Hot Stars Slot Machine
Reach for the stars with Hot Stars by FAZI software, a 5-reel video slot which combines the classic fruit machine theme with a fiery phoenix element. As such, this game is sure to appeal to fans of the arcade slot machine design who wouldn’t mind something with a bit of additional flare.
The game also brings a bit of flair in the gameplay department thanks to an expanding wild symbol that triggers a reel re-spin for extra winning chances. The Hot Stars video slot is available to play for real money at Circus Casino with no download needed, where players can make deposits and withdrawals with credit card payments accepted.
A Classic with a Hot Twist
This slot machine isn’t about attractive celebrities, nor is it about the literal burning balls of gas that light up the night sky. The free Hot Stars slot is, however, about the simple pleasures of arcade slot machines, presenting 5 reels that are decorated with some timelessly classic icons, including oranges, plums, lemons, cherries, golden bells, BAR icons, shining stars and lukcy number 7s. However, the game does offer something a little bit out of the ordinary, and it comes in the form of a blazing phoenix symbol. Just like the phoenix birds of legend, this icon will burst into a glorious blaze on the reels whenever it appear on the reels, but more about that later…
As far as aesthetic goes, this game might not have the same cutting edge 3D graphics as the most recent online slots, but it will still catch the eye with some clearly defined symbols and colourful icons. Plus, players will be treated to some fiery animations to mark the passing of a winning combination, which is always handy if you have the autospin game feature turned on.
Ripe Prizes
You can play free online slots all day, but you’ll never be in with a chance to take home some prize money. If you are a gambler who likes to place wagers on the reels, then you will find that this 10-payline slot machine accepts a range of bets from the minimum of 0.10 to the maximum of 40.00 credits. With your stakes on the reels, you simply have to turn the reels and hope that the symbols line up for wins worth up to 1,000x the value of the line bet (that prize is awarded for five lucky 7 symbols). You can review all of the payout multipliers in the paytable.
Admittedly, 10 paylines might not sound like the most generous number of paylines, but this game will actually award prizes in both directions - from right to left as well as from left to right. So, in effect, there are actually 20 different ways to link up the icons and you only have to pay for 10!
Set the Spins on Fire
Another way that this slot machine sets itself apart from the crowd is with its unique bonus gameplay feature. Far from being an extravagantly complicated side game, this gameplay element will simply turn the fiery phoenix into an extended wild which will stick in place for one free reel spin. It’s as simple as that and it keeps the game moving at a nice pace without the need to go to any new game screens or settings.
That said, if you would like to slow things down a bit then you can do so with the double-or-nothing gamble feature. This side game can be activated after every winning spin, offering up the chance to double your prize money from the previous spin by guessing whether a playing card is red or black. Sounds easy, but a wrong guess will mean you lose all of your original prize money and any consequent gamble wins.
Fruity Slots
They say you should eat at least 5 portions of fruit or veg per day, but it sometimes feels like we review at least 5 fruit themed slot machines per day. The fact of the matter is that this classic slot machine style is, was and always will be incredibly popular among the punting public. However, as this slot machine shows, there is scope to change things up a bit and you can enjoy some other unique fruit themed slots such as Cosmic Fruit by Booming Games, Ninja Fruits by Play’n Go,Funky Fruits Farm by Playtech and Fortuna’s Fruits by Amatic.
Fiery Fruits
While Hot Stars might not completely re-invent the reels, it does serve up some fruity spins that are a bit different from your average classic slot machine. With a fiery phoenix icon that will burst into flames for a free re-spin with an extended wild, this slot is sure to appeal to gamblers who like a bit of newfangled gameplay but you don’t particularly fancy embarking on a long-winded bonus quest.
