Play Neon Stars for Free

We’ve never been into space but we’ve seen enough documentaries by Professor Brian Cox to know that vast void of the universe isn’t filled with giant neon retro slot machine symbols. But that is the concept behind this free Neon Stars slot from Gameway, in which a handful of familiar objects from the world of online gambling appear to be floating about like giant croutons in the cosmic chowder.

These cherry, shamrock and horseshoe icons are rendered in a fairly simple manner with colourful neon outlines, striking a sharp contrast against the stormy darkness of the background. It’s fair to say that the game isn’t the best looking game in the world but it will surely turn the heads of gamblers who are looking for a classically inclined game that doesn’t follow the same of arcade machine format.

Despite the somewhat out-there setting, the slot machine still plays like pretty much any other video slot online. There are 10 fixed paylines on the reels, meaning that spinners simply need to determine how much they would like to place as a total bet with a low limit of just 0.10 and a top wager of 200.00 coins. It’s fair to say that this will provide enough scope for spinners of all budget levels to enjoy the game.

The size of the prize awarded will be proportional to the size of the wager that is in play but players should know that the game’s high-paying combination of five cherries on a payline returns a 400x line bet multiplier. After this, the next best line bet prize is four cherries for 150x with five matching shamrocks or horseshoe icons awarding a 100x line bet prize. It is also possible to win a 250x total bet jackpot when you find five rocket scatter symbols in any position on the reels.

Not only will those scatter symbols award some out of this world wins but they could also blast players into an orbit of winning potential. That is because three, four or five scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 5, 10 or 15 free spins respectively. During this game feature, all wins will be doubled in value with the possibility to re-trigger 5 free spins with more scatter wins.

That’s not all, because punters will be able to connect up those winning sequences with the help of some star wild icons. These wilds aren’t just there to fill in the gaps for winning combinations but they will also boost the prize return with x2 and x4 multipliers. The wilds will replace all icons except for the scatter.

It’s fair to say that the neon aesthetic is very much in vogue in the world of online slot, especially in relation to upgrading the retro style of game. Some classic slot machines which have been given a futuristic neon upgrade are Wild Neon by Push Gaming, Neon Reels by iSoftBet and Fruits of Neon by Fugaso. And if you’d like to spin some neon slots with a unique theme then you should try Egyptian Rise by Side City Studios, Glow by NetEnt and DJ Wild by Elk Studios.

If you like the retro slot machine style and have a fascination with the wonders of outer space, then we would definitely recommend that you play Neon Stars. While the game might not have the most magnificent graphics compared to similar slots, it is sure to attract plenty of punters with its minimal, no-nonsense approach. That also applies to the bonus gameplay elements which are simple yet potentially very rewarding.
