Supernova Shooting Stars Slot Review — Hacksaw Gaming

This review is based on pre-release promotional material provided by Hacksaw Gaming. Details may change before or at launch on 5th November 2026. A full review will follow once the game is live.

Light up the reels where blazing stars and the cosmos collide!

Hacksaw Gaming reaches for the cosmos with Supernova Shooting Stars, a 5x3 paylines slot where two tiers of expanding Wild Stars interact with each other to generate multipliers — with the key mechanic being that a Wild expanding over an existing Wild doesn't simply override it, it creates a multiplier on that position instead. Multiple multipliers from the same win are then combined and applied across all associated winning combinations simultaneously. At a 5,000x max win and medium volatility of 3 out of 5, the multiplier stacking through Wild overlap is the route to the slot's ceiling, keeping the mechanic focused and the reward logic clear.

Core Gameplay

Supernova Shooting Stars runs on a 5x3 paylines grid with two Wild types operating at different power levels. The Star Wild and the Epic Star Wild both expand when they are part of a winning combination, transforming other symbols on their reel in the process. The mechanic's key distinction from a standard expanding Wild is what happens when the expansion path crosses an existing Wild symbol — rather than simply overwriting it, the expanding Wild creates a multiplier on that position. Pre-release material shows multiplier values of 15x and 50x visible on the grid simultaneously, suggesting the multiplier values can reach significant figures when Epic Star Wilds are involved in the expansion. When multiple multipliers are generated within the same winning spin their values are combined into a single total and applied to all wins associated with those positions — an additive rather than multiplicative combination that keeps the math transparent while still delivering meaningful amplification across the full win.

Bonus Features

Two superstar bonus games are confirmed. Whether Star and Epic Star Wilds operate with enhanced expansion rates, higher multiplier ceilings, or guaranteed overlap conditions inside the bonus rounds will be confirmed at launch. No Hidden Epic Bonus™ is listed for this title — just the two standard bonus games, keeping the structure leaner than some recent Hacksaw cluster and drop releases.

Next Steps for This Review

At launch the review will be updated to cover confirmed RTP, the full bonus buy menu, the multiplier values each Wild tier can generate on expansion, how frequently Star and Epic Star Wilds overlap in the same spin during the base game, the structural differences between the two superstar bonus games, and the maximum combined multiplier achievable when multiple overlaps occur in a single win. A final score and full gameplay analysis will follow once hands-on time with the game is available.
