Provider page and demo
This preview does not embed or autoplay gameplay. Open the provider page for its published rules and any play option it currently offers. The page does not confirm that an unnamed casino carries this game or which version it uses.
A compact layout with a single headline feature
The provider lists five reels, three rows and a maximum of 10 paylines. Its most distinctive feature is not a free-spin round: the Starburst Wild can expand to cover a reel and trigger a respin. The rules panel remains the place to confirm the exact version and active settings.
A simple feature sequence
A Starburst Wild arrives on a reel and expands. The game then respins under the feature rules. This example describes the order of events only; it assigns no value to the next symbol and says nothing about whether the respin will form a winning line.
Read RTP as a model, not a session promise
NetEnt's page lists 96.08% RTP and an 800× maximum payout. RTP summarizes a theoretical return over a very large number of plays, while the cap is an upper bound in the game rules. Neither number tells a player what will happen in a short session. The provider page does not publish a volatility label in the facts checked here, so this page does not add one.
