Starfire Fortunes TopHit Slot Review - By Yggdrasil Gaming

Starfire Fortunes: Slot Features

Golden Bet feature-

The Golden Bet Feature in Starfire Fortunes slot allows players to target this feature during any base game press with a cost that is 5x the amount in the standard bet, charging in addition 5 credits per spin. This feature guarantees that the Nudge feature at all times is in effect. The premium symbols pays between 2x and 8x stake for five of a kind whilst the wild symbols replace any symbol excluding bonus ones of the game to create winning combinations.

Directly above the main grid is the TopHit Reel which is rotated along with the regular reels and comprises of about 5 positions. This reel can show premium symbols either on the whole or part with some blanks even possible. Only fully visible premium symbols on the TopHit Reel trigger their effects. When a premium symbol is made to drop completely, that symbol (in all forms present in the game now) on the main grid is changed into Wild. Where several premium symbols land, the wilds gain a multiplier of up to x5 depending on how many symbols appeared after premium symbols have landed. If more than one of these multipliers is used in a line won then they all get multiplied.

Nudge Feature-

The Nudge Feature activates when the Nudge symbol appears on reel 5 of the main grid. When triggered, it nudges all partially visible symbols on the TopHit Reel fully into view, potentially converting them into Wilds if matching symbols are present on the main grid.

Buy Bonus-

To activate the Bonus Round, you need at least 3 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Scatters can also appear on the TopHit Reel to assist in triggering the bonus. Each scatter in the bonus round grants an additional spin. Unlike the base game, wild transformations and multiplier upgrades persist throughout the bonus round. A fully upgraded x5 Wild also awards an extra spin.

For players in eligible jurisdictions (excluding the UK), there is a Bonus Buy option available. You can pay 100x your stake for 8 to 20 free spins or 500x your stake for 10 to 20 free spins, with a guaranteed initial nudge included.

Pros:

5x Golden Bet for TopHit™ Reel nudge: Activating the Golden Bet enhances gameplay by ensuring the Nudge feature triggers on every spin.

TopHit™ multiplier wild transformations: The TopHit™ Reel can turn premium symbols into wilds, with multipliers of up to x5 for bigger wins.

Free Spins with persistent TopHit™ upgrades: During free spins, the wild transformations and multiplier upgrades persist, increasing the win potential.

Win up to 25,000x your stake: The game offers a massive win potential, with up to 25,000x your stake up for grabs.

Cons:

Beware of adjustable RTP ranges: The game’s RTP can vary, so it’s important to check which version is being offered by your chosen operator.

Review Summary-

Starfire Fortunes slot brings an interesting cosmic mythology theme, which is a bit different for this developer, but still visually captivating. What truly sets the game apart is the innovative TopHit Reel. While it may not always significantly impact the base game, when things align perfectly, it can deliver big wins—especially with the multiplier wilds that stack together. The Golden Bet, although tempting, comes at a higher cost, so it’s something to consider using strategically, perhaps every 10-20 spins depending on your budget.

Once you get accustomed to the TopHit Reel in the base game, the bonus round takes it to another level, as the wild transformations become persistent throughout. With the potential to win up to 25,000x your stake when everything falls into place, Starfire Fortunes has the makings of a future cult favourite.
