3 Stars - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

3 Stars slot review

Step into a lavish and opulent Oriental wonderland with the 3 Stars slots game. This new and interesting JVL online slot has five reels, three rows, and an impressive 50 paylines. 

Reach for the stars with the theme, graphics & soundtrack

You can tell that a great deal of time and attention to detail has been put into the theme of 3 Stars. Although Asian-themed games are not particularly original, this slot game is full of Oriental imagery and aesthetics, such as elaborate scrolls, golden dragons, and pots of sparkling gold coins.

The gameplay is very immersive; however, some players may find it distracting. The gold coins and dragons surrounding the reels are constantly sparkling and moving. 

Golden graphics

Again, the graphics are very well-designed and colourful. There is much to take in, as all the symbols are very detailed in a wealth of contrasting colours. 

The top-paying symbol, the baby holding the fish, is quite unusual! 

Starry soundtrack

The soundtrack is what we would expect from an Oriental-themed slot game. It blends well with all the other elements of the game.

3 Stars RTP & volatility

The RTP of 3 Stars slots is 96.0 per cent. This is average for this type of video slots game.

Volatility and total win on 3 Stars video slot 

The volatility is rated as medium, which means there is consistency and balance in how often the game pays out prizes. It is more predictable than a high-rated game but you may not win as often as when playing a low-volatility game.

The max win on 3 Stars is 2,000x your original stake. This is a below-average win amount, with other games on the market with much higher win amounts.

How to play 3 Stars

Follow these steps to get started playing 3 Stars slots, either in demo mode, demo play, or live play:

1. As the base game loads, you are transported to the main screen. This has a lavish green and gold background and a traditional reel set-up in the middle.
2. Click the menu button in the bottom left-hand corner to see the game settings, paytable, game rules, and paylines. 
3. To change the bet amount, click the plus and minus symbols. The amounts you can bet are between 0.50 and 20.00. 
4. Along the bottom of the screen is where you can see your win amount, your bet amount, and your remaining balance. 
5. When you are ready to start playing the 3 Stars slot game, press the big arrow button and spin the reels. Remember to always gamble responsibly and when the fun stops, stop playing. Use the timeout and self-exclusion functions if necessary.

How to win at 3 Stars slots

The 3 Stars slot game is played on a traditional three-row, five-reel set with an impressive 50 paylines.

To achieve a win, you need to match at least three lower-paying winning symbols or two higher-paying symbols.

Top symbols in the 3 Stars slot game

The highest-paying winning symbol is the baby holding the fish. The other top symbols are the bowl of gold coins, the pink fruit, and the red scrolls. 

The payouts for the highest winning symbol - the baby holding the fish - when your stake is set at 20.00 are as follows:

• 5 = 250
• 4 = 50
• 3 = 10
• 2 = 2

The lower-paying winning symbols are the playing cards. The payout potential for matching three of these, using a stake of 20, ranges from 5.00 up to 75.00.

The wild symbol is the gold ingot and replaces all the other symbols on the reels except the Fu Lu Shou and the coins. The scatter symbol is the Fu Lu Shou.

Max-win 2,000x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 96.01%

3 Stars bonus features

There are only a couple of bonus features available in the 3 Stars slot game:

Free spin bonus

If you land three or more of the scatter symbol - the Fu Lu Shou - on any of the reels, you will be awarded seven free spins.

You can also gain win multiplier amounts depending on how many Fu Lu Shous you spin:

• 3 = 2x total bet
• 4 = 5x total bet
• 5 = 50x total bet

The free spin game is played on a different reel set to the base game, and the low-paying playing card symbols will not appear on the reels. If you land further scatter symbols in the free spins round, you can win five more free spins.

Coin bonus feature

If you land six or more gold coins on the reels during the free spins bonus round, the bonus coin feature is launched. Each coin has a value ranging from 1x to 20x. You can also be awarded mini, minor and major cash prizes.

The coin bonus feature takes place on a different reel set with 15 reels. Coins will appear, some will lock in place, and the total of the coins will be awarded at the end of the round. If you manage to fill all 15 reels, you will win the grand bonus amount of 40,000.

3 Stars review: our verdict

Overall, 3 Stars is a beautifully designed game with great graphics, interesting bonus features, and a similarity to other JVL games if you have enjoyed them before.

The only issue we could find is that even though the bonus features are quite innovative, the max win is only 2,000x your stake. This is lower than similar slot games on the market.
