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

Introduction 

Do you fancy your chances behind the camera directing proceedings, or do you see yourself as a potential Oscar winner? Whatever your fascination with the world of film is, Movie Stars, an online video slot from game designer Capecod, will allow you to play your part.

It is played out on a 5x3 reel set that generates 25 fixed bet ways that pay left to right. The game has a bonus symbol in the shape of a film-reel-shaped trophy, which appears on the centre reel. Get 3 of these, collected to the left of the reels, and you'll enter the Magic Phase, which involves 10 free games that cannot be re-triggered.

During this phase of the game, there is a chance to collect random multipliers via a mystery symbol on the fifth reel. 
There is also a top-paying wild that substitutes for all symbols other than the bonus symbol.

In total, there are 9 other paying symbols on the reels, with the top payers being the director, female lead and male lead. Next up are the camera, director’s chair, light and film reel. The lowest payers are the megaphone and film cutting. 
If you are a fan of this designer’s work, you can find many more Capecod free slots to play in demo mode here at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

“Hooray for Hollywood” should have been the soundtrack for this great slot from Capecod, but instead they have given us a rather boring '70s funk beat, which seems rather out of place with the symbols on offer.

The leather-jacketed hero and the preppie heroine suggest the '50s, but the director with his megaphone and the 35mm film reels suggest the pre-war era.

The symbols are nice and crisp, but the designer has missed a trick by not tipping a nod to the glamour of Hollywood in its heyday. 

Movie Stars RTP and Variance

The RTP of Movie Stars is a rather disappointing 94.50% and the variance is deemed to be low. Players can expect to land steady wins at a regular rate and even garner bonus symbols without too much damage to their bankroll.

This is a simple slot without complicated features, but here are a few tips to guide you around the film set.

Movie Stars Bonus Features and Free Spins 

The golden trophy appears on the centre reels, and each time it does, it will be added to the scale on the left of the reels. Collect 3 and you will be rewarded with 10 free spins that cannot be re-triggered.

During this phase of the game, the mystery symbol can appear on the fifth reel, adding random multipliers to any winning lines.

Movie Stars Review 

This is a fun game with steady if unspectacular rewards. The betting range will not appeal to high rollers, but it offers a gentle intro to the game for novices, and we suggest taking advantage of this if you are a newbie when it comes to online slots.
The theme is fun, but as we report above, it is a pity that the graphics and the soundtrack do not take advantage of the potential riches on offer from the golden age of Hollywood.

Movie Stars is a fun game, although it may not appeal to all types of players.
