How the game works
The original title uses fixed paylines with wins evaluated in both directions. Its star symbol acts as a wild and expands to cover a reel. This is a line-based game, so counting all matching gems anywhere on the screen would misread the result.
The feature to understand
An expanding Starburst wild triggers a respin. The feature is centred on the reel wild and subsequent spin, rather than a long menu of different bonus modes. Check the information screen for which reel positions can contain the special symbol.
What to look for on mobile
This is a useful reference for reading a simpler reel layout. Trace the highlighted payline and identify the held wild before judging whether the next animation is a new spin or a respin.
A useful comparison
Compare with Twin Spin for another visually familiar reel format with a different central mechanic. Twin Spin links reels; Starburst’s star expands and triggers respins.

RTP, configuration & availability
Version dependent. A theoretical return belongs to a particular configuration. A provider page describes the title; the applicable game rules establish its settings and limits. A matching logo alone does not verify the version.
