Who could have guessed that a basketball themed slot can be so much fun? In this recent Microgaming release, conceived as your own arena show fantasy, the developers have fused the appeal of this popular sport with a selection of amazing and versatile bonus features to make one of their best offerings yet. Not only is Basketball Star video slot visually striking, but it also shows a confident mastery of slot game mechanics.
Basketball Star Slot Characteristic
You'll be happy to discover that this action packed offering has multi-tiered features which are not hard to trigger and can award prizes up to a whooping maximum jackpot of $ 125,000. If you are looking for plenty of winning opportunities, this is what this latest installment delivers with its 243 ways to win and without the standard pay-line structure to limit a huge potential of the gameplay.
This slot has lots of tension-building moments, but the best aspect comes in the form of special Wild symbols. It is hard to resist a slot filled with more than 40 Wild symbols and whole Wild reels that can boost your winning chances considerably. Another reason to give the Basketball Star slot a shot is the addition of Rolling reels which have the power to ignite a stream of consecutive wins with a very generous multiplier applied.
Playable from 50 pennies up to the maximum amount of $ 50 per game, this slot uses 5 reels filled with skilfully designed symbols such as basketball players, trademark bottles, shoes, gold medals, basketballs and coach boards, with the background created in the likeness of a huge sports arena brimming with cheering audience.
Basketball Star Slot Special Features
If you decide to try out this game, you will soon realize its gameplay is all about Wilds, free spins and multipliers. The slot's logo serves as the Wild symbol and can count as any other regular one to complete a winning line of matching symbols and help generate extra prizes. But the best aspect of this bonus is the fact that it can award you with up to 40 Wild symbols at once. What's more, reels 3, 4 and 5 will have all Wilds appearing stacked.
Moreover, there is the Wild Shot feature included which activates randomly within the base game and turns up to 2 regular reels into entire Wild reels that come complete with guaranteed wins.
The Scatter symbol is the Basketball and unlocks the free spins feature. When 3, 4 or 5 of them land on the reels in a single spin, players will be awarded 15, 20 or 25 free games respectively.
And last but not least, there's the Rolling reels feature available after each base game or free spins win. All the symbols on a win line disappear and leave empty reel positions which are then filled with another set of symbols swooping from above. During the free spins, you can hit multiple consecutive wins and have their values increased up to 10 times.

I'm not a basketball fan, but this slot is awesome. The graphics are popping, the soundtrack is tight, the features and bonuses are exciting...Many chances to hit massive multipliers. This is all in all a really exciting and engaging slot.

Very nice game. It’s very addictive. It has feature in the game that makes some reels wilds, that’s awesome. It gives me few times big wins ... The free spins feature is very good - there the multiplier is bigger, the win chance is bigger, the winnings could be very big

Basketball Star can pay extremely well, that is one reason I play it. I have not won though a great amount yet, but hope to one day. I have played other games with similar pay outs and have won very high wins, so it is possible to win like that here. I like the game and the graphics, and the music.

Microgaming has the awful hobby of recycling parts of its slots over and over again. The dashboard, that awful sound effect of the spinning reels, and the info panels are typical examples.

Microgaming has the awful hobby of recycling parts of its slots over and over again. The dashboard, that awful sound effect of the spinning reels, and the info panels are typical examples. Considering this slot was released in 2015, the graphics lag miles behind what Yggdrasil and NetEnt were doing at the time. Nonetheless, the game has some interesting features. The relatively high RTP, the frequency with which free spins are awarded, and the possibility to win 120,00 make this slot an interesting consideration. Yet, the end result is average, and that is the score which this game deserves. With such a title and the resources of Microgaming this slot could have been produced to very high quality standards. And please Microgaming, include the RTP info somewhere in the game info pages please.

Of the 4 Microgaming slots this would be my 3rd in rank! Funny when I don't expect the random wild reel feature to show up it happens to do it when I least expect it! Most of the wins I received were from $15 - $44. The rolling reels is just way too good, that alone lets me feed this slot!

