About NetEnt
Gaming giant NetEnt was founded in Sweden over 20 years ago. The company is now one of the most well represented in gaming markets all over the world and has been responsible for some of the biggest titles of the last decade. Some of the most famous titles include Dead or Alive, Bloodsuckers and Bloodsuckers II, Planet of the Apes, Theme Park and, of course, Starburst. NetEnt pokies are a staple of some of the world's most successful online casinos, and they are known for their attractive design, easy and intuitive gameplay and fun special features that can deliver huge cash prizes.Berry Burst MAX Design
As with all NetEnt games, this pokie has an attractive design that is very pleasing to look at. It's a fairly simple-looking game but has the same stunning colours and a similar feel to the famous Starburst. The symbols are suspended seemingly in mid-air against a colourful, pretty background, and the game's music and sound effects give the whole pokie a fun and light-hearted feel. This will appeal to anyone who loves simple, straightforward pokies and enjoys playing relaxing games that aren't too mentally taxing.
How to Play Berry Burst MAX
If you have already seen the game's predecessor - simply called Berry Burst - you will have a head start here, as the two games play almost identically. Even if you're completely new to pokies, however, you'll find this a simple game to pick up. NetEnt games tend to be easy to play, and there are rarely complex rules or betting instructions to learn before you can get stuck in and enjoy the game. Simply use the plus and minus buttons on either side of the coin value display to cycle between the available coin sizes. When you're happy with your coin size, you can then adjust the bet level to determine the size of your total bet. You will notice the total bet amount at the bottom of the screen update as you change the settings. When you're happy with the total bet size, you can get started! Hit the spin button and watch the reels go. The bet max button automatically sets the bet to the maximum level - which is 10. It won't change your coin size, though. If you want to use the autoplay feature to set up a pre-determined number of spins while you sit back and watch, just click on the autoplay button alongside the spin button. A mini pop-up will let you choose how many spins you wish to set up. You can halt this feature at any time if you change your mind.Berry Burst MAX Payouts
There are no paylines here - another feature this game shares with Starburst. Instead, the game uses the cluster method. Therefore, you are looking for clusters of matching symbols rather than symbols appearing along active paylines. You will need five or more matching symbols in a single line in order to get a payout. Clusters are formed when matching symbols appear horizontally or vertically adjacent to each other. Diagonal symbols do not count.Berry Burst MAX Symbols
As you might expect from the name, the game is filled with fruity symbols in a variety of types and colours. In order from highest paying to lowest, you will find colourful raspberries, orange segments, berries and limes. The game's lower-paying symbols are made up of brightly coloured playing card symbols, namely hearts, spades and diamonds. You will need to land a cluster of five or more in order to receive a payout. The maximum size of cluster is a whopping 15 symbols - this is capable of generating some huge cash prizes, as you might imagine!Berry Burst MAX Special Symbols
The only special symbol here is the wild symbol. You won't find any free spins symbols or other scatters at all. Having said that, the wild is responsible for a few special features of its own. The wild can appear anywhere on the reels and substitutes for all other game symbols. Wilds automatically expand to cover the entire reel they land on, leading to come potentially very lucrative clusters. Every time this happens, you will be awarded a free re-spin as well, with the wild remaining in position. If further wilds appear on the reels during this re-spin, they will also expand to fill their entire reels and you will get another re-spin. If you're wondering whether it's possible for wilds to land on every single reel and expand, leading to an entire screen of reels, the answer is yes - it is. While this is unlikely and will only happen very infrequently, the payout would be 10,000 your bet.Playing Berry Burst MAX for Free
