Starlight Christmas review

Theme and Style

Starlight Christmas is themed around a festive anime world.

Players will arrive in an enchanted snowy realm ruled by an angelic pixie. Here, they’ll find an array of treasures, including tantalizing jewels.

This slot will appeal to anime enthusiasts, as well as anyone in the mood for a little Christmas spirit.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Evergreen wreaths decorate the upper corners of the reels along with a dusting of snow. Among the symbols, players will find precious gems including blue sapphires, green emeralds, and red rubies in the shape of hearts. Every stone is framed in gold for an extra luxurious look.

Beside the reels, an adorable angel can be seen, animated in a classic anime style. Her long auburn hair, red Santa hat, and fur-trimmed skirt give her a distinctly Christmassy style. Her long legs are accented with mismatched socks to finish the playful look.

Behind the reels, players will glimpse a snowy landscape with colorful ornaments and gifts scattered in the foreground. The blue sky and falling snow suggest a particularly crisp winter day.

The fast-paced soundtrack will remind players of classic ‘80s anime soundtracks such as those of Sailor Moon. The chiming of sleigh bells upholds the magical holiday atmosphere.

Gameplay

Starlight Christmas is a six-reel, five-row slot.

Players must land at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the reels to be awarded a win. The payout is decided by the number of symbols and the value of the symbol type.

After winning symbols payout, they vanish, making way for new symbols to fall into their positions. These Cascades will repeat until no more winning combinations are possible.

Players may choose to buy into the Free Spins feature directly if they choose (see further details below).

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

During the base game and Free Spins feature, 4 Multiplier symbols can appear with values ranging from 2x to 500x.

Any available Multiplier values are applied to wins once a Cascade sequence has ended. If more than one Multiplier is available, their values are added together prior to being applied.

Landing 4 Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature, starting with 15 free spins and the use of special reels. For the entire Free Spins feature, all Multiplier values are added together.

Landing 3 Scatters during the Free Spins feature provides players with 5 additional free spins.

By using the Ante Bet feature, players can increase the size of their bet and change the way this slot behaves. The odds of triggering the Free Spins bonus will be naturally doubled depending on the bet multiplier selected as a greater number of Scatters will appear.
