Starburst Slot: Features and Rules in Ireland

A Wild that changes the reel

Starburst’s special symbol is also the reason its spins can continue after the first stop.

The five-reel, three-row game offers up to ten paylines. When a Starburst Wild lands on the relevant reels, it expands to cover that reel and triggers a Respin. A second Starburst Wild can expand and add another Respin, keeping the sequence tied to the feature symbols on screen.

The rule is straightforward to watch: the Wild expands first, then the reels respin. The official NetEnt page describes this feature and the grid; the Irish game panel provides the current paytable and settings.

The ten-line format gives each spin a clear path across five reels. The paytable names the symbols that pay and the eligible reels where an expanding Starburst Wild can appear.

How the Respin feature continues

An expanding Wild triggers each Respin.

An expanding Wild fills a reel and awards a Respin. If another qualifying Wild lands during the sequence, it may expand and add another Respin; the provider describes this repeat rule.

This feature makes the bonus state visible on the reels. The help panel remains the source for line activation and the active Irish-version rules.

During the Respin sequence, an expanded Wild stays on its reel while the remaining reels spin again. The help panel shows which reels qualify for another Wild.

One possible Respin sequence

A short illustration shows what the additional spin means in practice.

A Starburst Wild lands and expands to fill its reel. The game awards a Respin. If another Starburst Wild appears on an eligible reel, it expands and another Respin follows; if not, the sequence ends and the game evaluates the visible result under its paytable.

A Wild expands across its reel and awards a Respin. A second qualifying Wild can expand and award another Respin.

The expanded reel remains visible during the additional spin. Check the symbols on the other reels, then follow the paytable to see how the completed layout is evaluated.

Reading a ten-line slot

Starburst’s line count and its Respin feature are separate parts of the rules.
