A Dazzling Happy Birthday to Starburst
It’s been 10 years since Starburst was created and it’s as popular today as the day of its launch! Enjoyed by current fans and new players alike, this win both ways release is not as basic as it looks. Wilds, dazzling gemstones, electrifying sounds and arcade-style affects work in tandem to deliver an immersive experience like no other.
In the last two and a half years alone, Starburst has had an incredible 18 billion spins and every single one of those has the potential to unlock astronomical wins regardless of stake. Graphics, ease of gameplay, being mobile compatible, the chance for big wins and thrilling animation prove this game is set to remain a timeless classic.
Glittering Entertainment
For those of our readers who are yet to try NetEnt’s Starburst, you can play for free in demo mode at Play OJO Bingo. Log into your bingo account, hover your mouse over the “i” icon and choose the practice mode option. Here you can get a feel of how the game works without risking your own money.
The 5-reel, 10 win line setup delivers wins from left to right as well as right to left. This means you only need a minimum of a 3-of-a-kind in any direction to land a win. The most valuable symbol is the BAR followed by the red 7. Spin in a rainbow wild on reel 2, 3 or 4 for to start those bonus spins. The rainbow wild will expand to cover the entire reel before the re-spin is initiated. Spin more wilds for more re-spins. There’s the potential for a win of up to 50,000 coins with all middle reels turning wild for those astronomical wins!
Two-Times the Fun
In 2021 NetEnt released a sequel – Starburst XXXtreme, staying true to the original release while incorporating new age features such as greater volatility and even more chances to win. The second instalment in the Starburst series also offers players the chance to activate XXXtreme Spins, a feature complete with guaranteed Starburst wilds with every spin!
The award-winning software provider weren’t about to let the 10-year anniversary of this legendary release go by without a fuss…
…instead they gathered all of their game creators and operators together and held a big party with live music, Starburst-themed photobooths, astronaut performers, a 3D mapped cake with real fireworks and food and drink.
Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, commented: “The event was an incredible way of celebrating Starburst’s 10-year anniversary. A decade long run for a single slot game is an incredible achievement, and it’s been a top favourite with players ever since it was first launched. From the looks of things, that’s going to keep going, and going, and going. Starburst is the full package – an exciting, classic game that entertains you right from the start. I can’t wait to see what the next decade brings.”
