Gameplay #
Starburst is one of the simplest but also one of the most enjoyable slot games, with no complex bonus rounds or jackpots. However, its simplicity has made Starburst an instant classic in every online casino.
Starburst has 5 columns and 3 rows, creating 10 paylines. The paylines run from left to right and from right to left. This doubles your chances of winning in Starburst. NetEnt calls this feature ‘win both ways’ in their slot machine.
- Highest value: Bar & 7
- Medium value: Yellow, green & orange gems
- Low value: Blue & purple gems
When playing Starburst, the ‘BAR’ symbol has the highest value. With a bet of £1, you win £25 when you create a payline with 5 BAR symbols.
Bonus round #
Although Starburst does not have a bonus round, it is certainly not a boring game. Among other things, there are expanding wilds and respins during the game, allowing you to quickly win an astronomical amount.
Expanding wilds #
Starburst owes its name to the expanding wilds represented by the star symbol. Players in the casino love to see these appear because, in addition to replacing other symbols on a winning line, the wild in Starburst takes up the entire column, giving you a great chance of extra winning lines. As icing on the cake, a wild immediately triggers a respin.

Respins #
The respins are the icing on the cake in the Starburst bonus round. The column with wilds remains in place, but you get an extra free spin. A nice extra chance to win. No wonder this slot game is so popular!
In the games, you can get up to 3 consecutive respins, after which you return to the main game and continue playing.
Starburst free spins #
Starburst also owes its popularity to the fact that many casinos offer this slot game. Because Starburst has a very low minimum stake of € 0.10, it is very advantageous for online casinos to give away these free spins when you create an account or make your first deposit.
