Stars Ablaze Slot

You could be forgiven for thinking that a slot game called Stars Ablaze would be an epic sci-fi adventure. In fact, this 5 reel, 5 payline title from Playtech is a classic fruit machine reboot. Look out for the special bonus round where picking fruit can deliver some very tasty prizes. Play, on all devices, from 5p per spin.



The set up in Stars Ablaze will be recognisable to anyone who has ever shoved 10p into a fruity at a pub, chip shop or seaside arcade. The plain white reels are made up of a selection of classic fruit machine imagery.

You’ll see cherries which award up to 40 coins per payline, lemons which pay up to 100x and oranges which offer up to 200x. Next come the plums which award 400 coins if you land 5 on a payline, followed by the melon which pays up to 800x. The lucky red 7 awards up to 2,000 coins per line.

The best symbol by far though is the star - land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these in combination and you can look forward to a bumper payout of 15, 100, 500 or 7,500 coins. Helping you to create those winning opportunities is a wild - it can land anywhere on the reels and substitute for all other symbols bar the bonus.

Land that bonus on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin and you’ll trigger the Blazing Bonus feature which is a pick me round. First pick from the 6 lemons - if you land a cash prize, you’ll win that amount and move onto the next level. There you’ll choose from 5 oranges. The process continues with 4 plums, 3 melons and 2 stars coming next. Keep on picking until you find a collect. The further you get, the bigger the potential awards on offer.

Playtech has kept things simple in Stars Ablaze which is a very basic, stripped back fruit machine. The bonus round doesn’t offer much in the way of thrills but can deliver some decent action. That could be said for the game as a whole. Don’t expect anything too fiery. If you’re after a straightforward, old fashioned fruit machine though, you won’t go too far wrong. If you want bonus features, you cannot go wrong with the excellent Age of the Gods – also by Playtech.
