5 Star Knockout is the sequel to popular slot All Stars Knockout, developed by Northern Lights Studios exclusively for Microgaming. This retro inspired slot delivers Win Spins, scatters and a Bonus star feature.

About 5 Star Knockout

Available to play across desktop and mobile devices, this medium variance slot is played on 5 reels with 20 paylines and has an RTP of 96.09%. Spins range between 20p and £100 and it comes with a top prize of 4,500 x the bet.The design is rather lacklustre compared to other classic style slots. On the reels are the low value card suits, red, silver and blue 7’s and five, star logos and the star scatter.

Gameplay

The focus of the game is the awards meters located below the reels. Star scatters landing are collected and added to the meters. You need 5 stars to fill a meter awarding 5 free spins. All instances of the symbol from the meter are removed from the reels for the duration of the spins. Each full meter sees another symbol removed and another 2 free spins are given. A random multiplier worth up to 5x is applied to all wins.The bonus Star feature triggers when the award meters are empty, a random number of stars are added to the meters to help activate the free spins.The Win Spin feature, also activated at random and awards a respin. The respins continue if you land more winning combinations.

Verdict

The design of 5 Star Knockout isn’t exactly attractive, however the game relies on the collection of stars filling the meters for access to the free spins. The most you can win in the base game is 100x the bet which is disappointing, you need to access the free spins in the hope of winning the top prize of 4,500x the bet.
