Star Dust

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 4 March 2024

This online video slot will have you looking up at the silver stars in an entirely new way. Star Dust, as the name suggests, is set in outer space. It is powered by Microgaming and hosts a science-fiction theme which is evident by the graphics and sound effects. Star Dust comes with features such as free spins, a wild symbol and two bonus rounds. You can win up to 2,500x your bet and players can spin the reels from 40p to £100 per spin. With 5 reels and 40 paylines, it shouldn’t take players too long to get into the swing of things.

Theme

With an obvious science-fiction theme, Star Dust has a kind of retro arcade feeling to it, as reflected through the games graphics and upbeat sound effects. It has a basic design in terms of reels and gameplay but with a captivating space background, complete with stars and planets, Star Dust definitely does not disappoint. The icons on the reels include four coloured gems including gems in orange, green, yellow and blue as well as the Star Dust logo and the galaxy icon. The remaining symbols are that of playing cards such as 10, J, Q, K and A.

Gem Free Spins

There is a meter on the right hand side of the reels. Keep your eyes on this one because each time a galaxy icon finds its way to reel 3, it takes gems from surrounding reels which are added to the meter. Once filled to the top, you will receive 10 to 13 free spins and a generous payout.Once the free spins have been triggered you will be taken to a new reel structure consisting of 1024 paylines. This boosts your chances of getting a winning combination which is great news for all players. Radiant re-spins is another bonus game but is only included as part of the original free spins game. This symbol gains free spins when you land a three or four symbol win.
