Game at a glance
Starburst is a NetEnt slot with a five-reel, three-row layout. Its recognizable symbols are colorful gems and a distinctive Starburst wild. The publisher identifies expanding wilds and respins as key mechanics.
NetEnt’s product page lists a 23 January 2012 release, 10 paylines, and a 96.08% RTP for the configuration it describes. Such figures are publisher-listed values, not a guarantee that every operator uses an identical configuration.
Expanding wilds
A Starburst symbol can expand to cover an entire reel and serve as a substitute for paying symbols under the game rules. The expansion also triggers a respin. The wild and the resulting respin are not the same as a conventional bonus round with a set number of free spins.
Why RTP does not predict a session
Even when an official value such as 96.08% is documented, it is an average of theoretical outcomes over a very large number of rounds. A player can see dramatically different short-term results. Never use an RTP figure to estimate what a particular session must return.
