Introduction to Invaders Blitz
Invaders Blitz is a casino slot from Light & Wonder that follows up on the alien-invading Invaders Takeover, released about a year earlier. We’re transported back to the same setting, which seems to be inside a spaceship looking out at a black universe with white stars. The earth was under attack in the first release, threatened by alien cows, and the cows are back in this release. They do, in fact, play an ever bigger part now, appearing as Cash Cows, worth up to 1,000x the bet. The cows can be collected by different Collect Symbols that trigger the Lightning Collect Feature. Light & Wonder has also prepared two types of Free Spin features that you can choose from. Are you going for the Symbol Eliminator Free Spins or the more volatile Cow Collect Free Spins?
If you want to get a grip of the alien cows before heading to your online casino, you can try the game in the free demo at the top of this page.
Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Invaders Blitz is a video slot from Light & Wonder featuring 6 reels, 4 rows, and 4,096 ways to win. The betting range starts at a Min.bet of 0.1 and goes up to a Max.bet of 20. The RTP is set by default at 96%, though versions with 94%, 92%, and 90% are also available. With medium volatility, the game offers a max win of 11,000x the bet.
The background of Invader Blitz is a black space with stars. In front of it are the six reels with a green frame, and on top of each one is a spaceship. To the left of the reels is a tank containing a cow, and the game’s logo sits in the upper right corner. Kind of quirky music plays when you start spinning the reels, and wins are made by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left. You can play Invader Blitz on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Invaders Blitz are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, which award between 0.8x and 1.6x the bet for wins of six matching symbols. The higher-paying symbols are red planet, space gun, alien, mad scientist, and the game’s logo, delivering payouts ranging from 3x to 8x the bet for a 6-of-a-kind combination. Additionally, the Wild Symbol can substitute for all regular-paying symbols, but not the Cash Cows, Collect, or Bonus Symbols.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Invaders Blitz?
You can win up to 11,000x the bet.
What features are available in the slot Invaders Blitz?
The features are Wild Symbol, Cash Cow, Lightning Collect, Cowtainer Meter, and Free Spins.
Wild Symbol
The Wild Symbol is a space ship that substitutes all regular-paying symbols in making winning combinations. It doesn’t substitute the Black Cash Cow, Brown Cash Cow, Pink Cash Cow, Normal Collect, Respin Collect, Multiplier Collect, and Bonus Symbols.
The Wild can appear on all reels except the first one to the left, and it carries a 2x multiplier in the Symbol Eliminator Free Spins.
Cash Cow
Cash Cow symbols can appear on all reels, except during Symbol Eliminator Free Spins. The Black Cash Cow is worth between 0.5x and 20x the bet, while the Brown Cow pays between 4x and 100x. The Pink Cow is the most valuable, paying between 8x and 1,000x the bet.
You can collect Cash Cow symbols by landing any Normal Collect, Respin Collect, or Multiplier Collect symbol. If a Cash Cow symbol lands together with any Lightning Collect symbol, its value is paid instantly. When no Lightning Collect symbols are on the reels, Cash Cow symbols may be randomly beamed up and added to the Cowtainer Meter.
Lightning Collect
One Lightning Collect symbol can land on reels 1 and 6 in both the base game and Cow Collect Free Spins. The Lightning Collect symbols come in three types: Normal Collect, Respin Collect, and Multiplier Collect.
If a Respin Collect lands together with any Lightning Collect symbols, the Respin Collect activates first and triggers its respin. After all respins are finished, the Lightning Collect symbols activate and collect all Cash Cow symbols, starting with the symbol on reel 1.
Normal Collect symbols gather the value of all Cash Cow symbols on the reels and award the total amount to the player. Respin Collect symbols trigger a respin where all Lightning Collect and Cash Cow symbols stay locked in place. After the respin ends, the Respin Collect works like a Normal Collect. If three or more Bonus symbols land during the respin, they stay in place until the respin finishes, and then the Free Spins Feature Picker is triggered.
Multiplier Collect symbols multiply the total value of all collected Cash Cow symbols before paying out the win. Possible multipliers are x2 and x3, plus either x4 in the base game or x5 during Cow Collect Free Spins.
Cowtainer Meter
If a Cash Cow Symbol lands but none of the Collect Symbols appear, it will be collected by the Cowtainer Meter. The meter increases for every Cash Cow collected, displaying the total value of collected cows.
A Bonus Wheel will trigger when the Cowtainer Meter reaches 75 or more, awarding a percentage of between 1% and 100% of the meter’s value. When the spin is over, the Cowtainer Meter will refill with a value of 10% of the triggered value. If the Bonus Wheel and Free Spins are triggered on the same spin, the Bonus Wheel will play out first.
Free Spins
The Bonus Symbol can appear on all reels. Landing 3 or more anywhere on the grid triggers the Free Spins Feature Picker, which lets you choose between one of the two Free Spins features. You will get 2, 4, 6, or 9 Cow Collect Free Spins or 8, 12, 16, or 20 Symbol Eliminator Free Spins for 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus Symbols.
Cow Collect Free Spins
This feature guarantees to land at least 1 Lightning Collect Symbol on every spin. The Cow Collect reels will only contain Lightning Collect Symbols, Cash Cow Symbols, or empty positions. Landing 2 Lightning Collect Symbols awards an extra spin.
Symbol Eliminator Free Spins
During the feature, you can eliminate the lower-paying symbols from the reels by making winning combinations with them. You need to land the symbols sequentially to eliminate them, starting with 9 and continuing with 10, J, Q, K, and A.
The higher-paying symbols can’t be eliminated, and the feature can’t be retriggered.
Final Thoughts on Invaders Blitz
Invaders Blitz is a slot with a somewhat sprawling theme. There are flying spaceships, glowing reels, and money-hungry alien cows at the same time. The game stays playful, but it's probably too odd for some players. The mechanics are a little more complex than in many other games, and they can keep on surprising you even when you think that you have everything under control.
The choice between the two Free Spins features adds a welcome layer of decision-making. Players who enjoy steady progress and puzzle-like gameplay will appreciate the Symbol Eliminator Free Spins, while thrill-seekers will naturally lean toward the Cow Collect Free Spins and their high-volatility explosive potential. Add in the Cowtainer Meter, Lightning Collect symbols, and chunky multipliers, and you’ve got a slot that rewards patience as much as bravery.
The game looks almost identical to Invaders Takeover, but its features differ significantly. However, we believe the features align better in the previous release, and Invaders Blitz can unfortunately become quite confusing.
Invaders Blitz from Light & Wonder doesn't reinvent the slot universe but is a solid pick if you like feature-packed slots where flying cow aliens are totally normal.
