As I said, they do not have any reverse pending period at all so withdrawals are usually approved and paid out very quickly.

Sorry for posting in a few weeks old thread but has anyone else noticed that NetEnt's "new" game Starburst is basically a copy of Novomatic's Power Stars...although with a bit more bling-bling.

 

[slotobob]

yes i did but novos powerstars is better imo
the payout is diffrent and novo has the better feature.. if you hit 2 stars there you get 2 reespins and 3 for 3... in starburst if you hit 3 at the same time you get only one respin

Thread resurrect!

I've played a lot of spins through this slot (Starburst) over the last couple of days and really like it, love the aesthetics and the pretty lights and sounds

Had a few decent hits but nothing over about 75x stake.

Has anyone ever had three stars? I've had two quite a few times but never with the bars or full strips of sevens.

Seems pretty low variance overall, nice solid RTP as well.

If NetEnt can produced great slots like Scarface. What were they thinking when they made the Excalibur slot. I was expecting to see something along the lines of the John Boorman directed classic. I couldn't have been more wrong, what I found was some naff colouring book images on the reels and a repetative annoying flute playing in the background.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Hmmm, I've put a few thousand spins through Starburst in FUN PLAY mode, still not seen three stars and still not seen a single win of more than 100x stake.

It does seem to be very low variance in the main, although a full set of BARS stacked on all five reels is 5000x stake, assuming that win is actually on the paytable.

Excalibur

I think Excalibur was created in 2007, and released in 2008. Net Entertainment (and their products) has really changed a lot since then.

Net Entertainment as a company had about 85 employees and 47 consultants in 2008. Today they have 250+ employees and 122+ consultants. The number of gaming transactions has gone from 2,000 mill in 2008, to 8,600 mill transactions in 2011. Net Entertainment has really had a very strong growth in recent years, which of course also have given them the opportunity to create even better games.

I have several times heard people saying “NetEnt has been great ever since Gonzo`s Quest”. And I think many will share this opinion. Gonzo`s Quest was their first platinum game (released in 2010) and later came also Frankenstein, their first Universal brand game.

As for Starburst, this game has become one of NetEnt`s biggest games. I think I have seen 3 stars in the winner section (not sure). Hope you get a big win ChopleyIOM

It's a great game aesthetically but it just feels like death by a thousand cuts, I've probably lumped something in the region of about 3000 spins through it in freeplay mode at 50 cents a spin, and the biggest single win I've seen is about 45 euros, or 90x stake.

(It also is responsible for wiping out my real cash bankroll at Unibet!)

I looked through the winner thread, and Seventh777 posted a win with 3 stars here (111xbet)

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Heh, just got three stars myself in FUN PLAY mode.

Look at those horrible symbols though, I'd be really annoyed if it were real money!

5 bars pay 250xline bet so a full screen of wilds and bars would pay 250xbet, not 5000.

You're absolutely right, no idea where I got 5000x bet from...

250x stake is a very small top prize, and definitely flags this slot up as very low variance.

(NOTE TO SELF - Don't try to work out slots payouts when drunk.)

 

[ChopleyIOM]

For my latest random stupidity I have set myself the target of getting a screen full of bars (or bars+wilds) to hit the maximum theoretical pay of 250x stake.

Obviously I'm doing this with play money.

€1 per spin, stop trigger of 100x stake or 1000 spins played.

Current stats are:

SPINS PLAYED = 4400
MAXIMUM WIN = Under 100x stake, it hasn't hit the 100x stop trigger once yet.

I will keep plugging away at this until I get it.

Also, they should really do a SUPER STARBURST slot, you know when you get the wild star thing with a good win, and then all the symbols except the wild reel spin off again, they should make the wins sticky, so that only the reels that aren't part of the wins spin off, doing the same thing again if another star wild drops in.

That way if you got good 3OAKs on the three left reels with bars or sevens and a wild star reel, you'd get the same win again at least on the respin, and maybe get it improved to 4OAK or 5OAK.

Obviously this would give the slot some much bigger hit potential and increase the variance, but it'd make it a more interesting proposition.

250x stake is a very small top prize

It's easier to hit 250x stake on this slot than hitting say 1000x stake on a high variance slot BUT (and that's where it's important) do you think it's easier to hit 250x on this slot than 250x on the high variance one?

I'm pretty sure that you have about the same chances to hit 250x stake on Real Steel than you have on Starbust.

Starburst definitely won't suck your balance down like the likes of Dead or Alive or Reel Steal will, I've gone 3000 spins on Starburst at €1 per spin and seen my balance decrease by just €30.

I'm a total slots geek, whilst I play with real money regularly enough - (as my YouTube channel will bear witness to ) - I will roll tens and hundreds of thousands of spins through slots in free play mode, with wagering up in the millions, just to analyse how stuff happens, or doesn't happen.

I would say you'll hit 250x stake on Reel Steal far more often than you will on Starburst. I've never seen 250x stake on Starburst, and my combined total spins on that slot (real and free money) are well over 15,000.

