Starburst Galaxy Symbols & Payouts
In keeping with the intergalactic theme, the game takes place far up in the galaxy. The game grid appears amongst the stars and is laden with seven different regular-paying reel symbols plus two bonus symbols.
The regular pay symbols are low-paying gemstones, and the top-paying are sevens and bar symbols—an acknowledgement of traditional slot machines.
The wild symbol is the same colourful star as in the original, and the scatter symbol is a shimmering planet.
To score payouts, you must match three or more identical symbols in horizontal or vertical clusters as per the table below:
Symbol | Match 3 | Match 4 | Match 5 | Match 6 | Match 7 |
Purple | 0.25 | 0.50 | 2.00 | 4.00 | 10.00 |
Blue | 0.25 | 0.50 | 2.00 | 4.00 | 10.00 |
Red | 0.50 | 1.00 | 2.50 | 5.00 | 20.00 |
Green | 0.50 | 1.50 | 5.00 | 10.00 | 30.00 |
Yellow | 0.75 | 2.25 | 10.00 | 20.00 | 40.00 |
Seven | 0.75 | 3.00 | 15.00 | 30.00 | 50.00 |
Bar | 1.00 | 4.00 | 20.00 | 100.00 | 250.00 |
Starburst Galaxy Bonus Features
Starburst Galaxy is bursting with special features:
Wild Symbols
Wild symbols appear when winning combinations are created without a wild. The tumbling reels mechanism sees winning symbols explode from the reels, what’s left is a freshly created wild before more symbols cascade from above. If two winning combinations intersect, a wild will be created for each winning combination.
Wild symbols substitute for all regular pay symbols except for scatters to help you create winning combinations and score prizes.
Feature Generator
In the base game, each winning combination will contribute to the feature generator. Every five wins in a row will randomly generate one of the features:
- Destroy – removes one or more random types of symbols.
- Random Wilds – replaces from 3 to 9 regular pay symbols with wild symbols.
- Expanding Wilds – Turns all the wild symbols on the reels into three wild symbols stacked vertically.
- Line Transform – Fills a row or a reel with a randomly chosen regular pay symbol.
- Upgrade – Upgrades one or more random regular pay symbols to a symbol with a higher value.
- When there are no wins on the reels, the features will start activating one by one until there is a new win.
Galaxy Star Feature & Galaxy Meter
The Galaxy Star feature is activated when the fifth feature in the Feature Generator is awarded. The game grid expands to 7x7, and a 3x3 wild symbol randomly appears on the grid.
After wins are awarded, winning symbols explode, and between 4 and 8 regular wild symbols appear on the reels. When no further wins remain, all awarded features from the Feature Generator will be activated.
The Galaxy Meter is activated when the 3x3 wild appears. Each winning combination adds to the Galaxy Meter until it reaches 50, at which point the Galaxy Star feature is awarded.
Mega Star Feature & Multiplier Collect Meter
The Mega Star Feature is triggered by landing three or more of the iridescent planet scatter symbols. After the win tumble, the feature is activated when no more winning combinations are left on the grid, and a 2x2 wild symbol is randomly placed on the grid.
After payouts are awarded, the winning symbols explode off the screen, and between 2 and 5 random wilds lands. The Mega Star feature is activated before the remainder of the Feature Generator features are.
When the Mega Star feature activates, one or more scatter symbols may have multiplier values between 2x and 25x. These multipliers start the Multiplier Collect Meter, which shows all added multipliers that apply to all winning combos until the end of the round.
