Not Just Your Ordinary Video Slot
Stars Ablaze is not your ordinary video slot game. It offers the player so much more whilst still maintaining a level of simplicity. Complex does not mean more fun! Most of the time it means the total opposite. It is true that we do find a lot of standard symbols that we find in many pub-style slot machine games. We are all too familiar with the lucky 7 symbols or the fruit symbols which have become iconic of games of this sort.
Apart from the standard symbols of fruit and the lucky 7, this video slot has bonus, wild and special symbols which all reap the player different rewards. The special stars ablaze symbol is the highest paying symbol of the lot. Getting 5 of these symbols will reap the top prize of 7500.00.
If the player would like to see the paylines possible (there are 5 different ways to win) the player may click on the info icon (a symbol with the letter i) to see the paylines a player would need and the pay table where the different payouts are listed.
Those Special Symbols
The scatter symbols are fun! When the player lands 3 scatter symbols, the bonus feature is activated. The bonus symbol may appear anywhere on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reel. When the player lands a blazing bonus, the player must pick on symbol and this will reveal a prize. This continues until the COLLECT symbol is revealed. This was a fun idea and we thought it was quite unique.
We love those wild symbols. If the player manages to land a wild symbol (which may appear on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th reel), these substitute any other symbol. These maximize your chances of winning a great prize. This maximizes your chances in obtaining a great win!
Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
We must say, we weren’t too impressed with the graphics of this game. It could be due to the fact that we have experienced some of Playtech’s other games and know their potential when it comes to video slot graphic design potential. We do like the background animation of fires blazing but we weren’t too fond of the logo. We think it appears too 1990’s for our tastes. It almost reminds us of Microsoft Office Word’s word art feature.
There is no background sound playing during gameplay but we do hear sound effects (very relevant to the theme of the game) when spinning the reels. We were satisfied by the quality of the sound effects. Only spinning and winning had sound effects allocated.
Playtech Has Some Really Awesome Games
We’re going to have to say this. When we compare this free Stars Ablaze slot to Cosmic Disco or Drinks on the Beach (both by Playtech) we are disappointed with the graphics. The latter two games have amazing graphic design quality and we were happily satisfied. We did find that the other two games offered more in terms of paylines. Cosmic Disco offered its players 25 paylines and Drinks on the Beach offers its players 20 paylines. This is much higher than Stars Ablaze’s 5 paylines.
We do feel that Stars Ablaze has simpler gameplay. There are less paylines and less options to set before gameplay. The only option the player has is to choose the line bet value. The other two games allow the player to tamper the value for the number of paylines. Stars Ablaze has an impressive maximum payout of 7500.00.
What Do We Think of Stars Ablaze?
We think that Stars Ablaze is a lot of fun and quite a simple game to play. This free Stars Ablaze slot is the perfect game for a player who enjoys pub-themed slot games and does not want to tire themselves out with complicated games, without compromising the massive payouts that other games seem to offer.
This is the game for anyone who wants to get the ball rolling to great cash-out prizes. If the game is too slow for you, the game also offers a turbo playing option. Your time is valuable. This game appreciates you and your time. Also, please note that is no download needed. You can play for real money. Play now!
