Starblast

About The Slot Machine

A sought-after and skilled game provider that has recently chosen to venture into this is New Zealand Play'n Go They have since been working on a new slot called Starblast, which probably may sound a bit familiar to some online players. Namely, they should base a video slot on the older slot machine Starburst which was launched by NetEnt another provider of casino games that may also be the most famous in all cases among New Zealand players.

However, there should be a couple of things that distinguish these game titles, in addition to the fact that they come from two different game manufacturers. Play'n go will bet on slightly more chances to activate bonus features than can be found in Starburst.

Bets & Winnings

Just like in Starburst, there are 5 reels spinning, 3 rows and 10 paylines. However, you can choose to bet slightly larger in Starblast from Play'n go. Here goes coin value from 0.01 up to 10.0 unlike Starburst where you can mostly play with a coin value of 1.0.

We look forward to seeing if you can also stop the reels in the middle of a spin as you can in the Starburst Slot Machine. This we know is something that many players appreciate, so it would be something that we at least think would make the slot quite equivalent to Starburst because the increased coin value in that way becomes a bit indifferent.

Symbols

It is a mix of quite classic symbols and what is to be seen in Starburst from Netent. These are divided into strong and weaker symbols and consist, among other things, of different gemstones in cheerful colors. The game's weak symbols all consist of stones in the colors yellow, green, red, blue and purple. They also go from strongest to weakest in the same order with the yellow gem generating a win of 400 coins, and the Purple One giving 200 coins at the same kind of winning combination on the reels.

The bar symbol featured in Starblast, in comparison, gives a whopping 1,600 coins, and the 7, which is the game's second strongest symbol, generates a winning combination of 800 coins.

In addition to the usual symbols that are always available in start and low scale, there is the whole 3 different Wild symbols that act in Starblast These look the same and are recognizable as a diamond star with a fiery center. These can also be marked with x2 or x3.

These can land anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 but always expand so that they covers the entire wheel before generating a re-spin Here, up to 3 re-spins can be activated when you Cover 3 reels with Wild symbols.

But it doesn't end there, but there are multipliers in the game when these Wilds appear. Up to 9x multipliers can be combined

Functions

It is when it comes to the game's features that Starblast begins to differ more properly from the Starburst Slot, which only offers free spins Play'n Go has added more features than Re-spin, which is a variant of Free Spins. There is also the chance to activate multipliers that can give a win of 4,000 x your own bet

Re-Spin

Alternatives to the popular feature that provides a number of free spins, i.e. spins that are generated without being deducted from your game balance. A Re-spin works more or less the same way, although only 1 free spin is generated. To activate this, you can use the Wild symbols that we describe a little further down in this review.

Summary

We believe that the great charm of Starburst from Netent has long been its simplicity and that it has no flashy bonus features apart from free spins. The volatility of the slot machine from Netent is very low in comparison with the New Starblast. Therefore, we are doubtful whether Starblast from Play'n go will be close to equal poppis. But it is difficult to compare with Netent as a game developer, and starblast will also impress more players who appreciate bonus features such as multipliers and Wilds that also contribute to increased chances of winning.
