Starburst
Starburst is one of the most iconic slot titles you'll find at Virgin Games, and it's easy to see why. Developed by NetEnt, this space-themed classic dazzles with jewel-bright symbols, a cosmic soundtrack, and a gameplay loop that's instantly accessible yet endlessly entertaining. Set across 5 reels and 10 paylines that pay both ways, Starburst offers a refreshingly sleek experience that suits both newcomers and seasoned spinners alike.
The star of the show is the Starburst Wild — a glittering expanding wild that stretches to cover an entire reel when it lands on reels 2, 3, or 4. Trigger one and you'll pocket a free re-spin, with the wild locked in place. Land wilds on two or three reels simultaneously and you'll collect up to three re-spins with multiple locked wilds — a moment that feels genuinely electric every single time. Key features to know before you play:
- Pays both ways — wins count left-to-right AND right-to-left across all 10 paylines
- Expanding Starburst Wild — covers the full reel and triggers free re-spins
- Low volatility — frequent smaller wins keep the session feeling lively
- RTP of 96.09% — a solid return rate for casual and regular play
- Bet range — flexible stakes to suit all budgets on the Virgin Games platform
For the best experience, start with smaller stakes to get a feel for the re-spin rhythm before scaling up. Starburst's low volatility means your balance tends to stay active, making it a brilliant choice for longer sessions or when testing a new bonus. Head to Virgin Games, load up Starburst, and let those cosmic reels do the talking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Starburst Wilds work on Virgin Games?
When a Starburst Wild lands on reel 2, 3, or 4, it expands to fill the entire reel and awards a free re-spin. If wilds appear on multiple reels during re-spins, they all stay locked and you receive an additional re-spin — up to a maximum of three re-spins per round.
Is Starburst a high or low volatility slot?
Starburst is a low volatility slot, meaning it tends to pay out smaller wins more frequently rather than rare large jackpots. This makes it ideal if you prefer steady gameplay and want your balance to last across a longer session at Virgin Games.
Can I play Starburst on mobile at Virgin Games?
Absolutely. Starburst is fully optimised for mobile play at Virgin Games. Whether you're on an iOS or Android device, the game runs smoothly in your browser or via the Virgin Games app, with the same crisp visuals and responsive controls as the desktop version.
