How Starburst works
Starburst is a 5-reel slot with 10 paylines, built around bright gems and a clean, fast layout. There are no complicated menus or side games. You set a stake, spin, and see what lands.
Unlike many slots, the Starburst slot pays both ways. A winning combination can form from the left or from the right, which roughly doubles the chances of a line connecting compared with a left-to-right-only game.
Reading the paylines
All 10 lines are always active, so you only adjust coin value and bet level. Matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from either outer reel, make a win. Lines are checked automatically.
Why it suits newer players
The rules fit on one screen and the pace is quick. That makes it a simple way to learn how paylines, wilds and re-spins behave before you move on to more feature-heavy slots.
Provider: NetEnt. Released: 2012. Type: slot. RTP: 96.09%. Volatility: low. Max win: 500x stake.
Features and bonus rounds
The feature set is short and focused. There is no free-spins round and no bonus game to unlock. Everything revolves around the expanding wild and the re-spins it sets off.
- Expanding wilds: a wild landing on a reel stretches to fill the whole reel and can complete lines in either direction.
- Re-spins: when a wild expands, you get a re-spin with that wild held in place, which gives the line another chance to pay.
- Win both ways: lines pay from left to right and from right to left.
- 10 paylines: fixed, so your total stake is simple to track.
Because the wild only appears on the middle reels, it is the key moment of any session. Several wilds in a row can chain re-spins, and that is where the better returns come from.
If you like the idea of bonus rounds with free spins and multipliers, other titles on the games page of this guide cover those mechanics.

RTP, volatility and max win
Starburst has a listed RTP of 96.09%. RTP is the theoretical share of stakes a slot returns over a very large number of spins, so it describes the long run, not a single evening. Your own session can finish well above or below it.

What low volatility means in practice
Low volatility means smaller wins arrive more regularly, so your balance tends to move gently rather than swing. It stretches a budget further, though it will rarely produce a huge hit.
A 500x ceiling
The top win is 500 times your stake. That is modest next to high-volatility slots with five-figure multipliers, so treat Starburst as steady entertainment and not a jackpot chase.
Playing Starburst at FatBet
The casino accepts GBP, and deposits start at £5, which suits a low-stakes slot like this. Card, Skrill, Neteller and Bitcoin are among the deposit options. The site has no dedicated app, but it is mobile responsive, so the game can be opened in a phone browser; see the app page for details.
NetEnt is not named in the provider lineup we have for the site, so do not assume the slot is there. Use the lobby search for the title first, and contact live chat, which runs 24/7, if you cannot find it.
- 1Log in or register, then deposit in GBP (£5 minimum, £15 if you want the welcome offer).
- 2Open the slots lobby and search for Starburst.
- 3If it appears, open it and set your coin value and bet level.
- 4Spin, and keep an eye on your session budget.
If you plan to use a welcome offer, read its terms first. The welcome bonus carries wagering in the 20x-60x range and expires after 30 days, and how a slot counts towards it can differ. The bonus page lays out the offers.
Tips for the first session
Decide a budget before the first spin and stick to it. Low volatility can feel forgiving, but the house edge still applies on every spin, and small wins can disguise a slowly shrinking balance.
- Start with the smallest stake for 20 to 30 spins to see how the game behaves.
- Use the deposit limit tool if you want a hard cap on spending.
- Do not raise your stake to chase losses.
- Take a break after a set time; a cool-down of up to 6 weeks is available if you need longer.
- Treat a bonus as extra play, not guaranteed profit.
Gambling should stay entertainment. If it stops being fun, self-exclusion and account closure are available, and UK players can also reach independent support services.
