Twistar Review

By skillfully combining the words Twister and Star, developer Inspired Gaming presents its new aptly-named release Twistar, which takes players to a mesmerizing wonderland of gemstones and riches. Living up to its name, there's a huge twist awaiting players in the bonus round, which pays up to 12,500x the stake.

Twistar - Slot Outlook

There's a strong Starburst feel to the game, both gameplay and design-wise. First and foremost, the reels are made up of all sorts of precious gems alongside other recognizable symbols, and the Mystery one looks like a copycat of the Wild symbol found in NetEnt's release. The gameplay is also similar, revolving around the Sticky Expanding Wild Respins, yet as mentioned before, Inspired Gaming has gone beyond the boundaries of the classic Starburst bonus round and delivered some diversity.

Twistar Slot - Reel Screen

Loading the game will take players to a massive 6x4 reel canvass, producing 40 ways to play on each spin. Twistar comes with quite a common betting range, and players drop into the action by placing bets from £0.2 to £20 per spin. Aimed at casual players who prefer soft and relaxing gameplay, the slot is powered by a medium volatile math model that many can handle. The RTP though is lower than average at 95.08%, yet wins still should occur fairly often. Speaking of wins, the max win is capped at £250,000, which makes a staggering 12,500x potential.

The pay symbols include 5 jewels of different shapes and colors, as well as lucky sevens and bars. All symbols land stacked on the grid and can cover the entire reel to produce bigger winning opportunities. You'll need to land at least 3 symbols on a single payline starting from the leftmost reel to achieve a payout, and 6-of-a-kind jewel wins are worth from 1.5x to 3.75x the stake. Meanwhile, sevens and bars pay from 5.25x to 10x your bet, thus full grid combinations can bring you a bet multiplier of up to 400x.

Twistar - Bonus Features

Wild symbols are the most desired in the Twistar slot since not only do they substitute for any other regular symbols but also play into the Respins feature. Whenever one appears anywhere on reels 4, 5 or 6, it expands to cover the entire reel and awards 1 Respin, much like in the above-mentioned NetEnt's title. And here comes the twist, pardon the pun, which twists the expanded Wild symbols to the left.

During the Respins, Wild symbols on reels 4, 5, and 6 are transferred to reels 3, 2, and 1 respectively, where they lock in place for the remainder of the feature. Multiple Expanding Wilds can be twisted at once, and each new Wild symbol that appears during the feature awards one more Respin, up to 9. In addition to this, the expanded Wild symbols that land onto existing Wild symbols increment the stack multiplier by +1, and multiple Multipliers on a single winning line are added together to produce bigger Multiplier values.

Look out for Mystery Symbols, which are available on reels 2-5. Mystery Symbols consist of 6 segments, and each Mystery Symbol in view lights a segment. If all six segments are lit, all Mystery Symbols in view transform into the same randomly chosen regular symbol. During the Respins, all Mystery Symbols have all segments lit by default.

Twistar - Slot Verdict

With so many copies of the legendary Starburst slot that have been released since it hit the iGambling market, it's hard to come up with something utterly new. No one has ever accused the developers of the cloning process, however, in most cases, the only room to get creative is the outer look. Inspired Gaming has taken a slightly different approach and delivered a change to the gameplay, which is surely bound to be enjoyed by punters. With the twisting Expanding Wilds, players get much more winning opportunities, plus the Multipliers can boost the winning greatly if not lead to achieving the top prize. All up, Twistar is an enjoyable slot, and those who appreciate Starburst-inspired gameplay should give it a spin or two.
