Start with the right Starburst#
Check that the game screen says Starburst, the original NetEnt release. It came out in 2012 and the provider documentation describes five reels, three rows and ten paylines. Starburst XXXtreme and Starburst Galaxy are different games with their own bonus systems and published maths, so check the name.
The documented original bet range runs from €0.10 to €100. Pick a stake you can see on the actual screen rather than copying a number from a page. Ten fixed lines are documented for the original, while one historical Italian configuration recorded one to ten selectable lines, so use the setup your own game displays.
Before your first spin, find the stake control, the game history and the information panel. A round is much easier to read when you know what was selected before it started. The demo page shows the reels first, and the app page links to the real game through our partner.
Read paylines from both edges#
Starburst pays from the leftmost reel toward the right and from the rightmost reel toward the left. On a single active line you collect the highest award of the two directions, so when matching symbols appear from both sides, one line still pays once.
The paytable covers every result. Three, four and five BAR symbols pay 50, 200 and 250; 7 symbols pay 25, 60 and 120. The yellow gem pays 10, 25 and 60, green 8, 20 and 50, orange 7, 15 and 40, and blue or purple gems 5, 10 and 25. The values sit inside the game’s coin-value framework and explain a win the moment it appears.
Spin once, look at the paid line or lines, then compare the layout with the information panel. The features page shows why a Wild changes what the screen can display.
Follow the expanding Wild and its respins#
The main rule is the Starburst Wild on reels two, three and four. When it lands, it expands to cover the reel, substitutes for paying symbols and triggers a respin. Read the expanded reel and the new symbols, then look at the award.
If a further Wild lands during that respin, it grants another respin, up to a total of three. The stake from the triggering round stays in place throughout, so the feature costs no more than the spin that started it.
The original game has no bonus-buy option in the provider facts, Use features for a closer look at the Wilds and the boundary with the other Starburst titles.
