Coming new this month from Microgaming is a thrilling new basketball-inspired online video slot created in association with independent studio partner Pulse 8. Basketball Star on Fire is a sequel to a previous slots release by the casino games giant and features all-new mechanics and a huge potential for big wins.
The 5×4 slot is played across 25 fixed paylines and features a top jackpot payout of a not-too-shabby 2,500x the basegame bet. The potential for nabbing massive cash wins is made even more thrilling by the inclusion of several bonus mechanics, symbols and features – including the HyperHold Respins feature, Stacked Wilds, a Free Spins bonus game, Basketball Scatters, Extra Stacked Wild Coins on the 5th reel, and more.
The Wild, which is the game’s own Logo symbol, pays up to 10x the player’s bet when landed 5-in-a-row on a single payline. It also acts as the ultimate substitute for all regular symbols – with the only exception being the Basketball bonus Scatter symbol.
Basketball Scatters act as the key to triggering the Free Spins bonus game – awarding 10, 15, or 25 free games for every 3, 4, or 5 Scatters landed during a single spin. Once the Free Spins feature has been triggered, Extra Stacked Wild Coins will turn sticky when landed on the 5th reel.
The graphics are very much in line with that of the original 2015 release, providing a special sporty treat for lovers of all thing’s basketball – with symbols including Medals, Basketball Sneakers, Drinks, Scoreboards, and Whistles.
