Magic Stars 9

Infinite multipliers and countless bonus spins really make this starstruck slot stand out amongst the competition. Wazdan has done a pretty admirable job creating the atmosphere here, not to mention the different features and wins.

In a rather surprising twist, the game offers only three reels, making gaming even easier and faster. As per usual, you also get to choose your preferred volatility, trading frequency of wins to size of wins.

Theme and Symbols

Psychedelic colours and shaped stars take the space on the three reels, flanked by all of the universe in vibrant colours and occasional light animations. The colours in use and on the reels are well-chosen. The sound effects are a bit mystical, and even though they don’t quite reach the same heights of the atmosphere as the graphics, they still do a good job keeping you immersed in the game.

Betting Options and Functions

Though you can adjust the variance to your liking, the basic variance is still somewhere in the middle, meaning that wins drop in relatively often but in slightly smaller sizes. The game comes with three reels of three symbols each…

...and with scatter pays instead of paylines. This means that all symbols pay from all positions. A minimum of four matching ones are needed to score a win, with 9 matching ones paying out the highest wins...which can reach all the way to 100 times your bet.

Features

To help you land those symbol combos the game comes with an ability to hold some of the symbols in place for an individual spin. On any non-winning spin you can lock any or all of the nine symbols in place. Obviously, you should choose any symbols that already come in high enough numbers to go for a win on the next spin.

For most of the game, it’s going to be straight spinning, but once in a while, you’ll make your way into the bonus spins. This is where the real wins of the slot are dished out. The star spins reward nine bonus spins where the star symbols stick to the reels.

But the multipliers? Well, that’s another set of bonus spins, activated by special bonus symbols. During these spins, each win adds one to the multiplier. How does it become infinite? There’s a special symbol, which will grant you three extra spins every time it shows up.

Our Take

It’s obvious that this Wazdan slot is one that aims to entice you with the bonus features. Make no mistake about it though, no matter where you set the variance, it’s going to be hard to get there. But if you do, the risk was worth the taking. The low bet level makes this game ideal for that kind of gaming.
