The expansion of Big Time Gaming’s reel modifier continues!
After its first Megaways release, Pragmatic Play decided to introduce another video slot packed with the engine that has taken the world of online slots by storm.
Even though it might seem familiar, Starz Megaways offers everything that a good release from the genre should – 117.649 ways to win, a decent stack of bonus features, and extremely good payout potential.
Some of you will be disappointed by the fact that there is no usual cascading reels mechanic, but…
…on the positive side:
The frequent free spins round and expanding wilds will make up for that!
Theme and Symbols
As the name suggests, the title has a cosmos theme. You are placed between stars, and the transparent grid reveals the burning sun and passages into other galaxies.
Thanks to the bassy soundtrack, the overall design has a retro/arcade feel to it which will delight most old school punters out there.
The paytable consists of 12 symbols. The low-paying ones are represented with differently colored planets, and…
…if we move to the top, we’ll encounter pink, blue, red, purple, and turquoise gems worth up to 2.5x for 6 of a kind landed.
In addition to these regular symbols, you’ll find wilds and scatters represented with different shapes of stars and Sun.
Betting Options
Now, shall we check the technical aspect of this Pragmatic Play’s release?
The cosmic adventure takes place on the grid made of 6 reels, 2-7 rows, and up to 117.649 megaways.
Before you make your first moves among the stars, you’ll need to place your bet between 0.20 and 100 coins per strike.
The volatility is high (5/5 on the meter) and in terms of fairness you can expect the above average RTP of 96.48%.
Last but not least, the maximum win is capped at 10.000x bet and it can be achieved during the base game or free spins.
Features
Look out for a Wild symbol that can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. It’ll replace all regular symbols bar the scatter offering you a possibility to land even more winning combos, and...
...it’ll expand vertically giving you wild reels.
By landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters anywhere on the grid, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature and get 6, 8, 10, or 15 freebies respectively.
But wait, there’s more!
During the feature, wilds will expand to cover the reels and will remain in place until the end of spins (sticky wild reels).
Lastly, the feature can not be re-triggered by landing additional scatters, but...
...if we consider its frequency, you won’t miss a re-trigger option at all!
Wrapping Up
Pragmatic Play obviously wanted to make a simpler megaways slot (without cascading reels or multipliers).
Stars Megaways is a high volatile video slot with retro/galaxy graphics and the RTP of 96.48%. Content-wise, you can expect expanding wilds, sticky wild reels, and free spins...
...while the maximum win of 10.000x bet could be achieved during the base game or bonus rounds!
