Starburst

Expanding Starburst Wilds on Reels 2, 3 and 4

Firstly, there are 7 basic symbols in the Starburst mobile slot. Among the classic one-armed bandit icons like Bars and 7’s, there are five colourful gems. And the most you can win for any 5 of such on a line is 250 coins.

Remember: The game pays in both directions, which explains why you can win only that little. But as usual, only the highest win per active pay-line from both ways is counted. Also, note that you still pay for 10 lines and not 20.

Now to the slot’s superstar symbol – Starburst Wild. It only appears on the three middle reels – reels 2, 3 and 4 – and each time you hit at least one of such, it’ll expand to cover the entire screen. What’s more, it can substitute for all symbols, partly because there are no Scatters in this game at all.

And here’s the best part.

Win Up to 3 Re-Spins at No Extra Cost

If you trigger a win as a result of the wild reel, you’ll get paid and a free re-spin as a bonus.

If you then manage to trigger yet another Starburst Wild then you’ll get yet another re-spin. This time there will be two wild reels for even bigger wins.

And as you can guess – this can happen for up to three times, after which the game will “restart”. Theoretically, the Starburst Wild should appear on every 10th spin or so, which is what you need to get you closer to the maximum payout.

However, all that comes at a cost…

Win Both Ways up to 50,000 Coins

The expanding Wilds, re-spins and both-way wins are the key to the “Super Mega Win!” celebrations.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind though. Starburst is among NetEnt’s riskiest games; at least when it comes to the long-term payout. Its hit frequency is only 22.7%, whereas medium volatility games normally start from around 30%.

If that’s what you’re looking for then your best bet would be the 2016-launched Aloha Cluster Pays. To mix it up with something less risky, have a go at the 30-line NRVNA with a 300,000-coin jackpot.

That in mind, we’d think Starburst payouts would balance it out (high risk = high reward, right?) The case is – Staburst has one of the smallest jackpots in NetEnt’s portfolio. The most you can win is 5,000 coins per line (50x bet) or 50,000 coins in total (5,000x bet).
