Blast from the Past: Super-classic Starburst!
Get starstruck & dial it back to the creation of a slot classic
Once in a while, a slot game comes along that completely changes the world of slots forever. During the years that online casinos have existed, this has happened a few times.
The Starburst slot from NetEnt is one of those.
Released in 2012, Starburst soared up amongst the greatest slot titles of all time, and it is still considered a timeless classic.
This is Starburst
Starburst is a super-easy video slot, allowing you to jump straight in and aim for the stars and big winnings!
The slot has three rows, five reels, and ten paylines, and completely lacks a bonus round. You might think, “well, that sucks,” but don’t worry, this game packs a punch!
First of all, the game pays both ways. Land at least three symbols on a payline from left-to-right or right-to-left, and you have a win!
Secondly, the unique Starburst Wild replaces all other symbols, and when it lands, it expands over the whole wheel, and triggers a re-spin! It can trigger up to three re-spins in one spin.
Starburst-inspired games
If you want solid proof of the popularity of this game, just take a look at all the slots that’s been created since, using the theme or features.
Many classic successful game titles have been copied, redone, and followed-up throughout the years, and Starburst is no different.
Different game providers attempt to create their version of the game, hoping that they’ll hit the jackpot of creating a new all-time classic.
Starz Megaways – Pragmatic Play
Although the mechanic of Megaways takes the number of “paylines” to a whole different level, the wild-symbol bares a strong resemblance to the Starburst Wild.
The wild is a red and yellow sun-like star that expands when it lands. Sounds familiar?
Inferno Star – Play’n GO
Although this slot veers away from the crystal-like symbols of the original, the re-spin feature of its scatter symbol still gives a Starburst-vibe.
The game lacks a bonus round; instead, the sun-symbol triggers the re-spin, with additional re-spins possible when more suns land.
Star Spinner – Blueprint Gaming
With the Jackpot King-enhancement, this Blueprint game bears close to no resemblance to Starburst, until you see the Star Spinner symbol that it.
The game pays both ways, has ten paylines, and a re-spin feature. In other words, the same mechanics, different design.
