Super Star Turns is developed by Barcrest and powered by SG Digital. Unlike numerous video slots that take inspiration from ancient civilisations, space, fantasy or adventure, Super Star Turns pays homage to classic television game shows. The interface can hardly be any flashier than it is – the theme is vibrant and colourful and not for those who tend to see such content as disorienting. The idea is to evoke luxury, but the execution is a bit problematic, although it can be fun seeing symbols such as champagne bottles being opened up, red sports cars and stacks of cash on the reels even if it’s against a backdrop of a psychedelic television show studio.
The slot benefits from 5 reel, 3 rows and 40 paying lines. Above the reels, you’ll see three wheels of fortune whose role is reserved for the special features in the game. The controls are on the side which is a nice change from the conventional below-the-reels position and the users can easily spin the reels, turn specific functions on or off or visit the paytable. Standard paying card symbols pay smaller amounts than theme-related symbols, and the Wild pays the most.
The Scatter is the game’s logo; three of them are needed to activate the Super Star Turns bonus, and that leads to getting one spin on the Green Wheel. Blue Wheel gets unlocked with 4 Scatters and the Red Wheel with 5 of a kind. One spin on any of the wheels will award a prize: a wheel upgrade, free spins or cash. Players can earn up to 50 freebies and up to 500x the total bet in cash. Those lucky enough to play a round of free spins, will execute them on a reel set without the low-value symbols Q, K and A. Also, the Scatter will land in stacks on the fifth reel, adding 1, 2 or 3 additional free spins.
The Big Bet is available and can be manually activated at any point of the game. Each Big Bet session includes 5 spins of the reels and affects the overall RTP percentage. It’s the features that save the Super Star Turns game, as it is not the most graphically advanced of the lot. The music can get overwhelming at times, but TV game shows often do have cheesy music like that.
All in all, Super Star Turns slot is not for everyone. It’s a fine option for high rollers and gamers who are on the lookout for something risky and flashy. Super Star Turns is not about a cool story, it’s all about tactical wagering and over-the-top music. Try it on a mobile device, as a smaller screen may soften the blow and decrease the visual and audio impact of such an imposing slot.
