Starburst

Rules of the Starburst Slot

The Starburst video slot has three adjustable settings:

• the number of active lines;
• the size of the bet;
• the cost of a game currency unit in credits.

The number of paylines active during the spin is set in the Lines menu. With its help, the player is given an opportunity to choose from 1 to 10 directions. The Level menu is used to adjust the bet. It can be from 1 to 10 virtual coins per line. The unit of game currency in credits is set using the Coin Value control element.

Also, there are the following keys on the console under the reels of the Starburst video slot:

• Autoplay – starts spins in the automatic mode;
• Max Bet – activates the maximum bet amount;
• Paytable – opens the payouts table;
• Button with a circular arrow – starts a single spin manually.

The winnings are possible for the combinations of 3, 4, or 5 identical images on the active payline. In this video slot, there are no risk game functions and bonus rounds.

Winnings and Bonuses

The set of images in the Starburst video slot partially resembles symbols in the one-armed bandits of the classic genre. In particular, the most expensive image has the coefficients of 50, 200, and 250 and is executed in the form of the Bar inscription. When it comes to the cost, the second place is occupied by the symbol of seven. It multiplies the line bet by 25, 60, and 120 times. Other regular icons are made in the form of precious stones and have such coefficients:

• yellow stone – 10, 25, 60;
• green stone – 8, 20, 50;
• orange stone – 7, 15, 40;
• blue and purple stones – 5, 10, 25.

The winning combinations have to start on the first reel and form from left to right.

In the Starburst slot, there is a wild symbol that depicts the seven-pointed star with multi-colored rays. It appears only on three central reels. When falling out, this icon occupies the entire row vertically. Each occurrence of the image starts the re-spins of the reels, during which no money is withdrawn from the player’s account. It is possible to start up to 3 re-spins in a row.

How to Win the Starburst Slot

In the Starburst slot, the theoretical return percentage (RTP) is 96.1%. One of the advantages of the device is the availability of a function that allows you to regulate the number of active paylines. The more of these paylines the player uses, the higher his chances of forming a winning combination. Thanks to the re-spins, each round can bring even larger payments than promised by the payouts table. Because the standard structure of the playing field (5×3) uses relatively few regular characters (7), the slot is characterized by a high frequency of winning combinations.
