Ticket to The Stars

Ticket to The Stars is a Quickspin slot that turns a holiday into a space cruise, with a captain, a hostess, a robot, champagne and a suitcase leading the paytable among planets and moons. It plays on five reels, three rows and 243 ways to win, with medium volatility and stakes from 0.25 € to 100 € per spin.

Swooping reels replace every winning symbol with new ones from above, in the base game and the bonus alike. Bonus symbols award up to 25 free spins, during which an unlimited multiplier grows by one after every third win and adds two more spins. With a 96.52 % RTP and a top win of 971420 €, it suits players who enjoy cascading wins and growing multipliers.

Ticket to The Stars takes place in space. Players leave their home planet behind for a trip that promises relaxation, romance and wealth, visiting new planets and their moons along the way. Every point in the cosmos becomes a possible holiday destination, which gives the game a fun, light-hearted spirit.

The crew and cargo symbols, from the captain and hostess to the robot and the suitcase, keep the cruise story present on every spin.

A relaxing soundtrack plays during the journey, and the controls are simple to use. The graphics load smoothly in a web browser, with no software to install.

This is a medium-variance slot. It pays smaller wins between spins at a regular pace, while bigger payouts call for patience. The cheerful theme and cascading reels make it suitable for newcomers, and the unlimited free spins multiplier gives experienced players a real target.

The symbols fall into two groups:

• Cruise symbols: a captain, a hostess, a robot, a bottle of champagne and a suitcase, the premium icons. Three of a kind pay from up to 60 coins, and five pay up to 2,000 coins.
• Crystals: red, purple, green, blue and white crystals, the low-paying icons, from up to 20 coins for three to up to 400 coins for five.
• Wild: substitutes for all symbols.
• Bonus symbol: the trigger for the free spins.

The cruise symbols pay several times more than the crystals, so they are the ones that make swooping chains worthwhile. Before spinning, players set their stake in the command bar. The payout table lists stakes from 0.25 € to 100 € per spin, and autoplay can repeat spins at the chosen stake.

The game uses 243 ways to win. A payout needs at least three matching symbols on consecutive reels, starting from the left, in any row.

The wild is the top symbol: five pay up to 2,000 coins and three pay up to 100 coins. Because every win triggers swooping reels, the symbols that drop into place can create a new combination straight away, so one spin can pay several times. Wins across different ways in the same spin are added together.

The features add momentum to every spin:

• Wild: substitutes for all symbols and pays up to 2,000 coins for five.
• Swooping reels: triggered by any line win, in both the base game and the free spins. Every symbol that forms part of the win disappears, and new symbols fall from above to fill the gaps.
• Free spins: three or more bonus symbols trigger the round, and landing five bonus symbols awards up to 25 free spins. More bonus symbols mean a longer round.
• Unlimited multiplier: during the free spins, a multiplier meter increases by one after every third win, with no upper limit, and two extra spins are awarded each time.
• Multiplied wins: the current multiplier applies to every win in the free spins.

Swooping reels produce wins in quick succession, so the multiplier can climb fast, which is how the game reaches its 971420 € maximum.
