How to Play Starburst
Slot Symbols & Design
Starburst uses vibrant colours in a cosmic setting reminiscent of the Arcade style. The Starburst slot is fast paced and offers innovative and fun features.
The fun begins with 5-reels, 10-bet lines and the featured Starburst Wild. Traditional Wilds are replaced with an innovative new Starburst Wild. Starburst Wilds on reels 2, 3 or 4 expand over the entire reel and remain in place for up to 3 re-spins, at no extra cost. This makes the possibility for huge wins massive.
Other symbols include the BAR, and 7 symbols along with a Blue, Green, Purple, Orange and Yellow gems.
Bonus Features
Unlike almost all other slot machines, Starburst does not follow the norm with no scatter or multiplier symbols. There are also no bonus rounds in this online slot. You might think that this makes for a mediocre play experience but it definitely does not.
One thing Starburst does well is to ensure players are aware of wins through the big win notifications for combos and super combos.
Starburst Wilds
What players are looking for when playing is the Starburst symbol. It only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. When the symbols appear, it substitutes all other symbols on the reel to the Starburst Wild symbol.
Players receive a re-spin at no extra cost when the symbol appears. Should additional Starburst symbols appear during the initial respin it will then retrigger the re-spin feature. Wins during the feature are usually pretty big.
Two-Ways Win Feature
At the time of release Starburst also did something very few other slots did: it introduced a two-way win feature. What this means is that instead of traditional slots paying out only from left to right, it also pays out from right to left. Thus, `increasing your chances of a winning combination. This feature adds so much more value during the Starburst Wild re-spins.
For more details on the winning combinations have a look at the pay-table in the game.
Game panel
Starburst slot is a 10-pay line slot. The bet size is 1 coin per bet line and the overall stake is the multiple of 10 pay lines with your chosen coin value. Pay lines are fixed during spins. You can adjust the coin value and Bet Level to suit your spending level.
Players can adjust the coin value. From a minimum of 0.10 to a maximum of R10.00 while the Bet Level ranges from 1-10. The total bet can range from R1.00 to R1,000 per spin.

With Starburst still being one of NetEnt’s all time top performing slots, it was only a matter of time before a new version was released. Starburst XXXtreme was released in 2021. As the name suggests, it has some extra features including XXXtreme Spins which sees a player winning up to a massive 200,000x their original bet.
