Inferno Star — RTP, volatility and max win

Inferno Star by Play'n GO drops classic fruit like cherries, lemons, plums and watermelons into a glowing red hellfire, with a star and a sun among them. After a win, respins spin the reels again, and a gamble round lets you put the payout back on the line.

The theme stays close to fruit-machine tradition: apples, cherries, lemons, oranges, plums and watermelons in red and brown, framed by the flames of hell. The 5×3 grid offers 5 paylines, a compact line game with no ways system. Bets can be set from a low of €0.05 to a high of €100. Play'n GO released the slot on October 25, 2018.

Only the fixed lines pay, and matching fruit must form an unbroken run from the leftmost reel. Every line runs across all five reels, and each line pays only its highest combination. With so few lines the board stays easy to read, and every win can be traced at a glance.

Inferno Star pairs its scatter symbols with three extras: respins, free spins and a gamble round.

Respins start after a matching setup and spin the reels again while certain symbols stay in place.

The free spins run as a separate round at no cost. After a win, the gamble round lets you bank the amount or risk it for a bigger sum.

Since Inferno Star triggers respins after matching hits, inferno slots with respins is the natural place to compare it.

RTP 94.34%, lower than 82% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility High, like 85 of the 180 slots in the Hell & devil theme. Background: what slot volatility means. Max win 2,500× (€250,000 at the highest stake).

Inferno Star stays under the inferno median on both counts: 94.34% return and a biggest prize of 2,500× your stake. The game leans on its high volatility instead: the bigger amounts come from respins and free spins, and the gamble round can push a single win further.

Because operators can configure the RTP of Inferno Star, the figures on RTP comparison of inferno slots are worth checking.
