Starz Megaways Slots

Buckle up, because Starz Megaways is probably unlike anything you have ever seen before. Don’t get overwhelmed, because it seems like a lot from the beginning, because this game is not as complicated as it first seems. In fact, many seasoned slot players will likely love how much different this slot is from others because it shakes up a relatively standard formula. If you aren’t excited about Starz Megaways yet, you will be.

Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Laid Eyes On

Even the most experienced slot players will be a little intimidated when they open this game and see six reels times seven lines. It gets even more confusing from there when some of the lines disappear when you spin. Before that gets cleared up, it's essential to know what you’re looking at. This one is pretty simple because it is space-themed, so the background is a constantly moving trip through the galaxy. The reels are opaque, so you can see behind them as you shoot through space with stars passing by. Apart from your reels and controls, the only other noticeable item on the page is the game’s logo. That massive reel takes up most of the screen space, so there is nothing in the peripheral to catch your eye.

Usually, it's easy to rattle off symbols, but with a game this size, they’ll have to be a bit more condensed. Instead of traditional playing card symbols, this game chooses different colored and shaped gems. To shake things up even more, these gems are the highest-paying symbols instead of just being fillers like in most other slot games. The lowest-paying symbols are the yellow, bronze, and green planets. The pink and gold planets are a little rarer, so they are worth twice as much as the other planets. With how massive this board is, you are likely to see most of these on every spin.

The audio in this game is also unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. At the start of the game, there is spooky theremin music combined with different tones to make it feel like you are in a rocket ship navigating your way through space. As soon as you hit the spin button, it livens up with a more upbeat and bouncy tune, which sometimes crescendos into an almost techno-like beat. The sound effects are pretty buried under the tones, but you can still hear each reel click into play when you spin, and a different set of notes that stand out when you hit a winning line.

Out of This World Bonus Features

This game only has one true bonus feature, but it is like having a bunch of bonuses in one. As should be expected in most slot games, and especially one of this magnitude, there is a wild symbol that comes in the form of a starburst with the word wild on it. These aren’t any normal wilds, though; these are expanding wilds, which will randomly expand for even bigger winning potential. They are great for the general game, but even better in the bonus round.

The bonus round is triggered when you land three bonus symbols represented by a surprisingly accurate depiction of the sun with the word bonus across it. When you land three bonus symbols anywhere on the screen, it activates the bonus round, which starts with a second spin. You will get free spins based on how many bonus symbols you get in the second spin. Three bonuses net you six free spins, four gets you eight, five gets you ten, and six bonus symbols net you fifteen free spins. If you are lucky enough to hit a wild during the free spins, it expands to take up the whole reel and sticks until the end of the free spins, so one or two of those will go a long way.

Stellar Game

If you love online slots but get tired of the lack of diversity, this one is for you. It is different enough from traditional slots that it feels like a breath of fresh air, but not so different that there is a huge learning curve. The aesthetics and audio are surprisingly good, and the planets are way more detailed than they need to be. When you pair that with two solid bonus features with big-time potential, you get a game you’d be silly not to try.
