Starburst

About Starburst

The design is organized around color-coded Crystal Scatters, each tied to a distinct feature path. Every color is paired with a matching skull display and feature path: green for Upgrade, blue for Expand and red for Multiplier, and each feature awards seven spins as standard.

Each path alters a different part of the math model. Upgrade Free Spins turns Bison symbols into Thunder Bison that pay twice the standard value, while Expand Free Spins opens the grid to five reels by six rows and 7,776 payways. The third path introduces multiplier wilds to the middle reels.

The strategic detail is what happens when features overlap. When two feature types activate together, Super Charged Free Spins combines both sets of mechanics, and when all three activate, Mega Stampede Free Spins brings the six-row grid, Thunder Bison and Multiplier Wilds into the same seven spins.

That is the gap Splash Tech solves: many operators already have strong game libraries, and some have proprietary content, but they lack a flexible jackpot layer that can sit across the full offering without requiring them to build and operate their own engine.

That supplier-agnostic design matters because operators do not organise their businesses around the interests of one studio. They assemble portfolios from multiple providers and need tools capable of working across the resulting patchwork. Splash Tech’s engine can also extend beyond slots to points of sale including sportsbook bet slips, lottery and bingo.

“Not making the product available across all game suppliers and all product verticals would be a massive missed opportunity,” Wilson explains. “Wherever you can have a player placing a bet, give them the opportunity to win on the jackpot engine because it is such a sticky product.”

What is Starburst?

As a team that year we had already covered several Bitcoin events including Bitcoin London and Le Web, both featuring Bitcoin enthusiasts who were eager to educate the world on this groundbreaking technology. EiG 2013 attracted several professionals in the Bitcoin space as well, at the time with a focus on introducing Bitcoin as a payment system for iGaming operators.

Calvin took notice of Bitcoin in the early days, immediately identifying its vast potential for his “first love”, the iGaming industry. Little did I know just how significant Bitcoin would become for CalvinAyre.com, Calvin Ayre as a person and myself as a professional. Fast forward to February 2021 and its time for CalvinAyre.com to hang up its hat. Bitcoin has actually become my calling. 

The Bitcoin ecosystem, now in the form of BitcoinSV, has advanced to a level where so many of the pain points within the gaming industry can be solved with Bitcoin technology. For this reason, from today, I’m moving over to CoinGeek.com full time with a laser focus on raising awareness of BitcoinSV within the gaming industry and highlighting the innovative minds and relevant BitcoinSV-powered solutions currently existing in the market.
