Bonus features within the game can be activated by completing Slingos ( lines ) within the grid. The more of these that you can complete, the bigger win potential your bonus can have.

Even if you're relatively new to playing games and slots online, it's likely that you will have come across the original Starburst Slot at some stage. So given that Slingo Starburst is a part of the same brand, it will come as little surprise that a space theme is in place and you are cast light years away into a vast galaxy to enjoy the action on this game/slot.
Whilst the game primarily takes place on a bingo style grid, there are pay symbols within Slingo Starburst that award wins once you have reached and triggered a bonus level. The lower value pay symbols are the blue gem, orange gem, and green gem. Whilst the high value symbols are the yellow gem, red 7, and bar, with a 5 of a kind win paying 60x bet line, 120x bet line, and 250x bet line respectively.
To begin a game on Slingo Starburst you will have to choose a stake between €0.10 and €100. There are additional chances further into the play to bet more, and we will cover that further on in the review.
After you have chosen your starting bet size, the game will begin on a gird with a format of 5x5. You will be awarded with 10 spins for your initial stake, and on each of these spins either numbers or symbols will appear on the lower escalating reel. If a number is revealed that you have on your card, then it will be crossed off and replaced with a star. However, if a symbol is revealed, then you will get to make an action on the card depending on what modification to allows. These are highlighted for you in the grid below

Action Mark any number off on the grid. The wild then holds and reels respin Allows you to mark any number off in the column above it Allows you to mark off any number within the grid Awards 1 extra free spin 3 or more award a cash win Awards nothing |
The key to success on the game is to complete as many Slingos as possible, and work your way up the prize meter which is positioned to the left hand side of the grid. After your initial 10 spins you will be given a bonus chance to win an extra spin. If you're successful in this, then some more new numbers and symbols will spin in on the lower escalating reel. It's possible to get multiple extra spins to help you further advance up the win meter, but once you fail to land in the win section on the pie, then you'll have an additional decision to make.
This comes in the form of collecting your current prize if you have one, ending the game and starting again, or buying an additional spin to try and complete more Slingos. The price you will pay for extra spins will vary and depend upon how many Slingos you already have completed. Be careful though with the buys, these can soon mount up to significant amounts of money.
Reaching the bonus sections of the the meter on Slingo Starburst will enable you to take a spin on the reels of the game. We have detailed the win meter and the bonuses that you can win in the table below.

Slingo games are continuing to grow in popularity, as we have seen with the likes of Centurion Slingo and Rainbow Riches Slingo. With powerful brands such as these succeeding in the Slingo market, it makes perfect sense for NetEnt to join in and add one of their most recognisable games into the mix.
Compared to the other games in the Slingo niche, Slingo Starburst is quite fun to play and ultimately it all boils down to the bonus features on the game. From our playing experiences, you really need to be hitting one of the enhanced features to really see a good return on your stake, with the top feature of course having the potential to pay a serious amount if you get a good set up.
Overall it's nice to see another well known brand added to the portfolio of Slingo games, and we expect this to be hit and piggy back on the popularity of the original slot game.
