Multicolored eight-pointed Starburst Wild appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4. When it lands, it expands to cover the entire reel and triggers a re-spin while staying locked in position.
Each new Wild that lands during a re-spin expands and triggers another re-spin. Maximum three Wilds can appear for three consecutive re-spins, all held in expanded form.
All 10 paylines pay from left-to-right AND right-to-left simultaneously. This doubles your winning opportunities on every single spin, unique to Starburst.

Starburst uses a fixed 10-payline system where all lines are always active. Your total bet equals: Bet Level (1-200) multiplied by 10 paylines multiplied by Coin Value (0.01 to 10.00). Minimum bet is 0.10, maximum reaches 20,000.00 in high-roller mode.
Wins are calculated as: Paytable multiplier times Bet Level equals coins won. Then coins won times Coin Value equals your currency payout. Example: Landing five BAR symbols at bet level 1 pays 250 coins. If your coin value is 1.00, that converts to 250.00 currency units.
The both-ways mechanic is crucial: traditional slots only pay left-to-right, but Starburst evaluates every payline in both directions separately. If you get three Purple Diamonds reading left-to-right on line 1 AND three Green Cubes reading right-to-left on line 5, both wins pay out simultaneously and get added together.
Starburst is classified as low volatility, meaning frequent smaller wins rather than rare massive payouts. The 96.09% RTP is distributed across regular symbol combinations rather than concentrated in bonus features. With 10 active paylines paying both ways, you effectively have 20 winning directions, significantly increasing hit frequency.
The Wild re-spin feature triggers more frequently than high-volatility bonus rounds but pays moderate amounts. Three expanded Wilds (maximum scenario) create 15 Wild positions across the center of the grid, virtually guaranteeing multiple payline wins, but individual line payouts remain within reasonable ranges rather than explosive multipliers.
Since all 10 paylines are fixed and always active, you cannot adjust line count. Your only betting controls are Bet Level and Coin Value. Starting with minimum bet level allows extended play sessions while learning symbol frequencies. The MAX BET button immediately sets highest bet level with current coin value and auto-spins, useful for high-rollers but risky for casual players.
Autoplay settings offer risk management: stop on any win, stop if single win exceeds specified amount, stop if balance increases or decreases by set threshold. For low-volatility slots like Starburst, setting stop-if-cash-decreases limits prevents gradual bankroll erosion during cold streaks.
Starburst is a game of chance with a house edge. The 96.09% RTP means that over millions of spins, the game returns 96.09% of total bets to players as wins, while 3.91% represents the house edge. Individual sessions can vary dramatically from this theoretical return. Never bet more than you can afford to lose. Set deposit limits and time limits.
