Basketball Star Slots - Microgaming

ABOUT BASKETBALL STAR SLOTS

Basketball Star was the fourth sports themed video slot to be released by Microgaming when it made its way to online casinos in November 2015, following on from Football Star, Cricket Star and Rugby Star. The five reel game is played at 243 winning ways and has the same gameplay as its predecessors, with basketball obviously taking the centre stage.

Launched ahead of the new NBA season, the Microgaming title has high symbols depicting basketball players going through the various stages of the game, looking for a pass, shooting and in the process of slam dunk. Meanwhile, low icons show winner's medal, basketball shoes, water bottles and coach clipboard, with Game Logo and Basketball the two special icons.

HOW TO PLAY BASKETBALL STAR

Due to the 243 way wins format, casino gamers do not have to worry about selecting paylines, although it is important to note that minimum wager per spin stands at 50 coins. There are a total of four coin values to choose from in the $0.01 to $0.10 range, whilst they can also choose up to 10 coins, translating to up to 500 credits in total.

Basketball Star Logo acts as the Wild symbol, substituting for all game icons with the exception of Basketball Scatter to complete wins where possible. Wild occurs stacked on reels III, IV and V, whereas randomly activated Wild Shot feature can see up to two reels from the middle three turn Wild with guaranteed wins.
