NetEnt’s Iconic Starburst™ Marks 10-year Anniversary

NetEnt is celebrating a decade from releasing its iconic Starburst slot!

Starburst™ Wilds, with their brilliant gems, electrifying sounds, and arcade-like effects, continue to send players soaring into the heavens ten years after the game's initial release.

The Slot on Everyone’s Lips

Starburst™ is a timeless classic that has become a cultural icon. A whopping 18 billion spins have been made in the last two and a half years. With jackpots reaching astronomical heights, stunning visuals, and exhilarating animation, this game is destined to endure for aeons.

A new sequel, Starburst™ XXXtreme, was released for the game in 2012. Starburst™ XXXtreme has been available to players since July of last year. It features all of the classic elements from the original game and some cutting-edge additions, such as increased volatility, to create a space odyssey with a jaw-dropping gaming experience and spectacular win potential. 

In addition, XXXtreme Spins, which can be purchased by customers and used to activate Starburst™ Wilds at any time, was introduced.

Party Up!

NetEnt threw a big party to honour Starburst'sTM success. A 3D-mapped birthday cake that shoots fireworks and a troupe of astronaut performers setting the mood, along with live music and photo booths decorated with Starburst™ candies. 

Game developers and operators celebrated ten years of slots at the party and toasted to the next ten.

Chief Product Officer at Evolution, Todd Haushalter, thought the event was a fantastic way to honour Starburst'sTM tenth anniversary. 

A decade-long run for a single slot game is an incredible achievement, and it’s been a top favourite with players ever since it was first launched. From the looks of things, that’s going to keep going, and going, and going. Starburst™ is the full package – an exciting, classic game that entertains you right from the start. I can’t wait to see what the next decade brings.
