Description:
A 5 reel, 20 payline video slot game based around the popular
sport of basketball. The game has lots of features including both
free spins and a unique shoot the hoop bonus game.
The game symbols certainly capture the exciting
game of basketball, we see Allstars shirts, basketballs, trainers,
referres whistle as well as the crowd aspects of the game, including
cheerleaders, mascots, and dressed up audience in wigs etc.
There's good sound effects, for example as the
reels stop spinning its like the sound of a bouncing basketball
When you do hit winning combinations you also get the type of
music that is actually played at some basketball games, which
really adds to the feel and excitement of the slot game.
There's a very nice 10,000 coin jackpot if you
get 5 of the wild symbols on a payline.
As is common with most Vegas Technology multiline
slots they have a stop spin feature, that in this game is within
a basketball. This just enables you to stop the reels spinning
after the first reel has stopped.
Wild Symbol:
The Wild Symbol substitutes all other symbols except the Scatter
or Bonus symbols.
Multiplier Symbols:
All scatter wins (see below) are multiplied by the total amount
bet (so bet bigger and win more!). All winning combinations that
contain the Wild Symbol will have the winnings doubled.
Scatter Symbol:
The Scatter Scoreboard symbol will cause you to win no matter
where it lands on any reels as long as there are two or more present.
You'll see the scoreboard activated when 2 or more do appear.
Free Spins Feature:
Getting 3 or Scatter symbols will activate the Free spins Feeature
and you will be awarded 15 Free Spins. All
winnings including Bonus wins are tripled
during free spins and the free spins can be re-triggered during
the free spins.
Bonus Game:
This is a very novel bonus game, where you have to shoot hoops
for money. To get into the bonus game you need to get a bonus
basketball symbol on reels 2 and 4 at the same time.
Once in the game you are shown a row of basket
ball hoops. You then have to choose one to shoot out. The light
go out on all the other hoops and you are lined up ready to shoot
at your chosen hoop. There's a pause then you shot and a short
wait while the ball drops and you see if you scored a win. If
you do you get a big cheer from the crowd.
The Bonus Prize winnings are multiplied
by the number of paylines that pass through the Bonus
Basketball Symbols. So from a strategy point of view you should
be betting max lines (in this case that is 20).
