Simple graphics with a uninspiring theme

The StarDust slot game is not revolutionary in terms of graphics and gameplay, but that doesn’t mean it’s hasn’t got a few interesting quirks.

Microgaming are not the first, and probably won’t be the last slots software, to create a game based around gems and stars. NetEnt’s Starburst slot is one of the most popular games online, and one of the most frequent casino free spins bonuses game.

Set on a dark starry background, these 5×4 reels contain swirling galaxies, red gems, yellow gems, green gems, blue gems, and the StarDust slog logo.

With that in mind, this 5 reel, 40 payline Microgaming slot would have performed better in the graphics department if they hadn’t been lazy, like so many slots studios before, and created a full set of slot symbols rather than use the generic A – 10.

The logo is the wild and comes stacked on all reels during the base game.

40 paylines provide plenty of action

Ok so perhaps we are being a little harsh on this StarDust slot machine.

Yes the graphics aren’t the best, but the mix of 40 paylines, across a 5×4 reels layout, can provide some decent 20x – 30x your bet wins, and higher.

The stacked wilds, and 96 – 97% return to player rate, helps provide you with some constant wins throughout your base game play as you hope for the galaxy symbols to land in just the right place and top up your free spins meter to the right of the reels.

And there’s no doubt that the free spins are the redeeming factor of this StarDust slot game, and where you will get your biggest wins.

1024 ways to win with super stacked wilds

Triggering the StarDust slot free spins is a little challenging. There’s no scatters to find, instead you collect gems to fill up your StarDust meter on the right of the slot.

Every time you find a galaxy on reel 3, one gem per reel will be collected and used to fill up your meter.Fill the meter up and you will get 10 free spins, every additional gem that is used to trigger them will add an extra spin up to a maximum of 13 free spins.

Then, it’s time for some richer reels as here you move away from 40 paylines and onto 1024 ways to win.

Here you’ll get stacked wilds and super stacked wilds on reels 4 and 5, for even more and bigger wins.

This can lead to some very decent wins indeed, over 150x your bet that we found, but on average expect more towards the 30x – 50x mark.

And that’s not all, during the free spin games, any 3 symbol win will trigger the Radiant Respin feature.

Reel 4 and 5 will then re-spin, giving you a second chance at getting either a 4 or a 5 of kind win. And If you have a 4 symbol win, reel 5 will re-spin once.

A feature that, combined with those super stacked wilds, bring this StarDust slot from generic, to uniquely wonderful.

Should I play StarDust slot online?

This star and gem themed slot has a few differences over it’s competition, mainly the more involved bonus features than can provide a maximum win of up to 100,000.

The 40 payline’s base game is nothing special though, and with those familiar yet rather boring A – 10 symbols, it losses the overall feel of a true quality game.

The betting range at 0.40 up to 100 per spin gives you the chance to start off small and increase your bets, as well as allow beginners and experienced players to join in.

We would advice to watch your budget though, as you are waiting for those thrilling free spins.

With plenty on offer for everyone, this casino slot is very much improved by the game play of the free spins which bring you plenty of big thrill.

If you are looking for luxury, instead of gems, then we’d also recommend The Finer Reels of Life slot as an alternative.
