ABOUT
Ticket to the Stars by Quickspin envisions a future where space travel is commercialized so that normal people have a chance to observe the vast, grand Milky Way. Unlike many other slot games with cosmic themes, it doesn’t lean at all to the alien/horror side of space travel; instead, everything here is colorful, bright, and full of hope.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Ticket to the Stars functions on a 96.52% default RTP and a 5x3, 25 paylines setup. The game immerses players into its cosmic, futuristic voyage by replacing the usual royal card symbols with diamond-shaped planets of different colors and featuring symbols like pilot, flight attendant, and robot.
The game possesses high volatility and various exciting features including cascade (also referred to as the Swooping Reels feature), Stacked Wilds and the unlimited Multiplier Meter feature, potentially leading to a max win of 10,000x the bet. In the base game as well as the bonus round, the Wild symbol may come stacked, meaning it will take up a whole reel.
To discover the unlimited multiplier, players have to land at least 3 Scatters in the shape of a rocket to enter the Free Spins bonus round, with the rewards depending on the number of Scatters:
- 3 Scatters = 15 free spins
- 4 Scatters = 20 free spins
- 5 Scatters = 25 free spins
The Unlimited Multiplier Meter will increase by 1 for every 3rd win and it applies to every winning combination during the entirety of the bonus. Plus, each time the multiplier gets upgraded, it will activate a side effect: adding 2 extra spins into your total. Ticket to the Stars slot has unlimited free spins and multipliers, so in theory you can keep upgrading the multiplier till forever.
Roshtein’s Take
Ticket to the Stars is an example to how an interesting theme alone cannot carry a slot, ultimately people always come for the gameplay. The game has decent investment into its appearance, with bright colors depicting a future where space travel is just as common as going to the airport. However, although the graphic part of the slot is without a doubt top-notch, gameplay simply doesn’t take you to that ultimate playing high.
One look at the available features and it’s clear Play’n GO did try to provide superb gaming experience but the studio was not very successful in doing so. Even though the game packs powerful winning potential and I had some nice hits on these reels, it failed to truly impress me.
