Enarmade banditer
Superstars is a NetEnt slot game that brings together several in-house characters, including Finn, Gonzo, Lady Pig, Brute and the Starburst symbol. The official NetEnt datasheet confirms a release date of 27 October 2022, a playable desktop/mobile HTML5 format and a 5x5 structure with 45 lines.
The official page also provides key figures: RTP 96.08 %, hit frequency 28 %, volatility 8.4/10, stakes 0.10 to 100 and a potential of 4,500x. These values still need to be verified in the casino's help section, but they come directly from the NetEnt source, not just a simple external cross-reference.
Key takeaways
Superstars is not just a simple reskin of NetEnt characters. The heart of the game revolves around the Free Spins, multipliers that remain visible during the bonus and a board where a red token moves forward thanks to dice rolls.

Free Spins and bonus board
The Free Spins are triggered with 3 or more Diamond Scatters. NetEnt also indicates that a Dice symbol on reel 5 can replace the Diamond Scatter and add a dice roll. During the bonus, the transformed Scatters become multipliers, and new multipliers reset the spin counter back to three.
The board gives Superstars its identity: the token moves forward with the dice rolls and can unlock a character feature. This makes the bonus less linear than a classic free spins round, as the final value depends on the combination of multipliers placed and features activated.
Character features
The official features are quite straightforward. Finn adds +5 to certain multipliers and can combine them. Gonzo multiplies prizes by 2x, 3x or 5x. Miss Banks places random multipliers from 1x to 5x and can add them together on an already occupied space.
Space Wars adds three respins after cloning high multipliers, while the Starburst feature places a vertical stack of three identical multiplier prizes. The game is therefore clearly targeting players who like to follow a multi-stage bonus rather than a single instant draw.
Point of vigilance
The official datasheet mentions a feature buy option being available, but another public field from the same source is inconsistent with this information. It is therefore a good idea to check the version offered by the operator: active bonus buy or not, RTP variant and exact limits may vary depending on the casino.
Our quick review
Superstars will appeal mostly to players who are already familiar with the NetEnt universe and want a bonus that is more engaging than a very straightforward line slot. The potential of 4,500x remains modest compared to extreme high-variance slots, but the 8.4/10 volatility means you should keep your stakes reasonable.
