Starz Megaways is a Pragmatic Play slot game, powered by the popular Megaways engine. This space-themed slot seems to draw inspiration from NetEnt's Starburst, the original in a series that includes Starburst XXXtreme and even a Slingo game, Slingo Starburst.
Starz Megaways offers players a galactic gaming experience with a cosmic backdrop featuring a transparent grid, a radiant sun, and a starry sky, and the game's sound effects complement the theme nicely. This game's vibe is retro 70s futuristic, as strange as that sounds.
The game features 6 reels with 2-7 symbols on each reel, creating an ever-changing number of ways-to-win on each spin, ranging from 324 to 117,649. Unlike most other Megaways slots, including Pragmatic’s Great Rhino Megaways, Starz Megaways doesn't have a cascading feature. However, it compensates by awarding possible wins for both left-to-right and right-to-left adjacent symbol combinations.
If you like Starz Megaways, you can find other star-themed such as Star Spinner or Burning Stars 3, plus all the games mentioned above, in our slot library.

To win in Starz Megaways, players need at least three matching symbols, but six of a kind pays out in both directions, effectively doubling the rewards. However, it's worth noting that the symbol values are relatively low, as per usual in Megaways games.
The lower-paying symbols on the paytable consist of six planet/atom symbols in various colours and shapes. Following them are six precious gems, including pink, blue, red, purple, and green, with possible payouts ranging from 1.2 to 5 times the stake for six matching symbols.
Players are aided by the red and yellow bursting star, which serves as the wild symbol and appears on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. In the base game, when a wild symbol lands, it expands vertically to cover the entire reel. This feature is beneficial in the main game and becomes even more advantageous during the bonus rounds.
In Starz Megaways, the primary, in fact, the only feature is the Free Spins bonus round, and it's pretty simple. To trigger it, players need to land three or more ball of fire bonus symbols anywhere on the reels. The number of free spins you receive depends on how many bonus symbols you land: 3 symbols award 6 free spins, 4 symbols grant 8 free spins, 5 symbols offer 10 free spins, and 6 symbols provide 15 free spins.
During the Free Spins feature, there's a change in how the wild symbol functions. When a wild symbol lands on the reels during this bonus round, it expands vertically as it does in the base game, but this time, the expanded wild symbols remain sticky and locked in place for the entire duration of the free spins.
One minor drawback is that the Free Spins feature cannot be retriggered, so you won't be able to earn additional free spins within the bonus round.