Basketball Star is basically the same game with Football Star and Break Away. The difference is random stacked wild appears only in 2 and 4 reels. And the line wins are a bit higher (?). I think that the free spin feature should have some more different feature other than multipliers.

I like playing this slot that brought me luck several times. free spins are a bit harder to get, but can bring good win when they pay up to 2400 times the initial bet.

Another video slot from the MG in the sports theme series and 50 winning lines. I won almost x700 in this video slot. But this happens very rarely. Usually in the bonus game the winnings are small. But sometimes you can win a lot and with normal spins. Graphics and sound are made beautifully and qualitatively.

The feature of Basketball star that immediately catches the eye is the use of the "avalanche" mode also called rolling reels in which the same spin can give rise to several consecutive winning combinations. The symbols that give rise to a winning combination dissolve and leave room for new ones .... a bit like happens in Gonzo's quest even if here there are no multipliers). A very interesting aspect is that the wilds that appear in the last three reels, if they are part of the winning combination, temporarily dissolve but are re-proposed in the same position. Interestingly, we also have a random "wild shot" feature which results in a guaranteed win by releasing stacks of wilds on the intermediate reels (2,3 and 4). There is also a scatter symbol which coincides with the basketball which, starting from a scattered combination of three, gives at least 15 free spins (up to a maximum of 25 with 5 scatters) and a multiplier up to 10x. In short, this slot really has the characteristics to give big wins and return a good dose of adrenaline! :)

La caratteristica di Basketball star che salta subito agli occhi è quella dell'utilizzo della modalità "a valanga" denominata anche rolling reels in cui uno stesso spin può dar luogo a più combinazioni vincenti consecutive. I simboli che danno luogo ad una combinazione vincente si dissolvono e lasciano spazio ad altri nuovi....un po come accade in Gonzo's quest anche se qui non sono previsti moltiplicatori). Aspetto molto interessante è quello che i wild che si presentano negli ultimi tre rulli, se rientrano nella combinazione vincente, si dissolvono momentaneamente ma vengono riproposti nella stessa posizione. Di interessante abbiamo anche una funzione casuale"wild shot" che rilasciando delle pile di wild nei rulli intermedi (2,3 e 4) da luogo a una vincita garantita. E' previsto anche un simbolo scatter che coincide con la palla da basket che a partire da una combinazione sparsa di tre regala almeno 15 giri gratuiti (fino ad un massimo di 25 con 5 scatter) e un moltiplicatore fino a 10x. Insomma questa slot ha veramente le caratteristiche per regalare grandi vincite e restituire una buona dose di adrenalina! :)

As stacks of wilds are very large, when you form a line, many times the next symbols that fall are also wilds, it was the aspect I liked most of this game. On the other hand, I cuold'nt win this match, it is not an easy game and I was not lucky enough. However, it is a very fun slot.

It's ok. A clone of Breakaway, cricket star, football star etc. Same gameplay, different music and graphics. This sort of slot always has potential for some good wins but 1 thing is the base game normally pays rubbish (unless its 5oak with stacked wilds in play).

This sort of slot always has potential for some good wins but 1 thing is the base game normally pays rubbish (unless its 5oak with stacked wilds in play). Normally if betting £1 a spin and you get a 3oak, you only get a few pennies return. It makes up for things with a decent bonus round that allows some big wins. A fun slot

There's something familiar in this game, Breakaway is what I am referring to.. This game gives you a feeling that you're in fully packed basketball arena somewhere in the USA. Voices of the crowd, hammonds and all. I can only imagine that., i have never attended one. Oh, and the feeling when you get those stacked wilds...

Oh, and the feeling when you get those stacked wilds in front of you, the sound of coins clicking is music to my ears. This is very entertaining game, try it!

This is a really nice looking game. I have played it several times, when it was hot and have had some decent wins so far. I like the look of this game and the colors, it is much more vibrant then some similar games. I hope one day to get up to the 10X's during the free spins round, if you had a bunch of stacked wilds here...
