What you get in the original Starburst#
Starburst is the NetEnt original, and it went live on 23 January 2012. You spin five reels, three rows and ten paylines in the space-and-gem setting that made the slot famous. You can see which rule produced the symbols in front of you.
The main feature is the expanding Starburst Wild. Land one and it stretches across its whole reel, stands in for paying symbols and gives you a respin. The Wild arrives on reels two, three and four. If another Wild drops during a respin, you collect another respin, up to three in total, and the stake stays the one that triggered the feature. Read how to play for a full spin in order, or open features for the Wild cycle on its own. Everything here describes the original game; Starburst XXXtreme and Starburst Galaxy are different games with their own maths.
Pay both ways and read the paytable#
Wins run from the leftmost reel to the right and from the rightmost reel to the left. On each active line you are paid the higher of the two directions, so a line pays once.
The paytable covers BAR, 7 and the coloured gems. For three, four and five matching symbols: BAR pays 50, 200 and 250; 7 pays 25, 60 and 120; the yellow gem pays 10, 25 and 60; green 8, 20 and 50; orange 7, 15 and 40; blue and purple 5, 10 and 25. The values sit on the game’s coin value, and the information panel shows why a win was awarded.
The documented basic stake range runs from €0.10 to €100. Ten fixed lines are documented for the original game, while a historical Italian configuration recorded selectable lines from one to ten. Your own screen always shows the stake and setup that apply to your session.
RTP 96.08% and the 800x maximum#
The current public provider page lists RTP of 96.08%, a hit frequency of 23% and a maximum payout of 800 times total bet for the original Starburst. These are long-run product statistics and a stated product limit, so treat them as the scope of the game rather than as a forecast for your next spin. Historical documents keep further named configurations at 96.09%, 95.05%, 94.05%, 93.05%, 92.05%, 90.05%, 98.05% and 99.06%, each attached to its own labelled wallet setup. RTP sets all of those figures side by side.
Play Starburst from this page#
Start at the app page or the general download page , register or log in, then read the account information and terms shown to you. On Android, begin at Android download ; on iPhone and iPad, use iOS download . The partner screen shows the app download and the technical details for the device you select.
Your account may come with a deposit bonus or Free Spins under the terms displayed there, and you claim them where they appear. They are an account benefit and sit alongside the game rather than inside the Wild respin. The demo page shows the screen first. Starburst is for players of legal age, so keep your play inside your own budget.
Does this page cover Starburst XXXtreme?#
No. Everything here is the original Starburst. XXXtreme is a different title with its own documented maths and Wild multipliers.
What triggers the Starburst respin?#
A Starburst Wild expands across its reel, substitutes for paying symbols and starts a respin. Another Wild during a respin adds one more, up to three.
What does 96.08% RTP mean for my spins?#
It is the long-run return listed on the original game’s provider page. It describes the product over a long period rather than the result of one spin.
Can I get Free Spins with my account?#
Your account may include a deposit bonus or Free Spins under the current terms. Read them where they are shown; the Wild respin is part of the game itself.
Next step: open the app page , log in and play the original Starburst with your welcome offer waiting in your account.
