STAR SUPREME

The Highlighted Position System

Star Supreme introduces a unique mechanic rarely seen in classic fruit slots. Each reel features a highlighted position marked by a thick golden glowing border. This highlight starts at the bottom row and climbs upward by one position with every spin. Only one highlighted position exists per reel at any time, creating anticipation as players track where the golden Star Scatter might land.

The beauty of this system lies in its predictability combined with randomness. You know where the highlighted positions are, but you cannot control when the Star will appear. When a Star symbol lands precisely on a highlighted position, the free spins feature triggers immediately, awarding 10 free games with the progressive multiplier system.

Golden Stacks Mechanic Explained

Unlike standard slots where symbols appear individually, Star Supreme employs a golden stacks system where every symbol except Scatters appears in stacked formations. This means when a symbol lands on a reel, it typically covers multiple positions vertically. The Red Seven, Golden Seven, Bell, Watermelon, Grape, Plum, Orange, Lemon, BAR, Cherry, and the Joker Wild all appear stacked.

This stacking mechanic dramatically increases the frequency of significant wins. With 50 fixed paylines running left to right across the 5x3 grid, stacked symbols regularly create multiple simultaneous winning combinations. A full screen of stacked Bells paying 8.00x for five of a kind across multiple paylines can generate substantial returns on a single spin.

Free Spins with Unlimited Multiplier

The free spins feature in Star Supreme operates differently from typical bonus rounds. Upon triggering with a Star on a highlighted position, you receive 10 free spins starting with a x2 multiplier. The critical difference is that this multiplier increases by +1 with every single winning situation during the feature, not just specific symbols or combinations.

This creates an accelerating win potential. Your first win pays at x2, the second at x3, the third at x4, and so on without any upper limit. If you achieve ten separate winning spins during your free games, your final wins could be multiplied by x11 or higher. The multiplier applies to the total win for that spin, not individual line wins.

Re-triggering adds another layer of excitement. When a Star lands on a highlighted position during free spins, you receive 5 additional spins plus 2 Wild Joker symbols placed randomly on the reels for the next spin. These re-triggers can occur infinitely, and the multiplier continues climbing throughout all accumulated free spins.

Understanding the 95.10% RTP

Star Supreme offers a theoretical return to player of 95.10%, which sits in the medium range for Novomatic slots. This RTP is calculated over millions of spins and represents the long-term statistical average. The actual return in any session varies significantly due to the game's volatility characteristics.

The combination of stacked symbols creating frequent small to medium wins in the base game, alongside the potentially massive free spins feature with unlimited multipliers, suggests medium-high volatility. Base game sessions typically see regular wins keeping your balance relatively stable, while the free spins feature provides the opportunity for significant multiplier-enhanced payouts.

Maximum win with the current stake reaches 1,000.00 as stated in the game rules. This cap applies during the gamble feature and potentially during extreme free spins scenarios, though the unlimited multiplier system theoretically allows for substantial returns when multiple re-triggers combine with high multiplier values.

Keyboard Controls and Mobile Optimisation

Star Supreme provides comprehensive keyboard shortcuts for desktop players. The Space bar starts new rounds, collects winnings, or triggers fast stop for running reels. Left and Right arrow keys decrease or increase bets, and during the gamble feature, they select red or black cards respectively. The Tab key opens the paytable, navigates through pages, and closes it on the final page.

Mobile and tablet players benefit from customisable button positioning. All control buttons can be dragged and dropped to preferred screen locations, accommodating different hand positions and device sizes. This accessibility feature ensures comfortable play regardless of device orientation or screen dimensions.

Game Flow and Session Management

Each base game spin follows a consistent pattern: reels spin and stop to reveal symbols, the highlighted position moves up one row on each reel, wins are calculated according to the 50 paylines running left to right, and credits update accordingly. The Joker Wild substitutes for all symbols except the Star Scatter, frequently completing winning combinations due to its stacked appearance.

If your connection drops mid-session, Star Supreme implements a 2-hour automatic completion policy. The game will finish your current round automatically after 2 hours of absence. Reconnecting before this limit allows you to continue from exactly where you left off, including all settings such as bet level and active features. If a round contains multiple spins like during free games, the system determines winnings based on expected values.

Autoplay and Gamble Features

The AUTO button activates autoplay mode, opening a configuration dialogue where you can set the number of automatic spins and optional stop conditions. Autoplay continues until manually stopped, the set number of spins completes, or a bonus feature triggers depending on your configuration.

After any win, the gamble feature becomes available if enabled in settings and the win amount qualifies. With odds of 50/50, you can attempt to double your winnings up to a maximum of 500.00 with the current stake. The feature is disabled during autoplay and for wins exceeding the gambling limit. Access it via the GAMBLE button or Right Arrow keyboard shortcut, choosing between red or black cards.

Maximising the Highlighted Position Feature

The highlighted position mechanic creates strategic anticipation. Since highlights move up one row per spin, you can predict where they will be on subsequent spins. While this does not influence when Stars appear, it helps you understand the current trigger potential. When multiple reels have highlights on upper rows, the next few spins offer increased trigger opportunities as new highlights appear at the bottom.

The stacked symbol system means that when a Star does appear, it often appears in stacks, increasing the mathematical probability that at least one lands on a highlighted position. This design choice by Novomatic creates more frequent feature triggers compared to single-symbol scatter systems.

Free Spins Multiplier Tactics

During free spins, the unlimited multiplier system rewards consecutive wins more than sporadic large hits. A session with ten small wins building the multiplier to x11 can outperform three large wins at lower multipliers. The stacked symbols again play a crucial role here, as they generate frequent winning spins that incrementally boost your multiplier.

Re-triggers become exponentially more valuable as the multiplier climbs. A re-trigger at x2 adds 5 spins with 2 Wilds, but a re-trigger at x8 means those additional spins benefit from the already elevated multiplier, potentially reaching x13 or higher by the end of the extended feature.
