Branded slots are have become a major trend in the pokie market, and we are seeing a number of games being based on a wide range sci-fi series. While Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica have both spawned their own poker machines, Star Wars has yet to enter the gambling market. However, that hasn’t stopped 1×2 Gaming from creating an adorable spoof game.
Star Bars is an online pokie that features characters who look remarkably similar to the Star Wars cast in a nightclub setting. The game even begins with the iconic scroll text, except it says: “Not so long away in a galaxy not so far away there was an epic film about a galactic war. This slot machine has nothing to do with that film”. Then, the player is taken to the game. It is a 5 reel online pokie with 9 paylines.
As such, there isn’t huge potential to make multiple winning combinations, but players can win some generous prizes. There is an option to increase your coin value from $0.01 to $.50, so players can adjust the settings to maximize their winning potential. All of the symbols in Star Bars are based on characters from the original Star Wars film franchise – but they have been changed ever so slightly.
For example, the droid symbols have animal ears while the military characters are decked out in disco clothing. When the player triggers the bonus game, they are taken to the Disco Star Bonus. The Disco Star resembles the Death Star with a disco ball twist – a very clever feature. During this round, all of the characters set foot on a dance floor.
The spotlight jumps from character to character and when it lands on one particular person, a random bonus prize is awarded. This is quite a cute online pokie, and players should give it a spin. 1×2 Gaming does a great job of designing a spoof game on a popular brand.
