspective, our behavior may not seem all that different.

To infinity and beyond

The ArgoCulture slot offers 1,024 ways to win spread across six reels. The slot offers betting as low as $0.10 a spin and tops out at $25 a spin. With a 10,000x max multiplier, AgroCulture can pay up to $250,000 when you’re playing at the max per spin.”

With medium volatility, the slot offers a balance between small, consistent wins and rarer big wins. Its expected RTP is 96.10%.

Abduction Wilds can appear on the four center reels and may land either completely or only partly in view. If one is only partially visible, it may be nudged further onto the reel, either partially or until the full wild symbol appears.

There are four Abduction Wild variants featuring the chicken, cow, sheep, and dog, which are among the game’s high-paying symbols. When an Abduction Wild is fully stacked, any corresponding high-paying symbols currently on the grid are transformed into the Alien, the slot’s highest-paying symbol.

Landing four or more scatter symbols will trigger the slot’s Mothership Bonus Decider. Once triggered, it will randomly award either the Abduction Bonus or the Beam ‘N’ Bank Bonus. Either feature can also be upgraded to its super bonus version.

During the Abduction Bonus, any Abduction Wild that appears is guaranteed to fill its reel. Each row added through a nudge increases the progressive global multiplier by 1x.

The global multiplier is only applied to a win when an Abduction Wild is active and contributes to the winning combination. During a round of the Super Abduction Bonus, this restriction is removed, with the global multiplier applying to every win regardless of whether an Abduction Wild is involved.

The number of free spins awarded will be determined by the number of scatter symbols you had to trigger it. Each scatter adds two free spins, meaning you can receive between 8 and 32 free spins depending on how many scatters land.

The Beam ‘N’ Bank Bonus uses the four middle reels for coins and blank positions. Coins can carry values ranging from 1x to 100x your bet. The outermost reels can land multipliers, Collectors, and blanks. A standard Collector gathers the value of all coins currently visible once before disappearing.

Persistent Collectors remain on the grid while the four middle reels move down by one position at a time. The Persistent Collector collects the available coins after each step, while new coins may appear, extending the Stepper sequence.

The Stepper mechanic continues until there are no more coins available to collect, at which point the Persistent Collector leaves the reels. Multipliers can also appear and increase all visible coin values by between 2x and 5x.

During a round of the Beam ‘N’ Bank Super Bonus, every coin has a minimum value of 5x your bet.

In addition to the standard trigger mechanic, the slot’s bonus round can also be purchased through the Super Charge mechanic.

Is the AgroCulture slot worth the smell of fertilizer?

What’s with AgroCulture as the name? It sounds like an agricultural trade show where everyone gets very excited about a new type of fertilizer. Thankfully, the slot itself is a lot more entertaining, mixing cartoon aliens, abducted livestock, nudging wilds, and coin collecting into a package with plenty of personality.

The features are not especially original, but the Abduction Wilds and Stepper mechanic give the AgroCulture slot enough of its own flavor to stand out. It looks good, plays well, and has a 10,000x max win lurking behind all the intergalactic cattle rustling. Not exactly a close encounter of the revolutionary kind, but a decent one nonetheless.

I give the AgroCulture slot an eight out of ten.

If you’re looking for a few other good Relaxing Gaming slots, I recommend trying out Hex and Money Train 4.
