The provider-page reference is 96.08%#

The public provider page for the original Starburst records RTP of 96.08%, a hit frequency of 23% and a maximum payout of 800 times total bet. Those three figures belong to the original game’s provider-page record, each with its own scope: RTP is a theoretical long-run return, hit frequency is a long-run statistic, and the maximum payout is a stated product limit.

The game’s five-reel, three-row layout and ten paylines give those numbers their setting. An expanding Wild and its respin belong to an individual round, while the percentage describes the slot across a very long stretch of play. See features for the cycle itself and how to play for the line and payout rules.

Each number belongs to the product and configuration it was documented for. Here that is the current public provider page for the original Starburst.

Historical figures are records with labels#

The same historical documentation carries configuration-specific hit frequencies and Wild-trigger frequencies. Each value belongs to the setup it was recorded against.

Some operator pages publish other values, including 94% and 97.6%, and those statements are operator-scoped: they may apply to a named runtime or locale.

The original Starburst also stays different from XXXtreme and Galaxy. XXXtreme has a separately recorded RTP of 96.45% and a maximum payout of 16,800 times bet, while Galaxy has its own 96% record and a different game structure. The name family is not a shared configuration.

Maximum payout and hit frequency#

The 800x maximum payout is the product ceiling in the original-game material: the top of the range rather than a typical round. The 23% hit frequency works the same way, describing a statistical property across a modelled body of play rather than the number of winning rounds in a short sitting. A paying spin can be small, a quiet spin can come right before a Wild, and each round stands on its own.

The original Starburst record sets the documented basic bet range at €0.10 to €100. Historical materials use coin values and wallet identifiers, and operator pages may show local currencies or different controls, so the runtime information for your own account applies.

The demo page and how to play show what is happening on the screen.

Access and bonuses#

Play from the app page or download : tap through, sign in, and your current account terms may include a deposit bonus or Free Spins. Claim what suits you where it is displayed. Those benefits work on your balance and sit alongside the game’s RTP reference, hit frequency and Wild-triggered respin, all of which keep their documented behaviour.

For device-specific access, see Android download and iOS download , which lead to the same partner screen with the available app download and the technical details for the device you select. Starburst is for players of legal age, so play within a budget.

What does 96.08% RTP mean?#

It is the theoretical long-run return listed on the original game’s provider page: a product figure measured across a long period rather than one spin or session.

Why are there other RTP values on record?#

What is the 800x maximum payout?#

It is the documented maximum for the product, the top of the range rather than an average round.

Do promotional Free Spins change the RTP?#

No. A deposit-linked Free Spins offer is governed by your account terms and sits apart from the documented game statistic.