Starburst is a really low variance slot, the paytable is massively weighted towards 5-20x stake wins, with loads of 20-40x stake wins on there too, 50x stake or better is rare and 100x plus you can literally go thousands of spins without seeing. (As I'm finding out on my quest to hit the full screen of bars )

It's not a bad slot, and it can boost your balance on a 'rich period', but it's not one anyone's ever going to win big on at modest stakes.

 

[Balthazar]

I would say you'll hit 250x stake on Reel Steal far more often than you will on Starburst.

That's what I'd be interested to know actually. One slot has most of its RTP "reserved" for the big wins (say 500x to 2000x) while the other gives back most of its RTP on small wins (say 0.1x to 20x). But what about the middle (100x to 250x)? Same chances? I think it's a good question.

Is it easier to hit 100x to 250x stake on a low variance or on a high variance slot?

 

[Jasminebed]

I love Starburst, I play it almost every deposit with NetEnt. This is probably my best return:



I've had 3 Starbursts a few times. once with a couple of 7s, but not all three.

It is possible to get more than 250x, because you get a new spin if you land one, then another after two, and if you nail that third one on then you get two spins with all three wilds.

See that's only 140x stake, (still a nice hit though ), which matches up with about the best I've seen throughout my 15,000 or so spins on this slot.

Theoretically you could go past 250x stake with the run on the wilds you describe, but just because something is theoretically possible on a slot doesn't guarantee it's actually on the paytable.

The slot itself says 'win up to 50000 coins', which with a coin value of 0.01 at 'Level 10' (i.e. €1 per spin playing all ten lines) = €500 so 500x stake, which would suggest that the multiple wild spins you describe are on there.

I'm going to plug away at it until I hit at least 250x stake, however many tens of thousands of spins it takes

Is it easier to hit 100x to 250x stake on a low variance or on a high variance slot?

Without actually seeing the pay distribution of any given slot, that question is effectively impossible to answer, the only way really is to lump lots and LOTS of spins through a slot in free play mode and get a feel for it yourself I think.

Beach for example seems to have a chunk of its RTP put into those 'mid-range' wins of 100-175x stake, spend any appreciable amount of time on that slot and you'll see them pretty regularly, but that does increase its variance over something like Starburst, and Beach can have some nasty dry spells as a result. (I've had it go nearly 500 spins without a free waves round or more than 20x stake, which are my stop triggers in real money play.)

I've still yet to see a big hit on Beach though, nothing over 200x stake, and I've played it quite a lot.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Hang on a minute, the winlines pay Left to Right and Right to Left on Starburst, so wouldn't a full screen of bars be worth 250x stake x2 = 500x stake?

That would tie in with the stated maximum prize of 50000 coins, and also seems to suggest that the 'multiple big wins' that Jasmine talked about aren't on the paytable, because that would add up to more than 50000 coins.

EDIT - Just looked back at the video where I hit a few 5OAKs on BARS and apparently not..... Each full 5OAK appears to pay a single €25 from a €1 spin. So that would say 250x stake is right after all.

Link Removed (invalid URL)

EDIT AGAIN I WILL GET THIS RIGHT EVENTUALLY - I'm playing at 50cents per spin in the above clip, not €1, and each full 5OAK on BARS is worth €25. 10 x 25 = €250, from a 50 cent spin that is 500x stake, so a full screen of BARS is 500x stake, not 250x stake. And that does suggest that the win sequence that Jasmine talked about DOESN'T EXIST on the paytable as that would go well over 50000 coins, which is stated as the top prize.

Thanks for the preview, it seems nice. I need to check it out when I find the time. Always nice with a change up.

Stats so far

Here's the stats so far. (I've moved to quick spin, by the way.)

Remember, stop trigger is 1000 spins passed or 100x stake.

SPINS - 24,000 (minimum, if it hits the 100x stake stop trigger I go back to the last 'block' of 250, so if it hits stop with 650 spins remaining, I'll kick it off again at 750).

MAXIMUM WIN - 256x stake

NUMBER OF WINS OVER 100x STAKE - 10

TOP WINS -

256x
168x
161x
142x
141x
136x
104x
103x
100x
100x

OBSERVATION - This is an incredibly low variance slot, it's entirely possible to go thousands of spins with only a small dip in balance, at €1 per spin I will sometimes dip €300-€400 off my starting balance on a bad run over a few thousand spins, but inevitably enough half-decent stuff will drop in eventually to pick it back up again, often almost back to my starting balance or even over it. However, the most I've ever been up from my starting balance is just over €200.

I'm starting to dread to think how long it might actually take to hit the full screen of BARS for 500x stake, has anyone ever reported hitting that win on this slot?.......

Yeah, Starburst was released in January this year and has become one of NetEnt's most popular slots, so it is definitely worth checking out if you ever should play at a casino with games from NetEnt.
