Inferno Star

We’re not usually enchanted by fruit slots, but wow, this is something else! Leave it to Play’n’Go to take some of the most generic symbols ever and transform them into a visual feast.

Get real familiar with them, dear reader. Because only with their aid will you be able to win the jackpot of your dreams.

Inferno Star Slot Review

Inferno Star is played on a five reel board, where each reel is three icons high. There are a total of five fixed paylines, which is incredibly annoying when stretched to reels of this size. Collect three or more identical symbols in adjacent positions to win, starting with the leftmost reel. All wins must follow one of the active paylines, or else the cash prize won’t be awarded.

If the Scatter lands on reel three, it triggers the re-spins mode. All Sun icons are held in place while the remaining reels spin again. New re-spins are granted so long as new Sun symbols appear on the board. If no new Suns appear, the game’s sole special feature ends rather unceremoniously. We’d be disappointed, if it weren’t for the 2500x jackpot this bonus provided!

Theme & Symbols

We love the graphics, but there’s no getting around the lack of theme. This Play’n’Go release is guided by the rule of cool! If you like your slots with a bit of an immersion factor, then Inferno Star probably won’t cut it for you. But if all you want out of your games are awesome visuals, then you’ll be blown away by the intro alone!

The background image is a close-up of a massive sun, complete with the orange afterglow it produces. You can see its gaseous surface shifting, and the bare hints of outer space of the edges of the screen. It looks absolutely stunning. It goes to show that even a simple idea can be awesome, if it’s done well. And this is done well times ten!

Icon design is top notch. These have to be some of the best looking fruit symbols we have ever seen. If fruit looked this good in real life, we guarantee most people won’t have any trouble keeping a healthy diet! Joining these delicious fruits are two pairs of stars! One is a regular icon that blows the fruits out of the water in terms of value. And the other is a Scatter which does the same to the other Sun symbol!

How to Play Inferno Star

Play’n’Go’s release is played on a 5×3 board with 5 fixed paylines. And that’s one of our main gripes with Inferno Star. Why such a low number of winlines? Why not bump it up to ten, make it a little more bearable? With only five paylines, landing any kind of decent win can be tedious. Expected from a high volatility slot, but still annoying.

Now, if you had a creeping suspicion that this game feels a lot like NetEnt’s Starburst, you’d be right. Until we got to the special features, you could argue plausible deniability. Wins are less frequent, and the winning potential isn’t as insane. But then you get to the re-spins bonus, and the inspiration becomes unavoidable. Play’n’Go’s release even makes it a bit obvious by making it the only special feature.

Inferno Star doesn’t bother with coins and translating them into cash prizes. What you see on the betting bar beneath the reels is what you’re spending. Players can spend as little as €0.05 per spin, which is a fair asking price for five fixed paylines. Alternatively, your maximum stake goes up to €100 on each spin. Which makes for an awesome prize if you manage to score the 2500x jackpot.

Bonus Features

There’s only one special feature, and that’s the re-spins round. If you’re hoping to win big, you’ll have to make use of this bonus to its full extent. And how do you do that? We’re glad you asked!

• Raging Sun Re-spins

When the Scatter lands on the third reel, it triggers the re-spins. All Sun icons are held in place, while the reels spin again. If a new Sun pops up on the board, then it’s also frozen in place, and another re-spin is played. This continues until the reel is full of Sun symbols, or no more Suns appear. After that, winning combinations are awarded, and the special feature ends.

Inferno Star Payouts

This game has a high volatility and a jackpot worth 2500x your total stake. Play’n’Go’s release has an RTP of 96.38%, which is above the current industry average.
