Star Gods

Delve into Chinese mythology that dates back to the Ming Dynasty on the slot from Golden Rock Studios, powered by Microgaming. Star Gods brings Fu, Lu and Shou to a set of slot reels to spread good fortune and big wins of up to 1,800 times your stake. A Win Respins feature as well as a bonus round with only win spins will be your path to prosperity.

Slot Details

Star Gods is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 10 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded both ways for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right and from right to left. These can be in combination with wild symbols. You can delve into Chinese mythology on desktop or mobile from 0.10 to 20 credits per spin. Some operators might offer bet sizes of up to 200 credits. The game has medium volatility with an RTP of 95.97%.

The visuals are all that you can imagine from a Chinese themed slot. A serene country scene on a sunny day with a lily pond in the centre and temples and mountain caps in the distance provide a fitting background to the wooden framed game window. The reels are spinning on scroll-like strips while an Asian soundtrack completes the slot design.

The pay symbols start at the low end with lucky coins in bronze, silver, gold and green colours, awarding 3x to 4x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are followed by red packets, lucky cats, and a Chinese gong at the high end. Hit five on a line to win 6x to 30x your bet.

A golden star is the wild symbol, expanding into Fu, Lu and Shou, the Chinese gods of prosperity, status and longevity, when it lands on reels two, three and four and substitutes for all regular pay symbols. A golden ingot acts as the scatter, appearing on reel one only.

Star Gods Slot Features

You need to go back to the times of the Ming Dynasty to look for the first appearance of the three star gods. To this day, their statues are displayed at temples, shrines, homes and businesses in the order Fu, Lu and Shou from left to right. Golden Rock Studios made the three deities the focus of their next creation to be hosted on Microgaming’s Quickfire platform.

Landing one or more star wilds on the centre reels in one spin will trigger a Win Respin. The star will expand into a reel-tall wild and transform into its respective star god – Fu on reel two, Lu on reel three and Shou on reel four. The reels will then spin again and again until a win lands. Any further wild landing will add another Win Respin. Any potential wins are evaluated after every respin and accumulated until the end of the feature. The feature will conclude if a scatter lands on reel one or after a final respin when all three star gods land in a sequence.

Hitting an ingot scatter together with at least one wild in a spin will trigger the Win Spin feature. Two win spins are awarded, yeah, you read that right. The triggering wilds remain stacked and are locked in place for the duration of the feature. Any further wild landing will also expand and stay sticky as well as adding another win spin, while hitting an ingot scatter on reel one will retrigger two additional win spins. All free spins will deliver a win, no matter how small or large.

Final Verdict

While Star Gods is nothing revolutionary, it is out of the ordinary. While players look forward to lots of free spins in a bonus round, they forget that many are actually dead spins. So having guaranteed Win Spins in the feature might not be such a bad option. The overall win potential is unfortunately not out of the ordinary and comes in at a rather low 1,800 times bet when all stars align in a bonus round to hit stacked premiums repeatedly on both outer reels together with the three stacked wild Star Gods in the centre. No easy feat, but what can go wrong when you have Fu, Lu and Shou at your side, right?
