Sneak a Peek: Planet Exotica Slot
Sneak a Peek: Planet Exotica is a historical five-reel, 15-line Microgaming slot. Its space-nightclub theme accompanies two separate features: a tile-selection bonus and scatter-triggered free spins. The screenshots below document the older desktop edition archived by our sister site KeyToCasinos. They do not establish current casino availability, stake limits or the rules of a later release.
Reading the stake controls
The base-game screen shows 15 active lines, 15 coins per line and a 0.01 coin denomination. Its bet display is 225 coins, calculated as 15 lines multiplied by 15 coins. At that denomination, the complete spin costs 2.25 account units. The screen does not identify those units as a particular currency.
The help screens use a different example setting: one active line and one coin per line. Their symbol awards must therefore be read together with the rules for multiplying by the line stake. A paytable value is not automatically a cash amount, nor should a line award be multiplied by the number of active lines.
Ordinary symbols and the wild
The historical rules panel says ordinary wins run left to right. Line awards are multiplied by the coins staked per line. The Planet Exotica logo substitutes for other symbols except Bonus and Scatter, and also has its own three-, four- and five-symbol awards.
| Symbol | Three | Four | Five |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cocktail | 6 | 12 | 125 |
| Cash | 8 | 15 | 150 |
| Valet spaceship | 10 | 20 | 175 |
| Bartender | 12 | 25 | 225 |
| Security guard | 15 | 30 | 300 |
| Meduna | 20 | 100 | 1,000 |
| Asherah | 25 | 125 | 1,250 |
| Sooki | 30 | 150 | 1,500 |
| Lumeena | 40 | 175 | 1,750 |
| Tandy | 50 | 200 | 2,000 |
| Planet Exotica wild | 100 | 500 | 5,000 |
For example, three cocktail symbols on a qualifying line pay six coins at one coin per line. At two coins per line, that award becomes 12 coins. With a hypothetical 0.01 denomination, it is 0.12 account units. Separately, five wild logos at the pictured one-coin setting pay 5,000 coins, or 50.00 account units at a 0.01 denomination. This is a symbol award, not a progressive jackpot or a guaranteed feature return.
Scatter awards and free-spin modifiers
The lips symbol is the scatter. The help panel gives awards of 2, 3, 15 and 100 times the total bet for two, three, four and five scatters respectively, with scatter wins added to line wins. At a 2.25 total stake, a three-scatter award is 6.75 account units and a five-scatter award is 225.00 account units. These calculations use the whole spin stake, unlike the ordinary-symbol example above.
Three, four or five lips anywhere also start Select a Smooch. Selecting a lips symbol reveals up to ten initial free spins and up to a 2x starting multiplier. The pictured rules say a pink lipstick on reel five can add up to another 2x to the multiplier; a green lipstick on reel four can add up to three free spins. The multiplier cannot exceed 10x. Extra spins have no stated numerical cap in this panel, but the scatter feature itself cannot retrigger.
The distinction matters: extra spins from the modifier are different from starting the scatter feature again. The help also states that Sneak a Peek can trigger during free spins, but its prize is not multiplied by the free-spin multiplier.
The Sneak a Peek tile bonus
The zipper symbol must land on reel one. A character symbol must land in the corresponding position on reel five to trigger that character’s bonus; the presence of both symbols somewhere on those reels is not sufficient.
The pictured feature allows 12 selections from 15 tiles. Matching three copies of an item completes a set, while bouncer tiles are obstacles. The verified payout rule is that awarded multipliers are added together and then multiplied by the total stake. For a purely illustrative calculation, awarded multipliers of 5 and 10 would total 15; at a 2.25 total stake that would give 33.75 account units. Those example multipliers are arithmetic inputs, not a claim about the prizes available on a particular tile.
Edition and evidence limits
The archived help screens are the basis for the payouts and feature distinctions above. Their large “win up to” banners are not treated as independently verified maximum cash wins: a denomination, line stake and feature context are needed to interpret a coin amount. No current RTP, supported-device claim or present-day betting range is asserted here. Check the exact game’s help and cashier settings if this title is offered.
Planet Exotica questions
Does this edition have nine or 15 paylines?
The pictured Planet Exotica edition has 15. Do not substitute a paytable from another Sneak a Peek title.
Does a 5,000-coin wild award mean 5,000 in cash?
No. At one coin per line and a 0.01 denomination it corresponds to 50.00 account units. The line stake and denomination determine the monetary amount.
Are scatter awards based on the line bet?
No. The help explicitly uses the total bet, with two to five scatters paying 2x, 3x, 15x and 100x respectively.
Can the free-spin feature retrigger?
The help says it cannot retrigger. A green lipstick modifier can still add free spins, which is a separate mechanism.
Does the free-spin multiplier increase the tile-bonus prize?
No. The archived panel specifically excludes the Sneak a Peek bonus amount from that multiplier.
Do the zipper and character have to be on the same row?
Yes. The trigger requires the character on reel five to occupy the position corresponding to the zipper on reel one.
