NetEnt's Newest Slot: Starburst XXXTreme

Over the years, Starbust has been the go-to game for many gamers. And if there's any slot that deserves the label "ICONIC," - they deserve it. Although the XXXTREME made waves in 2013 when it was first released, gamers have moved towards games with more volatility and rewards over time. And in an attempt to bring back gamers who have hopped on other slots, NetEnt revived the Starburst XXXTREME.

The good thing is they kept a few things for old-time sake and transformed the whole set with an entirely different set; it's 100%!

The Starbust visuals are crystal clear, and when you play, you'll observe the game display is pristinely clean. You can easily differentiate it from other slots. The slot inspired by the cosmos has 5 reels, a 3-row game grid, and 9 fixed paylines.

For players looking for a major difference between 2013 and 2024, well, the game developers dropped a payline, and this is the least of the changes you'll find in the slot. The Audios of Starburst XXXtreme 2024 is ten times better than in 2013. If you want to enjoy the slot, try playing with your AirPods on- and you would have a magical experience.

As said earlier, the game developers removed a bet line and limited the others to pay in one direction only. They compensated for this by adding the multiplayer feature. Good news, right? Now friends can have group competitions for the fun of it.

At first, when you launch the game, you are provided with two XXXtreme spins options for you to place your bet. One guarantees players one Starburst Wild on spinning, and this would inflate the stake by ten times your initial bet. The other guarantees players two Starburst Wilds on spinning, and these powers up the cost to 95 times your bet.

Like in 2013, the gameplay centers on the Starburst Wilds, which appeared on reels 2, 3, or 4- it's the same here. When the wilds drop, they scatter to flood all the positions on their reel and this offers players a respin. In the XXXtreme, wilds are boxed up for a respin, and when a wild hits, it is also boxed up and awards a respin again.  

The game developers also introduced something new to the Starburst Wild reward system, and this is a multiplier. It multiplies rewards in turns of 2, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 150. When two or more wild drops, the multiplier effect is automatically added in a respin sequence, and the total value is added to the bet line wins from the spin or consecutive respin.  

Amazingly, 2024 Starburst XXXtreme also has a "Random wild feature"- this feature adds 1-3 Starburst Wild symbols to reel in the middle, and it can be randomly activated after you spin or when you respin.

Starburst XXXtreme is now available for play at all casinos with NetEnt content.
