Power Play is a cricket-themed tabletop slot game developed by TopSpin. The game invites players to immerse themselves in the excitement of a cricket match, placing bets on one or more of the eight possible positions on the cricket ground. The game interface depicts a cricket field, with four positions on the onside and four positions on the offside.
To begin playing, players select their desired chip denomination and place their bets on the predicted shot positions. Once the bets are placed, players press the “Start” button to initiate the round. The batsman then hits the ball, and the outcome is determined by where the ball lands on the field. If the ball stops on a position where the player has placed a bet, the corresponding line is highlighted, and the player is awarded a payout. However, if the ball lands on a non-selected position, the player loses their bet amount, and the round ends.
Power Play offers a unique gamble feature for players who wish to take their winnings to the next level. After a successful round, players can choose to gamble their winnings for a chance to multiply them by either 4x or 6x. The gamble screen presents a spinning wheel that reveals the multiplier or an “Out” result. If the player lands on a multiplier, their winnings are increased accordingly. However, if the wheel stops on “Out,” the player forfeits their winnings from that round. Players have the option to collect their winnings at any time instead of gambling further.
The game provides various buttons and settings to enhance the player's experience. The “Undo” button allows players to clear the previous bet, while “Clear All” removes all placed bets. The “Clear Any” toggle enables players to remove any previous bets selectively. The “Menu” button offers access to settings such as paytable, help, language, sound effects, and music.
Power Play boasts an overall theoretical return to player (RTP) of 96.03%, with the base game contributing 71.88% and the gamble feature accounting for 24.15%. The game also includes a reality check feature, displaying in-game notifications at regular intervals to promote responsible gaming. Additionally, the net position display shows the player's current balance since the start of the session.
