×500Max WinThree moments set the rhythm of every round — from a regular Win Both Ways spin to the Starburst Wild feature and its chain of re-spins.
A 5×3 grid and 10 fixed paylines with Win Both Ways: matches count left-to-right and right-to-left, so a single spin can complete more winning lines than it looks like at first glance.
The rainbow star Wild can land on reels 2, 3 or 4. When it does, it expands to fill the whole reel, sticks in place, and triggers a free re-spin on the remaining reels — this can repeat for up to three re-spins in a row.
There’s no separate free-spins bonus here — every win, including the biggest ones, comes from the base game and the Wild re-spin chain, with a maximum win around ×500 the stake.
The 5×3 grid keeps every round quick, Win Both Ways doubles the odds on a single spin, and the Starburst Wild's re-spin chain adds the game's signature dynamic.
Ten fixed paylines and wins that pay in both directions make almost every spin feel active, without any complicated rule set to learn.
An expanding, sticky Wild that can chain up to three re-spins in a row is the single mechanic that made Starburst famous.
Balanced for frequent, modest wins rather than rare giant ones — well suited to longer, steadier sessions.
A compact, classic symbol set — Bar, Lucky Number 7 and five coloured gems — keeps the paytable easy to read at a glance.
Five moments from the real interface — from checking the paytable to spinning the reels and setting up Autoplay.
Starburst runs directly in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone, with no app to install. The interface — bet controls, Spin button, Autoplay panel — stays clear and easy to reach at any screen size.
Starburst's paytable is refreshingly short: eight symbols in total, topped by the expanding Wild, with Bar and Lucky Number 7 as the two premium regulars and five coloured gems filling out the rest.
The theme here is the mechanic: every symbol is a faceted gem or a classic fruit-machine icon rendered as a glowing crystal, and the table on the right shows how each one is ranked.
Payouts below are shown as a multiple of the total stake for landing three matching symbols on an active payline. Exact values can vary slightly by operator.
| Symbol | Type | 3 of a Kind |
|---|---|---|
| Starburst Wild | Wild | Expands + re-spins |
| Bar | High | ×100 |
| Lucky Number 7 | High | ×50 |
| Yellow gem | Mid | ×20 |
| Green gem | Mid | ×9 |
| Orange gem | Low | ×5 |
| Blue gem | Low | ×5 |
| Purple gem | Low | ×5 |

Yes, most operators offer a demo mode with no registration and no real bets — a good way to try the Wild re-spin feature before playing for real money.
When the multicoloured star Wild lands on reel 2, 3 or 4, it expands to cover the whole reel, sticks in place, and triggers a free re-spin on the other reels. Landing another Wild during a re-spin can extend the chain, up to three re-spins in total.
Starburst is a low-volatility slot: wins tend to land often and stay modest in size, which is why it's a popular pick for longer, more relaxed sessions rather than chasing one huge hit.
Starburst runs in the browser on both desktop and mobile devices, with no app installation needed.
