NetEnt has recently expanded its lineup of games with a sequel to the mega-popular Starburst slot.
If we were asked to single one slot machine out for being the most popular in the online gambling history long almost three decades, it would definitely be Starburst by NetEnt. The game has gained cult status thanks to its simple yet engaging mechanics that keep players glued to the screens of their desktop and mobile devices.
Now, the renowned Swedish provider takes the legendary slot to the next level by adding new features that can help you win massive payouts. Let’s take a closer look at the latest addition to the NetEnt portfolio and bonus features you can make use of to win big!
High Volatility and Higher Payouts
Although Starburst XXXtreme differs slightly from the original title in terms of visuals, we won’t focus on its appearance because there are other things we need to discuss. First of all, you should know that the sequel to the iconic slot does not pay both ways. Still, you should not give up on it as there is much more to it.
The mechanics of the game remains the same when it comes to expanding Wilds appearing on the three central reels. However, they won’t award only respins but random multipliers as well. Whenever Starburst Wild appears on the reels, it will award a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x or 150x.
If you land more than one Wild and get more than one respin, the payout from this round will be subject to the sum of awarded multipliers. So, theoretically, you can benefit from up to 450x multiplier, which can lead to the maximum payout of 200,000x the stake in a single spin.
After any spin or respin, the Random Wild feature can come into play, awarding up to 3 Starburst Wilds along with a random multiplier of between 2x and 150x.
Finally, there is the XXXtreme Spins feature that allows you to play the game with Starburst Wilds granted. It comes at an additional price, so if you pay 10x the stake, you will be granted 1 Starburst Wild on each spin. At a price of 95x the stake, you will benefit from 2 Starburst Wilds per spin. XXXtreme Spins will be active until you deactivate them.
Starburst XXXtreme is a high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.29% in the base game. However, if you activate the XXXtreme Spins feature, its RTP increases to 96.45%.
Created to Appeal to Current and Next Generation of Players
Commenting on the launch of the sequel to their most popular title, Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution, said that Starburst XXXtreme brought a great legacy.
“We’ve been working hard to keep those classic features that make the game so popular, and the team have done a great job at incorporating them into an XXXtreme version that will appeal to current, as well as the next generation, of players,” said Haushalter adding that it was a big responsibility working on an already well-loved game.
