Supernova Galaxy Orbs Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

Supernova Galaxy Orbs is a retro-inspired online slot from Hacksaw Gaming that combines classic fruit machine symbols with modern Hold & Win mechanics.

Set against a colourful outer-space backdrop, the game focuses on collecting Coin prizes, triggering jackpots and activating Orb features rather than introducing complex bonus systems.

Players who enjoy King Carrot or Wanted Dead or a Wild will recognise Hacksaw Gaming’s polished gameplay, although Supernova Galaxy Orbs takes a much more traditional approach. Instead of cluster pays or high-volatility feature chains, it delivers a straightforward Hold & Win experience with collectible Orbs, Free Spins and jackpot prizes.

The game uses a 5×3 reel layout with 26 fixed pay-lines, offers an RTP of up to 96.23%, medium volatility, and allows bets from €0.10 to €200 per spin. The maximum payout is 5,000x the total stake.

Game Features

Supernova Galaxy Orbs video slot combines traditional paylines with Red Orbs, Blue Orbs, Hold & Win bonuses, jackpots and retriggerable Free Spins.

5 Reels and 26 Paylines

The game is played across five reels using 26 fixed paylines.Winning combinations are formed by landing matching symbols from the leftmost reel across adjacent positions.

Lower-paying symbols include the classic 10, J, Q, K and A card ranks. Premium symbols consist of cherries, oranges, grapes, watermelons and bells. Five matching premium symbols can award between 2.5x and 10x the bet, while a full line of Wilds pays 10x the total stake.

Wild Symbols

Wild Symbols can land on every reel. They substitute for all regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations and may also form their own five-of-a-kind payout worth 10x the bet. Wilds do not substitute for Orbs, Coins, Jackpots or Scatter symbols.

Red Orbs and Hold & Win

Landing a Red Orb immediately triggers the Hold & Win feature.

The round begins with three respins, and only the following symbols can appear:

• Red Orbs
• Jackpot symbols
• Bronze Coins
• Silver Coins
• Gold Coins
• Diamond Coins
• Dead symbols

Bronze Coins are worth 0.2x to 2x, Silver Coins 3x to 10x, Gold Coins 15x to 50x, while Diamond Coins can award between 100x and 1,000x the bet. Every newly landed Coin, Jackpot or Red Orb resets the respin counter back to three.

Up to three Red Orbs may appear during the feature, although only one Red Orb and one Jackpot symbol can land on a single respin. When the feature ends, Jackpot symbols first reveal their prize before every Red Orb collects the value of all Coins and Jackpots currently on the grid.

Jackpot Symbols

Jackpot Symbols appear exclusively during Hold & Win. When revealed, they award one of four fixed jackpot prizes:

• Mini — 10x
• Major — 50x
• Mega — 500x
• Max — 5,000x

Jackpot values are also collected by every active Red Orb before the Hold & Win feature finishes.

Blue Orbs

Blue Orbs can appear during the base game. Unlike Red Orbs, they do not trigger Hold & Win. Instead, each Blue Orb immediately collects the values of every Coin and Jackpot symbol currently visible on the reels after regular wins have been evaluated.

Up to three Blue Orbs may appear simultaneously. Red Orbs and Blue Orbs cannot appear together on the same spin.

Sphere Factor Free Spins

Landing three, four or five Scatter symbols awards 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins respectively.

During the bonus:

• Red Orbs appear more frequently.
• Hold & Win is easier to trigger.
• Coin values begin from 1x the bet instead of the lower base-game values.

The feature can also be retriggered.

Landing:

• Two Scatters awards 3 extra spins
• Three Scatters award 5 extra spins
• Four Scatters award 7 extra spins
• Five Scatters award 10 extra spins

This provides additional opportunities to trigger multiple Hold & Win rounds during the same bonus.

FeatureSpins

Supernova Galaxy Orbs offers several enhanced spin options where permitted. BonusHunt FeatureSpins cost 2x the normal stake and make Free Spins three times more likely to trigger.

Cosmic FeatureSpins cost 75x the bet and guarantee a Red Orb together with a Hold & Win feature using improved Coin values.

Galactic FeatureSpins cost 500x the bet and guarantee between one and five Blue Orbs while filling the remaining positions with Coins worth at least 1x or Jackpot symbols.

These options increase feature activity but do not guarantee a profitable outcome.

Bonus Buy

Players can also purchase the Sphere Factor Free Spins feature directly. The bonus costs 65x the selected bet and awards the standard Free Spins round with enhanced Red Orb frequency.

Bonus Buy options is not available in United Kingdom.

Our Verdict

Supernova Galaxy Orbs slot machine is one of Hacksaw Gaming’s more traditional releases, focusing on familiar Hold & Win gameplay rather than the highly volatile mechanics usually associated with the studio.

While the outer-space setting looks attractive, the gameplay itself remains firmly centred around collecting Coin values and jackpot prizes.

The Hold & Win feature is enjoyable thanks to the Red Orb collectors, while Blue Orbs add another way to collect prizes during the base game. The Sphere Factor Free Spins also increase the chances of triggering additional Hold & Win rounds, although they introduce very few exclusive mechanics beyond improved Coin values.

With a 5,000x maximum payout, Supernova Galaxy Orbs offers considerably less potential than many other Hacksaw Gaming slots. However, players looking for a more relaxed Hold & Win experience with solid RTP and straightforward gameplay may find it an enjoyable alternative to the studio’s more demanding high-volatility releases.
