Crystal Sun Slot Review Canada

Play’n GO has proven in the past that they have no problem copying well-known slots from others. 

Crystal sun video slot reviewWell-known examples of Play’n GO clones are of course Book of Dead (Book of Ra clone) and Sails of Gold (a Columbus clone).

But they didn’t have a Starbust clone yet. Just a few weeks ago, Netent successfully blocked the release of Starblast, because it would look too much like Starburst. Threatening by Netent with a lawsuit turned out to be enough for Play’n GO to park Starblast for a while.

And then Play’n GO suddenly comes on with Crystal Sun. And this is very similar to a Starburst copy, albeit one that has a considerably higher variance and some additional features, such as extra multipliers.

The recognizable expanding wilds on the middle reels, the paylines on both sides, the space theme and the respins have remained.

It turns out: Crystal Sun is actually just Starblast, but with a different name and some different graphics.

And then no court will say that it is stealing. At most “inspired by”.

NetEntertainment will not be happy with this, that should be clear.

How does the Crystal Sun video slot work?

Crystal Sun is a lock that is very simple in design. There are 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols and you only have 10 fixed paylines. Payouts apply from both sides: left to right and right to left.

Bets that you can make with fixed amounts per spin: a minimum of 0.10 euros and a maximum of 100 euros per spin.

In terms of variance, Crystal Sun is on the hefty side: between medium and high. The maximum payout is a whopping 4,000 x the total bet and that has everything to do with the expanding wilds, the respins and the extra multipliers.

The theoretical payout percentage is fine: 96.6%.

Symbols and Payouts in Crystal Sun

Wilds replace all other symbols, but only appear on the middle reels.

Furthermore, all symbols in the game are stacked. So it is quite possible to rotate a full screen with the same symbol.

The highest paying symbol is the diamond. Every 5-of-a-kind of this symbol earns you 16 x the total bet. A full screen of diamonds is worth 10 x 16 = 160 x the total bet.

Second in the hierarchy is the red seven, good for 8 x the total bet with 5 of a kind on an active payline.

Medium paying symbols consist of 5 different colored gems. These are worth between 2 x and 4 x the total bet for every 5-of-a-kind.

Expanding wilds and respins

Once a wild symbol lands on one of the middle reels, it will expand across the entire reel.

You also get a free respin, where the wilds remain on the reels.

If another wild falls, the process repeats, up to a maximum of 3 respins.

Sounds familiar?

Extra multipliers

And now comes the “unique” thing about this Starburst clone: ​​the wilds can contain multipliers. And that makes this slot a lot better to enjoy than the original, we can tell you.

Multipliers of up to x 3 can appear on the wild reels, which can give the winnings a massive boost. Multiple multipliers on wild reels are added together. If you have a 3 x multiplier on reel 2 and a 2 x multiplier on reel 3, the total multiplier will be 5 x.

The maximum total multiplier that can appear on the reels is x 9. Then you must have spun a 3 x multiplier on every wild reel.

And then the trick is to spin one of the high symbols on each side, the diamonds or the red sevens.

Crystal Sun slot Review Conclusion

Play’n GO can come up with the most beautiful, original slots. Just think of Reactoonz or Moon Princess.

Then this Crystal Sun feels a bit like bland (and lukewarm) soup.

That said, this has secretly become a really fun online slot. We normally like slots with a bit more depth, but Crystal Sun is perfect as a snack.

It is interesting to follow whether Starburst players will embrace this slot, or ignore it en masse.

We would not be surprised if Play’n GO with this Crystal Sun let the Netent empire crumble a bit further.
