Follow the Star - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

It is holiday time in the Christmas themed slot from game designer Noble Gaming. It is played on a simple 5x3 reel set which generates 20 fixed bet ways paying from left to right.

There is a Happy Holidays wild symbol which substitutes for all the paying symbols. It is the top paying symbol in the game, but does not substitute for the eponymous star. The latter appears on reels 2 and 4 and when one lands it rewards the player with a re-spin with guaranteed wilds.

In addition to the wild there are 8 paying symbols, with the top value one being the Snow Suit. The silver, green and blue baubles are the mid-value symbols and finally there are 4 more tree decorations in the shape of four fruits, the plum, orange, lemon and cherries.

If you have tried, and enjoyed, games from this designer before and want to look at more you will find many more Noble Gaming free slots online here at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

In the US it is the Holidays while elsewhere we will know the festival celebrated in this game as Christmas. The symbols sit on a transparent reel set through which we can see a beautiful snowscape with pine trees and mountains in the distance.

The symbols are well designed especially the fruits in the shape of tree decorations. The wild is a Christmas message and the re-spin trigger a rather disappointing looking star. Since this symbol appears in the title one would have thought the designer might have made a little more effort. The Chinese inspired snow suit, meanwhile, is a little crazy.

The soundtrack only appears as the reels spin and is a gentle tune played by a string quartet. If this theme appeals to you why not take a look at Push Gaming’s Fat Santa demo slot here to play for free at Slots Temple. It has 50 pay lines and an RTP of 96.45%.

Follow the Star RTP and Variance 

No official RTP is available for this slot and this is disappointing, players will need to check at their casino of choice if they choose to play the game. We view the game as the low end of medium variance. There are plenty of barren spins.

How to Play Follow the Star

The game has a simple format, but here are a few tips to help you enjoy this slot:

1. Once the main game screen opens click on the menu button in the top right hand corner and then the info button.
2. A new screen opens and in the top left hand corner you will see the wild symbol and its powers.
3. Next to this you will see the eponymous star which appears on reels 2 and 4 and triggers a re-spin with added values.
4. On the same screen you have a full pay table with the rewards of each symbol.
5. You can adjust your wager via the pile of chips on the left of the screen.
6. You are all set to play by hitting the spin button.

You can play this game in demo mode here at Slots Temple. We recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity to familiarise yourself with the slot if you are thinking of visiting a casino to play for real. You can take time outs in free play to prepare yourself for a real experience.

Follow the Star Review 

This is a disappointing slot on many levels. First of all we have to make our usual complaint about designers who do not provide an RTP percentage. In this case we made repeated requests for a figure but none were forthcoming.

Next, we were not happy with the free spins option. Having the star trigger on just 2 reels, and rewarding with the player with just a re-spin is a little disappointing. On the positive side, once this feature does guarantee 5 wilds for each star. Once in this phase players can expect plenty of winning lines to form due to the plethora of wilds available.

The harsh truth is that this slot has very few features, and the ones that do appear are hard to land, and pretty skinny in their rewards. The bet spread is decent, but even high rollers are going to be wary of risking too much since the rewards are not too exciting. We find it hard to recommend this slot due to the many caveats mentioned above.
