Slot Features
Original Starburst slot made it big mostly thanks to the infamous Wilds dropping from the outer space onto the grid. Wilds are central to the Starburst XXXtreme as well, and so, the game offers two types of Wilds – random and regular ones, on top of the spins round.
Starburst & Random Wilds
Wilds can appear on three middle reels – 2, 3 and 4, and of course, they can sub in for all the symbols in the game to help form a win. Wilds can expand to cover an entire reel, and each time they do, you will be awarded a respin with a random multiplier. Any reel covered with Starburst Wild will get locked during any subsequent spin.
Random Wilds get randomly activated after a respin, and once they do, you can expect between 1 and 3 Wilds to land on one of the middle three reels, along with a multiplier that can be x2, x3, x5, x10, x25, x50, x100, or x150. It can happen that more than one multiplier can land during a spin or a respin.
XXXtreme Spins
The slot will allow you to either wait for the round to get triggered or to buy your way into the round. This round will make a guarantee of Starburst Wilds.
Summary
To all those who though that NetEnt is getting soft, Starburst XXXtreme is the proof that they are not. Modern visuals, and a gameplay that will appeal to a broad range of players, and it’s setting a new benchmark for sure. If you don’t believe our word for, you can test it yourself, but let us just mention that you should exercise some caution, because even though the game has x200000 the bet that you technically can achieve with some luck, however it’s highly volatile.
Starburst XXXtreme is one of the latest slots released by Netent. It was released to online casinos about a month ago. And this is a game I was quite anticipated to try, as I'm still a big fan of Starburst slot and it's one of my go-to games for low-rolling sessions. Also, there was a lot of buzz surrounding this game, as Starburst is one of the best slots out there and the XXXtreme version had added multipliers, therefore making Starburst much more exciting.
The Starburst XXXtreme slot uses all of the same game symbols- gems, sevens and bars. While the most important part are the wild stars, which award with re-spins. The one thing I didn't like about this new game was the fact that it has 9 paylines. And the second one was the fact that the slot now pays from left to right, not both ways.Â
The part that adds the XXXtreme element to this game are the wild multipliers. Now the wild stars can have up to 150x multipliers, which of course significantly increase the winning potential. Also now the game offers guaranteed wild stars- for a cost of 10x your bet, you are guaranteed to get one wild star, while for 99x your bet, you're guaranteed to get 2 wild stars. For me this seems way too expensive, I've done a few spins with 1 guaranteed wild, and for the most part the wins were smaller than my bets. And in regards to the 2 wild stars feature, I believe it's too costly and can easily result in a dead spin, especially since the game no longer pays both ways.
Having said that, I stick with the regular free spins and I've had a few decent hits on it, due to wild multipliers. My best win was around 200x bet for a combination of bars and wild stars.Â
Overall I do like this game, I like the classic yet improved design and the features are unique. However, if you're buying the guaranteed wilds, it's very easy to lose money quickly, simply because the game has higher volatility and pays from left to right. So if I have to chose, I prefer the classic Starburst over the Starburst XXXtreme.
