Rocket Stars

Rocket Stars Review

A developer has crafted a distinctive and captivating world populated by rabbit-like creatures. In Rocket Stars, you'll assist 5 of them in constructing a supersonic rocket for a journey into deep space. The reels showcase space-themed items, with the characters actively participating in the project.

The game features 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 ways to win. Bets range from 10p to £200 per spin, playable across various platforms. The game's RTP is 96 %, representing an average. This slot falls under medium to high volatility, with a 47 % hit frequency. The bonus round is expected roughly every 138th spin, and a random feature appears approximately every 39th spin.

The core gameplay revolves around building the rocket, which triggers the free spins feature. Accumulating 30 scatter symbols is required. The rocket's progress is visible on the left side of the reels. The unlimited progressive multiplier in the bonus round seems promising, but the estimated maximum win potential is 2,174x your stake, which is somewhat low given the volatility.

What symbols are there?

The atom-shaped scatter/wild symbol is central to the game. It's also the highest-paying symbol, along with the space helmet designed for the characters. Premium symbols are space-related, while lower-value symbols are colored buttons. Wins require 3 to 5 matching symbols. The paytable is as follows:

• Atom scatter/wild - Pays 25x for 5 anywhere
• Space helmet - Pays 25x for 5 on a payline
• Space pod - Pays 22x for 5 on a payline
• Space boots - Pays 20x for 5 on a payline
• Space glove - Pays 17x for 5 on a payline
• Red button - Pays 12x for 5 on a payline
• Blue button - Pays 7x for 5 on a payline
• Purple button - Pays 5x for 5 on a payline
• Green button - Pays 3.5x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

The space gate scatter and wild symbol is key. This symbol acts as a wild, substituting for regular symbols to maximize winnings. Landing 3, 4, or 5 anywhere on the reels awards scatter wins of 1.5x, 8x, or 25x, respectively.

Importantly, the scatter/wild is collected in a bonus meter on the left. This is how the rocket is built. Regular bonus features are explained before delving into the bonus round.

During the base game, 5 or 6 star gates can randomly land on the reels, covering regular symbols. These transform into matching symbols, including the scatter/wild. This mystery symbol feature can lead to decent wins and trigger the bonus round.

A group of space gate symbols can form a giant 3x3 block on the middle reels. These symbols then become matching symbols, including the scatter/wild. This can result in larger wins, and landing the scatter adds 9 to the meter.

Free spins in Rocket Stars

The rocket is built on the ramp to the left of the reels. Scatter symbols are collected in a meter below the ramp. The rocket needs 30 scatters to be completed. This triggers the free spins bonus round, awarding 10 spins as the characters board the rocket and launch into space.

The rocket and reels travel through space, and each scatter landed grants an extra free spin and increases the unlimited progressive multiplier by 1x. After the bonus round, winnings are multiplied by the accumulated multiplier.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

The developer has not included a jackpot, but you can still win decent amounts. After a 500 million spin simulation, the maximum win in the free spins bonus round was 2,174x your stake. In contrast, the maximum win in the base game was 110x your stake, making the bonus round essential. With the maximum stake of £200, you can win up to £434,800 during the free spins.

Review Verdict

The developer has successfully created a unique world with Rocket Stars. The base game features provide support, but the bonus round is necessary for significant wins. The objective is to build the rocket and journey into space, with the rocket's progress being motivating. The progressive multiplier can lead to payouts, but the potential is not extraordinary given the medium to high volatility.
