Starburst

2012Space / Gems

Starburst is a iconic low-volatility space-themed slot by NetEnt, released in 2012, featuring a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines that pay both ways (left-to-right and right-to-left). The game's standout feature is the Starburst Wild — a jewel-studded star symbol that expands to cover reels 2, 3, or 4, locks in place, and triggers up to three free re-spins. With its vibrant gem symbols, arcade-inspired soundtrack, and a solid 96.09% RTP, it remains one of the most played and recognised online slots in history.
