Extra Stars Slot Machine

This slot uses the same symbols and basic gameplay as EGT’s popular ‘Hot’ series. The theme is retro, with fruit symbols on the reels and a no-frills playing experience. You will find one unusual quirk, and as the name suggests this is with the star symbols. These are wild, and will expand to cover entire reels. When this occurs, you get a free respin with the now wild reel remaining in place. In addition you will find the EGT progressive jackpots in this game. You will see these accumulating above the reels – the game which allows you to win one of them is triggered randomly. Unusually, this 10 win line slot is configured so that there are 5 win lines from left to right and 5 more from right to left.

While the fruit symbols look back to the very first (mechanical) slot games, the graphics are very sharp for Extra Stars. You will find cherries, oranges, lemons, plums, grapes and melons on the reels – all given a modern overhaul with detailed shading and vivid colours. When you hit a winning combination, flame effects occur. This is the same as the ‘Hit’ series (for example 40 Super Hot or Burning Hot). Sounds include the familiar double-click when the reels stop and lively sounds when you hit a winning combination – there is no ambient sound effect or tune playing for this game.

Setup and Play for Extra Stars

Win-lines go in both directions, which can take a few minutes to get used to if you are more familiar with the standard left to right setup. You change these by clicking on bars situated at either side of the reels. The choices are the default 10, 7, 5, 3 or 1. Bet amounts are displayed on 5 pre-set buttons under the reels, these are 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 for the full set of lines. You can bet multiple credits per line if you wish, or use auto play to save you needing to click each time. There is a ‘gamble after win’ option, which brings up a sub-game where you guess the colour of a playing card.

Red 7’s are the single best paying symbol – this pays from 3+ on a line and has a top prize of 2000 coins if you land 5. 4 7’s are worth 1000 coins and 3 gets you 200. Unusually, the banana symbol comes next on the list – at 1000 coins for 5 and down from there. Melons and grapes net you 400 coins for 4, while the other fruits are 300 and below.

There is only one special symbol on the reels – in the form of the golden star. This does not have a prize of its own. Instead it is a wild symbol which substitutes for all of the other symbols to create winning combinations. There are two behaviours associated with the star which make it worthwhile hitting.

First, when this lands it will expand to cover the entire reel in stars (all 3 positions). Winning combinations can come on several lines and will be totalled up. Next you get a respin of the remaining 4 reels – with the wild reel stuck in place. IF you then get another star, the process can repeat, with 2 fully wild reels in place. It is possible to get reels 2, 3 and 4 all wild this way – which can result in big wins from both directions.

Bonus Games for Extra Stars

The only bonus game is the standard progressive jackpot game shared by all EGT slots. Above the reels you will see 4 numbers which are always going up. Each of these is next to a card suit. At random a game will start where you see 12 playing cards, all face down. You click on these which will reveal a queen of a certain suit. Each time you hit a suit, a marker moves up to fill a slot underneath one of the jackpot amounts. When you hit 3 of one suit, then that is the jackpot you will win. While these are not the life-changing amounts you might find on some slots, the windfalls will still be very welcome.

Extra Stars – Summary

This slot is really part of the ‘Hot’ series by EGT, and just has a slightly different name. If you enjoyed the other titles (or like simple and solid games in general) then this may well be one to check out. The main attraction is the combination of expanding wilds and respins.
