Berryburst

About Berryburst

A lot has happened with the technology since Starburst was released and the graphics in Berryburst reflect this. But although major changes have taken place in 5 years, in principle, the same Spartan scheme is also used in this long-awaited successor. There is a charm in the simple and minimalistic when it comes to slots and NetEnt lets the winning chances and symbols speak for themselves even in Berryburst – instead of piling on with flashy special effects and bonus games. As you will quickly notice, the symbols in the slot are what takes center stage and these are really cool designed. Beautiful fruit clusters and whole berries go here in an inviting tone of pink, purple, green and orange. In other words, it's the design and graphics that account for the biggest wow factor in Berryburst.

Bets and paylines

Berryburst is a classic slot machine in a way that it has five reels and three rows although the game is designed so the symbols float instead of sitting on reels. What is different from other slot machines is that Berryburst does not have paylines but instead something that the manufacturers call "cluster pays” . If you are a seasoned player of NetEnt's slots, you may recognize this from, for example, the game Aloha! Cluster Pays. This means that instead of traditional paylines, you win by getting identical symbols in a cluster, or a cluster on the screen. To get a win you need to get a cluster of at least five identical symbols and at most you can get a cluster of 15 identical symbols, which means that the entire playing field is filled with the same symbol.

If you get a cluster on the entire playing field consisting of the symbol with the lowest value, you will win 50x your bet. If you are lucky enough to get the entire screen filled with the highest valued raspberry or a bunch of wilds, you will win a whopping 250x your bet. This can also increase even more if you get a re-spin in addition to these symbols and you can then land on an impressive win consisting of 500X your bet! The stakes in the game are in the range of $0.10 - $100 , which in New Zealand dollar is likely to be around$1 ona to$1,000 Onor. The RTP of the game is 96,56 % which is great, but also something that is expected from a game where the focus is simplicity and big wins.

Symbols

As we have mentioned before and as you can figure out from the name, it is precisely berries and fruits that have the main roles in this game. The exception is some classic card symbols, i.e. hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds and these are usually the lowest paying symbols. Among the fruits and berries you will find raspberries, limes, Kiwis, orange wedges and blueberries, and it is the glowing Raspberry that has taken on the role of the highest paying symbol. But don't be disappointed if the limes, blueberries, and orange wedges land on the field, as you can expect nice profits from these too. It is noticeable that NetEnt has not compromised on the quality when it comes to these refreshing fruits and berries. The symbols are really nicely designed and sometimes it's easy to get 3D vibes as they almost stick out from the screen.

Berryburst is not packed with grand action or amazing bonus features , the only bonus symbol you will find is a wild. Just like in Starburst, the wild symbol consists of a logo that shows that it is just a wild and it thus goes away from the fruit and Berry theme. Despite this, it fits well into the game because it looks like it's embedded in an ice cube, and who doesn't want an ice cube in their summery fruit bonfire? However, these are all the symbols you will find in the game and for someone who is used to playing a game with lots of different bonus symbols, it can of course feel a bit empty at first glance. But if you have experience playing Starburst, you know that there is much else that will make up for the missing bonus features.

Bonus features

This list can really be made extremely short because part of the distinguishing character with Berryburst is, just like with its predecessor, that it doesn't exist complicated bonus features . However, do not be fooled by this and think that it will be boring or that there are no opportunities for good profits – because this is not the case. There is actually a bonus feature that increases your winning opportunities and that is the wild symbol. This symbol can appear anywhere on the playing field and is both of an expanding and ”sticky” nature. It is thus an expanding wild that turns into a so-called sticky wild that stays, and the very best thing about this symbol is that it will actually appear relatively frequently on the playing field.

When the wild symbol lands on the playing field, it expands over a reel and thus turns into a sticky wild. What the symbol then does is trigger a re-spins feature. If you won something in a previous spin, it will be paid out before you initiate your re-spins. During your re-spins, there is also the possibility of the wild symbol reappearing and replacing other symbols. The wild symbol continues to be of a sticky character and thus remains, while triggering new re-spins. As a maximum you can get five re-spins and if you are lucky enough to do this you will be rewarded with a win of 500X your stake . So just like in Starburst, NetEnt has chosen to bet on quality instead of quantity when it comes to bonus features in Berryburst.

Summary

We hope you are ready for a fruit salad that will attract more than your taste buds! Berryburst is thus NetEnt's sequel to the hit slot Starburst and this slot has a lot in common with its more popular predecessor, but also has new features that will deliver even more gaming pleasure for die-hard NetEnt fans. In Berryburst you are greeted by berries and fruits in a lovely pink-purple theme that brings to mind a summery and refreshing fruit bonfire. NetEnt has chosen to keep many character traits from its predecessor but still screwed up the game a notch. It's a really nice looking game board with no frame that gives the feeling that the symbols are floating around on your screen. The focus is on a nice and simple game, where the goal is to give players the chance to win a lot of money.

The biggest news, compared to Starburst, is that the game does not contain paylines, but instead something that NetEnt is called "Cluster Pay". This means that you should not get the same symbols in a row, but here it is important to get the same symbols in a cluster of at least five pieces. It's actually a really fun variation when it comes to slots and something that NetEnt has featured in the past in some of their slots. If you're ready for a chilling adventure where you have the chance to comb your way home up to 500X your instats , the time is now! Be taken by storm by this fruity news and see how far you can go, as well as how big profits you can bring home with the help of fruit sugar and fruit juice.
