Hyper Star is the latest collaboration between Gameburger Studios and Microgaming. It is a Las Vegas inspired slot with plenty of features and a top prize of 7,250x the bet per spin.

About Hyper Star

It’s a highly volatile slot available to play across desktop and mobile devices from 20p up to £40 per spin. The action takes place on 5 reels, 3 rows with 243 ways to win. Beware, it’s highly volatile even with a fair RTP of 96.05%.Designed with Las Vegas and all its glitz and glamour in mind, Hyper Star is not outstanding in terms of originality. Blue reels contain symbols including glitzy card suits, dice, bells, cherries, dollar signs, casino chips and red 7’s, the latter pay 10x for 5 on a payline.The wild is the gold star which only appears on the centre 3 reels, it substitutes all symbols.

Gameplay

The slot utilises the Rolling Reels where winning symbols are removed and new ones replace them, the feature ends when no more wins occur. On each successful trigger a multiplier is active, starting at 1x up to 5x during regular spins and as high as 15x during the free spins.The free spins feature triggers after landing 3 for more free spin symbols. Each trigger awards 8 free spins up to a maximum of 32. The multiplier reel starts off at 3x and more wild symbols are added to the reels.All the wild symbols are collected in a gold pot and the jackpot feature can be triggered at any time. You spin the jackpot wheel to reveal the 3 jackpots, the Mini, Major and Grand which payout 15x, 100x or 5,000x the bet.

Verdict

Hyper Strike is a solid slot with plenty of action throughout. The added twist of wild symbols substituting the scatters give a better chance of triggering the free spins with the higher win multipliers. The top prize of 7,250x the bet plus the jackpots should be enough to tempt players into giving it a spin or two.
