How it plays
Starburst is about as simple as slots get, which is a big part of why it's lasted so long. There are ten paylines, and they pay from left to right and from right to left, so wins come round often.
The star of the show is the Starburst wild. It can land on the middle three reels, expands to cover the whole reel, and holds in place while you get a free re-spin. Land another wild on the re-spin and you get another, up to three in a row.
There's no free spins round or bonus game. Low volatility means smaller, more frequent wins rather than rare big ones, which makes it a sensible game for a small balance or for using free spins.
