If you are one of the millions of cricket fans across the globe that is eagerly awaiting the start of the 2015 Cricket World Cup, then Microgaming have hit upon a novel way to celebrate this impending festival of cricket; the Cricket Star video slot.
This 5×3 slot offers players 243 ways to win and prices start at just 0.50 for the typical lower level player, although you can wager up to as much as 150 on each spin if you are a higher roller.
The theme of the slot is cricket and as such, all symbols on the reels are to do with the game. There’s no playing card symbols on the reels at all, just a large number of cricket themed symbols which, when you hit a winning combination, turn into some pretty neat animations.
While the base game is great fun, the real big money in this slot is won when you play one of the two bonus games.
During the base game, you can trigger the Wild Wickets bonus on any spin. When this happens between one and three of the middle reels will turn completely wild and on a subsequent spin, you can use these wild symbols to make a winning payline.
The more reels you have wild then the more chance you have of hitting one or multiple paylines. Land three wild wickets and you could really take home a big money win.
The same is true when you land three or more scatter symbols (the cricket ball) across the reels. In the free spins round, you could increase the amount you win via a multiplier, which offers payouts of up to 10x the amount won, greatly increasing your chances of a big win.
Whether you are a slot fan, or a cricket lover, there’s lots to enjoy on this beautifully presented new slot from Microgaming.
