The Starfire Fortunes TopHit™ from Yggdrasil gives off similar “cosmic mythology” vibes as their recent Ragnawolves WildEnergy, though the latter is more linked to Norse mythology. Starfire Fortunes is a fantasy slot set in a type of planetarium or outer space setting. It features an innovative TopHit Reel which triggers wild transformations on the main grid. Wilds can be upgraded with multipliers that can lead to significant payouts in the base game. The game becomes more exciting when wild transformations and multiplier upgrades do not reset in the bonus round, leading to potentially huge final spins and extra spins extending the feature. With a potential of 25,000x, Starfire Fortunes is worth a try even if you’re not a fan of the fantasy theme.
The Golden Bet feature can be activated between base game spins and costs 5x more per spin. The advantage is that the Nudge feature is always active. Premium symbols pay between 2 and 8 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, while wild symbols substitute for pay symbols to help complete wins. The TopHit Reel, located above the main grid, spins with the regular reels. It contains 5 positions that land premium symbols either fully or partially. Symbols need to land fully in view to create an effect.
The Nudge Feature is activated when the Nudge symbol lands on the main grid, which can only happen on reel 5. This nudges all partially visible symbols on the TopHit Reel fully into view, triggering the wild transformation feature if there are matching symbols on the main grid.
To trigger the Bonus Round, 3+ scatters need to appear anywhere in view. In the bonus round, wild transformations and multiplier upgrades persist. Each fully upgraded x5 wild gives +1 extra spin.
Non-UK players, or anyone residing in an eligible jurisdiction, can pay 100x the stake for 8 to 20 free spins, or 500x the stake for 10 to 20 free spins with a guaranteed initial nudge.
The cosmic mythology theme might be unusual for this developer, but Starfire Fortunes is visually captivating. The standout feature of this game is the TopHit Reel. It’s a bit costly to keep the Golden Bet feature active, but it might be worth considering every 10-20 spins, depending on your budget. The game becomes more exciting when the TopReel transformations persist for the duration of the bonus round. Payouts can reach up to 25,000x your stake when the game is at its peak, which could result in a cult following for this game in the future.
