Stellar Ways Review

Background

Behind the reels a huge expanse of space is visible with clouds of dust floating byt the bottom of the screen and beams of white light shoot both ways from the centre and uncountable tiny stars shine in the distance. The playgrid is held in a rectangular shape with flattened corners and blue shining light from behind it, the same colours are used in the Sci-Fi text game title above the board. All of the game buttons are white with black backgrounds, they blend in with the backdrop well brining attention to the symbols.

The lower value symbols included here are shaped gems of blue, red, orange, purple and green which can return between 5 and 20 coins for a row of 5 each way. The higher value symbols include a red and blue planet complete with bright glows and rings, they can pay up to 50 and 70 coins for rows of 5. The only other symbol included here is the Wild, this is literally a planet with the word ‘WILD’ in blue across it

Bonuses

Along with the pre-mentioned pay both ways mechanic on Stellar Ways the Wild symbols are the only way to unlock bonus features here. As in the majority of slot games Wilds are used to substitute for any of the main game symbols in order to create winning paylines. The Wild here only land in reels 2, 3 and 4 which helps them to make paylines from the left or right side of the grid.

What is special about Wild symbols in Stellar Ways is that when Wilds land here they expand immediately filling the entire reel. This offers even more chance to complete winning combinations than before and when this happened a respin is triggered with the Wild remaining sticky throughout. If another Wild symbols lands on this respoin then that will subsequently expand to fill the reel and award a second respin. This feature could potentially fill all 3 of the middle reels with Wild symbols making rows of 4 or even 5 very possible.
