Starburst

In Starburst, you catch stars and gems in the hunt for the really big riches. Win up to 50,000 coins in this game where space meets the red carpet and glitter is interspersed with glamor and gems.

This has got to be the classic of classics! There is probably hardly a player in our long country who has never tried Starburst. It has always been, and still is today, a game you get free spins on in connection with the welcome bonus. So why exactly did Starburst become so immensely popular?

It’s hard to say exactly why, but one reason may have been simplicity. There are few games that are as clear and easy to understand as this one. When you click the game information button, there are only two pages: one showing the number of paylines and symbols, and one explaining the Starburst Wilds. But another explanation could also be coincidence. There are many games that are similar to Starburst, but which have not become as popular at all.

Starburst slot review

This arch-classic from NetEnt appeared back on January 22, 2012, but is still (almost) as popular. It is a video slot with five reels and three rows and ten paylines – but here the paylines count from both sides. The minimum bet is SEK 1 and the maximum is 1,000. Maximum profit amounts to SEK 500,000. The theme is stars and space, albeit in a slightly psychedelic way.

There are not very many bonus features in Starburst. You have expanding wilds that cover entire reels as soon as they appear as well as respins after each wild’s entry. There are no scatters and no real bonus round. RTP is 96.01% and volatility is low.

Starburst bonus

The only way you can get a bonus in Starburst is by spinning a so-called Starburst Wild. It then immediately expands to cover the entire wheel, whereupon you get a re-spin regardless of whether you win anything or not. Up to three Starburst Wilds can be on the board at the same time (on reels two, three and four). The maximum number of spins is therefore three.

Starburst jackpot

No, there is no such thing. The highest win is half a million kroner, and to reach that amount you must bet the maximum and get three Starburst Wilds with the maximum payout.

RTP and volatility

The Starburst RTP isn’t great at 96.01%, but since the volatility is so low, you can still count on small wins at regular intervals. Precisely the low volatility has made Starburst a popular game to give out free spins on, as they rarely result in big wins (casinos aren’t stupid, after all). RTP stands for Return To Player and is an extremely theoretical number for how much money you are expected to get back. The higher the RTP, the more generous the game. Anything over 96% is passed without a shine.
