ABOUT
Space slots usually arrive dripping with glowing tech and alien vistas, so there's something refreshingly cheeky about one that packs its reels with cherries and bells instead. That's the sleight of hand at play in Supernova Galaxy Orbs, a medium volatility five-reeler built on a 96.23% RTP, with a top payout that can stretch to 5,000x the stake. Hacksaw Gaming keeps the sci-fi trappings deliberately tongue-in-cheek, treating the Space Race branding more as a wink than a serious promise of interstellar adventure. Strip away the cosmic wrapper and what's underneath is a coin-collecting hold and win machine, quite happy to let its retro symbols do the talking.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
The grid spreads over five reels and 26 paylines, and the symbol set stays firmly old-school, 10-through-A royals down low, then watermelons, cherries, oranges, grapes, and bells up top. Five matching royals return 1x, the premium symbols pay 2.5x to 10x for a full line, and wilds turn up on every reel, covering for regular symbols and chipping in 10x on their own when they fill a line.
The heart of it all is the orbs. Drop a Red Orb and the Hold & Win fires up with three respins, swapping the grid over to Red Orbs, Jackpots, Dead symbols, and Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond Coins. Anything that lands sticks and resets the counter, and the coin values climb sharply — 0.2x to 2x on Bronze, 3x to 10x on Silver, 15x to 50x on Gold, and a hefty 100x to 1,000x on Diamond. Once the respins run out, Jackpot symbols reveal their worth, anywhere from the 10x Mini up to the 5,000x Max Win, before every Red Orb sweeps up the total and pays the combined sum.
Blue Orbs handle the same collecting duty but keep their own company — they never share a spin with the red variety — grabbing every Coin and Jackpot value on the grid after regular wins are settled. Either colour can appear up to three at a time.
Free spins arrive through the Sphere Factor round, triggered by 3 or more scatters for 10, 15, or 20 spins, where Red Orbs surface more often and coins never drop below 1x. Not in the mood to wait? Four feature buys open the door:
- BonusHunt FeatureSpins (2x): triples your odds of triggering a bonus
- Sphere Factor (65x): drops you straight into the free spins
- Cosmic FeatureSpins (75x): guarantees a Red Orb and a Hold & Win with 1x minimum coins
- Galactic FeatureSpins (500x): locks in 1–5 Blue Orbs, with the rest of the grid packed with 1x+ Coins or Jackpots
Roshtein’s Take
Most space slots try to sell you the future with sleek chrome and starfields, so I love that this one shrugs all that off and drops fruit onto the reels instead. The base game is honestly just a warm-up; everything I care about kicks in the second a Red Orb hits and the Hold & Win takes over. Chasing a Diamond coin or holding my breath for a Mega reveal is exactly my kind of tension, and when three Red Orbs light up at the end and vacuum the whole grid, the totals can get silly in the best way. The medium volatility means it won't drain you dry between features, and the four buy options let me pick my poison depending on what I'm hunting. Grab a few spins and see for yourself.
