Games Global and PearFiction Studios launch space-themed slot 3 Stellar Bonanza

Games Global has announced the launch of 3 Stellar Bonanza, a new online slot developed by its exclusive studio partner PearFiction Studios, released on 29th August 2024.

The game uses expandable reels offering up to 7,776 ways to win, with symbols including diamonds, poker chips and horseshoes. During the base game, cash value tiles appear on reels one to four while a collect symbol appears only on reel five. Red star cash symbols carry random values up to 100x, with totals paid out when the collect symbol lands in the same spin.

Triple LockNWin mechanic

Star bonus symbols collected across multiple spins can trigger all three of the game’s LockNWin features once five have been gathered. Triggering the base LockNWin brings in green lightning bolt split symbols that spin horizontally as part of a TopGraderz feature, capable of adding up to three extra symbols above the reel where they land.

Coloured pot symbols determine which bonus is activated. Red, yellow or pink pots trigger a standard LockNWin round with three respins, during which non-cash symbols are removed and the respin counter resets whenever a new cash or jackpot symbol lands. Red pots specifically activate a Multiply LockNWin, increasing a win multiplier by 1x for each qualifying symbol before applying it to total winnings. Pink pots trigger a Supreme LockNWin that collects all orange and pink cash symbols, while yellow pots unlock a Jackpot LockNWin offering five possible jackpot tiers, including a top Mega jackpot worth 5,000 times the stake.
