Burning Stars 3

Burning Stars 3 Review

Burning Stars 3 is a game with 3 reels and 3 rows. The game is a complete makeover of another title by Wazdan – Burning Stars. It has no fixed pay-lines and 4 identical symbols anywhere on the 3×3 grid pay instead. Burning Stars 3 has adjustable volatility.

You can use the button with the peppers below the reels and select the low, medium or high level of volatility. This lets you get more frequent but smaller wins, less frequent and moderate payout or occasional big wins. You can play with wagers in the range of 0.10 and 100 credits on smaller screens and desktops.

You also have the option to choose the speed with which you prefer the rounds to be played. Select normal, fast or ultra-fast speed from the button with the animals. The RTP of Burning Stars 3 is 96.12%. The highest achievable win in the base game is 200 times your stake. This comes from a full screen of the most rewarding symbol of the red seven. The jackpot in the bonus game is 2,187 times the stake from 9 sun symbols.

The Design

Burning Stars 3 has a red glowing background with glittering stars in gold as a background. The reels have a dark black-red background and on them can land all kinds of fruit symbols. They look simple and have a 3D effect and glow. There are blazing sun symbols, red 7s and wild logos.

The images are simple without many details. They seem to be not intended to be realistic but rather have a retro feel to them. The soundtrack is atmospheric and very pleasant. A slow melody plays and mixes with the sounds of the stopping reels and wins.

Burning Stars 3 Gameplay

Burning Stars 3 uses a unique system for rewarding. It simply pays for 4 matching symbols regardless of their position on the reels. You will get the highest win per spin. The lowest values have 4 of the fruit symbols: cherries, grapes, lemon and orange. The cherries pay 0.50 to 4x bet for 4 to 9 symbols, the grapes – 0.50 to 6 times the stake for 4 to 9 symbols. The lemon gives you between 0.80 and 8 times your stake, while the orange – from 0.80 to 12 times your stake.

The plum has a payout of 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 15 times the bet. The slice of watermelon is the second most rewarding symbol. It pays between 1.50 to 50 times the stake for 4 to 9 symbols on the same spin. The red 7 is the best player rewarding 2, 4, 8, 15, 40 and 200 times the stake for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 symbols on the same spin.

The wild is the symbol with the word itself and is a paying one. It substitutes for all others except for the bonus symbol. The latter is the image of the blazing sun. Hitting 3 bonus symbols on the same spin in the base game triggers the Hold the Jackpot Bonus.

Burning Stars 3 Features / Bonuses

Burning Stars 3 has a Hold the Jackpot Bonus and a Gamble Feature. Each win you score can be subject to a gamble to try to double the amount. Activate the feature from the button. There are 7 rounds in the Gamble Feature and you have to choose one of the two blazing stars. If you have luck, your selected star won’t get blazed and you will be able to make another try up to 7 times in a row. Choosing the burnt star, however, takes the won sum and returns you to the base game.

You trigger Hold the Jackpot Bonus by getting 3 or more bonus symbols in the base game. The triggering bonus symbols and all others landed during the rounds become sticky on their places. The bonus round gives you 3 respins and each landed bonus blazing sun symbol resets them to 3 again. You can land either blank or bonus symbols. The bonus game ends when you have filled all positions with bonus symbols or run out of respin.

The key to winning big is to keep landing bonus symbols. You will play the Hold the Jackpot Bonus at the same bet and volatility level as the triggering round. At the end of the bonus you will be paid a total of all landed bonus symbols as follows:

• 3 bonus suns = 3x bet win;
• 4 bonus suns = 9x bet win;
• 5 bonus suns = 27x bet win;
• 6 bonus suns = 81x bet win;
• 7 bonus suns = 243x bet win;
• 8 bonus suns = 729x bet win;
• 9 bonus suns = 2,187x bet win;

The Conclusion

Burning Stars 3 is suitable for fans of classic slot machines as well as for those who like modern extras. It gives you enough freedom to adjust the game the way you prefer it. You can even select the volatility choosing from 3 available levels. This is the follow-up of Burning Stars by Wazdan that has undergone many changes.
