Bar Star Introduction
This is a free fruit machine pokie in which the bars are the stars, hence the name. The graphics are clean and attractive, with 3D reels. If the sound effects are too much for you, you have the option to turn the sound off. There are five reels and three rows of symbols. The symbols are traditional, so no surprises here. The game play is anything but traditional, however, with free spins, scatters and a three-level progressive jackpot.
Playing the game
Get this Core Gaming pokie started by adjusting your wager using the plus and minus signs on the left of the screen. Bet from 0.20 per spin up to 500 per spin. This makes the game suitable for the modest gambler up to the high-roller, providing fun for everyone. The game rules and paytable are easy to find and well laid out. If you want, you can sit back and watch the game spin itself by activating the autoplay button.
Symbols
Assuming you are using the maximum betting option on this game, there are great prizes to be won. Find five black and white bar symbols at maximum bet and you will win 5,000 coins or 20 times your wager. Payouts begin when three symbols or more are matched, with three multiplying your wager by two. The red star symbol can pay up to 2,000 coins when five are matched playing the maximum bet.
Five symbols multiply your bet by eight, four by two, and three by 0.08. The circles are blank symbols, so you need to fill the paylines with other symbols to win anything. The gold bar acts a wild, so can be very valuable in this game.
Scatters
The lightning bolt is the scatter symbol. Find three of these symbols in any position on the first, middle and final reel and you will trigger the free spins feature. You ‘pick’ the amount you want and may end up with five, 10 or 20 free spins. Look out for additional free spins in the free spins round, as these are very valuable.
Pot chance
This feature will be triggered if you see three gold bars anywhere on the reels. You will be given the opportunity to win one of the progressive jackpots. Select one of the gold bars to reveal either bronze, silver or gold - find three matching colours and you will win the jackpot. You will still be awarded a prize if the coins are mismatched.
