Starburst

Starburst is one of NetEnt’s most iconic online slots ever released, and for good reason. It blends hypnotic visuals, a cosmic soundtrack, and fast-paced gameplay into a space-themed classic that’s as approachable as it is enduring.

The background of the Starburst slot pulses with galactic light, while each spin feels like an interstellar voyage through vivid jewels and sparkling symbols. In addition, each symbol gleams with neon lighting, creating sleek, arcade-style visuals that give the slot a futuristic vibe.

Volatility ranges between low and medium with every spin of the Starburst slot. The return to player (RTP) percentage, meanwhile, is 94.05%, and bet limits cater to a wide range of bankrolls. Moreover, instructions and bonuses are simple, making this title suitable for novice and seasoned players alike.

Navigating the Starry Galaxy

To start playing Starburst, simply launch the game and click the spin button. Like all online slots, you can change the base stake at the start of a new round. To do this, click the ‘-’ and ‘+’ buttons beside the ‘Bet’ box.

When you click the spin button, the reels will begin to spin and then stop in sequence. Any winning combinations are then identified, with payouts transferring automatically to your balance.

The Starburst slot uses a five-reel, three-row setup with 10 paylines. Unlike most slots at our online casino, winning combinations can form both from left to right and right to left. This means that they can start from Reel 1 or 5.

In either case, winning combinations must land on adjoining reels.

There are a total of seven payout symbols that can deliver the slot’s standard payouts. BAR symbols are the most valuable awarding between 5x and 25x the base stake. They are followed by 7s, which pay out between 2.5x and 12x.

Differently coloured gemstones represented the five remaining payout symbols in the game. Yellow gems are the most valuable, paying up to 6x. They are followed by green, orange, blue, and purple, which award a maximum of 5x, 4x, 2.5x, and 2.5x, respectively.

Starburst Features

Expanding wilds and respins combine to deliver the simple, yet highly effective set of Starburst bonus features. Moreover, while free spins are not available in the game, you may find some available in our list of casino promotions.

Wild Symbols

The iconic supernova symbol is the slot’s wild. As such, it substitutes for all regular payout symbols, helping to form or expand winning combinations.

Starburst Wilds can only land on the middle reels, and when they do, they activate the Starburst Wilds Feature.

Starburst Wilds Feature

When this feature is triggered, the triggering wild expands to cover the entire reel while all other reels respin. If a new wild symbol lands on one of the reels, it too expands before triggering a respin of all remaining reels. If a third wild appears, the Starburst Wilds Feature retriggers a final time.

During the feature, all expanded wild symbols become sticky, increasing the likelihood of forming winning combinations.
