Galaxy Stars Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

The Starburst slot is one of the most popular in the world, and for good reason, so any game that can remind you of those sparkling thrills is more than welcome. Radi8 do something similar to what NetEnt did with Starburst and use a simple five-reel design with a mere 20 paylines to create something special, from its gorgeous graphics to the plethora of bonus features and winning potential.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

In the vastness of space float and spin a range of planets and spacecraft, each a symbol on reels that are left transparent so you can better appreciate the starry world in which you find yourself. Galaxy Stars is full of deep, rich colours and beautifully detailed graphics, all the better to convey the infinite majesty of space. The sounds are also futuristic, from the beeps and whirs to the melody of winning spins. Wins are also accompanied by some electric animations that bring their own thrills every time they appear. Most exciting of all is the dark, whirling black hole at the top of the screen, ready to bring multipliers.

Galaxy Stars RTP and Variance

Sometimes, the RTP of a slot can vary depending on where you play it. We’ve seen Galaxy Stars labelled at both 95% and 96%, which may be the difference between low and high. Of course, any RTP is only a long-term average and not a guarantee for individual spins, so stay open-minded. It is a high-volatility slot, which means the risks are higher but so are the rewards, with wins being further apart but larger when they do hit.

How to Play Galaxy Stars

Commander, it’s time to take control of your vessel and get ready to blast off.

1. For the most thorough guide to the game, you need to start in the Menu. You’ll find it linked at the top right corner of the screen.
2. Here you’ll find a sound on/sound off toggle, along with links to both the game rules and the paytable. Take a look at both to make sure you know exactly what you’re doing and what to expect.
3. Now take a look under the reels. There’s an on/off button for Turbo mode, depending on just how fast you want your ship to fly.
4. Next to it is a display for your current bet. Click on it to open bet settings and adjust based on your budget and enjoyment of risk. Bet per line can be changed, but the number of lines is fixed. Here you’ll also see any currently applied multiplier.
5. On the far side of the screen, you’ll see an autoplay button. If you’re annoyed at having to keep pressing Spin over and over again, this is where to go. Pick ten, 50, 100, 250 or infinite automatic spins with compulsory loss and single win limits.
6. If you don’t mind clicking Spin over and over again, you can do that instead. It’s the big button in the centre, swirling like a black hole that tries to pull you towards it.
7. In the interests of responsible gambling, you should keep track of your budget throughout the game. Your current balance and most recent win are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
8. All Radi8 Games also have a Reward Coins feature, which you can access through the golden coin button. Collect enough coins, and you can purchase free spins or loot boxes.

Bet & Win Sizes

Your bet per line can go from 0.01 to 2.00, meaning a total bet of between 0.20 and 40.00.

You win by matching three or more adjacent symbols consecutively across a payline, with the paytable showing the following values for each of those symbols:

Blue Hexagon, Orange Hexagon - 2, 10, 50

Red Hexagon, Purple Hexagon - 5, 15, 60

Blue Planet, Red Planet - 5, 20, 75

Ringed Planet - 5, 25, 100

Spaceship - 10, 30, 150

Space Station - 15, 50, 200

Sun - 20, 100, 500

Galaxy Stars Bonus Features

Nexus

Remember how we mentioned that the black hole at the top of the screen can bring multipliers? You can see the three faint Nexus symbols around it. After any winning combination, one of those three symbols could light up, at which point it’ll be clear they represent a 3x, 5x or 8x increase to any prize on your next spin.

Galaxy Spins

The free spins round is a fairly standard slot feature, and the Galaxy Spins feature may seem a little conventional. Three Scatters will win you ten free spins. That may seem simple, but there is a twist. During the round, Blazing Wilds will appear. These are what you might call Sticky Wilds because at first they hold their place in the reels, but then they take one step to the left after each spin, giving you more opportunities to fill a line.

Lucky Stars

Here's another feature involving extra Wilds, although this time you can’t trigger the feature at all during free spins. You’ll be awarded three to five Wilds, at random, which will take their place on the reels and potentially fill in a combination.

Galaxy Stars Review

Humanity has long felt awe when it looks into space, and Galaxy Stars attempts to replicate that feeling. The portrait layout makes the graphics particularly good in mobile play, but it still looks nice on a computer screen. Then there are the multiple layers of game-specific bonuses, as well as Radi8’s standard reward scheme. Overall, this is a rich and exciting offering that will make you want to play more Radi8 slots.
