Slingo Starburst Game Review

Starburst seems almost tailor-made for a Slingo merger, and it’s a pretty safe bet from Slingo Originals. You spin the single row, 5-reels slot below the 5x5 Slingo grid, and you get 10 regular spins per round. The idea is to land numbers equal to the numbers on the grid, and thus mark them off. A full horizontal or vertical line of marked off symbols equals a slingo. Each slingo moves you up the Win Spin bonus ladder seen on the left-hand side.

The bonus ladder comes with increasingly valuable symbol specific Win Spins on NetEnt’s Starburst. You need 3 slingos to get to the lowest value gem symbol, and 10 slingos (a full house) takes you all the way to the top. Fans of the mega-popular original game finally have something brand new to sink their teeth into, and there are plenty of features to look forward to in this slot/bingo hybrid version.

Slingo Starburst Features

You can land Starburst Wilds on the single row reel below the slingo grid, and this allows you to mark off any number you want on the column above.

The rest of the reels will then respin. Red Joker hat wilds have the same effect, but they don’t award any respins. To top it off, you can also land Green Joker hat wilds, and these allow you to mark off any number on the whole grid.

The X is a blocker symbol that does nothing but occupy “reel estate”, while 3+ purple gems award instant cash prizes. You win 0.5x, 1x or 2x your stake when you land 3, 4 or 5 purple gems on the same spin, respectively. Wilds can step in for the purple gemstones to give you bigger wins.

When your initial 10 spins are up, you’ll get an Extra Spin chance.

A bonus wheel spins, and you win 1 extra spin if you land on the green segment. You can win up to 5 extra spins in a row, but your winning chances are reduced each time.

What you’re really aiming for however, is the top of the Win Spin Bonus Ladder. The Starburst Win Spins is what makes this game stick out, and you need only 3 slingos to get to the lowest tier symbol. All 9 symbols are lined up on the bonus ladder. You need a full house (10 slingos filling the whole grid) to get to top paying BAR symbol, combined with Expanding Respin Wilds.

If you’re not happy with where you are on the bonus ladder after your 10 initial spins, you can take advantage of indefinite extra spins for an individually calculated price. The Win Spin feature is played out on the Starburst slot, and you are guaranteed a win with the achieved symbol. This can be anything from a single payline 3-of-a-kind win, to filling the whole screen.

Any wilds that land during the Win Spin feature will expand to cover the full reel. Then the remaining reels will respin, just like in the original game.

Wilds can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4, and you can get 3 wild respins at the most.

The 200 Spins Slingo Starburst Experience

We managed to rack up 7 slingos with some help from the Extra Spins Wheel, but we had our sights fixed firmly at the top of the ladder. We therefore paid £17.87 per extra spin for a while, and this took us all the way to up to the 9-slingo Lucky number 7 symbol. After spending £126.46 in total, we caved and accepted our destiny with the 7-symbol in the Win Spin feature. Check it all out in the 4-minute highlights video below.

Review Summary

Slingo Originals has done a fabulous job merging NetEnt’s iconic game with the slot/bingo hybrid concept. Slingo + Starburst is quite literally a match made in heaven, and fans of the original have plenty to look forward to. Achieving a Win Spin is not all that hard, but you should probably be cautious about chasing the top-tier Win Spins with too many costly extra spins.

Keep in mind that racking up slingos alone does not pay anything.

The Win Spin you achieve is therefore all-important when it comes to actually winning money. The lowest value gem symbol awards 250x your stake at best, while the top-tier BAR symbol, combined with 3 expanding wild respins, can lead to total payouts up to 1,500x your stake.

Pros

• Starburst meshes perfectly with Slingo
• Plenty of exciting features
• Thrilling Win Spin concept
• Win up to 1,500x your stake

Cons

• Extra spins can be a costly affair
