Ticket to the Stars slot review (Quickspin)

Quickspin seems to really have found its groove: high variance slots with graphics that are to die for

The graphic designer at Quickspin should be getting a raise, and a promotion immediately as far as we are concerned. Oh boy, do their graphics look absolutely gorgeous, lately.

Ticket to the stars is drawn in a 50’s retro style and looks simply breathtaking.

The theme revolves around journeys into space and everything that entails: hunky pilots, beautiful flight attendants, futuristic rocket ships and the undoubted plethora of riches that awaits us there.

This is a video slot with avalanche symbols: winning combinations disappear to make way for new ones. This allows you to stack multiple winning combinations on top of each other. During the free spin bonus, there is a possibility that unlimited multipliers can be added.

Win up to 10.000 x the total bet

Quickspin used to be primarily known in the past for their low variance slots, where it was a big deal if you encountered a bonus round that would pay out more than 50 x the total bet. Now they are clearly aiming to attract the players that love high variance slots.

Ticket to the stars has unlimited free spins and infinite extra multipliers. In theory, this makes it possible to have unlimited gains coming your way.

The reality is slightly different, though. After tens of millions of spins, Quickspin has landed on a maximum payout of 10,000x the bet.

Ticket To The Stars slot gameplay and features

Ticket To The Stars has 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols. You always play with 25 fixed paylines, and you start with minimum bets of $€ 0.25 per spin. Higher bets are of course possible, up to a maximum of $€ 100.

The variance is high, and the theoretical payout rate is an outstanding 96.52%

Symbols and payouts

The wild symbol is stacked and replaces all symbols, except the scatters. Because of the avalanche game mechanism, it is possible to hit a long reel of wild symbols, allowing you to produce multiple wins with stacked wilds. 5 wilds on an active payout line will result in you receiving 20 x the total bet.

The premium symbols consist of the pilot and the flight attendant.  A 5-of-a-kind here will net you 16 x and 20 x the value of the bet respectively.

The medium symbols (a robot, a bottle of champagne and a green suitcase) have a maximal value between 6 x and 12 x of the total bet.

Lastly, we come to the low symbols, the coloured jewels.

There are 5 different kinds of jewels, which all pay out the same: 3 x the total bet value when you hit 5-of-a-kind.

Free spins bonus

Three or more of those beautiful rocket ships on the reels will land you the free spin bonus:

• 3 scatters: 15 free spins
• 4 scatters: 20 free spins
• 5 scatters: 25 free spins

During the free spins, it is possible to save up extra multipliers and extra spins as well.

On the left side of your screen is a gauge with 3 lights.

With every winning combination, one of the lights will be lit.

When all of the lights are alight, you win:

• +2 free spins
• +1 multiplier

The multiplier is never reset, so the further you advance, the higher the multiplier will be.

And high multipliers again result in bigger payouts.

Our verdict on Ticket To The Stars

Ticket To The Stars is again another phenomenal Quickspin slot.

It looks fabulous, the futuristic theme is worked out in great detail, and you can win piles of money.

Also, an RTP of 96.25% is just the bee’s knees.

Conclusion: this one will do just fine, especially with players who love to take some extra risk while playing.

3.8 out of 5 stars.
