The iGaming World has taught us that there are no limits or boundaries when it comes to creation, imagination and ideas. A perfect example of this lies in the Stars of Orion online slot from ELK Studios content developer where we’ll be learning all about the Orion constellation whilst winning up to 10,000x the bet.
In terms of gameplay experience, there’s plenty to be covered as the title contains a wide variety of bonus and extra features, including cluster pays and Avalanche mechanics. Let’s get started.
Theme and Symbols
The setting takes place on a Stonehenge-like background with the two large monoliths holding the 6x8 sized matrix. We can’t help ourselves but notice that such a design reminds a lot of the one found in the Cygnus release from this company.
Nevertheless, with an out of this world soundtrack and mesmerizing graphics, ELK Studios did an excellent job. As far as the pay table goes, there are 7’s, Deers, Wolves, Birds and 4 low paying Orb Symbols.
The W is the Wild Symbol while the B letter acts as a Bonus Icon.
Betting Options and Features
As noted earlier, the title comes with a 6 reel-ed layout where each column holds 8 symbols in height and a cluster pays system (see more here). The betting range goes anywhere from 0,20 credits to a maximum of 100,00 credits per round.
So far so good. The game’s best odds, however, sit at 95% which is considered to be below the industry average of 96% while the highest payout caps out at 10,000x the stake.
Avalanche - Upon forming a winning cluster, it’s participants vanish from the reels allowing remaining symbols to tumble into free spaces while the gaps get filled with new symbols. The process repeats for as long as there are new winning clusters.
Super Symbol - Any paying Icon can appear as a Super Symbol and when used in a win, all adjacent symbols turn into the most valuable included Symbol instance.
Magic Meter - Forming winning clusters contributes to the Meter positioned on the right side where players get to win x2 - x64 multipliers, Symbol Swap or 4 Extra Wild modifiers.
Bonus Game - Getting 3 Bonus Symbols in view triggers 10 Free Drops where the meter remains persistent and does not reset in between spins. However, should you manage to get 3 Super Bonus Icons ( red in color ) then the Super Bonus is awarded where Super Symbols drop at an increased rate.
X-iter - As always, ELK Studios’ online portfolio of games boasts this exciting feature which allows you to jump straight into any of 5 features at a certain cost.
Wrapping Up
Our take on the Stars of Orion online slot is highly positive. The title comes with a not so usual theme and boasts an incredibly exciting gameplay experience filled with various bonuses and a maximum exposure of 10,000x the stake.
What is more, ELK Studios made sure that punters can enjoy this online edition even on their mobile devices.
