Played on 5x3 reels with 20 paylines, 5 Star Knockout is a medium volatility fruit slot game inspired by Northern Lights Gaming. Gathering Star scatters in the symbol-specific Award Board metres is the main objective of the standard game. Doing so unlocks the bonus round that involves removing symbols and comes with a multiplier of up to x5.
You have twenty different ways to win on this five-reel, four-row slot machine. Collecting Star Scatter symbols is the main focus of the game, but every so often, you'll get a Re-spin from the Win Spin series to spice up the monotonous main game. When the Star Metre reaches a certain level, the payout symbol is removed, triggering the bonus round. During this bonus, you have the opportunity to earn more spins by removing symbols at a rapid pace.
Five of a kind earns 2, 3, 4, or 5 times your wager when you get the four premium number symbols, which include three different coloured 7s and the top-tier symbol, the 5. Scatter symbols include the star symbol, which can appear anywhere in the base game up to five of them. To fill the star metre of any given symbol, you must gather 5 stars. You can find symbol-specific Award Boards beneath the grid where you can do this. Between each level of betting, the stars you've collected are preserved.
When all of the Award Boards are filled, a Bonus Stars feature may activate, adding stars to your symbol star metres at random. The amount of stars added is completely up to chance. Additionally, a Win Spin function can be activated at random and provides respins indefinitely if you maintain a winning streak.
When an Award Board with a star metre is filled to the fifth star, the Bonus Round is activated, and the grid is cleared of the symbol associated with that metre during the feature. With just one full star metre during the feature, you'll receive 5 free spins. For every additional filled metre, you'll gain +2 extra spins. Naturally, this also deletes the relevant symbols from the grid, and any wins in the bonus round will be multiplied by a random factor of up to five.
