Yggdrasil's latest release, the Starfire Fortunes TopHit slot, marks the 10th Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) release. It combines a space theme with various bonus features such as free spins and a nudge feature.

The novelty's main feature was the TopHit mechanic, allowing developers to integrate an additional reel above the main playing field. Mark McGinley, Chief Game Officer of Yggdrasil, says that with a maximum payout of 25,000x your stake, this game has easy-to-understand mechanics and offers a fresh take on the intergalactic theme.

Design and structure of the playing field

Like other games from Yggdrasil Gaming, Starfire Fortunes TopHit features well-rendered graphics, high-quality sound effects and smooth animations. In the new slot, players take part in an intergalactic adventure and collect symbols of stars, planets and constellations.

The game also features three special symbols. Wild is represented by a golden sun. The Nudge symbol , which can only land on the rightmost reel, is designed as a double arrow. The image of the space princess is the free spins symbol .

The main reels are located in the middle of the huge observatory hall. Above them you will see an additional horizontal reel contributing to high wins.

Bonus material

Yggdrasil is known for developing innovative mechanics, so players will benefit from knowing the features of Starfire Fortunes TopHit before they start playing.

The slot's gameplay is based on the TopHit mechanic, which allows using a horizontal reel to generate additional payouts. When a high-paying symbol appears entirely on this reel, it turns into a wild symbol and replaces all symbols of its type on the base reels with wild symbols. When multiple identical symbols appear on the top reel, the wild symbols this creates receive a multiplier of up to 5x.

The developers have provided a Push feature to increase the likelihood of TopHit mechanics being triggered. The appearance of the Nudge symbol shifts all partially revealed symbols on the special reel so that they are fully visible.

When 3 or more Free Spins symbols land, the game triggers the bonus round. All wild symbols generated by the TopHit feature during the free spins accumulate, increasing the payout multipliers. You can get even more free spins by catching the Free Spins symbol or when at least 6 copies of the same symbol are created simultaneously.

In addition, the game has a Golden Bet mode, which guarantees the Nudge feature's operation. The Bonus Buy option allows players to go straight to the bonus round by paying 100x or 500x the stake.
