The UK-based Push Gaming has released Star Fall. Featuring falling wild re-spins and locking wild reels in bonus play, this game elevates the classic slot theme of fruits and gems to another level.
Theme
This slot honors the classic themes of the slot genre. Gaming symbols include a gleaming diamond, a golden bell, watermelons, cherries, grapes, lemons, and the playing card values ace through jack. A star acts as wild, sometimes appearing stacked, while a full stack of golden coins, appearing only on the middle reel, triggers free games. Upbeat music matches a kind of dance hall setting, which gets brighter and warmer during bonus play.
Betting Options and Functions
Star Fall offers some delightful bonuses, but its solid fundamentals deserve even more attention. There are 30 pay lines, all paying from left-to-right, with bet per spin adjustable from 0.25–100.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay can engaged for up to 100 spins at a time, with optional stop limits for losses or single wins above a chosen size. Game rules, paytable information, and sound options are all available as well. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is an above-average 96.61%.
Features
The signature feature of this slot is its falling star feature, which is available even in base play. Every appearance of a wild symbol triggers an automatic respin – the wild symbol will “fall” one place lower on its reel, with the resulting set of symbols able to trigger another set of wins. This process repeats until all wild symbols disappear along the bottom of the reels.
Bonus play is set in motion by the appearance of all the fully stacked coin scatter symbol on the middle reel. Six free spins are awarded, during which time a small counter appears above reels two, three, and four. These keep track of each time a star wild symbol appears on one of these three middle reels: if any counter reaches three, the entire reel below it becomes “locked” wild for the remainder of free spins. In practice, should all three of these reels turn wild, every spin will result in multiple four- and five-of-a-kind wins.
Our Take
In its other titles, Push Gaming has dazzled with innovative, unique gameplay experiences. In Star Fall, this excellent design company moves in the other direction: this is a classic slot, evoking many that came before, but with unique bonus features and rock solid fundamentals. It will be exciting to see what this promising company comes up with next.
