Nolimit City Release Shiny New Starstruck Slot
By Shane Addinall Mar 31, 2019 Game ReleaseLovers of classic fruit machines will relish Starstruck, Nolimit City’s latest homage to the classic slot genre! With smooth gameplay, mobile-first design and a €100,000 jackpot, this 3x3 highly volatile slot is more than meets the eye!Throughout history there have been experiences, movements if you will, which appeal to deep seated aspects of who we are as individuals, and even as a collective. That longevity and broad base appeal is a reason these things become labelled “classics”, be they classic cars, films or slot machines. classic slots have stood the test of time, still having an amazing following today, and Nolimit City have added to that roster with their latest release, Starstruck slot.
Shiny New Take On A Classic Genre
Nolimit City have taken the look, feel and sound design of classic fruit machines and updated them in Starstruck bringing into the 21st Century with high gloss graphics and crisp clean sounds.
Take a moment to listen before spinning the reels and you’ll hear that Starstruck’s 3x3 game is set against the backdrop of a casino floor with murmured conversations, occasional greetings and recognisable casino sounds filling up the “room”, while an unassuming pop tune serves as the backing track to the entire experience. This will also help you recognise the blurred background image, the bright neon lights of other slot machines.
While the concept is vintage the designs are sharp, high resolution takes on the classic elements. They did however get a little heavy handed with the polish. Every design element, from the logo to the symbols and even the actual slot machine, have been made to look so polished they appear almost wet.
Spinning the reels will reveal an unsurprising set of base game symbols. There are 8 classic fruit slots symbols: Diamond, Watermelon, 3x Bar variants (triple, double, single), Spade, Club and Heart. There is also an X Wilds symbol which has its own special feature which sees the X become a randomised win multiplier. The final symbol on the Starstruck slot is the purple star Bonus symbols – and this one holds the key to a massive 1000x your bet jackpot payout!
Fun & Fruity Slots Entertainment
Game play is incredibly smooth, and the layout and menu system show that Nolimit City have a clear mobile-first design philosophy with all major elements being either on screen or set to easily finger pressable buttons.
Rather than have your search through menus to find the symbol payout list Starstruck has it as a permanent fixture on the left side of the game screen. As you increase or decrease you bet through the available €0.20 to €100.00 per spin options the payout schedule adjusts with it. This allows you to instantly manage your stake to payout ratio for each spin.
Besides the addition of the payout schedule tracking winning combinations is easy as the game offer 5 fixed paylines and given its 3x3 format you can only ever get a maximum of 3 symbols – anything less is a non-winning spin, simple as that. While simple it is volatile, with a 96.1% RTP and a €100,000 grand prize up for grabs that comes as no surprise.
1. Starstruck Feature
With its 3x3 layout the middle symbol on the middle reel is considered Starstruck slots ‘hot zone’. Landing a Bonus symbol in the area will trigger the Starstruck Feature. This feature game is a Pick and Click game where you uncover hidden Win Multipliers.
The multipliers on offer range from a mere 5x your stake up to an amazing 1000x your stake, which at the €100 per spin max bet payouts €100,000!
Be sure not to delay your selection though, if you wait longer than 20 seconds to make a pick the game will automatically select for you.
2. Multiplying Wild feature
Wilds are always highly valued symbols in any slot machine but in Starstruck they come with a special twist. They always spin as a stack of 5 Wilds. These can stacked Wilds are randomly assigned one of three multipliers: x2, x3 or x5
These Wilds can appear in all three reels and having multiple Multiplying Wilds in a winning combination will see them multiply each other, creating exponential win increases! There is one caveat to this Wild madness, the x5 Multiplier will only ever appear on the middle reel.
Are You Starstruck?
Nolimit City have created a lovely homage slot that fans of the classic fruit machines will love, especially more mature gamblers who feel most fruit slots don’t offer high enough jackpots. If that’s you then you will love Starstruck, it plays well, oozes that classic slot charm and definitely holds out for those high volatility big wins!
