Bonus Mechanics in Starburst

1. Expanding Wilds: Starburst™ Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. When they land, they expand to cover the whole reel and trigger a re-spin. Expanded Wilds remain in place while the other reels spin again.
2. Re-Spins: Each new Wild during a re-spin will also expand and award an additional re-spin, up to a maximum of 3 consecutive re-spins.

How to Play Starburst

Starburst by NETENT is designed for simplicity and excitement. To start, choose your stake from €0.10 to €100.00 per spin (or $1.00 base bet in this example). The 5x3 layout offers 10 fixed paylines that pay both ways, left-to-right and right-to-left. Every spin can create a win in either direction, maximizing your chances with each round. Set your bet using the plus and minus controls, or activate autoplay for a series of uninterrupted spins. Watch for the iconic Starburst Wilds on reels 2, 3, and 4 — these expand to cover the entire reel, substituting for all other symbols. When a Wild lands, it not only fills the reel but also awards a re-spin. If you land another Wild during a re-spin, it expands as well and you get an additional re-spin — up to 3 times in a row for a cascade of wilds and potential wins. Payouts are awarded for matching 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols on a line, with the Golden BAR being the most valuable (up to 25x your bet for five on a line). The game does not include scatter symbols, free spins, or bonus buys — it’s all about the expanding wilds and both-ways pay mechanic. Starburst’s volatility is medium, so expect regular smaller wins, but the expanding wilds can quickly lead to a series of thrilling payouts. All wins are multiplied by your line bet, and only the highest win per line is paid.Visual feedback is dynamic: big wins and combos are celebrated with flashing text, arcade light effects, and a retro soundscape. The game is optimized for desktop and mobile play (mobile compatibility to be confirmed from full paytable), keeping the fast-paced arcade vibe no matter where you play. With a high RTP and legendary reputation, Starburst remains a favorite for both new and experienced slot fans.
