What is Starburst Slot?

Starburst is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 paylines. The 10 paylines play both left to right and right to left, meaning you can win from either side.

It’s also one of the most popular and most famous slots of all time. When you get a big win, cosmic fireworks will appear on-screen and dazzle you with flashes of light and electrifying sounds. With bonus features, wilds and a quick spin option, it brings together excitement and great play into a game that’s out-of-this-world.

How to Play Starburst

Starburst is a simple and straightforward slot to play. It works like this:

• Choose your stake.
• Hit SPIN to get those reels moving.
• Match 3 or more symbols along the 10 available paylines to win cash prizes.
• Land Starburst Wild symbols that expand over the reels and activate up to three re-spins.

You win by matching three or more of the same symbol on a payline, with payouts as follows:

• Purple and Blue Gems: 0.5x, 1x and 2.5x for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
• Orange Gems: 0.7x, 1.5x and 4x for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
• Green Gems: 0.8x, 2x and 5x for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
• Yellow Gems: 1x, 2.5x and 6x for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
• Red Sevens: 2.5x, 6x and 12x for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
• BAR Symbols: 5x, 20x and 25x for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.

All high wins in the game are followed by a special Big Win presentation.

Bonus Mechanics: Expanding Wilds

When the Wild symbols appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, they are then animated with a streak of vibrant colours and then expand over the reel and hold in place while the other reels re-spin.

Starburst Wild Re-Spins

By getting one fully Wild reel, you’ll get one free spin with that Wild locked in place for the re-spin. If you land another Wild on one of the other two reels, you get another re-spin with two fully wild reels locked in place. You can earn three re-spins in total by turning reels 2, 3 and 4 fully wild in successive spins.

When it’s time for your third and final re-spin with all three middle reels wild, if you can fill reels one and five with BAR Symbols, you’ll bag the 500x maximum jackpot.

Win Both Ways

With Starburst, the 10 paylines play both left to right and right to left (instead of just left to right, like on most slots). This means you can win from either side.

RTP, Volatility & Max Win

Starburst is a low volatility slot, which means you’ll experience more wins but for smaller payouts. It has an RTP of 96.10%, meaning that it should theoretically pay out on average £96.10 for every £100 played over a prolonged period of play.

The maximum win is 500x your bet.

Why Starburst is a Player Favourite

You can’t beat the classics, and Starburst really is a classic slot. It’s simple to play and understand, and will pay out frequently. Plus, it plays both ways, with a fun re-spin feature.

There has also never been a video slot that provides players with as much positive feedback as Starburst. All winning combinations are followed by dazzling, arcade-like light effects indicating the winning line and animated texts, such as Combo and Super Combo.

The Big Win presentation, on the other hand, is the real pinnacle of excitement with blasts of light, flashing text and electrifying sounds, all of which emphasise the significance of the moment.
