Since its release in 2012, Starburst by NetEnt has remained one of the most played pokies in New Zealand. Why? Because it's pure, unadulterated fun. At SpinBit, we provide the 96.09% RTP version, making it the perfect "safe harbor" for players looking to preserve their NZD bankroll.

For Kiwi players, Starburst is often the "go-to" game for clearing bonuses because of its low volatility. This means you get frequent, steady wins that help you meet wagering requirements without the heart-stopping swings of high-variance titles. Plus, with our secure processing through Baytree Interactive, you can top up and spin with total peace of mind.

NZ Bonus Tip: Starburst is often excluded from free spin offers at rogue casinos or has its RTP lowered. At SpinBit, we keep it fair. Use this game to chip away at your [bonus wagering](/bonus) with maximum efficiency.

Our Tips for Playing

Winning at Starburst is different from other slots. You aren't chasing a scatter bonus; you are chasing the Starburst Wilds. Here is how to maximize your experience:

💡 Pro Tip: Because Starburst pays both ways, a five-of-a-kind win is incredibly rare but lucrative. However, the real value comes from landing Wilds on the middle three reels. Focus your attention there!

1. The Win Both Ways Mechanic

This is a game-changer. In most slots, you only win if symbols match from the leftmost reel to the right. In Starburst, you win if they match from left-to-right AND right-to-left. This effectively turns the 10 paylines into 20, doubling your chances of hitting a winning combo on every spin.

2. Starburst Wilds & Re-spins

The multi-coloured star symbol is the Wild. It only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. When it lands:

It expands to cover the entire reel.
It pays out any winning combinations.
It locks in place and triggers a free re-spin.

If another Wild lands during the re-spin, it also expands and locks, giving you another re-spin. You can get up to 3 expanded Wild reels simultaneously, which usually results in a "Big Win" or "Super Mega Win" screen!

3. Symbol Values

The highest paying symbol is the traditional BAR symbol, followed by the 7. The sparkling gems (Yellow, Green, Orange, Blue, Purple) make up the lower-paying symbols, but with the "Win Both Ways" feature, even these can add up nicely.
