Star Dust

Gather around space fanatics, hipsters and people who remember the simpler times of the 80s (those of you who were popular in high school will probably be able to control your excitement), cause Microgaming has acknowledged our existence and rewarded us with this retro vibe, sci-fi themed slot with intergalactic background of a galaxy far, far away. Cosmic! Launched in the final days of 2015, Stardust has the potential to keep online gamers occupied in years to come.

The game has 5 reels, 4 rows and begins with 40 pay lines, progressing to 1024 in the bonus round. Basic rules apply – in order for you to win, your space mission will be to land symbols in an adjoining position. What makes the Stardust slot slightly different from other games is that free spins are not activated by the sole scatter symbol, but by collecting icons which will then trigger up to 13 extra rolls. With the bonus activated, the number of pay lines will increase together with your winning chances, as mentioned above.

With the range of $0.01 to $0.50 in coin value, your minimum bet will be $0.40 and your maximum bet $200, making the winning potential $100,000. The jackpot is non-progressive and it may also interest you to know that the overall return rate or RTP is calculated at 95-96%. You should choose Coin Size and Coins to select your preferred total bet per spin, with Max Bet, Auto Play, Options, Help and Stats also at your disposal.

Stardust Slot logo is the wild, meaning that it substitutes other symbols. Land five of these and you can walk out with the jackpot. Accumulating a certain number of icons will unlock free spins – when Galaxy symbol (the game’s scatter) lands on reel three it will start adding gems to the Stardust Meter. Piling up at least ten gems on the meter will lead you to free rounds where the number of active pay lines goes up thus functioning as this game’s version of a multiplier.

Additional spins come with two extra features – Super Stacked Wild, appearing on the reels four and five and Radiant Respin. During Radiant Respin, matching of three symbols will re-spin the third reel while matching of four will do the same with the fifth reel. Regrettably, this is a one-time feature.

Stardust is also available on mobile and tablet, and seeing as how desktop and mobile versions have very little differences, it is up to you to choose the one that best suits you.
