StarDust is 40 paylines online pokie from Microgaming with four rows across the reels. It appears to be set in the deep emptiness of outer space. But the symbols are bright and colourful. At the moment StarDust is being released on the desktop platforms only, but it is visually perfect for mobile gaming as well. Hopefully it will soon come to Australian mobile casinos. The four high paying symbols are gems of different shapes and colours. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons crafted in the typical Microgaming style.
The highest line payouts are awarded by two special symbols. One is the StarDust logo, which is the wild symbol and appears stacked on all the reels. The other is the galaxy symbol, which orbits you to the free spins feature through the StarDust meter. The meter has ten divisions. When the galaxy symbol appears on reel 3, it can pick up to one gem from each of the other reels and pack the meter with stardust. The stardust from gem fills one division. You can get an increase of up to four divisions on the meter in any spin. When the meter is full the free spins feature is triggered. You will be awarded between 10 and 13 free spins. Each free spin will be played out at the bet size of the corresponding gem. During the free spins the format changes to 1024 ways to win. The wild symbols become super stacked. There is an incredible Radiant Respin feature. If there is a 3 symbols winning combination then reels 4 and 5 will respin once to give you the chance of getting a longer winning combination. If there is a 4 symbols winning combination then reel 5 will respin once. The free spins cannot be retriggered. StarDust online pokie has no scatter symbol.
In the base game in the StarDust online pokie you wager with all 40 paylines enabled by default. You can wager up to 10 coins per payline and select the coin size from between AU$0.01 to AU$1.00. The maximum line bet is AU$10.00 and the maximum total bet is AU$400.00. This will suit even the highest of high rollers at Australian online casinos. The payout table adjusts to the selected bet and indicates the absolute payouts. The online pokie has variance on the lower side. The highest line payout of 1000 times the line bet is for the wild symbol. The five of a kind payout for the galaxy symbol is 500 times the line bet.
