Star Trek™: The Next Generation by BGaming: slot review

Slip into your temporal distortion field (whatever that is) because warp speed is about to engage as we decipher all we can about the new BGaming powered slot of Star Trek™: The Next Generation due for launch on the 13th November 2025.

In this review, we will take an in-depth look at what you can expect from this version of the hotly-anticipated title, including more details on its core mechanics, bonus features and whether or not it will appeal to both new and long-in-the-tooth players alike.

We break down the vital stats such as the Star Trek™: The Next Generation rtp and volatility and determine whether it does justice to the legendary franchise, focusing on the Star Trek™: The Next Generation max win and how realistically achievable it is.

BGaming has a long history of being an early adopter of mobile play and other innovations, so lets see how that works in this version of a classic Star Trek™ slot. Well, this review will explain whether you should play Star Trek™: The Next Generation for real money or Star Trek™: The Next Generation free play first.

Star Trek™: The Next Generation RTP, Payout & Volatility

Get into the nitty-gritty of Star Trek™: The Next Generation. With an RTP of 96.46%, this slot sits directly in the middle to upper-end of online slots range.

In other words, this means that, in theory, the game will return $96.46 on the 100 dollars bet over time. But RTP is only a part of the puzzle.

It has high volatility, so wins may be less frequent than with a low-volatility slot, but when they do land they can be much bigger. This can be attractive because it means those who are happy to endure dry spells with minor wins to potentially score a big payout get their fix.

A truly stellar reward awaits the fortunate few, with a max win of 10,000x your stake. The required bet amounts ranges from $0.20 to $100, which should satisfy casual players and high rollers alike.

The reel structure is 5x5 grid and mechanic All Ways Pays. They pay out for landing matching symbols on adjacent reels rather than on traditional paylines in the same position on the reel.

This greatly enhances the possibility of winning combinations over a static payline system. It is important to realize that high volatility slots require patience and the ability to ride through the potential losing streaks.

I will not hide the fact that you will not win those gigantic winnings all the time, each group gets in the all ways pays system its only a matter of time before you get one of the big wins! It is all about the Star Trek™: The Next Generation volatility.

Theme, Audio & Symbols

On a visual and aural basis, Star Trek™: The Next Generation attempts to immerse players in the bridge of the Enterprise-D. Which, naturally, ties into the classic TV show, and the symbol design used, showcasing/featuring iconography from characters Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Data, Geordi La Forge, Deanna Troi and Dr. Crusher.

It is likely that the background will be of a familiar spot in the show, like the bridge, or a view of space. If the audio is really just familiar sounds — maybe that of the Enterprise engine humming, some phaser blasts, or a communicator chirp.

The music will probably weave in elements from the score from the series, making for an experiential walk down memory lane for fans. Animations should play seamlessly in the right places, drawing attention to winning combinations and bonus features.

I was hoping to see the critters move through life on the reels, but in case you missed the novel, they exist as emoji stand-ins for now during my test play. Broadly speaking, the goal is to capture the spirit of The Next Generation and to create a game that feels true to the source material.

A review could be significantly improved with a video of the symbol animations and sound, and images contrasting the slots graphics with clips from the TV series.

Star Trek™: The Next Generation Free Spins and Bonus Features

Upon this succinct gameplay experience does Star Trek™: The Next Generation build its bonus features, all of which are so robust as to be a mixture of both giving more excitement, and the potential to win.

One main feature is more than likely to be Tumbling Reels or cascading wins. When you form a win, the winning symbols will disappear and other will drop into their place, giving you the chance of forming new wins, all in a single spin! This goes on until no new winning combinations are created.

Free Spins are literally a dime a dozen in online slots, and this game is no exception. These are usually activated by hitting a certain number of scatter symbols. Depending upon the slot, a free spins may come with added extras, like multipliers or improved symbol values.

Another standard feature is multipliers which, as the name suggests, boost the value of any win they hit with. Again, these are granted randomly or after special moments in the game.

A Buy Bonus option gives players the ability to directly enter the free spins round by paying for it rather than waiting for the scatter symbols to hit normally. Although this feature usually costs a multiple of your base bet, it allows for instant play of perhaps the most rewarding feature of the game.

An Ante Bet gives players an option to raise the size of their bet in return for a higher opportunity to be able to activate the free spins slot round. This means players can pick and choose their individual gameplay experience based on personal risk.

The tumbling reels were relatively generous for me on my first play, and I triggered the free spins bonus roughly every 100 spins, though of course results will vary. The bonus buy option certainly brings excitement with it and allows those that would like a taste of the Star Trek™: The Next Generation max win the opportunity to hit fast forward to the fun.

Mobile Experience

BGaming with mobile compatibility in mind, Star Trek™: The Next Generation is created to work on a diverse selection of gadgets seamlessly. The interface for the game will be tailored for smaller displays as well as being designed for intuitive touch controls and easy navigation.

For older devices, the graphics and animations will be appropriately scaled to preserve a visually appealing at smooth experience. It will allow for the game to load quickly and seamlessly, as you will have minimal loading times.

The mobile port is expected to keep everything that the desktop version contains, so players won't miss out on any of the gameplay. And no matter if your playing on a phone or a tablet, your going to have a seamless fun experience.

The game was responsive and felt good to play on an Android phone and an iPad during my testing—it was visually engaging and I didn't notice much lag or performance issues at all. There was no problem whatsoever in writing with the touch controls, and loading on both devices was quick.

The interface elements are a good distance on the screenshot examples and they are is readable also on lower size screens. It would be a good idea for at least one reviewer to upload a brief video showing some play on mobile of different games, like the one for mobile.

Pros & Cons

There are both positives and negatives that come with Star Trek™: The Next Generation, as with any slot. Taking a page from the beloved TV show, however, certainly will bring a smile to fans of the classic show.

With an RTP of 96.46%, players can expect a fair portion of payouts in the long term but just as enticing is the 10,000x max win. There are lots of chances to win with the All Ways Pays mechanic.

These bonus features as Tumbling Reels, Free Spins, Multipliers, and a Buy Bonus enrich the gaming experience. The game also being mobile-friendly means players will have access to it on almost any device.

This is not for everyone as the high volatility can cause dry-spells. Buy Bonus is a nice feature, but that can be expensive, and you may as well not be able to recoup the cost of the buy.

Some players may feel worn out from the overuse of repetitive characters and sound effects. I liked playing it, but high volatility does need a bit of waiting (and a big bankroll to survive the losses).

While the big-money potential is appealing, the risk is certainly apparent. Option to play Star Trek™: The Next Generation demo play for game volatility.
