Burning Stars 3™

Overview Burning Stars 3™

The cutting-edge digital software provider Wazdan has created the latest in its Burning Stars games series with this - Burning Stars 3™. They have taken their familiar game design and added what they call the ‘Hold the Jackpot’ bonus, which adds an extra layer of symbol collecting anticipation that results in a fantastic jackpot prize. This great bonus tops out at an impressive 2,187x your stake. In addition to this exciting bonus (which comes with complimentary free spin resets), Burning Stars also comes with a tremendous theme, which combines familiar fruity symbols with well-rendered space-themed visual cues.

This slot is guaranteed to light your betting fire with multiple bonuses, a rapid 3x3 playing grid and a wild symbol that turns up excitingly often. Unlike other slots, Wazdan also gives you an uncommonly large influence in terms of the customisation of your play. Players can control the speed of the reels, your stake per spin, as well as the volatility. You truly can shoot for the stars with this new game.

Theme and Symbols

Burning Stars 3™ as mentioned in the introduction, has a combination theme. On the one hand, the instantly recognisable fruity symbols give you the familiar sense of playing an old school slot, from the classic age of Vegas-inspired slot machines. On the other, Wazdan has turned up the temperature of the game by setting it in outer space in the proximity of a massive burning star. This outer space fruity theme is rather intense and injects the whole gaming experience with an energy and magnitude that grows its appeal.

The regular symbols are illustrated by the classic fruit symbols that you would see in a slot machine from the 90s. These include grapes, the number 7, lemons, oranges, watermelons and plums. Each of which pays out slightly differently as you can see in the paytable. The other symbols are what dictate the special features for this game, they are the wild symbol and the burning sun symbol. The wild symbol is exactly that, a symbol which is just the word wild in golden writing. The burning sun on the other hand is an animated burning orange ball of gas. This is the game’s scatter symbol and the key to unlocking the Hold the Jackpot feature.

Game Play

Burning Stars 3™ is played on a classic 3x3 format. Scoring wins is as simple as matching the classic symbols across the pay lines from left to right on the board. As is the norm for online slot games, the wild can step in for any symbols apart from the burning sun scatter in order to help players form wins.

The betting range for this slot is from 10p to £100 per spin. To change your bet per spin, players can pick a bet size from the row of bet sizes at the bottom of the board. This same menu has the tools which will allow you to adjust the volatility, engage auto-spins and give you the option of the feature buy bonus. The return to player percentage for Burning Stars 3™ is 96.15%, this is about average for the industry. The volatility as mentioned is determined by the player. The max win for this game, which is accessible via the Hold the Jackpot feature, is an exciting 2,187x your stake on one spin.

Features

During base gameplay, the wild symbol can substitute for any of the symbols apart from the scatter symbol. In doing so it helps to form more wins for the player.

The true action for this slot as you may have gleaned already is in its Hold the Jackpot feature. To trigger this bonus, players must land three scatter symbols (the scorching sun symbol) on a single spin. From this point on, any new bonus symbols that land on the reels will remain frozen to their positions for the duration of the feature. For every one of these symbols that land in the bonus round, the free spins will reset to their initial 3 free spins. The bonus continues until one of two things happen. The board either fills with sun symbols or the free spins count reaches zero.

In addition to resetting the free spins, landing a new symbol on the board when playing the free spins round will grow the win multiplier. This starts at 3x but can reach 2,187x if you fill the entire reels with the special symbol. This is when the grand jackpot is triggered and the mechanism by which you win the top payout.
If you can’t wait to trigger the free spins round organically, there is a buy bonus feature, which allows you to instantly trigger the free spins bonus.

Conclusion

Wazdan has put a great amount of thought into the design of this game. This extends from the innovative theme to the exciting and lucrative features. What makes this slot stand apart from its peers (apart from the Hold the Jackpot feature) though is its level of customisation. Giving players more control in the way they play a game gives them a much greater sense of relaxation, as they know exactly what is likely to happen. That awesome top payout of 2,187x, your stake is also a very attractive factor when considering having a few spins on this game.
