Star Mania Slot – Free Demo
Provider:
Light & Wonder
Two red and gold stars on a line already pay, the Wild never leaves the middle three reels, and three Bonus scatters hand over 20x the stake before the free spins even start. Over 350 spins at 1.00 the two rounds paid 57.80 between them, and the balance still slid from 1,000.00 to 909.00.

Ten Lines, Both Directions
Light & Wonder takes me back to the basics with Star Mania, and as you can likely tell from the look of it, it's a star symbol influenced slot. Light & Wonder has also released a sequel, Starmania 2. Typically, these kind of slot games are frequently linked with comparatively modest payouts. I played 350 spins at a stake of 1.00, and the biggest single spin paid 29.30, or 29.3 times the stake.
There's nothing remarkable about the configuration. It arrives with 5 reels, 3 rows and locked 10 paylines, and punters can wager between €0.10 and €500 per spin, rendering it appropriate for all kind of punters. Wins pay both ways, left to right and right to left along each payline.
Red and Gold Star Pays From Two
On the reels you will notice symbols such as bordered stars in red, purple, green and blue and simple little stars, and the red and gold star is the highest paying regular symbol. The other stars need 3 or more on a line, but the red and gold star pays from just 2 of a kind. It grants you 500 times the line bet for 5 of a kind. For 5 of a kind, the purple and gold star pays 100 times the line bet, the green and blue ones 75 times each, and the plain stars 50 times.
There's a Wild incorporated in the game as well. It substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus scatter. It only lands on reels 2, 3 and 4, however. Starburst is another 10-line game that pays both ways with Wilds only on reels 2, 3 and 4.
Thirty Extra Wilds on Reels 2, 3 and 4
In the base game, watch out for the Bonus scatter symbol. It pays anywhere on the reels, with three worth 20 times the total bet, four 100 times and five 200 times. 3 or more of them will award 10 free spins, and if you hit another 3 during the bonus, you'll be given an extra 10 free spins to bring your count to 20. In my session the round triggered twice, on spins 151 and 274, and neither run retriggered.
In the free spin mode you get additional Wilds. Before each spin they are attached to reels 2, 3 and 4, 30 in total over the 10 spins. My two rounds paid 20.00 each for the three scatters, then 8.50 and 9.30 from the free spins themselves.
What 350 Spins of Star Mania Returned
Star Mania is a simple slot that doesn't feature huge wins. Of my 350 spins, 144 paid something, but 92 of those paid less than the stake. Yet it should not be dismissed.
Minty’s Final Note: In my session the game returned 259.00 of the 350.00 wagered, a session return of 74.0% that took the balance from 1,000.00 to 909.00. It does, in reality, possess a max win potential of 1,000 times the stake.
