Triple Star Slot
Discover the tricks of the witch's trade in this nifty little mobile slot machine by Wazdan software. The game has 5 reels with the choice to play with up to 10 paylines, meaning that the wins aren't going to come around with every spin of the slot. Nonetheless, players can count on their lucky stars with a special star symbol that acts as an expanding wild, granting the punter a free re-spin for extra winning chances.
Potion Commotion
Triple Star is an odd little game indeed. That is because there is no particularly explicit theme, other than the fact that the game is set within in what seems like a den of a witch or wizard, filled with all sorts of props and tools for potions and incantations. Those items include pyramid shaped totems, jars filled with jellied eyeballs, vases of bright blue liquid, a jittering broomstick and a levitating book of magic spells.
However, these objects only appear in the background of the game, meaning that the reels themselves are filled with a series of icons that, quite frankly, don't inspire much from the imagination. Those icons include the standard playing card values (9, 10, J, Q, K and A) as well as a few other classic slot machine symbols such as bells and lucky 7s.
Easy on the Eye
Visually, the game is very easy on the eye. As we mentioned, the setting appears to be that of a sorcerer’s workroom, but it is far from being dank and dingy. Instead, the environment is relatively bright with deep rich red, strong wooden furnishings and cosy candlelight. Apart from the odd cobweb here and there, we'd have to say that this magical inhabitant upkeeps his or her house very well. Triple Star also makes good use of animation and sound effects to give the game a ghoulish and uncanny atmosphere.
Conjure up Some Wins
Spinning these reels doesn't require any magical incantations, but it will require punters to select their desired wagers and number of active paylines. There are up to 10 paylines available to be triggered while the range of bets per line vary from as little as 0.01 to as much as 10.00 credits, meaning that the maximum possible stake could be 100.00 credits. With your bets in place, you simply need to spin the reels and hope that some of the following symbol combinations line up from left to right on the active paylines:
In case you haven't got your calculator handy, this game has the potential to pay out a top line bet jackpot of 10,000 coins. That sounds like magic to us!
Broomstick Bonus
This slot machine has a fairly simple theme, and it also has quite a limited range of bonus features. That is because the only icon that is bestowed with any magical powers is the Triple Star symbol. This special icon appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, but when it does show up, it has the potential to complete winning sequences by substituting for all other symbols on the reels.
What's more, when this wild star icon appears, it will expand across all three vertical spaces on the reel. That means that there will be a chance for multiple paylines to be activated at once for even bigger prize hauls. Plus, that expanded wild will be held in position and a free re-spin will be activated, just in case you wanted another chance to win some bonus bounty.
Ready for Mobile
Perhaps an excuse for the simplistic nature of this slot machine is the fact that is is optimised to be played on mobile phones. Therefore, players can expect to find a user interface that is designed for finger taps and thumb swipes, with precious little room for any extravagant design features or unnecessary characters.
Worth a Spin?
Don't get us wrong, this slot machine is not poorly designed. In fact, the Triple Star is up there with the best contemporary video slots in terms of clarity and aesthetic appeal. It's just that we can't help but feel that the game could offer more to elaborate on the theme of witchcraft and wizardry.
Even so, the game is still very potentially rewarding to play, with a top jackpot of 10,000 coins up for grabs and a nifty wild icon that will expand and start a free re-spin. At least the wins might deliver a bit of magic!
