Star Bounty

Play a game that’s quite literally out of this world with Star Bounty from Pragmatic Play. Beautiful graphics will see you drawn into a sci-fi cum fantasy realm, with a game background that looks almost Asgardian in its design. But don’t stare dreamily at the background for too long because the hot action is taking place on the reels and you’ll soon be whipped off to another part of the dimension where you’ll be travelling at warp speed through space. Fans of this genre will enjoy the immersive design and will be itching to get the reels spinning to collect the intergalactic goodies on offer!

Pragmatic Play is an award-winning software provider that has more than 200 HTML5 games available to play. Wild West Gold was released in 2020 and was a big hit, building on the success of previous Wild West themed games such as Mustang Gold. Their catalogue offers players the chance to dive right into whatever they fancy with other titles such as Release the Kraken, the Dog House and Dance Party. Quite a diverse range to choose from!

But if your interest lies in the universe and beyond, then Star Bounty is the online slot to head for first. If you recall the 1980s hit quiz show Blockbuster, you might get a sense of deja vu when you first see the game. Ignoring the traditional layout, Pragmatic Play have opted for an unusual honeycomb effect, but the overall goal is the same as usual: match up the symbols along the pay lines. The min bet is 0.20, but as you can alter the number of coins, as well as the value of the coins, there’s a lot of flexibility about how much you wager. You can increase the stake right up to100.00 with a potential maximum payout of 25,000.00. The hexagonal tiles are arranged across six offset reels, and there are a total of 4096 ways to win. All of these are in play with every spin, so there are plenty of chances to hit a winner.

Feature Symbols

The reels are a combination of the usual J, Q, K, A card symbols as well as lots of space and sci-fi themed images. You’ll need to match at least three across a pay line, from left to right, to bag a winner but the more you match, the larger the payout. Match all six to get the biggest win; if you’re in luck, you might land the male space captain, the highest paying symbols on the board.

You’ll also benefit from a lucrative tumble feature which is included in regular gameplay. If you land a win on the reels, the matching symbols will be removed, and the rest of the tiles will fall to the bottom of the board. The spaces will be filled by new tiles falling from above – and if this creates more matches, the process will be repeated until there are no more matches on the reels.

There are wilds on the reels, just as you’d expect with most modern online slots. This is a multi-colored gem emblazoned with the word “WILD” so you can’t really miss it! It will appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and can replace any of the other symbols apart from scatters.

Bonuses and Jackpots

There isn’t a jackpot game included in Star Bounty but land three or more scatters and you’ll unlock the free spins feature. This begins with a Respins preamble which has the potential to increase the number of free spins up to a maximum of24. It works by locking the scatter symbols on the reels and respinning until no new scatters are added. The number of scatters determines how many free spins you’ll receive. Once this pre-game extra has finished, the main free spins bonus will begin.

As an added extra, there is an additional type of unique wild which triggers the Missile Feature. Whenever missile wilds land on reels 2, 3 or 4 they will randomly fire and turn an unspecified number of symbols into wilds. If you land the missile feature during free spins, you might notice they have a multiplier attached. This will bump up your winnings further!

Play Star Bounty at PartyCasino

Star Bounty is another fun entry from Pragmatic Play that you can find at our online casino, PartyCasino. With a return to player percentage of 96.6%, it has an average payout, but if you’re looking for the big wins, it’s the volatility you need. Star Country has very high volatility so the payouts will come along less frequently but could be much higher. With a top prize of x25,000 theoretically possible, it may feel like a high payer. However, you’ll only achieve the big money if you manage to trigger all 24 free spins and score x1000 on each! Even without a true bonus game, the play is varied and entertaining, so it’s another hit from the Pragmatic Play team that’s well worth a look.
