Cricket Star Slot Review

One thing that we can always be certain of is that if there’s a big event coming up, Microgaming will be on hand to deliver the goods for slots fans. Football Star came along just in time for the 2014 World Cup and that game was so successful that the developer decided to follow it up with the equally exciting Cricket Star for that sport’s 2015 World Cup. As with most of these tie-ins, it is not the most innovative slot game ever unleashed on an unsuspecting public, but it captures the spirit of the game nicely and offers plenty of ways to build your bankroll.

If you’ve played the aforementioned Football Star slot here at Mr Gamez then this game won’t offer much by way of surprises. Both games make use of the ever popular 243 ways to win betting system and there is an array of wilds and scatters to keep things ticking over. The theme is of course completely different though and you’ll find bowlers, fielders, batsmen and umpires on the board that are sure to keep those wins coming. It becomes even easier to hit some decent sized wins too when you consider the rolling reels, with winning symbols disappearing from view and more taking their place, allowing for some rather large consecutive combinations.

A Handful of Features

Cricket Star also includes a random feature, where three wickets can appear above reels two, three and four. A ball is then bowled and whichever wicket it hits will turn the relevant reel completely wild for the next spin. That’s not the only feature either, as three or more cricket ball scatters will award free spins. There are fifteen for three, twenty for four and 25 for five so you can always be sure of a decent number of games, and the prizes are helped along by the fact that any consecutive wins from the rolling reels are subject to an increasing multiplier too.

Cricket Star is definitely different enough to stand out in the crowd and is certain to appeal to any fan of the game. Even if you’re not a big fan, it is the perfect accompaniment to the sport’s main event, so be sure to check it out with no deposit here on the page or for real cash at our leading Microgaming casinos!
