Starburst

The star wild expands to cover its reel and triggers a respin. The original title uses a space-and-gem theme; verify the exact edition rather than substituting a later Starburst release.

Understanding game terms

Wild: A substitute symbol that helps form winning combinations. Each game defines which symbols it can replace.
Scatter: A special symbol usually counted independently of paylines. The required count and triggered feature depend on the game.
Cascade: Winning symbols disappear and new symbols fill the spaces. One paid round can therefore contain several successive combinations.
Volatility: The spread of outcomes: frequent small returns and rare large returns create different experiences. It does not predict your next round.

Understanding the game rules

First identify what forms a paying combination: a payline, adjacent symbols or a count of matching symbols across the grid. Then read the special-symbol and bonus rules; their settlement can differ from the base game.

Understanding payout multipliers

An illustrative 8× payout on a stake of 2 equals 16. It describes the size of a payout, not the probability of receiving it. Check whether the multiplier applies to the total stake or a line stake.

2 × 8 = 16
