Five Star review
Five Star strips a slot down to almost nothing. Red Tiger released it in October 2016 as a classic fruit game with just 3 lines on a 5x3 grid, one headline symbol and one extra mechanic: a line win can set off repeat spins that keep multiplying the result. The catalogue rates it High volatility, and the studio's own hit frequency of 10.78% shows how rarely a spin pays.
Three lines, nothing hidden
Five reels, three rows and 3 lines make this one of the simplest layouts around, with bets from €0.10 to €50 per spin according to the studio. There are no free spins or pick rounds described on the official page.
The studio's introduction speaks of frequent winning spins, but its own stats line lists a hit frequency of 10.78%, which is roughly one paying spin in nine or ten. We report both and lean on the measured figure.
The star and the repeat spins
The game has two moving parts, and both are about what happens after a win.
Five Star symbol
The top symbol of the game. Three of them pay an instant win, four pay more, and five pay 300x the stake. The studio does not give the values for three or four.
Repeat winning spins
Any line win can start a sequence of repeat spins, and the studio says these can multiply the win again and again. The size of each step and the chance of a repeat are not published.
Money matters
One RTP is on record: 95.2%, so the house edge is 4.8%, or about $48 per $1,000 wagered over time. For 100 spins the average cost is $0.96 at $0.20, $4.80 at $1 and $24 at $5.
The maximum of 2,000x is $400 at $0.20, $2,000 at $1 and $10,000 at $5. Since five Five Stars pay 300x on their own, results near the ceiling must come from the repeat spins stacking a win several times. Paired with a 10.78% hit frequency, that makes this a game of long gaps and rare large results.
Power Reels and similar High-volatility games
Five Star Power Reels is the related title, listed at 96.06% with Very high volatility and a 10,000x cap. Similar numbers to the original appear on Age of Akkadia at 95.67% and 2,048x, Wild Expedition at 95.67% and 2,101x, and Eagle Riches at 95.68% and 2,412x, all rated High.
Who should look elsewhere
Players who want regular small returns or a bonus round to aim for will find little here. The game suits those who prefer a bare classic screen and understand that a low hit rate means a budget can drain between wins.
Pros
- Very simple: 3 lines and one feature
- Five Five Star symbols pay a fixed 300x
- Repeat spins can multiply a win several times
- A 2,000x ceiling on a three-line game
Cons
- A 10.78% hit frequency means most spins pay nothing
- The 95.2% RTP gives a 4.8% house edge
- The studio's frequent-wins claim does not match its own hit rate
Verdict
Five Star is a minimal fruit game with 3 lines, a 300x top symbol and repeat spins that can keep multiplying a win towards the 2,000x ceiling. The 95.2% RTP means a 4.8% house edge, and High volatility with a 10.78% hit frequency means long dry runs are normal. It suits players who want the plainest possible screen and accept big swings. Keep stakes small and within a set budget.
