Star Dust Slot Review

Star Dust, a space-themed video slot release from Microgaming, is yet another of this genre of game to be introduced to the gaming community. And while some developers have managed to involve this theme whole-heartedly into their products, others have fallen by the wayside when attempting to do so. This offering from Microgaming fits very nicely in to the first of these two categories, having managed to create a successful and interesting game based on such. While it has plentiful amounts of visual appeal, it has also had a galactic and space age piece of music added to it as well, which only serves to further enhance the atmosphere of it. And while not all of the symbols showing up on the reels are relative to the overall theme, they have been designed with a generally quite high level of graphical quality, providing the previously noted visual treats that some other games might lack. So, whenever you’re ready to jet off into space, Star Dust should definitely be one of the first products you should try.

The Wonder and Awe of Leaving Earth!

You’ll find that the game is laid out on a five reel and four row interface, and this is set against a background of blacks and purples, with another planet in close proximity. Despite the fact that this is a space-themed game, you’ll find various different icons on the reels, starting with the regularly seen A, J, K, Q and 10 symbols. These can be quite frequently found within slot games, so there’s nothing ultimately special with regards to them. However, joining these are four different gemstone symbols, one in blue, another in green, a third in yellow and the fourth in ruby red.

Not only does the game have some intriguing reels, rows and icons, but the developer has also included a total of 40 separate pay lines for the base game as well. These are fixed in position, so you’re not able to customise them in any way. However, you do have the chance to adjust the wager that you place per spin, starting with changing the coin size between $0.01 and $0.25, while the amount of coins that you’re able to bet per pay line is changeable between one and 10. Therefore, a maximum overall wager of $100 can be played per round.

Intergalactic Special Features

One thing that you’ll definitely be in need of while you’re flying through space, is some special features to boost you along. This game’s start with its wild symbol, which is represented by its own logo. As a wild, it will substitute for any other icon on the reels in order to form a winning combination. During the base game, this icon can show up stacked on all of the reels. Meanwhile, during the freespins round, the icon is super stacked on reels four and five.

There’s an additional symbol added to the game, which is the shot of the star burst. Should this show up on reel three at any time, you’ll be provided with a gem stone as a reward, and these will be added to the ‘Stardust Meter’. You’ll need to collect 10 of these gems to trigger the freespins round. Up to 13 freespins can be awarded, and the amount of ways you’re able to win is increased up to 1024 during this round. What’s more, during this round, an extra feature entitled the ‘Radiant Respin’ can be activated. Reels four and five can re-spin to boost your winnings. On a three symbol win, reels four and five re-spin once, while on a four symbol win, reel five re-spins once.

Internal Nebula!

We enjoy anything to do with outer space in general, so the fact that this video slot takes place there is already an appealing quality for us. However, it’s also got some intriguing specialities included in it, as well as nicely designed graphics and animations. Plus, the fact that your ways to win are increased so dramatically during the freespins round allows you huge opportunities to win big money!
