No deposit Free Spins on Starburst slots

NetEnt’s famous Starburst game has been with us since 2013, though it still looks as though it was launched yesterday thanks to its timeless theming and evergreen New Age-style soundtrack - and it’s as popular as ever.

When this game first appeared it was another of NetEnt’s large family of slots and although it was well received there were plenty of other new games to enjoy. Starburst, though, quickly gained prominence as it become the default slot for dozens of casino promotions. Sites giving away free spins did so on this game more often than not, and many still do.

Starburst’s universal appeal is the key to its popularity: It’s not themed around gender-specific concepts like cars, action movies or shopping and it’s also very stylish. Featuring a collection of gemstones on the reels with an array of high energy, explosive effects that cover the screen when you make big wins, it’s always a pleasure to play. With a hypnotic soundtrack playing in the background the overall effect is far more therapeutic than on most other games, which is another reason behind its success with the public.

Game features

You can score winning lines both ways on this game. That means wins pay from right to left as well as left to right. It makes for much more interesting sessions with more frequent line wins.

Secondly, there’s a feature wild symbol. The trademarked Starburst Wild works like a scatter symbol initially, but once three appear on the screen one of them will expand into a stacked wild covering all of Reel Two, Three or Four. This privilege comes with a re-spin as well to help you gain maximum advantage from the stack wild, so it’s a very attractive feature.

Jackpots

There’s a top jackpot on this game of £2,500, achieved by lining up five of the top-ranking bar symbols. Trailing behind these are the lucky seven symbol , with the five gemstones taking up the remaining positions, so at no point are you faced with the stock poker symbols (10, J, Q, K, A) on the reels which is also a nice touch, giving what is a nicely uncluttered game an extra element of originality.

RTP%

Starburst comes with an RTP of 96.1% which is a very respectable figure, and it has a low volatility level. This means that it pays out regularly and in steady quantities, which is hardly surprising as winning lines go both ways.

User friendliness

Starburst is one of the most user friendly slots you can find out there. The only thing that sets it apart from most other slots is that you can win by forming combinations both ways, normally you would only be able to creating winning combinations from left to right.

The wild symbol in Starburst is the nowadays iconic rainbow coloured star that can be seen below. This star and the way it triggers a re-spin, while staying in its place, is together with the sounds and graphics part of what makes this game so popular. Every single spin gets exciting thanks to the two way win feature, and the wild symbol's characteristics. That's a lot more than you can say about most slots.

The fact that Starburst is a low to medium volatile slot means that you will win often, albeit there will seldom be any big wins. And you can completely forget about life changing jackpot sums like those you can get while playing Mega Moolah, for example.

All in all, it's a slot that is very easy to understand - even for a complete slot novice - and it's also varied enough to keep more experienced players' interest for hours and hours of game play.

Graphics and sound

A clean interface, smooth animations and high res symbols is what makes Starburst a real piece of eye candy. Five of the seven symbols are shining gemstones, all with deep colours and of different value.

The symbols are, in an order of ascendning value, purple gemstones, blue gemstones, red gemstones, green gemstones, yellow gemstons, the 7 and the BAR symbol. The rainbow coloured star, the game's wild symbol, can substitute all other symbols - but it can only appear on reel 2, 3 or 4.

The music is relaxing, un-obtrusive and very well suited with the theme since it gives you the feeling of floating through outer space in complete harmony. You can listen to the music for hours without getting tired, which is actually a pre-requisite for making a slot that works in the long run. But for some reason, a lot of developers seems to have missed this completely.

With that said, this is a relaxing and soothing slot that can be enjoyed as a way if winding down after a hard, stressful day at work. NetEnt have made an astonishing work when it comes to developing the sound and every time you land a star, the intensity of the music and background sounds is raised, together with your pulse - we might add - as you await the wins that the wild symbol will give.
