LiveScore Bet Starburst

The easiest place to try Starburst for free is NetEnt's official game page, which runs the demo with play coins. You don't need an account and nothing is saved. The demo uses the same maths as the paid version, so twenty minutes there tells you more about how the game feels than any review.

On LiveScore Bet the casino is built for real-money play. Some lobbies show a "Demo" button on game tiles when you are logged out; if you don't see one, use the studio's demo instead of depositing just to look.

Starburst is about as simple as a modern slot gets. You get five reels, three rows and ten fixed paylines. The one twist is that lines pay both ways — from left to right and from right to left — so a winning set of three matching symbols can start on reel 1 or on reel 5. That is why the game pays so often for its size.

The symbols are five coloured gems, a lucky seven and a gold BAR. The BAR pays the most, the sevens come next, and the gems fill the rest. You pick a total bet and the game spreads it across all ten lines; you cannot switch lines off. NetEnt's own bet range runs from €0.10 to €100 per spin, and each casino converts that into its local currency, so check the minimum stake in naira on the LiveScore Bet tile.

A spin takes about two seconds, and the whole game is only a few megabytes once loaded, which makes it one of the friendlier slots on a phone. If you play on mobile data, our guide to playing on low data explains why the first load costs more than the spins after it.

There is exactly one feature: the Starburst Wild. It can land only on reels 2, 3 and 4. When it does, it expands to cover the whole reel, stays in place, and you get a free re-spin. If another wild lands during that re-spin, it expands too and you get another re-spin — up to three in a row, with all three middle reels wild.

Three expanded wilds is the moment people wait for. With reels 2, 3 and 4 fully wild and lines paying both ways, almost any symbol on reel 1 or reel 5 completes several lines at once.

What Starburst does not have is just as important: no free-spins round, no multipliers, no buy feature, no gamble button. If a promotion offers "Starburst free spins", those are spins paid for by the casino on the base game — read the promotion's wagering terms, because winnings from casino free spins usually come with conditions.

NetEnt publishes Starburst at 96.08% RTP with a 23% hit frequency. In practice that means roughly one spin in four returns something, and over a very long run the game pays back about ₦96 of every ₦100 staked. The remaining ₦3.92 is the house edge.

Volatility is generally rated low. Wins are frequent and mostly small — often less than the stake, which is why a "win" can still leave your balance lower. The good side is that your balance moves slowly, so a session lasts; the bad side is that there is no hidden huge payout waiting to rescue a losing run.

Always open the info (i) screen inside the game at LiveScore Bet and read the RTP printed there. Studios can supply casinos with more than one RTP setting, and the figure on the operator's own game screen is the one that applies to your spins.

Starburst shows up in screenshots of the LiveScore Bet casino lobby, in the "Top of the slots" row next to Sweet Bonanza and Big Bass. But LiveScore Bet runs separate sites for the UK, Ireland, Nigeria and the Netherlands, and each market has its own game list. On Sep 21, 2026 we could not confirm Starburst on the Nigerian site, so here is how to check in under a minute:

NetEnt's current figure is a maximum payout of 800 times your bet. Plenty of older reviews still say 500x; go with the studio. At a ₦100 stake the ceiling is ₦80,000, at ₦1,000 it is ₦800,000.

The top result needs expanded wilds on the three middle reels and BAR symbols on both outer reels, so that every line pays in both directions. It happens, but so rarely that you should plan a session around the frequent small wins, not around the ceiling. If a big number is what you want, a high-volatility game is a better fit — the comparison table below shows the gap.
