Inside NetEnt's Starburst
Starburst by NetEnt is a space themed video slot with a five-by-three grid, ten paylines and a distinctive expanding-wild respin feature.
How the Starburst design fits together
Gems, bars and sevens form the visual theme. The paytable supplies their evaluated values, so the artwork alone is not a payout rule.
The five reels and three rows create the visible grid. Ten paylines specify evaluated paths; do not interpret the game as paying for any arbitrary cluster of matching gems.
The Starburst wild expands to cover its reel and triggers a respin. Its substitution role and the additional spin work together as one feature.
Following a feature example
For an illustrative feature event, imagine a Starburst wild appearing on an eligible reel. It expands vertically; the resulting positions are then interpreted under the paytable.
The triggered respin provides another symbol outcome while the feature applies its rules. This example explains the sequence and is not a claimed recorded win.
What to check in the rules
Check eligible wild positions and substitution exclusions in the named version's help. Do not assume a wild replaces every possible special symbol.
Read how expanding reels and respins continue or end. A respin is a defined feature event rather than an unlimited stream of extra turns.
The official product description identifies NetEnt as the developer. That attribution does not establish that this site operates or distributes the game.
