Stardust slot

stardust slot
A new development of a Microgaming company called Stardust slot is not yet appreciated, but analysts of the gambling market unanimously assert that it has a great future. The name of the game is associated with a made noise in 2007 with the eponymous feature film. However, this marketing move went only to the benefit of the slot.

The plot of the game continues and improves the traditions of earlier games developed by the company, the “Star Cruiser Galaxy” and the “Starry Landscape” slot machines. The possibility of winning at the slot is quite high, and the maximum payout amount, on which one can expect, is 100,000 coins. Anyone can see it, start playing for free in the demo version of this slot machine without the registration.

Personal testers opinion

I was pleased with the winnings in free spins. The average payment was 107x bets, with the frequency of their triggering reaching up to 0.55% (Statistically in every 182nd spin). Of course, it is not the best figure, but still, you can hope for large payments. The pool is distributed so that, 39% of the money goes to the bonuses. All the rest will be paid in usual spins. There are better slots for completing the bonus requirements; wagering 3.5 out of 10.

Description of the slot machine

Stardust slot cannot be called too revolutionary concerning the graphics and a game process. Launching this game, you will see 5 reels with four rows of symbols that are set on a dark star background. Unusually, unlike most other machines, the number of active lines varies here. Therefore, during the usual spins, there are 40 of them, but during free spins of active lines, there are 1024. The minimum bet size is very democratic, and it is equal to 40 cents, but the high rollers will be where to turn around because the maximum limit of a bet is raised to $ 100.

Developers managed to perfectly combine the usual spins and the various bonus functions, such as free spins, Super Stacked Wilds and Radiant Re-spin. All of them, one way or another, between themselves are interrelated and significantly increase your chances of good winning. It remains only to dispose of them skillfully. If we compare it to competitors, this slot machine will have serious advantages. Of course, we are talking about the possibility of winning up to 100,000 coins with free spins and several features. By the way, the basic game with 40 pay lines is not something special. The presence of boring card symbols somewhat reduces the overall impression of the game.

The open diapason of bets for spin allows you to launch the game with small and gradually increase your amount. The game is excellent and suitable not only for experienced players but the absolute beginners. We recommend waiting for free spins, keeping a close watch on the monitor for your balance. Wild symbols move the continuous strips, and a good percentage of payments helped us get permanent victories during the usual spins, sometimes even very serious. Undoubtedly, your view will be chained to how quickly the counter will be filled with precious stones, located to the right of the playing field.

The main winnings at the slot are generous enough compared to other developments of the Microgaming company. Of course, you will get the best results by launching free spins and using the additional bonus functions, but the main game will pleasantly surprise you. The declared percentage of payout to the player (RTP) is equal to 96.59%. The machine is endowed with a medium dispersion, and the maximum winnings can reach 100,000 coins. You will not be able to compete for a progressive jackpot, and there is no game for equal chances and a thematic bonus game. Nevertheless, the game captures from the very beginning, and it can deliver a lot of pleasant moments.

Symbols and payments

The paytable includes the low-paying symbol of cards and more valuable thematic symbols from the payouts. Spinning the reels of the slot, you can enjoy the brilliance of the coloured gemstones. They will not only promote good winnings but will also be your key to launching free spins. In addition to them in the game, there are special symbols about which we will say just below.

  • Card symbols will deposit your account in the amount of 12, 50 to 200 coins.
  • The precious stones, it is unclear how they found themselves in space, will give you 50 to 750 coins. The most valuable are yellow and red stones.
  • The galaxy will endow you with Stardust worth 125, 250 and 1250 coins.
  • Wild symbol. The logo with the name of the game is a wild symbol. In addition to its primary function for replacing any other symbols, except for a scatter, it also brings the independent payments in the size of 150, 500 or 2500 coins. The main feature of the Wild symbol is that it goes by stacks, and it significantly increases the probability of the pay combination. Wild symbol appears on any reel not only in the usual spins but also during free spins.
  • Scatter symbol. The symbol of our Galaxy is considered a scatter symbol. However, it is not standard, because in this slot it works quite differently than in others. Each appearance of the scatter symbol on the middle reel allows you to fill the meter and besides it brings you closer to the launch of free spins. By the way, this symbol is also capable of delivering separate payments for an independent combination. It can be met anywhere on the playing field, including free spins.

Bonus games and functions

Developers of Microgaming company have worked hard on the realisation of the bonus features in this game. Of course, the main of them will be free spins, and such satellites are two more functions: Super Stacked Wilds and Radiant Re-spin. About them, we will discuss them below, but for now, let us return to the main feature.

Free spins

Free spin at Stardust slot falls under a fantastic technology, whose name is 1024 ways to get the pay combination. Launching free spins is not as simple as usual. There are no ordinary for us scatter symbols here. Instead, we had to collect the precious stones to fill our counter, located to the right of the screen.

Every time you see Galaxy on the middle reel, one stone will be collected and used to fill the meter. Once this is done, 10 free spins will launch, and each additional stone that is used to trigger them and it will bring up to three more spins. Thus, the maximum number of free spins will be 13 pieces.

Super Stacked Wilds

In my opinion, this feature will allow you to win fantastic prizes by creating additional pay combinations on reels of the slot. This symbol will appear only on 4 and 5 reels.

Radiant Re-spin

During free spins, any victory in three or more symbols causes the Radiant Re-spin function. Then 4 and 5 reels will spin, which will give you a second chance to get the combination of 4 or 5 symbols. If your combination has already consisted of 4 images, then only the last reel will launch the 4th and 5th reels.

Conclusions

Stardust machine is a great one, with the dark reels, the bright symbols and simple animations. The main advantage is not only free spins but also a couple of bonus features. Although it is not so easy to get them, you should do it. After all, winning 100,000 coins can change cool your whole life.
