Impact of NetEnt’s Starburst
One of the most popular online slots ever to be made, Starburst is a classic game which has inspired multiple other games, such as Slingo Starburst, Berryburst, Crystal Sun, and, of course, Starburst XXXtreme. One of its best features, and probably the main reason for its longevity and popularity, is its simple gameplay.
Players often want something quick and easy rather than a complicated game that is difficult to understand. I actually think that despite being released way back in 2012, it remains one of the most aesthetically pleasing games out there. Whatever the reasons for its success, it looks to be around for a long time to come and will probably continue to inspire other games.
Due to it’s popularity and simplicity, Starburst has become the focus for plenty of free spins offers, both no deposit and wager free.
Reactoonz Series
This series by Play ‘n GO is very popular. It includes the games Reactoonz, Energoonz, Reactoonz 2, Dr. Toonz, and Gigantoonz. It is visually bright with bold, exciting colours and has a fun storyline with some similarities to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
When Play ’n GO created the storyline for Reactoonz, it probably couldn’t have guessed how popular it would become. The developer expanded the storyline with Dr. Toonz, and it has continued from there with great characters and graphics. It’s no wonder the series has become so popular.
Cygnus Series
The meaning behind the name is that Cygnus is one of the stars that make up the Northern Cross in the sky. ELK Studios chose the name because of the ancient connection to the pyramids in Egypt, which is the theme of the first game.
In the second game, they dropped the Egyptian connection and made the game into an observatory where you can see the night sky and the constellations (the connection to the first game). The third game takes place in an ancient Colosseum, which implies Ancient Roman influence. The fourth game is set in 18th-century London with a misty atmosphere typical of the ancient city.
The imagination of the different games in the series keeps it fresh with each new release. The graphics are clean and beautiful and go a long way to evoking the message they want to portray. It’s easy to see why these games have been so popular.
Star Trek Series
Talk about branded slots you can’t and shouldn’t miss!
IGT holds the license to use the Star Trek brand for its slot games, immersing players in the iconic series through stunning graphics. From the outset, you’re warned to brace yourself for an emotional experience! Familiar faces like Captain Kirk, Scotty, Spock, and Uhura make appearances, each offering different levels of bonuses—with Captain Kirk, of course, offering the most lucrative rewards.
Meanwhile, Star Trek Red Alert by WMS is a dream come true for Trekkies. The game features memorable music from the original TV series and includes a two-part video that enhances the gameplay. Expect to encounter Klingon birds, phasers, and the medical tricorder from Dr. McCoy’s toolkit. As your wins pile up, you explore more of the galaxy, and when the Enterprise hits warp speed across the screen, the bonuses start rolling in. Keep an eye out for the flashing red alert button—it’s a sign that a big win is on the way!
The Future of Space Slots
Science fiction has always been a popular genre, and its influence on slots is undeniable.
Space-themed slots, like the classic Asteroids, tap into nostalgia and continue to captivate players. This is why Starburst remains a fan favourite.
As new space slots emerge, the classics will likely keep their spot on the favourites list for years.
