MECHANICS

How Starburst works

Starburst uses five reels, three rows and ten paylines. Its Starburst Wild expands to cover a reel when it lands, then triggers a Respin. The feature is easy to identify on the grid: the wild's expansion is the signal that the reel locks for the extra spin. NetEnt lists this as the original Starburst title; variants such as Starburst XXXtreme have different rules and figures.

FEATURE

An expanding Wild and the Respin it starts

A Starburst Wild appears on a reel and expands over it. The game then gives a Respin with that reel held in its expanded state. Matching symbols across one of the ten paylines may change the resulting combination, after which the game returns to its regular spin sequence.

EXAMPLE

The Starburst bonus

In original Starburst, the expanding Wild activates a Respin; a scatter-triggered free-spins round is a different feature. The game help explains Wild substitution, the effect of the expanded reel on payline results and the end of a Respin. The provider lists 800× as this original title’s maximum payout.
