During the INTEGRAL Core Programme observations most of the Galactic hard X- and Gamma-ray sky has been surveyed. A particular emphasis has been dedicated to low mass X-ray binary sources such as X- ray bursters because almost 70% of them are located within 20 degrees off the Galactic Centre. We will present our first INTEGRAL results on a sample of X- Ray bursters obtained during the 2003 Core Program observations. This sample consists of at least 17 sources mainly detected during the Galactic Centre Deep Exposure. In the sample there are both transient and persistent sources with different characteristics. These observations cover a broader energy range in comparison to previous ones offering the possibility to better draw comparisons between this already established class of high energy emitters and Black Hole Candidates. Light curves and preliminary spectra are discussed.
