Stars Bonanza

Stars Bonanza is a video slot game developed by Nailed It! Games, set to release on August 8, 2024. The game combines classic fruit machine elements with a cosmic twist, featuring a 5×3 reel layout with 10 paylines.

The slot boasts a vibrant, space-themed background in black, red, and yellow. Stars move across the screen, creating a dynamic and mesmerizing atmosphere. The reels are framed by three joker hats positioned above them, which light up during the Wild Collection feature. A striking female joker character, dressed in a bright yellow and red costume, stands confidently on the left side of the reels.

Symbols: The game features a mix of classic fruit machine symbols and special icons:

• Low-paying symbols: Cherries, Lemons, Oranges, and Plums
• High-paying symbols: Grapes, Watermelons, Bells, and Red Sevens
• Special symbols: Wild Joker and Starfruit

The Red Seven is the highest-paying regular symbol, awarding 200x the bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.

The Wild Joker symbol appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4. It substitutes for all regular symbols to help form winning combinations but does not replace the Starfruit symbol.
