Basketball

Theme

Get ready! It’s time to shoot some hoops!

The sports theme is often used in slot design, which is not a surprise if we have in mind the millions of dedicated fans of different sports all over the planet.

The most frequently used as a theme is football because, after all, it’s the world’s favorite pastime. But following closely behind is a game invented by Dr. James Naismith …

… in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, so that his students, young athletes, could burn off the energy indoors during cold winter months. That sport goes by the name of Basketball!

EvoPlay used this great sport as the inspiration and created exquisite video slot.

 In the backdrop …

… you can see the court and the bleachers filled with energized supporters of both teams. The background of the reels is actually the basketball court layout.

The soundtrack is impressive, with rock ‘n’ roll guitar riffs and cheering crowd.

Betting Options and Symbols

This release is played on a 5x3 grid and 20 fixed pay-lines.

If you want to be part of this sporting event, you’ll need to place your bet first.

The coin value starts at 0.01 $ and goes up to 1 $. You can also set the number of coins you want to play per line and the possible options are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and 20.

The maximum bet per spin is 400 $, which will make this title appealing to the high rollers but with the minimum bet of 0.20 $, those of you on the budget won’t feel left out.

And…

… What about the symbols?!

All symbols follow the theme, and you’ll find jerseys with 9, 10, J, Q, K and A on them as the low – value icons.

The high – value icons are logos of imaginative teams – Bats, Wolves, Rockets, Crazy Heads and Red Bulls. The highest paying among them are logos of Crazy Heads and Red Bulls with the reward of 888 coins for landing 5 of them in the winning combo.

But…

… there are 2 more symbols on the reels.

The Wild, represented as the basketball hoop, substitutes all symbols bar scatter. Also, if you land a Wild and it doesn’t take part in creating a winning combo, you’ll be rewarded with one re-spin and a sticky Wild.

The Scatter, a.k.a. the flaming ball, is responsible for triggering the bonus rounds. 

Special Features

Besides the sticky Wild and re-spin during the main game, there is one more special feature.

The additional feature in the title is the bonus spins, which gets activated when players land 3 or more Scatters. You get 8 rounds, and every Wild that lands during these rounds are a sticky Wild, helping to create even more winning combinations.

Conclusion

Overall, Basketball slot has immersive gameplay with remarkable graphics and animations.

It’s clear that the developer has put a lot of time and energy into this release. Amazing visuals and sound effects will make it appealing to a much wider audience, not only basketball fans.
