The stars have aligned to reveal your true winning potential and the outlook is bright! Starburst from NetEnt is filled with bright jewels, stacked wilds and re-spins that light the way to spectacular wins, with up to £50,000 to be won. To top it off, Starburst pays both ways, so you can be sure to scoop up some serious winning combos. Let’s blast off!

How to play Starburst

Starburst video slot by NetEnt has 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines that pay both ways. It’s one of the most played slots in Mr Green’s Casino and is loved by players the world over. It’s easy to see why so many have been captivated by Starburst’s bright jewels, set against a glowing cosmic backdrop. The game has a classic arcade feel, which is enhanced by the sound effects that explode into life when you reel in a win.

Starburst’s symbols consist of glittering jewels of varying shapes and colours, the lucky number 7 and the highest paying symbol, the Bar. There’s so much attention to detail, the symbols shimmer with light, the back ground sparkles with space dust. Each time you score a win, the reels light up with vibrant colours and the sound effects punctuate each winning combination.

While it may lack a bonus round, Starburst is anything but boring, the Starburst wild far makes up for what the game lacks in additional features. The Starburst wild can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 and when it hits you certainly won’t miss it. It expands to fill the entire reel and triggers a re-spin, this can happen up to three times. If you’re lucky enough to get the middle three reels filled with the bright, glitzy Starburst wild then you’re bound to reel in a massive combo, up to a possible payout of 50,000 coins – a truly astronomical sum.

Starburst is very flexible in terms of betting range, you can play as low as £0.01, playing on the middle payline alone. If you’re in the mood for playing big, then you can bet as high as £100 per spin. Starburst pays out often, so it is a great choice for players who are looking to maximise their play time while waiting to reel in that big win.

Starburst features

While it may not be packed to the brim with features, Starburst still shines bright amongst all the games at Mr Green. The slots success is down to its simplicity, the game is bright, eye-catching and exciting. Another of Starburst’s draws is that it allows players to play across all paylines for just £0.10 a spin.

The Starburst wild, which expands to fill the entire reel is what keeps you spinning. The rainbow symbol can appear anywhere on the middle 3 reels and when it does the games sound ramps up and you are awarded a re-spin. Each additional wild grants a re-spin, so you can get up to 3 total. The Starburst wild is what brings in the bigest wins, it appears frequently and the re-spin gives you the opportunity to scoop up even more winning combinations.

The two-way pays in Starburst add an extra dimension to the game and increases your wins, especially in the case of five-of-a-kind combinations, where you effectively double the win. If the stars align and you are lucky enough to hit three wilds on the middle reels, you’re bound to scoop up some serious coins.

Starburst Wild

It bursts onto the screen with a flash of colour, expands across the reel, filling it with a rainbow glow. It links up the bright, glittering jewels and then the reels spin again, with the wild symbol still in place, you win again and the whole screen dances with flashing lights. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Starburst wild.

The Starburst wild has become one of the most well-known features of any slot and has excited players for years. The wild can appear anywhere on the middle three reels, and it expands to cover the entire reel. To make things sweeter, the wild triggers a free re-spin, which can be re-triggered if you get another wild on any of the other reels. This can happen until the middle three reels are stacked with wilds. Three reels of stacked wilds will get you even closer to the stellar 50,000 coin max payout.

Starburst in-game bonus features

Starburst is one of the best games around for payouts, and players win frequently, due in part to the two-way pays, which pay winning combinations from left to right and right to left. While the game may lack a free spin or bonus round, the Starburst wild blows any bonus round out of the water and straight up into space. It’s truly quality over quantity in the case of Starburst.

The Starburst wild can appear anywhere on reels 2, 3, and 4 and it expands to fill the entire reel and triggers a free re-spin, which can be retriggered if you hit another wild, up to 3 times total. With the middle three reels wild you can score some really big wins, especially if you’re lucky enough to get a five-of-a-kind combination as the two-way pay will double your winnings!
