Look and feel

Starburst is a space-themed slot - such is its popularity, it has defined this genre in the iGaming sphere. The game consists of alluring game symbols and designs. The reels are colourful, packed with multi-shaped sparkling jewels. The cosmic background music accompanies stunning sound effects and futuristic graphics to offer up a mesmerising iGaming experience. The colour scheme is attractive to the eye and reflects both the space-like theme and the arcade game style.

Gameplay

Starburst comes under the category of low to medium variance slot. The maximum win per spin/re-spin is 500 x the spin-stake. The most important symbol is the Starburst wild that can appear anywhere on the three middle reels (reels 2, 3 and/or 4) - this is because it can substitute for all symbols. For example, three Bar symbols and one Starburst wild on a payline will result in a 4 of a kind Bar win (20 x the spin-stake). The Starburst symbol not only turns the entire reel into a Wild Reel, giving you a good chance of creating rewarding combinations, but it also triggers a free spin where the Wild reel remains in place, giving you twice the chance of hitting it big. 

Bonus features

The Starburst slot game comes with one bonus feature. Although it doesn’t offer traditional free spins, the Starburst Wild expands to give you wild reels and respins that result in 3 wild reels. 

Starburst Wild feature

The game solely focuses on the Starburst Wild symbol that aims at substituting all the other game symbols. It only appears on reels two, three, and four. When one expanding wild appears on any of the three middle reels, you will trigger the Starburst Wilds feature.

The Starburst Wild further expands over the entire reel to give you a wild reel. That wild reel remains locked in position with a free re-spin awarded. If another Starburst Wild appears, the process repeats to give you another wild reel and re-spin.

Closing thoughts

It may be one of NetEnt’s most straightforward video slot games, but it is also one of their most enjoyable. Get set for an invigorating cosmic journey by making the most of a galactical classic. Good luck!
