Play Shooting Stars Supernova for Free

Slot machines don't get much more universally appealing than when they are based on the universe itself. Shooting Stars Supernova is an out of this world game that takes place somewhere in the deepest reaches of the galactic landscape, with 5 reels that are filled with all sorts of celestial bodies, from planets to stars and even entire galaxies.

The game's design is of a fairly good standard but it won't absolutely blow you away with any special effects. In fact the game plays it quite safe when it comes to the design, offering plenty of colour and a bit of animation here and there to keep the player's attention while not going to any great length to provide any action that would be worthy of an epic science-fiction blockbuster.

This slot machine doesn't go overboard with the style and it doesn't really go too adventurous when it comes to the winning potential either. That is because this game's jackpot multiplier prize is worth just 250x (this is awarded whenever five sun icons appear on any of the 10 fixed paylines). That's not a great top prize for any slot machine, let alone a medium volatility slot such as this.

Thankfully, the games wagering limits are relatively high and a maximum bet of 1,000 game credits will return a jackpot prize of 25,000 coins whenever five of those sun icons align. The downside is that the game doesn't offer many options for casual punters to place some small bets; the minimum possible bet with 10 paylines in play is a hefty 50 game credits.

This slot machine might not have the most inspired range of prizes in the paytable, but that doesn't mean that it isn't worth a spin or two. In fact, if you are prone to some 'Hi Roller' slot machine action, then you might just benefit from playing Shooting Stars Supernova. That is because the game comes with the option to play with bigger bets for extra winning potential – all you have to do is toggle one of the following high roller gameplay modes:

So, you might have to place bigger bets across the reels, but this feature could significantly boost your winning potential. After all, stacked wilds could cause multiple paylines to be triggered at once for big accumulated wins!

If you don't fancy forking out extra cash for the high roller modes of this slot, then you can still benefit from a bit of bonus action. The game features a special supernova icon that appears in every mode of play and it will explode on the reels to reveal a random game symbol. This random symbol could even be a wild icon that might provide the missing link in a potential winline formation.

Space is a place in which the imagination has full freedom to roam – just look at all of the books and films which are set in the deepest corners of the universe. It seems as if slot machine designers are partial to imagining different stories set in space too, with slot machines like Space Corsairs by Playson, Starquest by Big Time Gaming and Space Wars by NetEnt offering to take punters on inter-galactic science-fiction adventures.

Shooting Stars might not be the most stunning example of a space-themed slot machine, nor does it serve up the most exciting range of prizes in the paytable. Even so, the game is quite unique with its special 'Hi Roller' Gameplay feature which offers spinners with the chance to send the game into hyper-drive with stacked wild icons added to the reels.
