Game Overview
I’ve always enjoyed films like Star Wars and still wonder if there is a galaxy far far away where people travel from planet to planet at light speed? The best glimpse of other galaxies we have right now is through the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes, while the rest is left to our imagination. The NetEnt software provider has created its own Starburst Galaxy that takes you on an intergalactic journey to a 5×5 reel slot that uses win matches and an enticing 25,000x max win with a 96% RTP to lure players in.
Landing symbol combination wins couldn’t be more straightforward as symbols connect anywhere on the reels to pay while cascading reels with guaranteed wilds help you land more wins from a single spin. Starburst Galaxy also brings expanding reels, a Feature Generator that creates reel modifiers, a Galaxy Star Feature and Meter, a Mega Star and Multiplier Collect Meter, and an Elevate Feature.
Set off on a journey to NetEnt’s red planet set in the backdrop of Starburst Galaxy and let gravity do the rest, by spinning your way to big wins on the Starburst Galaxy demo slot.
Gameplay & Features
In the base games, Win Matches use adjacent positions on the reels to cluster symbols together into chunks of 3 to 7 symbols, giving you the chance to net anything from 0.4x to 400x your spin bet. The base game also uses Avalanches (Cascading reels) that always produce a wild symbol, which substitutes for any of the regular symbols.
Galaxy Star
In the base game, every winning combination advances the Feature Generator, and every 5 consecutive wins activates a random feature, such as removing symbols, adding Wilds, expanding Wilds into stacks, filling a row with the same symbol, or upgrading symbols to higher values. If no wins occur, the collected features activate one by one until a win happens.
Galaxy Star & Meter
This feature triggers on the fifth feature in the Feature Generator, expanding the play area to 7×7 and adding a 3×3 Wild symbol randomly on the reels. After all wins have been calculated, the wild symbols disappear, and 4 to 8 new wilds will appear. If there are no wins, any remaining features are activated one by one.
Mega Star & Multiplier Collector
The Mega Star feature activates when 3 Scatters land, adding a 2×2 Wild after an Avalanche, and if this fails to give you a win, 2 to 5 Wilds will appear randomly in the next Avalanche. Also, when active, scatters can have multipliers of x2, x3, x5, x10, or x25 collected in the Multiplier Collect Meter. The slot applies these to all combination wins until the feature ends.
Elevate Feature
The Elevate Feature allows players to activate in-game features for an additional cost:
- Bonus Boost: For 3x your bet, you can Increase your chances of triggering the Galaxy Star feature.
- Mega Star: For 10x your bet, you can trigger the Mega Star feature guaranteeing one spin with 3 Scatters.
- Boosted Mega Star: For 50x your bet, you can trigger the Mega Star feature, but for the extra cost you get the Multiplier Collect Meter, guaranteeing 3 Scatters and at least 2 Scatter multipliers.
- Galaxy Star: For 100x your bet you can trigger the Galaxy Star feature.
- Galaxy Star Bonanza: If you have an appetite for risk, then for 500x your bet, you can trigger the Galaxy Star with 5 features in the Feature Generator and a random multiplier worth anything from 2x to 75x.
Pros
- The large number of reel modifiers means Starburst Galaxy gives you almost non-stop action.
- Only 28 out of 35 possible symbol combinations pay a multiplier higher than 1x.
Cons
- No free spins bonus game, but to be fair, features and cascading reels more than make up for this.
- The diverse array of reel modifiers and collection metres make Starburst Galaxy a complex slot to understand for newbie slot players.
Starburst Galaxy Slot Review Final Thoughts
Obviously, it is the features and reel modifiers that stand out on Starburst Galaxy, but I also couldn’t help but notice that out of the 7 symbols, which produce 5 possible combinations each, 28 of them will return an amount higher than your spin bet. The only downside is I usually prefer slots with a free spins bonus game, but Starburst Galaxy has everything you need to make up for this, including cascading reels, giant wilds, multipliers, and reels that expand to 7x7.
