Play Starquest For Real Money With Bonus
Starquest Slots
We’re embarking on a cosmic journey with Starquest, a fresh slot machine from Big Time Gaming, blending two beloved themes: space and gaming. While the space theme has been overdone, we were cautious about this latest release from the brand. However, our concerns were unfounded, as it’s truly exceptional, especially with their patented Megaways feature.
Packed with various symbols and a couple of wild bonuses, this game is generous without being excessive. So, let’s secure our seatbelts, don our helmets, maybe grab some snacks, and then embark on an interstellar adventure!
Ride of Your Life
As hinted earlier, most of the bonuses in this game revolve around wilds, making it logical to discuss them first. Instead of the typical wild symbol, you have a full reel wild represented by a futuristic girl wielding a laser gun; she covers an entire reel, equivalent to five individual tiles combined.
Aside from substituting for other symbols, she also applies a multiplier to your wins when she emerges; the multiplier starts at x1 and can go up to x5 over time, if she remains on the reels. If she doesn’t teleport back to space, she can trigger the respin wilds feature. By firing her laser, the reels start spinning, and should she land on another reel, the process repeats; wherever she lands becomes a sticky symbol, staying in place as other symbols cascade by.
That pretty much sums up the features, but then there’s Big Time Gaming’s Megaways system. Essentially, it offers up to 117,649 different ways to win cash in each game. Although the concept sounds impressive, it rarely materializes on the reels, indicated by the top counter. In theory, this should be an exciting feature, but we weren’t particularly impressed; the wins didn’t seem significantly larger when it did trigger.
Galactic Symbols
Regarding the other icons in Starquest, their maximum values peak at just 15 credits, reflecting the underwhelming nature of the symbols: lackluster. While it may sound harsh, in the realm of slot machines, players seek a decent return on their bets, which doesn’t quite manifest here. Although any multipliers applied can affect your winnings, the base jackpot doesn’t stand out. When you’re venturing through space, you expect the universe, not just a fragment of it.
Turbo Boost!
The game controls in Starquest are incredibly straightforward: you only adjust the betting range and then spin. Simply click on either the ‘Increase’ or ‘Decrease’ buttons on the ‘Stake’ interface, starting from 1 and reaching up to 2,500, which may seem excessive! Especially considering none of the symbol values increase with your bets, risking a substantial sum for a 15-credit payout doesn’t seem justifiable.
A Dying Star
Perhaps it’s just us, but we fail to see the charm of this title – it may look appealing, but the features fall short. While it capitalizes on a popular theme and could be worth a shot with minimal wagers, it doesn’t alter our overall assessment of this slot machine.
