Superstars Review
With Superstars NetEnt has pulled something similar to Nintendo’s All
Star games, as you get to meet 5 of the most iconic and famous NetEnt characters both
on the reels and in the bonus round. These are Finn, Gonzo, Lady Pig, Space Wars Brute
and the Starburst Octagram. This is a celebration of a game, and you are the missing
star that comes late to the party.
The base game is admittedly not the most exciting
thing we’ve tried, but the charming characters do liven up the reels with their star
power. Worry not though, as the hold and win style bonus round comes with so many
features, modifiers and extras that you’ll soon forget all about the barebones base
game. The 4,596x potential is decent, and this is a must try for anyone with a
nostalgic bone in their body.

You start with 3 spins once the bonus round triggers, and the 3+ triggering
scatters turn into random multipliers placed on the hold and win grid. The number of
spins reset to 3 each time you land at least 1 new multiplier during the feature.
If
you landed a dice scatter on reel 5 when the feature triggered, you get to play a board
game where dice rolls determine where the token moves next. You can get dice during the
bonus round as well, organically or via the features. This is how you move around the
board, and certain game squares award the following features:
Finn - adds up to 5
multipliers to the grid, and these combine into one to make room for more
multipliers.
- adds up to 5 multipliers to the grid, and these combine into one to make
room for more multipliers. Gonzo - boosts up to 24 random multiplier prizes by x2, x3
or x5.
- boosts up to 24 random multiplier prizes by x2, x3 or x5. Lady Pig - awards up
to 15 multiplier prizes with up to 5x values, and they can land on existing prizes to
combine.
- awards up to 15 multiplier prizes with up to 5x values, and they can land on
existing prizes to combine. Space Wars Brute - clones 3 of the highest multiplier
prizes, and awards 3 extra spins with cloned prizes.
- clones 3 of the highest
multiplier prizes, and awards 3 extra spins with cloned prizes. Starburst Octagram -
awards a vertical stack of 3 multiplier prizes worth between x2 and x5.
- awards a
vertical stack of 3 multiplier prizes worth between x2 and x5. Extra Spin - increases
the spin tally to 4, so it resets to 4 each time.
- increases the spin tally to 4, so
it resets to 4 each time. Extra Life - is awarded if you make it all the way around the
board, and it gives you a heart life that is used the next time the spin tally reaches
zero.
The Wheel Game triggers if the token lands on the wheel square, and it comes with
the following prizes: +1 extra dice, +2 extra dice, +1 added to all multiplier prizes,
+1 to all blank squares (which increases all multiplier prizes accordingly when the
token lands on the such a square), a random feature (Starburst, Finn, Space Wars, Gonzo
or Miss Piggy), and a replay of the next bonus feature (if triggered).
If you manage to
fill the whole grid with multiplier prizes during the bonus round, you trigger what is
known as the Final Game. All the squares on the board are upgraded with values between
25x and 1,000x bar the bottom left and top right corners. These award the dice feature.
Everything is carried over into the final game, including replay, hearts and the number
of free spins. Non-UK players can purchase the feature for 150x the stake.

Review Summary
We really enjoyed the reunion with the all-star lineup
of iconic NetEnt characters, and there is plenty of charm and entertainment contained
in this release for sure. They carry with them enough star power to keep the base game
somewhat interesting, which is good since there aren’t too many features to keep you
glued until the bonus round triggers.
This is one of those games you just have to try
for yourself, and you can check the demo version above for starters. The bonus round is
filled with so many different elements, modifiers and extra features that it all looks
confusing when you read about it. It comes together nicely once you start playing
though, and the 4,596x potential is decent enough without really being the main
attraction in this star-studded release.
