Starz Megaways™ is a video slot from Pragmatic Play that takes us upon an adventure deep into the realms of space. This 6 reel game runs on the highly popular Megaways™ gaming engine that is under license from Big Time Gaming, and through its use each reel can hold up to a maximum of 7 symbols. This means there are a potential 117,649 paylines that can be generated on any spin whilst playing Starz Megaways™, with a whopping 10,000x bet up for grabs for luckiest space explorers amongst us.

Our galaxy the Milky Way is the theme for Starz Megaways™, so it's little surprise that the backdrop to the game is one of stars and a big red planet which may just well be Mars. The sounds and music that accompany the game certainly add to the cosmic feel, and the scene for a space adventure has certainly been well set by Pragmatic Play.

Delving into the payable we can see that the lower paying symbols are made up of the coloured planets red, yellow, green, pink, and orange, with pays ranging from 0.1x, up to 0.5x when winning combinations are formed through them. The premium value symbols are gemstones that are coloured pink, blue, red, purple and green, and a 6 of a kind win will pay 0.6x, 0.6x, 0.75x, 1x, and 2.5x respectively. 

Spinning the reels on Starz Megaways™ can take place for as little as €0.20, whilst the highest playable stake comes in at a staggering €100 a play. There are a hugely impressive 10 bet sizes that you can play at ranging from €2 down to the minimum stake, this opens the door for players with all sized budgets to give this slot a try. 

Starz Megaways™ joins a very small group of Megaways™ slots that pays both left to right, and right to left. This has been seen on previous titles that include Slots O' Gold Megaways™ and StarQuest Megaways™. Although there are not too many slots in general that use this format, it does add something a little extra to a game that is limited when it comes to base game action.

As we just mentioned there is very little in the form of base game action when playing Starz Megaways™, the only real feature to mention is the full reel wild that can trigger. This will activate when a wild symbol lands on a reel and helps to form part of a win, it will then expand to the full amount of symbols that are on that reel and help to make additional paylines.

The free spin feature is triggered on Starz Megaways™ when 3 or more bonus scatter symbols land in view during your play on the base game. The more symbols that you trigger the bonus with the more free spins you will be awarded, but it is worth noting that once the scatters have hit you will receive one bonus respin where additional scatters can land to further enhance your trigger. Below we have detailed the amount of spins you begin the bonus with.

• 3 Scatters - 6 Free Spins.
• 4 Scatters - 8 Free Spins.
• 5 Scatters - 10 Free Spins.
• 6 Scatters - 15 Free Spins.

There is only one thing that you really want to see during the free spin bonus and that is the wild symbols, and the earlier they land in the bonus the better. Each time that one lands it will extend to the full length of the reel whether it is a part of a win or not, with the added bonus being that it will also lock in place and remain there for the duration of the bonus round. Players should note that it is not possible to re-trigger the free spins feature on Starz Megaways™.

Not all Megaways™ Slots have to be all singing and all dancing to appeal to players. Of course there are people who like games that are packed with modifiers and bonuses like Rick and Morty Megaways™, but there are also players who like to get in on the action with a slot that has 1000s of paylines but is easy to understand and straightforward to play. 

To conclude,  this is probably the nearest you will ever get to seeing a Starburst Megaways™ slot, unless of course NetEnt do actually release that game.
