Ballroom Stars Slot Machine
Take to the dance floor for the Latin rhythms of this ballroom dancing slot game from Gamesys! Dancing couples waltz around the reels accompanied by frenzied salsa music and a bright purple and pink background.
The game includes wild symbols, scatters and free spins round for lots of variety, while the 25 paylines are fixed into position for the maximum number of ways to win on every spin. Whether you enjoy the lively samba, the sultry tango or the elegant waltz, you will enjoy the energy and winning opportunities of this dancing-themed slot machine.
Mastering the Moves
In order to immerse yourself into the moves on the dancefloor you need to decide on your bet. As all 25 paylines are fixed, you have no decision to make here but you can alter your line bet by clicking the plus and minus buttons. The minimum coin size is €0.01 and the maximum is €8.00, giving a minimum total bet per spin of €0.25 and a maximum total bet per spin of €200. This good betting range makes this game ideal for low, middle and high rollers.
The bright glitz and glamour of the ballroom world gives this slot game a whole lot of energy before you even spin the reels. The colour scheme of electric pink, purple and blue along with the stars and swirls of the decorations give it a vibrant atmosphere. Apart from the spin button and the coin size alterations, the only other option you have is to click on the paytable button. This opens up the paytable with a list of symbols and payouts. The game rules are also available from the top of the screen in the ‘how to play’ box.
Paso Doble into the Payouts
The payouts in Ballroom Stars are actually rather glamorous. The top award in this game is 10,000 coins, which you will win if you spin 5 game logos on the reels together while betting the maximum per spin. This symbol is also the scatter for the game, which means it can trigger the free spins round - more on that later.
The second-best payout in regular play is 4,000 coins, which you will win if you spin 5 matching dancer symbols featuring the couple leaning into the camera. The full 4,000 coins are only available if you are playing the maximum bet when you hit the 5 symbols. The other dancer symbols all pay the same amount of 3,200 coins for 5 symbols at max bet. These include the dancers leaning back away from the camera, the dancers hugging each other, and the singer and band symbol.
The high cards are the lower paying symbols in this game with the Ace paying up to 2,000 coins, the King, Queen and Jack all paying up to 1,200 coins, and the 10 and 9 icons both paying up to 800 coins.
Gold Trophy Wild Symbol
The wild symbol in this game is the gold trophy symbol. If you impress the judges and manage to find this icon during the game play by revealing it on reels 2, 3 or 4, you can develop some more winning combinations. This is because the wild symbol stands in for all the other symbols in the game except the scatter.
Foxtrot into the Free Games Feature
The purple Ballroom Stars game logo is the scatter and if you spin at least 3 of these icons anywhere on the screen you will launch the free games round. There are 10 free games up for grabs for the best dancers, with various multipliers also available.
The multiplier you receive depends on the dancers you manage to spin. The lowest multiplier is 2x your payout and the highest multiplier is 10x. For each couple you spin, their multiplier is increased by 1x, so the rewards can get potentially huge in this round.
An Energetic Number but Little Staying Power
Ballroom Stars is a vibrant, fast-paced slot machine with a colourful theme and pulsing music. Each spin brings with it a violent cacophony of trumpets and drums more reminiscent of a street carnival than a ballroom – samba fans will love it, but other players might find themselves reaching for the mute button.
Apart from this, the game has a range of features to entertain, including wild symbols and a free spins round. The wins here are regular and reasonable thanks to the 25 fixed paylines and generous paytable, however, our interest level dropped quite quickly due to the lack of bonus round and other features. The staying power of this slot is not good and our quickstep soon ran out of steam. Strictly Come Dancing’s Len Goodman might call it a 5/10.
