Basketball has become a worldwide sensation. It’s not just for 7 Ft Americans anymore. Even if you’re 4 FT tall, you can be like Mike in Basketball Star, the new online video slot from MicroGaming.

This basketball themed slot will have you cheering in your seat as you and the crowd get pumped up for some big wins. The graphics are great and it has an awesome backdrop with a continuous roaring crowd that cheers you in as you spin.

And that’s just during normal game play!

Wait until you get to the bonus round with rolling wilds and big time multipliers.

If you think you have what it takes to be a basketball star, then keep reading to find out more about this online video slot.

Basketball Star Rules

Basketball Star has 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols. Veterans of slots will be excited to see the infamous 243 ways to win pay line structure that MicroGaming is popular for. The ways to win are fixed and you will always have 243 ways to make a winning combination. There’s no playing just 1 line like other slots.

You can choose how much, or how little to bet though. The minimum bet is just $0.50 for those on a budget, but still want to enjoy slots. For the high rollers looking for the biggest score, there is a maximum bet of $50.

Game controls are always where you need them at the bottom of the reels. There’s no trying to find the button you want with MicroGaming slots. They make it nice and easy.

Rolling Reels

One of the best features in Basketball Star is the Rolling Reels. The symbols that made the win will blow up and allow new symbols to drop down. This gives you the chance to make another winning combination if the new symbols match. It’s almost like a free re spin feature in some ways.

I should add a little “TM” symbol there as the term “Rolling Reels” is actually trademarked by MicroGaming. But if you won’t tell, I won’t either.

Symbols

As one would expect, the symbols are based on basketball. The lower paying ones are the clipboard, water bottles, basketball shoes and the medal. Three or more of any of these will trigger a win.

The higher paying symbols will be the various basketball players. These can pay as much as $600 when you get 5 matching symbols.

The wild symbol will be the Basketball Star logo. It only shows up on reels 3, 4 and 5, but it is a stacked wild which will usually show up in bunches.

If you’re looking for scatters, Basketball Star has a very rewarding one. The basketball is the scatter and will trigger the free spin bonus round. It’s also the highest paying symbol in the game. Five of these on the reels will award a 12,500 payout.

Free Spins– Multipliers – Win up to 120,000!

You will be awarded 15 for 3 scatters, 20 for 4 scatters, and 25 for 5 scatters triggering this round.

During the free spin round, the Rolling Reel feature can trigger multipliers for consecutive wins. You could get up to 10x multiplier that could bank you 120,000! While my experience didn’t come close to this amount, I still walked out of the free spin round with over 1,800.

Wild Shot Feature

Finally we have the Wild Shot Feature. This is a randomly triggered feature that will turn reels 2, 3 or all wild producing a guaranteed win. One or all 3 of those reels could turn all wild.

Nothing But Net

Basketball Stars hits the mark on every angle. It has free spins, stacked wilds, random bonuses throughout and big time payouts with the multipliers. You’re probably sick of all the basketball puns by now, but Basketball Stars is a slam dunk that can be enjoyed by everyone.
