Stellar Ways

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 7 March 2024

Discover the wonders of the galaxy with Stellar Ways, the 2021 slot release from 1×2 Gaming. The top prize is worth x1,500 your wager on this medium variance slot which has an RTP of 96.12%.

Slot details

Available to play across desktop, tablet and mobile devices, this 5 reel slot has 486 ways to win which pays both ways; left to right as well as right to left. Bets start from 10p up to £100 per spin.The design is pretty classic with dark coloured reels surrounded by a luminous blue hazy light against a backdrop of a purple star filled galaxy.Symbols are lower value purple, red, orange, green and blue gems, a red planet and a blue planet.  The latter has the highest value and will pay out x30, x50 or x 70 your wager for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline respectively.

Gameplay

Stellar Ways only offers you one bonus feature, but you can pocket some decent wins here.The wild symbol is the fiery orange planet with the letter W, and can only appear on the 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th reels. But when they do land, they expand and fill the whole reel and then lock into position and award you a respin.Landing further wilds awards you with more respins and if you have been lucky, you will have the centre reels filled with expanded wilds which should see you pocket a nice tidy amount.

Verdict

If you are looking for a fun, uncomplicated game to play, then this will certainly appeal to you. I feel the developers really missed a trick by not having a free spins feature, and if they had added this, it would have made the game more interesting. However, overall I enjoyed the expanding wilds and respins feature, so it’s a decent solid title.
