About Starscape
Starscape is a space themed video slot, and one which has been produced by Microgaming. Starscape is not remotely new, though. In fact, it is one of Microgaming’s older video slots. The game features very crude graphics, and a solar system theme, which isn’t out of the ordinary, given its title. The slot is played over 5 reels and 25 lines, with players able to select coin values of 0.01 up to 1.00, and bet as many as 10 of them per line. Minimum and maximum wagers in the Starscape slot range from 0.01 per line, per spin, up to 250.00 per spin, respectively. For that, you can win a non-progressive jackpot worth 70,000 coins in all.
Special Features
There aren’t that many special features ready for you to use in Starscape. The first of these is wild icon. It can double the value of all wins in which it appears, and it also doubles as the jackpot paying symbol in the slot. Starscape logos are these wilds, and they can replace all other symbols in the game with the exception of the scatter icon.
That scatter is the space station. When it appears 3, 4, or 5 times anywhere on the reels, the Starscape Bonus is offered to the player. Players can also pocket scattered wins whenever 2, 3, 4 or 5 scatters appear on the screen. They will bag rewards worth 2x, 3x, 10x, or 100x your total bet for each respective scatter they locate.
These are the only two special symbols which appear in this slot machine game.
Bonus Feature
In Starscape’s bonus round, players must match up symbols to win cash prizes. If they match up 4 of the same symbols, they can win a decent prize worth half of the non-progressive jackpot. This is therefore valued at 37,500 coins. Players can find multipliers in this feature, to further boost their winnings in the bonus round. The bonus round is not relatively complicated, and it is about as simple as you might expect for a slot which is now over a decade old.
Sometimes it is nice to play the old favourites. However, one can’t help but feel that with Starscape, it is perhaps too old to be of any real entertainment, given the amazing array of slot games which Microgaming has developed in more recent times.
