Starburst XXXtreme Slot

Starburst XXXtreme was released on the 15th of July 2021 by the world-famous software developer NetEnt. This brand-new slot is the first official sequel to the original Starburst game, one of the most successful slots ever to be released. It’s been seven and a half years since the original first hit online casinos, and now fans have the chance to play their favourite slot with new game modifiers, bigger jackpots, and fresh graphics. If you’re new to the Starburst franchise, you’re in for a treat!

Starburst XXXtreme is played on a 5×3 set of reels with just nine pay lines. It’s a high volatility game with an average RTP of 96%. NetEnt has included game modifiers such as random wilds, multiplier wilds, expanding wilds and XXXtreme spins to spice up the action. The main difference from the original game is the size of the maximum jackpot. It’s gone from a modest 600x your stake to a gigantic 200,000x your stake.

Graphics and Theme

For fans of the original game, you’ll be pleased to hear that NetEnt hasn’t strayed too far from the game’s original design. The game’s logo still sits proudly on top of the reels while the game controls remain located horizontally across the bottom of your screen. Each of the five reels is separated with a floating red strip. You will see the numbers one to nine in small red circles on either side of the reels. These represent the pay lines. When you hover over them, they will highlight the pay lines across the reels so you can see exactly where you need to land the matching symbols. Finally, the backdrop to the reels is set in space. A planet that looks like Saturn floats in the top right-hand corner, while an unknown planet just about appears in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen.

The soundtrack fits the outer space theme as it uses various synth noises and electronic percussion sounds to create a relaxing intergalactic track. It creates a soothing atmosphere that will help you concentrate while settling in for a long slots session. When you hit spin, the reels rotate to a pinging sound and come to a stop one by one with a gentle thumping noise. Winning combinations trigger a classic arcade celebration noise, and the winning pay lines are highlighted.
