Extra Stars Slot Review

When I first read that I was going to be reviewing a slot called Extra Stars, I got extremely excited. “Finally,” I thought, “The casino gods have answered my prayers. An astrology-themed slot!” Boy, was I being naive. The casino gods aren’t there to answer your prayers, they’re there to help you make bank. I quickly consulted my birth chart and found that, no, lady luck wasn’t on my side today. I’m holding out for next week though, that looks like it’s going to be a real goody.

Gameplay

Extra Stars is a 5-reel, 10-payline video slot powered by software from EGT Interactive. It’s an old school-looking slot, with the majority of symbols taking up the reels being various kinds of fruit. Think, nostalgic: cherries, bananas, oranges, lemons, grapes, watermelon, stars and lucky 7’s. The stars act as the Wild symbol, and there is indeed no shortage of them. Expect big things from this old-school slot. The controls are what you’d expect from this kind of nostalgia-inducing game. They’re straightforward, and to the point but I’ll give you a run down just in case you’re new to all of this. Before playing, you’ll need to select a bet. With the coin size being 1 and bets ranging from 10 to 200. There are 5 fixed bets to choose from, all situated below the reels. Just click on any of them, and the reels will start spinning. The start button, on the right side of the reels, will activate the game and repeat your chosen bet. Just in case your hands get tired of clicking, there’s an Auto Play button to help you out, spinning the reels for a chosen number of times without interruption.

Features

The game's namesake, the Stars, acts as the wild. When appearing on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th reel, it will hold the entire reel in place and trigger a re spin around it. The reel it landed on will remain still, further increasing the chances of landing more wilds on the board.

Unique Features

Like most EGT Interactive games, Extra Stars has a “Gamble” feature. Triggered after each winning round, this feature is optional but can help you double your winnings. All you need to do is guess whether the face-down card is black or red. Choose correctly, and you’ll double your winnings, but get it wrong, and you’ll be sent back to the base game with nothing to show for all of your hard work. Whomp Whomp. Jackpot Cards Mystery is a randomly triggered bonus, also native to EGT Interactive, but can only be activated when any Jackpot stamped game is played. Each of the four jackpots are illustrated by a different card suit: clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts. Simply choose 3 cards from the same suit out of a pick field of 12 face-down cards, and the corresponding jackpot will be awarded.

Performance

Given the old-school appearance of Extra Stars, one wouldn’t necessarily expect it to perform all that well. However, don’t judge a book by its cover because this slot goes above and beyond with regard to its performance. With stellar graphics, featuring symbols that look so like their tangible predecessors, you want to reach out and touch them, a fun soundtrack that’ll have you thinking you’re back in your hometown casino, and compatibility on any device, this game is a pleasure to play.

Conclusion

You may think you’re too cool for Extra Stars, but I’ve got news for you - Extra Stars is too cool for you. Think the bad boy in an 80s rom com - that’s Extra Stars, and you’re just the nerdy sidekick who couldn’t get the girl. So go on, set that ego aside and give it a shot - you might be surprised by what you get in return.
