Starburst Free Demo
The Starburst Slot- is this NetEnt’s finest slot? Well, they have some pretty fine games, but this must be a contender. It’s probably their most popular game so that says something- like the Foxin’ Wins slot is for NextGen.
It’s a very bright and vivid game with some pretty traditional symbols like BARS, 7s, and various different coloured gemstones and it has 10 pay-lines. But the big news, is that symbols pay from left to right (like most slots starting from reel 1) AND from right to left (starting from reel 5). The highest win will be paid out on each acive pay-line (they don’t pay out twice unfortunately- that would be nice wouldn’t it!)

Starburst Slot Review
Net Entertainment are well known for their punchy graphics and entertaining game play (try the newer Wild Wild West slot out for instance)- so much so, that the longer established developers like Microgaming, Playtech and IGT have had to up their game to keep in contention. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of competition!

OK- so when you first fire Starburst up, it looks like a traditional fruity, although the graphics are pretty swish. Once you start playing, you will realise that this is an unfair comparison! If you the sort of player who likes maximum flexibility on betting, then you are going to love this game as you can select different coin sizes, pay-lines and bet levels on this game. We’d suggest going for all 10 lines and managing your bet with the coin size and bet level. But it depends how volatile you want the slot to be. You’ll see more wins with 10 pay-lines activated, but the return on your overall bet may be lower. It’s a similar theory when you cover a lot of the table in roulette versus just betting on a few numbers. High table coverage is like betting on maximum pay-lines. Low table coverage is like betting on fewer pay-lines
Starburst Wilds
You’ll see some nice action off the wild symbols which are the multi-coloured star symbols- even more so than the Superman II slot, and that’s saying something. They will stand in for all of the symbols and they appear on the middle 3 reels: 2,3, and 4. But that’s not all. They expand over the entire reel and trigger a re-spin- you can get up to 3 re-spins on these babies! You can win up to 50,000 coins on this slot- if you are playing £1 coins, that is quite a jackpot it’s not half bad if you play with 10p coins!)
Combos
When you bag a win on more than one pay-line, you’ll see “COMBO” flash up. With the Expanding Wilds, you may well see a “SUPER-COMBO” and if the whole screen explodes in a big Supernova, you may even see MEG COMBO, BIG WIN!
That’s when it gets exciting.
Summary
A fantastic slot- we can understand why it is so popular. There are no scatters and no bonus rounds, so you might be scratching your heads trying to understand why this game is so popular.
Well it’s all about those Expanding Starburst wilds and their accompanying re-spins. When you get a few of these, and the wins start racking up both left to right AND right to left, you’ll quickly understand this game’s popularity.

Personal tester's opinion about Starburst slot
Starburst slot has a short cycle and a low dispersion of the winning. Note, that this machine is showing 'win both ways' game play. It is still very popular in online casinos and creates a massive prize pool for winnings. The game keeps the balance and not the worst choice for wagering (5.97 from 10). The probability of any hit during the next spin reaches 22.46%. If you're lucky enough to catch three wild symbols, you will get two big winnings (triggering spin and re spin with wilds).
It seemed to me that, the best total amount to bet is €10 per spin — not the best idea to high roll here (especially in small casinos). During the real money testing my biggest winning was 438x. Try to do 30-50 test spins at low stake to determine the mood of the machine before launching the game for the real money. The potential of winning is low here, but in Starburst you can play via bigger stakes (like 1/50 of your balance) and look at the behavior of the machine during first 30-50 spins.
Review and recommendations from the testing team
This slot is a classic, because it’s old, both regarding graphics and game play (total missing of bonus games and free spins), with extremely low chances for a big win.
- It has low volatility and is not too bad at keeping the balance because it doesn’t let it drop a lot.
- Increasing the balance on this slot is quite difficult. Despite the regular appearance of wild symbols, the slot often puts different symbols with them, which prevents from getting a big win. Chances to catch 3 wild symbols are not high.

Considering all this, it can be said the slot is neither suitable for games whose aim is to have fun or for games with real money. But it is rather designed for games with bonus money to fulfil the wagering requirement.
Netent declares the following probabilities
- The percentage of the return of the made bets in the slot is 96.09%. It consists of winnings during the usual spins (68.7%) and during re-spins with wild symbols (stars) is 27.4%.
- Probably of getting any winning - 22.7%.
- The probability of getting Wild symbol is 8.4%. This number is showing the probability of getting any first wild symbol. We do not have data for 2 or 2 wilds at the same time.
- The maximum winning is 50,000 coins.

Appearance
Starburst slot is made in retro style. There are classic symbols of BAR and 777 which were used in Vegas in the 80s. I think by creating this slot, the developers did not expect it to grow so wildly popular. Beautiful, well-drawn characters and fast game play make the game pleasant and not tiring. Win both ways and wild symbols covering the entire reel vertically with free re-spin, making the game fun. Sound effects as always are at the top.
Special symbols
The game play is exciting and straightforward. In this slot, there are no additional bonuses and the free spins features.
- A feature of Starburst slot is wild symbols. They can only appear on the second, third and fourth reels. With one or more wild symbols, it replaces the entire vertical reel. After that re spin comes (for free) with a fixed reel on which are wild symbols.
- If during free re-spin another wild symbol drop, both of the reels are fixed and will come to another re-spin with 2 wild reels. The maximum number of possible re-spins is three and the reels 2, 3 and 4 will be wilds.
- It is worth noting that the most significant winning will be paid if you are lucky enough to catch two or three wild symbols in one spin. The maximum payout per single spin is limited to 50,000 coins.

How to win at Starburst slot machine? (conclusion)
There is a golden rule we recommend to each player - test the slot machines in demo mode before you decide to deposit. In this way, you will be able to understand the 'mood' of the machine. If you don't have the patience to wait and you want to play, you can try the tactic of testing the machine on small bets. At least your first 30 - 50 spins are on a low bet and then decide whether to continue or not. We believe this online game is good for a bet of €10, but we generally do not think it's one of the best to make high-rolling. Unlike many others, this slot machine does not require a big balance - about 50 bets. The game is potentially good for the bonus hunters because it keeps the balance well.
