Should you Try Starburst?

Starburst is one of the most well known slots at online casinos in Ireland, landing as the 11th most popular slot at PlayOJO this year.  It’s a game that’s so highly thought of that hundreds of developers have copied it over the years. As is often the case, the original is best, and Starburst lives up to this rule. You might see games with bigger payouts, but nothing will ever capture the Starburst lightning in a bottle from its initial release.

It uses an innovative payline system, which is still rare to this day. 10 lines go across the reels, but they pay both ways. You’ll get a shock or two when you see wins landing from right to left, but you won’t be complaining about them. This innovative mechanic has lead to OJOers rating Starburst 4 out of 5 stars.

It’s a low volatility experience, which is appealing if you want lots of regular excitement. Although there’s almost 150 low volatility games at PlayOJO, Starburst is the shining light of the genre. Yeah, Starburst might not take you up in a spaceship, but you get the chance to burst the stars, and where else can you do that?

Starburst Features

Starburst is simpler than most online slots in Ireland. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of modern games. That doesn’t mean you get nothing, though. You’re getting a bonus feature, and it’s one that’s been aped hundreds of times but never bettered. While it’s more simple than many of the 106 other NetEnt games we offer, that simplicity helps make it engaging.

Wild Respins

The wild symbol can only land on the middle 3 reels in Starburst. Sure, it seems limiting, but it gets better; trust us. Whenever a wild lands, it evaluates any payouts, and then expands to fill the reel. You get a respin with this expanded wild, which increases your chances of creating payouts.

If you land another wild on one of the remaining reels, it also expands. Then you get another respin with 2 wild reels. You guessed it, if the final reel gets a wild, it expands again and gives you a final respin. You can get a maximum of 3 respins, and with all 3 middle reels wild, it guarantees a win. The top win at PlayOJO this year is €10,989, and you know the respins had a hand in it!

Crystal Sun

As soon as you load up Crystal Sun, you’ll see similarities to Starburst. It’s taken the classic formula and given it some rocket fuel. The wilds still light up the middle reels and give you extra respins. This time, though, they’re turbo-charged and add multipliers. You can get a max win of up to 5,000x your stake, and with up to 9x multiplier wilds, it’s all about those respins.

Starburst Galaxy

Crystal Sun might have been Starburst with rocket fuel, but Starburst Galaxy gives it a nuclear reactor with quantum processing. Paylines go up and down and side to side, the reels cascade, and it has a top payout of over 20,000x your stake. The 360 degree gameplay isn’t quite like online roulette, but it still creates excitement on every spin. It’s a supernova of an experience that expands on the original and then some.

Starburst Slingo

A fun combination of slots and bingo in the Starburst universe. It includes the trademark wilds, allowing you to fill any spot you want, and it adds the wonder of the universe to an already exciting concept.

Our Verdict

Starburst is where it all began for many slot players. It won’t blow you away with thousands of features, but it is a charming game. The payline system is still one of the best ever, the respins create tension and excitement, what more could you want from a slot? Take a seat and try a slice of slot history, that’s what Starburst brings to the table.

If you’re looking to try new releases, or even if you wanna see what other classics have to offer, the PlayOJO slot roster covers over 5,000 titles. It’s not quite as many as the number of stars in Starburst, but it’s pretty close.
