9 Burning Stars Review

It’s well established by now that Wazdan likes to add a cosmic flavor to many of their games, and 9 Burning Stars™ is no exception. It reminded us of some previous releases, but original twists have been added as is usually the case with this developer. The 3x3 grid is set in front of what looks like the surface of the sun, and you can choose your preferred volatility and pace.

Multiplier symbols up to x10 can boost base game wins, but the main attraction is definitely the Hold the Jackpot bonus game. Collector symbols can boost their total accumulated prize by up to x9, and you get one such symbol that accumulates all the triggering values. Filling the grid awards the 1,500x Grand Jackpot, and this is the most you can win in this game.

9 Burning Stars™ Slot Features

You win by landing 5 matching symbols anywhere in view, and this awards between 0.2 and 10 x your stake depending on the symbol type. In addition, you can land Multiplier Symbols of x2, x3, x5, x7 and x10, and these multiply the total win accordingly.

Cash symbols are marked off on the corresponding position on the Bonus Matrix seen on the left, and a full Bonus Matrix triggers the Hold the Jackpot Bonus Game. The cash symbols come with values between 1x and 15x, and all the triggering bonus matrix cash values are accumulated onto the Matrix Collector symbol at the center of the bonus round grid.

You start with 3 re-spins, and any new bonus symbol that appears becomes sticky as well.

In addition, new sticky bonus symbols reset the respins tally to 3 again each time, and the feature goes on until you run out of respins or fill the grid with bonus symbols. You can land multiple instances of the 3 jackpot symbols, and they pay 20x (Mini), 50x (Minor) and 150x (Major).

In addition, you can land several special symbols. The Collector symbol accumulates all present cash values onto itself, and boosts the total by a random multiplier of x1 to x9. Mystery symbols transform into any other bonus symbol as the feature ends, while the Jackpot Mystery Symbols turn into the Mini, Minor or Major jackpot symbol.

All winnings are summed up and paid when the feature ends, and you win the Grand Jackpot of 1,500x your stake if you manage to fill all 9 positions with bonus symbols. This is the game’s win cap, so the rest of your winnings are forfeited if you fill the grid.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can hit the shopping cart button to buy 4 different tiers of the bonus round:

• Low volatility - costs 50x, and starts you off with a center position Collector symbol worth 9x to 100x.
• Standard volatility - costs 100x, and gives you a starting mystery symbol in addition to the Collector symbol.
• High volatility - costs 200x, and this adds a jackpot mystery symbol to the mix.
• Extreme volatility - costs 400x, and awards 2 jackpot mystery symbols, a regular mystery symbol and the accumulation symbol.

Review Summary

We have seen similar things from Wazdan before, and the cosmic-inspired presentation is typical for this developer as well. 9 Burning Stars™ allows you to set your preferred pace and volatility from 3 settings, as usual, and you can win up to 100x your stake from a single base game spin. This requires the x10 multiplier symbol though, so larger payouts will come from the Hold the Jackpot bonus round.

The feature starts you off with a Collector symbol that absorbs all the value from the triggering symbols, which means 9 to 100 x your stake is the guaranteed minimum win. There aren’t more than 8 extra positions to fill, so many times you will get close to the 1,500x Grand Jackpot. We’ve seen larger max wins from this developer before, but 9 Burning Stars™ is still a pretty decent installment in the niche Wazdan has carved out for themselves.

Pros

• Choose pace and volatility from 3 settings
• Multiplier symbols up to x10
• Hold the Jackpot w/ modifier symbols
• Win up to 1,500x your stake

Cons

• Pretty similar to previous releases
