Stars of Orion

As the title suggests, Stars of Orion from ELK Studios takes players on an original and highly lucrative adventure. The slot is set in a Stonehenge-style setting with monoliths covered in lintels and other materials. The location allows you to see the sunrise and sunset at specific points. In the background, the stars illuminate a rather dark place with clearly two pillars on the right and left side. Regarding the grid configuration, it has 8 reels, 6 rows and a cluster payout.

Layout

Compatible on all devices, the slot machine is accessible from $0.20 to $100 per spin. Highly volatile, it produces winning combinations with at least 5 matching symbols placed on any position. Wins activate an avalanche system by filling the magic counter. In terms of the mathematical model, the payout rate is 95%.

As far as the available symbols are concerned the selection includes four colored orbs, as well as birds, wolves, deer and 7’s. The latter represent high value symbols. In addition, wildcards appear on the screen in place of other payout symbols. Eventually, a group of wildcards is created that awards the same values.

Features

Cascading Wins

First, the avalanche mechanism works in the same way, but by triggering the gravity formula. The sequence continues until no new wins occur.

Super Symbols

Next, there are Super Symbols wrapped in blue frames that enter a win. When they appear, the other winning symbols become super symbols. As for the magic counter, it is located on the right side of the game grid and collects the symbols. Winning multipliers from x2 to x64 are activated as well as additional features like:

• Swap symbol: it forms winning clusters,
• Orion’s Belt: 3 wild symbols,
• Orion’s Club: 6 wild symbols,
• Orion’s Shield: 8 wild symbols,
• Orion: 13 wild symbols.

Free Drops

Getting three bonus symbols triggers 10 free drops leading to the progression of the Magic Meter. The player has the opportunity to enjoy bonus symbols intervening with a red frame. These are the super bonus symbols that award 10 free drops.

X-iter feature

The X-iter feature allows you to buy certain features:

• Guaranteed win: for 5 times your stake you can buy a winning spin.
• Super symbols: for 10 times your stake you can buy a spin with a higher probability of Super Symbols.
• Symbol swap: for 50 times your stake you can buy a spin in which the Symbol Swap feature takes place when no more winning combinations can be made. This then produces a new winning combination, so the waterfall mechanism takes place and the spin is not yet over.
• Buy bonus: for 100 times your stake you can buy the free spins feature.
• Super bonus: for 500 times your stake you can buy the Super free spins feature.
