Bonus Star
Line up your lucky stars with this exciting little slot machine by Kajot software – a popular producer of land-based and online slots from the Czech Republic. On first appearances, this game might appear to be quite basic with its 3-reels and generic fruit symbols but, in reality, this game has a whole load of rewarding potential with 27 ways to win and a progressive bonus jackpot that keeps rising as you spin. Plus, players can make the most of some free spins and a double or nothing gamble game to take their winnings to the stars.
More than meets the eye
Bonus Star is a simple slot machine which is full of little surprises. The game takes after vintage style arcade slots with some traditional fruit icons such as oranges and plums as well as other generic icons such as 7s, single and double bars and some gold and silver stars. On the face of it, these icons are merely two-dimensional symbols on a relatively normal looking game screen. However, soon enough you will realise that these icons have the potential to jump out from their reel positions and perform 3D spinning animations to celebrate a successful winning combination. As such, both players with retro tastes and spinners of contemporary persuasion will be able to enjoy a game that is, for the most part, visually traditional but which also has the ability to amaze the senses.
27 ways to win
Another surprising aspect of this 3-reel slot machine is the fact that it doesn't have any paylines. Instead, players will find that there are 27 different ways to win by finding identical icons appearing on all three reels, no matter whether they align neatly in a row or not. What's more, lower playing symbols – such as the oranges and plums – have a tendency to stack, meaning that it isn't uncommon to hit multiple wins at once.
As for wagering options, players simply have to choose from a relatively small set of options to determine their total bet per spin. Those bets include 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 – therefore, this slot machine is perhaps better suited to big risk bettors. Below you can see for yourself what kind of wins are in store when three matching symbols appear on reels 1, 2, and 3 at the same time.
Living up to its name
Bonus Star lives up to its name by incorporating a couple of bonus elements – both of which involve those low value, frequently appearing gold and silver star symbols. First of all, there is a progressive bonus jackpot that can be seen in the top right hand corner of the screen. This isn't a collective jackpot that rises when players in other locations place their bets, but instead it will rise in value with every 10 stars that are collected. No matter where the stars appear on the reels, they will be taken and tallied to keep the ticker rising. And we suppose you want to know how this bonus jackpot can be won? Well, it's quite simple – you just have to hope that your lucky stars align to reveal a full house of silver and gold star symbols to unleash the jackpot prize.
There are also some free spins up for grabs in this 3-reel slot machine. This time, players just need to line up three gold stars in a horizontal row along the middle reel positions of all three reels. If this happens then 10 wager-less games will be awarded. What better way to boost your betting balance?
Double your win with a gamble
The wins in this game come fairly frequently thanks to the fact that there are 27 different ways to align winning sequences. However, punters can make those frequent wins even bigger with a cheeky gamble feature that is offered after every win during the base game. Simply guess whether the dice will land on a red or black symbol to double up the win from the previous spin. Incorrect guesses will wipe the prize money, although there is a blue side to the dice which will lock the current wins in place for extra insurance.
A different spin on a classic
Bonus Star by Kajot software provides plenty of exciting spinning action for a 3-reel slot machine. Even though the game takes after the same old vintage theme of traditional slot machines, it still manages to wow the player with some simple animated action. Plus, with 27 ways to line up wins, rarely will a spin go by without the sound of a winning jingle and the offering of a 50/50 gamble game.
