The Final Countdown Symbols & Payouts
This high-energy game has a kind of retro sci-fi theme befitting its iconic soundtrack. The reel set sits on a rocket ship launch pad with floodlights atop the grid’s metal frame. The rocket ship is to one side of the reels, and you can see a night-time cityscape glowing in the background.
The reels are filled with colourful gemstone pay symbols and low-paying playing card royals. There are also two wild symbols on the reels, which represent the two game characters—one male and one female.
The game’s scatter symbol is a gold coin, and your gateway to the game’s free spins bonus rounds. Scatters also award payouts from anywhere on the grid, up to 100x for landing six on a single spin.
To earn regular base game payouts, match identical symbols on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel. Your payout is determined by the value of the symbol, as indicated in the table below, which is based on a £1.00 bet:
Symbol | Match 2 | Match 3 | Match 4 | Match 5 | Match 6 |
9 | - | 0.10 | 0.20 | 0.30 | 0.40 |
10 | - | 0.10 | 0.20 | 0.30 | 0.50 |
Jack | - | 0.15 | 0.25 | 0.30 | 0.60 |
Queen | - | 0.15 | 0.25 | 0.40 | 0.60 |

The Final Countdown Bonus Features
The bonus features start with the character wild symbols, substituting regular pay symbols to help you create winning combos.
Clone Reels
There is a chance on any base game spin that Clone Reels could activate. When a Reel Clone appears, it takes over between two and four reels, making them spin with identical symbols. Clone reels can occupy reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Clone Wilds
If a wild symbol lands on a Reel Clone, it will expand both horizontally and vertically, featuring multiplier values as follows:
- x4 on 2 Clone Reels
- x27 on 3 Clone Reels
- x256 on 4 Cone Reels
The Countdown Free Spins
Landing three or more scatter symbols triggers the free spins bonus, where you can play either the Countdown Free Spins or Heading For Venus bonus games.
If you choose Countdown Free Spins, you are given 8 free spins in the bonus arena, where Countdown Scatters can appear on the reels. When they do, they offer the same payouts as regular base game scatters, and they reduce the countdown between one and three positions.
At the beginning of the game, the countdown starts at 10, retriggering the feature when it drops to zero.
The bonus starts with a roaming wild symbol boasting an x4 multiplier, which grows in size on each feature retrigger up to its maximum of x256.
Heading for Venus Free Spins
The Heading for Venus bonus game starts with 15 free spins and a guaranteed Reel Clone on every spin. The round features Velocity Wilds, which begin with an x4 multiplier that randomly rises to a x888 maximum. You can retrigger the feature by landing an additional 3+ scatters.
