“Basketball Star” by Games Global, formerly Microgaming, brings the thrill of basketball to the world of slot games. Released in November 2015, this high-energy slot features a 5-reel layout with 243 ways to win, offering players ample opportunities to score big wins.
With a minimum bet of 0.50 and a maximum bet of 125.0, players can enjoy a wide betting range suitable for both casual players and high rollers. The game's key features, including the Rolling Reels, Wild Shot Feature, and Free Spins Bonus with a Multiplier Trail, add excitement and potential for significant wins.
The Rolling Reels feature, available in both the base game and free spins, creates opportunities for consecutive wins by replacing winning symbols with new ones. The Wild Shot Feature adds a random element of excitement by turning up to two middle reels wild, increasing the chances of a win.
Triggering the Free Spins Bonus with 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols awards players with 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. During free spins, the Multiplier Trail feature boosts wins with increasing multipliers, up to an impressive 10x multiplier.
Despite its dated graphics, “Basketball Star” offers a high RTP of 96.45% to 96.52%, ensuring players a relatively high return rate. The game's medium volatility rating strikes a balance between frequent wins and substantial payouts, providing an engaging gaming experience.
Part of the popular “Star” series by Microgaming, “Basketball Star” is available in over 50 countries and has gained popularity in regions like Canada, New Zealand, Norway, and Finland. While some may find its similarity to other games in the series a drawback, the game's exciting features and high RTP make it a compelling choice for basketball enthusiasts and slot players alike.
