Starburst is an arcade-style NetEnt slot built around glowing gemstones on a bright space backdrop. Its 5x3 grid carries 10 paylines that pay from the left and from the right, and the only bonus mechanic is a wild that expands, sticks and respins.
Game mechanics
Five reels of three rows hold 10 fixed paylines, and each line is read in both directions: a run of matching gems can begin on the leftmost reel or on the rightmost one.
Starburst Wilds appear only on the middle three reels. One that lands grows to cover its whole reel, locks there and triggers a respin; a further Wild during that respin locks as well and earns another, up to three respins in a row.
Features
- Starburst Expanding Wild. Can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. As soon as it appears it stretches over every position on that reel.
- Sticky Wild Respins. The expanded Wild holds its place while the other reels spin again, and each new Wild in the sequence locks too, for up to three consecutive respins.
- Both-Ways Pays. Gems on any of the 10 lines count whether the run starts on the first reel or on the fifth.
How to play the free demo
- Keep your eyes on reels 2, 3 and 4 of the Starburst demo, the only places a Starburst Wild can land. When one does, it fills the reel and the game respins.
- Any further Wild that lands during the respin expands and locks too, earning another respin, which is how the sequence can reach its limit of three.
- Read every result from both ends of the screen, because a line of gems that starts on the right-hand reel pays as well.
- Between spins, the bet level and coin value under the reels change the stake.
Why try the Starburst demo
The respin sequence on the middle three reels is the whole bonus in Starburst, and the demo shows how far it can build, from one locked Wild up to three. Spinning it is also a clear way to learn the both-ways paylines, since a win that starts on the right-hand reel is easy to overlook at first.
