Stellar

AGames takes players beyond the Milky Way in Stellar. This space-themed slot (perhaps inspired by the film Interstellar) offers free re-spins whenever the stellar comet hits the reels, as well as two-way pay, but comes up light on bonuses and only average in its RTP.

Theme

The wide cosmos provide the setting for this slot. A vast, purple nebula stands behind the transparent reels. Distant stars grow nearer as play progresses, giving the impression of movement through space. A mystical, orchestral soundtrack invokes the depth and mystery of deep space.

Gaming symbols include four crystals in red, orange, green, and blue; as well as the four playing card suits rendered as imploding space rocks. The stellar comet acts as special, wild-creating symbol, while a swirling of four stars acts as wild.

Betting Options and Functions

AGames is a subsidiary of the Malta-based company BOSS., which offers complete casino packages to its clients. Though not a fully independent designer, however, AGames delivers consistently excellent games on par with anything coming out of industry giants such as Microgaming or NetEnt.

Their excellent design team has seen to every detail in Cute Farm. There are 10 fixed paylines, each paying both ways, for a fixed bet level of 20. Coin value adjustable from 0.01–1.00 for an overall per-spin bet range of 0.20–20.00 times the betting currency.

Autoplay is available for up to 500 spins, with optional win and loss limits if the feature is engaged through the settings menu, which also allows players to adjust sound and image options, as well as quickspin. The overall theoretical return to player ratio sits slightly above the industry average at 95.69%.

Features

There is no true bonus feature in Stellar – players will have to derive their profits from base play. On any spin, however, the stellar comet may appear on one of the middle three reels. It creates a wild in its place, and its impact adds an additional 2-3 wilds to random reel positions. In addition, stellar comet triggers free a re-spin… or, should it occur during a re-spin, it awards an additional one.

Our Take

AGames is to be praised for the sumptuous visuals of Stellar, but it’s difficult to imagine this slot lingering in player’s imaginations for long. Without bonus features or especially strong RTP, this title is perhaps best left out in space. Fans of the AGames approach are advised to explore Gold Sea, which has a similar structure, higher RTP, and an underwater theme.
