Read the feature as a sequence
Conceptual sequence based on NetEnt’s product description; not a screenshot or a full rule simulation.
When watching the feature, separate the wild’s role from the respin itself. A substitution changes how a symbol can participate in a match; a respin describes another reel action. Mixing these two ideas makes it harder to tell which part of a rule you are reading.
A useful way to take notes
Create two headings: what changes on the reel and what triggers another action. Put the expansion under the first and the respin under the second. Then use the exact help panel to add eligible positions, what remains in place, and continuation conditions.
This note structure is an editorial reading aid. It does not represent a tested spin or a payout example.
Is a respin the same as a free-spins bonus?
The names answer different questions. “Respin” identifies an extra reel action; a named bonus section describes a set of feature rules. Read the trigger and sequence rather than assuming that two labels promise the same behavior.
Which version does this page cover?
This introduction concerns the original title, Starburst. A subtitle or a different edition calls for its own source match. This page explains the manufacturer’s core description; the help panel in the opened game supplies the applicable detailed rules and settings.
Continue with a focused comparison
Use Gonzo’s Quest to compare a different kind of follow-up action. The mechanics guide explains how to separate matching rules from the sequence that follows them; the rules checklist helps organize your notes.
