Welcome to the world of fairies!
Stardust is not a licensed slot, even though the theme has a few or two points of similarities when it comes to the book, or movie of the same name.
That is to say:
This is a fantasy slot full of strange creatures, and fairies and fey. The style works and the game is easily played on mobiles and desktops alike.
It’s not all just eye-candy though - there are BIG wins, free spins and other features that warrant a second look. Decent job from RTG.
Theme
The game seems to be set in a magical swamp. Here the fairies seem to congregate like fireflies, adding their animation to the background.
What about the reel images?
All the symbols fit the theme, be that unicorns or magical mushrooms! Some of the symbols are animated which adds to the immersion. Music and sound effects are slightly weird, completing the look and feel of the game. The only thing missing is the fairy treasure.
Betting Options and Functions
As long as the minimum number of symbols connect from leftmost reel to right it counts as a win. Given that the play setup has the usual five reels with three symbols each this payline setup is known as 243 ways to win. Minimum bet is 0.40 and maximum 400 coins per spin.
Maximum win per paid spin is 2000 times the total bet, which seems quite small. This means that the variance and volatility here is probably around medium. RTP wise the game is decent.
The wins come in two categories: with wilds AND without. The wild ones offer much bigger prizes. The total range of wins is quite vast, ranging between 3 and 2000 times the total bet.
Features
The scatters pay out modestly, as their main purpose is launching the free spins. Three, four, or five scatters award 8,15, or 50 free games respectively.
Free spins are clearly the main attraction, as that way the big wins can pile up for free! This bonus feature can be retriggered.
During any normal spin, the Lucky Feature may activate. This simply means that any number of reels might turn into a wild reel. Seeing one or two reels is quite common, whereas five wild reels are of course a longshot. The green fairies will always show up on a single reel for each spin.
There’s more:
The last feature is the two fairies: the blue and green ones. Both act as wilds and whenever the blue one is taking part in a winning combination the prize is quadrupled. The green one has no other speciality, except that it can randomly transform into a blue wild.
Our Take
Stardust is an entertaining slot, with the one obvious drawback that the maximum win is 2000 times the total bet per spin. This can still result in some major winnings but…
…it does require a somewhat high bet. Luckily, the free spins make up for this. Especially when you land fifty of them!
