Starburst Slot

The iconic Starburst slot game by NetEnt requires no introduction, as this title's reputation speaks for itself. Released in 2013, the simple design features and base game mechanics, along with the creative bonus inclusions, have helped this title remain a favourite of players at BoyleSports Games for over 10 years!

Starburst Slot Game Background

The 5-reel, 3-row playgrid in the Starburst slot is filled with bright, crystal symbols that suit the sci-fi setting in this slot. There are 10 fixed paylines here across the playgrid here, with the payline count being displayed on either side of the reels. There is no frame here separating the play symbols from the backdrop in play, with each reel divided by simple lines that do not distract from the detailed deep space backdrop. 

The deep space setting of play here is arguably one of the most recognisable images in the slot industry, along with the Big Bass Bonanza fisherman or Rich Wilde himself! The contrast of bright symbols in front of a darker background truly stands out, with the only source of light behind the grid coming from the crescent of a distant planet. The game title, payline indicators, and other play features in the Starburst slot are designed in a way that does not distract from the overall aesthetic. Gameplay here is accompanied by some interesting audio features, including a shimmering soundtrack that only builds on top of the sci-fi theme. 

Starburst Slot Symbols

All of the symbols in the Starburst slot are based around the deep space setting here, so players will find none of the standard playing cards from casino table games. The play grid instead is filled with different coloured gemstones and classic fruit machine symbols like the BAR and 7 which have a sci-fi design.

Lower Value Symbols

• Purple Gemstone

• Blue Gemstone

• Red Gemstone

• Green Gemstone

• Yellow Gemstone

Higher Value Symbols

• 7

• BAR

Along with all of the base game symbols here, there is a multicoloured Starburst wild in play, with this colourful symbol being able to substitute for all of the other cosmic themed symbols in this release should it be landed on the purple hued reels.

Starburst Bonus Features

The main bonus features in the Starburst slot come from the pays-both-ways payline mechanic and the wild symbol that NetEnt has included in play. Fans of slot game bonus rounds may prefer titles like King Kong Cash Go Bananas Jackpot King, as there are no specific bonus rounds to trigger here. 

That does not mean that NetEnt hasn't included some features that bring bonuses to the playgrid in the Starburst slot. Like we have already said, the wild symbols mentioned above work the same as in many other online casino games by substituting for any other base game symbols.

However, the wild symbols also feature some surprising capabilities that set this game apart from the many others that feature this bonus. Whenever a wild symbol may land in play, it will expand to fill the entire reel, covering 3 rows at the same time. Following this, a respin could potentially be triggered in which the expanded wild remains sticky on the grid; landing further wilds could cause this to continue with up to 3 respins available from a single game. This wild modifier is also one that has been included in other popular games such as Slots O' Gold. 

Starburst Mobile Play

Gamers looking to enjoy this popular slot title without a desktop PC will be glad to hear of the cross-compatibility that NetEnt has included here. Thanks to the HTML5 mechanic that has been included here, gamers with a range of devices of varying screen sizes can enjoy all of the features in this Starburst slot game at BoyleSports. Gamers with laptops, smartphones and tablet devices connected to a secure source of internet will not have to downgrade on any of this titles' impressive qualities either!

Players looking for a stripped-back, simple slot game experience with interesting and entertaining design features may find this Starburst slot game to their liking. The bonus wild features and respins provide an extra layer to gameplay along with interesting main game symbols and mechanics in play. However, the cosmic theme is arguably the aspect of this release that has made this title such a popular one with players for so long now.

There are a whole range of other games which opt to include more bonus mechanics when compared to the Starburst slot, with the explorer centred Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop slot and the fishing focused Blueprint title Fishin Fenzy Even Bigger Catch Jackpot King being just two alternatives that we also have on site.
