STARBURST is an ultra-modern looking online video slot powered by NETENTERTAINMENT (NetEnt) that has 5 reels and just 10 winning paylines. As well as being able to view the paytable, the game will also tell you the value of the symbols and what each symbol does just by hovering over them and clicking on them when the reels have stopped spinning.

This is quite a rare attribute, as most slots make you view the paytable to find the value of each symbol. The sound effects and background music are amazingly euphoric. This alone makes the slot seem like a lot more than it actually is.

The symbols on the reels include (from lowest valued to highest) Purple Gems, Blue Gems, Orange Gems, Green Gems, Yellow Gems, Red 7’s and the Gold Bars.

The STARBURST™ logos are this game’s WILD symbol. They will substitute for all other symbols on the reels and will only ever appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. They expand to cover the entire reel and will trigger up to a maximum of 3 re-spins.

The player controls and general gameplay is very smooth and there are plenty of on-screen options and settings to fiddle about with. For example, the coin value ranges from 0.01, up to a maximum of 1.00.

If players are betting the maximum number of lines, they can start betting from 1.00 coin right up to a maximum of 100.00 coins per spin. This slot represents the line bet as levels 1-10, which is the green button to the left of the Autoplay feature. Players can spin up to 1000 spins when using this autoplay feature.

Other adjustable options can be found in the bottom left hand corner, which is a feature available on all NetEnt slots. Choose from Quick Spin, Intro Screen (On/Off) and Animations (On/Off). The sound settings and graphics quality can also be altered.

This game is lacking in the bonus rounds department and most players would possibly get bored within five minutes of playing on this, but it’s not an annoying slot and still has a huge jackpot prize of 50,000 coins up for grabs.

If you find a NetEnt powered online casino, this game should be available and is well worth a few spins, but for players who prefer bonus rounds and multiple special features, perhaps this isn’t the slot for you.
