Supernova Shooting Stars

Supernova Shooting Stars is a space-themed fruit slot from Hacksaw Gaming, released on 5 November 2026. It plays on a 5x3 grid with 9 fixed paylines, and the symbols are the old fruit-machine favourites (cherries, grapes, watermelons, golden bells) next to the card ranks 10, J, Q, K and A. All of this is drawn against a deep blue night sky with comets streaking past the frame. The twist is a pair of glowing stars that travel across the reels and turn ordinary Wilds into multipliers.

Fruit Symbols In Deep Space

The look is simple and clean. The reels sit in a bright blue neon frame, and a small side panel on the left shows the bet needed for the extra bonus chance. The fruit and the letters are large and easy to read, so you always see what is paying. Wins are paid on the 9 fixed lines from left to right, and the base game keeps a steady rhythm of small wins while the Wild and Bonus symbols build up to something bigger.

Two special symbols matter most. The Wild substitutes for the paying symbols, and the Bonus symbol, a diamond inside a gold medallion, is the scatter that starts the free spins.

The Two Stars

This is the core of the game. A gold Star and a purple Epic Star can land on the reels, and each one spreads Wilds across the grid:

• the Star spreads its Wild effect downward;
• the Epic Star spreads in both directions, up and down.

Every symbol that a star transforms becomes a Wild, and the Wilds created this way can carry a multiplier. In the demo the multipliers shown on the stars were 2x, 4x, 6x and 8x, and the game allows them to grow as high as 250x. When several multiplier Wilds sit in the same winning combination, their values are added together, so a line with a 4x and a 6x star pays ten times the normal prize. This is what pushes the top prize to 5,000x.

Rain Of Light

Three Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels start Rain of Light, a round of 8 free spins. During this round at least one Star or Epic Star is guaranteed to land on every spin, so the Wilds keep spreading and the round rarely feels empty. Extra Bonus symbols that land during the free spins add more spins, so the round can be retriggered.

In the free spins the background turns into a bright streak of light, and a counter at the bottom shows the remaining spins and the total win so far. The multipliers stack nicely when two stars land close together, and a single 6x or 8x Wild in a line already changes a small win into a much bigger one.

Starstruck

Starstruck is the stronger bonus. Four Bonus symbols start 10 free spins, and here at least one Epic Star is guaranteed on every spin. Because the Epic Star spreads both up and down, the grid fills with Wilds much faster. The round has a purple, cosmic background, and the Wilds that spread across the grid carry multiplier tags such as 2x, 4x and 8x. Retriggers work in the same way as in Rain of Light.

Buy Options And Bonus Hunt

The Buy button on the left of the control bar opens a menu with five options. The prices below are shown for a base bet of 2.00 in the demo, and the multiples apply to any bet:

• BonusHunt FeatureSpins, 3x the bet per spin: each spin is five times more likely to trigger a bonus game;
• Astral FeatureSpins, 50x: every spin guarantees at least two Star symbols;
• Starlight FeatureSpins, 100x: every spin guarantees at least two Epic Star symbols;
• Rain of Light, 50x: the 8 free spins right away;
• Starstruck, 200x: the 10 free spins with an Epic Star on every spin.

After you choose an option, a confirmation window shows the price that will be taken from your balance, with a Back and an OK button. All the modes are marked with medium volatility in the menu, and the game advertises the 5,000x maximum as available in every mode.

Numbers Worth Knowing

The standard RTP of Supernova Shooting Stars is 96.26%, and the volatility is medium. Hacksaw Gaming also supplies lower RTP versions to some operators, so the figure in the game rules of the casino you use is the one that counts. The maximum win is 5,000x the bet.

In the bonus rounds the screen shows the remaining free spins and the running total win at the bottom, and a closing screen sums up the whole round with the number of free spins played. A Rain of Light round bought at a 2.00 bet and played to the end paid 14.00 in total, which shows how much the result depends on whether the multiplier Wilds line up with a winning combination. The big prizes need several stars and high multipliers to land together, so it is wise to pick a bet that lets you play more than one bonus round.

The side panel on the left of the reels is a small reminder that the bonus chance can be raised with the BonusHunt option, which makes the bet higher but gives a clear, simple trade-off: more chances at the bonus, with the same 5,000x ceiling.

Is It Worth A Spin?

The game is easy to learn: nine lines, no complicated grids, and a bonus that is triggered in a familiar way. The spreading stars add some excitement, and the buy menu gives a good choice between a cheap bonus hunt and the expensive Starstruck round. Players who like classic fruit symbols but want a modern multiplier mechanic will find a lot to enjoy, while those who prefer very high volatility may find the medium profile and the 5,000x top prize a little modest compared with other Hacksaw titles.
