Novomatic are one of the biggest developers of online and offline slots and with a Novomatic game you usually know what you’re going to get – a back to basics release which looks polished and plays smoothly. Power Stars is a little different but no less fun to play and it contains a creative feature which marks this out from other games.

Power Stars certainly looks quite basic and it’s a five reel and ten payline slot reminiscent of traditional land-based versions. The dark red background merges into blackness on either side of the reels and all the symbols are familiar fruit such as cherries, lemons, oranges, plums grapes and melons. The most valuable symbols are the bells and the sevens – five sevens on an active payline will win you 100x your total stake.

There’s also a gold star which acts as a wild symbol but which is also the key to the bonus feature.

When you create a winning combination, all symbols involved will burst into flame in an appealing manner. We should also mention here that combos pay from right to left as well as left to right.

Bonus Features

Gold Star Frozen Wild

Novomatic usually serve us up some traditional free spins but this is something a little different. It’s all based around the wild symbol and if you land one on reels two, three or four it will extend across the entire reel. Any wins will be awarded and then you will receive one free spin with the wild reel frozen in place.

In this manner it’s potentially possible to fill all the centre reels with wilds for one more very profitable spin.

Verdict

This may look like a rather basic slot but the frozen wild feature and the fact that the combos also pay right to left means it clips along quite briskly, meaning you never get bored with the proceedings. Worth checking out for some nice graphics also.
