Slot Review: Star Appeal

Do you have what it takes to make it in Hollywood – which is to say, real Star Appeal? Nestled in the hills of Los Angeles, California, Hollywood has been the home of American filmmaking for the last century. From Charlie Chaplin to Marilyn Monroe, from Tom Cruise to Miley Cyrus, the biggest stars of the last hundred years have all flocked to this haven for the rich and famous. The very name
Hollywood” is ubiquitous with glamour, intrigue, fashion, and beauty. The Star Appeal slot game captures all of that with the chance for you to win some cash of your own!

Star Appeal is a five-reel, thirty-payline online slot machine title from Microgaming. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to twenty-five cents, with max coins of three hundred making the highest per-spin wager one of seventy-five dollars. The jackpot is set at a value of five thousand coins, or twelve hundred seventy-five dollars on a maxed-out bet. There is a free practice mode for those players who prefer to take their slots for a test drive without sacrificing their entire bankroll. The small coin values make this a great game for novices and for those who prefer a more conservative approach to their slot play, because you can play this as a penny or nickel slot of you so wish.

The look of this slot game is sheer Hollywood glitz and glamour. The background of the game is a city skyline lit by the waving beams of floodlights and spangled with colorful stars. The sparkle continues onto the reels, where poker symbols done up in shimmering colors make up the majority of the symbols on the reels. The look of the reels is very much like an old-timey marquee all adorned with small lights. Symbols on the reels other than letters and numbers include a pocketbook Chihuahua, a paparazzo, and a film agent.

The beautiful starlet is the wild symbol for this game, meaning that it can stand in for any other symbol on the reels in a winning combination, with the exception of the scatter symbol. The star symbol is the scatter for this exceptional online slot game. You can win the scatter prize without it appearing on a payline, in other words! How many stars you land on the screen during any given spin will determine your payout, which you can figure using the payout table. If you get at least three of these, you will activate the Star Bonus Round Feature game.

The Star Bonus Round is activated with at least three or more scattered star symbols. If you activate this round, you will receive ten free spins with a double multiplier. Nine star symbols on the walk of fame are shown to you. Pick three to win a combined bonus determined by the cumulative amount on all the stars! Doing so will reveal free spins, cash prizes, or even a special feature that can only be unlocked in this fashion. You can retrigger the free spins during any turn in the bonus round.
