Inferno Star from Play'n GO: Slot Review - step into the light!

Buckle up and blast off into space in this exciting fruit machine themed online slot from acclaimed software studio Play’n GO! Fruit machine based games are ten a penny these days with so many different variations to choose from as they take you on a trip down memory lane with some classic retro gaming action. This latest one invites players to the far reaches of space where a burning sun is key to winning big cash prizes on the reels. Read on to find out if this new fruit machine based slot has what it takes to stand out from the rest?

Inferno Star is a 5 reel slot with 5 paylines that includes Respins. Sticky Scatters, and a Gamble Mode.

Special Features

Inferno Star features a range of classic fruit machine symbols that players have become more than accustomed to over the years. These include Grapes, Lemons, Plums, Cherries, Watermelons, Apples, and a scorching hot Sun. Speaking of the Sun, keep your eyes peeled for this symbol as it is one of the most rewarding symbols in the game. For instance, land 5 of these symbols on an active payline and you’ll be leaving space behind with a nice cash prize worth 500X your stake!

An image of a red hot Sun that looks like it is about to explode is the Scatter symbol in this game. When this symbol appears on reel 3 then you will trigger the Raging Sun Respins feature. Once in this feature, the centre reel along with any other reel containing a Scatter symbol will lock into place while the other reels respin. In addition to the reels respinning, all new Sun symbols that appear will also transform into Scatters. If you land at least 1 Sun symbol then you will be awarded another respin with this feature continuing until no new Sun symbols appear on the reels or if you manage to fill each reel with one of these symbols. It is also here where you can win the top prize which is a whopping 2,500X your stake that can be won by landing 5 Sun symbols on the reels.

The last feature to discuss is the optional Gamble Mode which triggers whenever you land a win. In this fun but risky bonus game, you get to choose the colour of a playing card. Guess correctly and your win is automatically doubled. For those that fancy even more of a gamble, you can choose to predict the suit of the card and if you are successful here then you will quadruple your prize! You can play the Gamble round up to 5 times in succession and up to a limit of 2,500 coins.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The presentation of the game is visually superb as it's set in front of a sizzling hot sun that looks like it is about to flare up at any minute. Symbols in this slot are based on classic fruit machine symbols and consist of Watermelons, Grapes, Lemons, Apples, Plums, Cherries, along with an image of a sizzling hot Sun. Each symbol is beautifully designed and looks good enough to eat apart from the Sun of course! The animations are worth mentioning too as symbols fly down the reels and are highlighted by a bright white glow when part of a winning combination.

The music is suspenseful with a light techno soundtrack used throughout. It works really well with the Space theme of the game.

Our Verdict on Inferno Star

Top software developer Play’n GO created this slot and it is one fruit machine themed slot we really enjoyed playing. It features bright and colourful visuals, exciting gameplay, and a very small but decent amount of bonus features. It’s great that you can win up to 2,500X your bet here but achieving this feat is a long slog as this game is Highly volatile so you will have to endure plenty of dry spins before eventually landing a decent cash payout. The Gamble feature is also an interesting addition to this slot but a word of warning, make sure to collect if you go on a hot streak here as if you guess a card incorrectly then you will be taken back to the main game without any winnings to show for it. For slots with a similar Space theme, check out Joker Gems and Starburst.

Respin your way to scorching hot wins on the reels when you play Inferno Star!
