Starburst's low-to-medium volatility means frequent but smaller wins. The Wild has roughly a 3.7% chance of appearing per reel on reels 2-4. With both-ways pay across 10 paylines, the effective number of win evaluation lines is 20, contributing to the high hit frequency. The 500x max win keeps things modest but consistent.
Engine Mechanics: Engine uses 5x3 reel with 10 paylines, both-ways pay doubles hit frequency. Expanding wilds on reels 2-4 create re-spin chains (max 3 re-spins). No free spins feature limits max exposure.
RTP Control: Target RTP is configurable via the Dashboard → Game Control tab. The engine uses dynamic payout adjustment: rtpFactor = targetRTP / currentRTP clamped to [0.1, 2.5], applied to every win. Over ~500 rounds, actual RTP converges to target within ±1%.
House Edge: 3.91% at default settings. Revenue per 1,000 rounds at €1 avg bet: ~€39.
Variance Profile: Low-medium variance — consistent small wins, rare big wins above 100x. Max exposure: 500x bet. Safe game for new players.
