Starburst Slot

Released by NetEnt in 2012, Starburst doesn't offer a totally unique theme or storyline. Nevertheless, this has been one of the more-popular slots in recent times. In fact, some online casinos still offer free spins on Starburst to encourage new players to sign up. So what is it that makes players like Starburst so much? Find out as we cover Starburst's betting, special features and return to player (RTP).

Starburst Slot Details

Starburst offers flexible betting options since you can change coin size from €0.01 - €1.00, paylines from 1-10 and put anywhere from 1-10 coins on each payline. This makes for a minimum bet of €0.01 per spin and a max wager of €100.00. You can also use options to autospin the reels for anywhere from 10 to 1,000 spins, and make the maximum bet with the Max Bet button.

The symbols in this game are really simple because you'll see precious gems, 7s and BAR symbols. Obviously this doesn't sound too impressive; in fact, it probably reminds you of the average 3-reel slots game. But the difference in Starburst is that the gems and other symbols really sparkle through outstanding graphics. The cosmic background and mysterious music also add some intrigue when you're playing this game.

Starburst Slot Features

The primary feature in this game is Starburst Wilds, which substitute for any other symbol and expand to cover the entire reel that they appear on. Starburst Wilds also trigger a re-spin, and the maximum number of re-spins that you can trigger in a single turn is 5. Also note that Starburst Wilds can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.

The other notable feature of this game is Both Way Win, which means that you can win from left to right and from right to left on active paylines. Contrast this to almost every other slot game, where you can only form winning payline combinations from left to right.

Starburst Slot Payout (RTP%)

Starburst slot offers 96.1% RTP, which is average for NetEnt, but better than the online slots industry as a whole.

As you can see, Starburst is not exactly bursting with special features. But what makes this game stand out is its stellar graphics, intriguing music/background and easy gameplay. Add in that you at least get a couple of good features in Starburst Wilds and Both Way Win, and it's not hard to see why Starburst is so popular.
