There are thousands of slots from all sorts of developers and hundreds of those produced by NetEnt. However, the Starburst slot machine has been one of the most popular among players for more than five years. And if we consider only NetEnt products, then it officially occupies a leading position.
In the summer of 2018, a NetEnt representative answered a question about the popularity of Starburst. It was said that according to the data he had, this is indeed their most popular slot. So, there can be no doubt about this.
A possible secret to the success of this slot is that players like low variance, and Starburst is one of the lowest variance NetEnt slots. This means that he pays out more often, albeit in smaller amounts. The slot is also as simple and unobtrusive as possible.
Often casinos give players welcome free spins on this particular slot. Since the variance is one of the smallest here, the winnings are more even and there are no crazy multipliers that are possible in other slots. Therefore, it is safer for operators to offer bonuses on this slot machine.
There is nothing complicated here. Set the coin value and bet level in the lower menu and click on start. Nothing more needs to be done. There are only 10 lines and they are all fixed. There are only 8 symbols, including the main one - an expanding wild in the form of a star. Payments in both directions.
If a wild symbol appears, the player gets a free respin. If at the same time another wild appears on the other reel, then an additional respin is launched. There can be up to 3 respins in total. With the best of luck, you will have all three central reels filled with wilds. And this guarantees payouts on all lines.
That's all there is in the Starburst slot. Autoplay is standard for all NetEnt slots, including this one. You choose the number of spins, and additionally you can set a stop under different conditions: reaching a certain amount of winnings, lowering/increasing the balance, or with any win.
You can play Starburst for free right on our website. Just click on the button below. Alternatively, go to the NetEnt casino website and run the demo game there. The slot will also be available directly from the developer's website.
We recently reported that Play'n GO canceled the launch of Starblast, allegedly due to copyright infringement. It was very similar to the famous Starburst, and it's not just about the name and theme, but also about functionality. More than two weeks have passed since the scheduled launch of Starblast (March 20), so the version that there was a conflict with NetEnt probably turned out to be true.
