Game play Starburst Galaxy slot

The five-reel, five-row gaming grid gives a new twist to the iconic NetEnt game in this skyscraping sequel, Galaxy Starburst. A win is awarded when three or more identical symbols appear in a horizontal or vertical line, without gaps, anywhere on the reels. 

Each win triggers an Avalanche™, where the winning symbols disappear, and new ones fall on the reels to fill the empty spaces. Collect winning combinations to fuel the Feature Generator and unlock special features like Random Wilds, Expanding Wilds, Destroy, Line Transform, and Upgrade. 

Unlock the Galaxy Star to expand the game to a 7×7 grid, where Wilds rain down like shooting stars. The new Elevate Feature offers five powerful options to enhance your gameplay: Bonus Boost, Mega Star, Boosted Mega Star, Galaxy Star, and Galaxy Star Bonanza.

Supercharge your adventure with NetEnt’s Starburst Galaxy and go beyond the stars!

Avalanche™

Each win triggers an Avalanche™, NetEnt’s signature mechanic, in which winning symbols disappear and new ones drop down to fill the gaps.

Wilds

When a winning combination that does not include a wild disappears from the reels, a wild symbol is placed in the centre of that combination.

If an even number of symbols appear in the combination, the Wild symbol is placed in the centre position to the left for horizontal wins and in the centre position above for vertical wins.

If two winning combinations intersect, each will get a wild symbol. However, if they intersect at their centres, only one wild symbol will be placed at that intersection.

Wild symbols can replace all symbols except the scatter symbol and can create winning combinations with other symbols.

If three, four, or five wild symbols appear in a row (or three, four, five, six, or seven wilds in the expanded seven-reel and seven-row area) and cannot combine with other symbols, the wild symbols will pay the highest winning combination according to the Paytable.

Feature Generator

In the main game, each winning combination helps fill the Feature generator. After five consecutive wins, one of the following five features is randomly awarded:

  • Destroy: Removes one or more random symbol types from the reels.
  • Random Wilds: Replaces three to nine symbols on the reels with wilds.
  • Expanding Wilds: Turns all wild symbols into stacked wilds.
  • Line Transform: Fills a row or reel with the same payout symbol.
  • Upgrade: Changes one or more symbols to a higher-paying symbol.

When no more wins occur, the awarded features activate one by one until a new win occurs.

Galaxy Star Feature and Galaxy Meter

The Galaxy Star feature is triggered when the fifth feature in the Feature Generator is awarded. The play area expands to seven reels and seven rows, and a 3×3 Wild symbol is randomly placed on the reels.

After the wins are calculated, all winning symbols disappear, and four to eight regular wild symbols appear on the reels. When there are no more wins, any remaining features in the Feature Generator are activated.

The Galaxy meter activates when the 3×3 wild appears. Each winning combination fills the Galaxy Meter. When it reaches 50, the Galaxy Star feature is awarded and activated when no more wins occur. Once 50 wins are reached, the meter resets and starts again. Both the Feature Generator and Galaxy Meter reset to 0 with each new spin.

Mega Star Feature and Multiplier Collect Meter

The Mega Star makes the gameplay exciting instead of Free Spins.  It is triggered when three scatter symbols appear on the reels during the same spin. After the Avalanche™, if there are no wins, a 2×2 wild symbol is randomly placed on the reels in positions without wilds.

All winning symbols disappear once the wins are calculated, and two to five regular wild symbols are randomly placed on the reels during the next Avalanche™. The Mega Star feature activates before any remaining features in the Feature Generator.

When the Mega Star feature activates, one or more scatter symbols may have multipliers (2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x). These multipliers are added to the Multiplier Collect Meter, which applies to all winning combinations until the end of the game round.

Elevate Feature

The Elevate Feature lets you activate one of the following features per game round:

  • Bonus Boost: Increases the chance of triggering the Galaxy Star feature for 3x the bet.
  • Mega Star: Activates the Mega Star feature for 10x the bet, guaranteeing one free spin with three scatters.
  • Boosted Mega Star: Activates the Mega Star feature and the Multiplier Collect Meter for 50x the bet, guaranteeing one free spin with three scatters, where at least two scatters will have multipliers.
  • Galaxy Star: Guarantees the Galaxy Star feature for 100x the bet.
  • Galaxy Star Bonanza: Activates the Galaxy Star feature with five awarded features and a random multiplier between 2x and 75x for 500x the bet.

Theme and Symbols

The gaming grid hovers in the dark, deep space with a red planet in the background, a glowing pinkish atmosphere, and several bright stars set against a dark purple sky.

The paying symbols of gradually-increasing values are represented by the well-known Starburst symbols:

  • BAR Symbol: A standard gold-colored “BAR” icon with a metallic sheen.
  • 7 Symbol: A red lucky number seven symbol, hovering at the forefront of a blue terrestrial planet.
  • Yellow Diamond: A shining, faceted yellow diamond.
  • Green Hexagonal Gem: A glowing green gem with a hexagonal shape.
  • Red Hexagonal Crystal: A red crystal in a hexagonal shape, emitting light.
  • Blue Rectangular Gem: A bright blue rectangular gem with a polished look.
  • Purple Rhomboid Gem: A purple gem with a rhombus-like shape and a soft glow.

The Feature Generator showcases five possible symbols of the five features.

  • Purple Icon: Contains the text “BONUS BOOST” in capital letters, with a shimmering glow.
  • Blue Icon: Depicts a set of three interconnected orbs that are glowing and slightly transparent, resembling bubbles or planetary bodies.
  • Red Icon with “X” Symbols: Shows three glowing orbs, two smaller ones and one larger orb. Each orb contains a yellow “X” symbol.
  • Green Icon with the Starburst Gem: This icon features a similar star-shaped gem, with different colours for each arm and a central white core.
  • Orange Icon with the Starburst Gem: Displays a bright multi-coloured star-shaped gem with a central white core, and a small yellow  X” attached to the top-right side.

Glowing orbs with multipliers may fill the progress meter for a potentially boosted payout.
