cricket star Reviews by Players
This slot has a very modern look and we can see a stadium on the background which is almost a guarantee to be in an authentic environment. The reel area is colorful but fortunately in the right way and I never felt that they would be dominated or even ruined the screen and in my opinion with the decent usage of them just increase the great experiment here. Naturally, the symbols depict mainly players but fans, referee, ball characters also can be seen which all have great graphics. I think overall it’s a well-made interface for a great sports themed video slot.
The game is a member of ‘243-ways-to-win’ group and I like here what I can’t experience at some recently played similar games, namely, the increased expectation because of this working system really fits well to the theme more importantly the graphical world of the appearance and these segments of the game well harmonize to each other so here at Cricket Star I can really see the potential in the slot and it makes me believe that I have a chance to win big here.
Though I normally dislike if a Wild hasn’t got any win multiplying ability and doesn’t pay by own but here somehow it doesn’t seem to be so much problem and it’s because the Wild appears in stacked format only on the last 3 reels and luckily it seems to like its job as it really a very often appearing emblem that gives a very good chance for not just once but more winning combinations to be completed. Maybe I would love to see if it would work rather on the 3 middle reels giving even more wins but it still can be with this working rule real powerful.
The slot offers two little features that both have the ability to boost wins. The first one called Wild Wickets feature which is triggered randomly and basically it’s capable to turn into Wild one of the middle reels and the other is the Rolling Reels feature or drop down symbol function, it doesn’t matter what we name it, it means if a winning combination is completed the winning symbols disappear from the screen replaced by another icons and of course giving spots for newcomers and possibilities for new winning combinations. It’s always great if we can get more Wilds on the table so utility of the first mentioned add-on is evident but normally I have issues and not always like the second mention extra as most of the times it doesn’t bring any significant wins to the table and sometimes it’s just bothering me because it slow down the gameplay and it doesn’t do good for the play rhythm but at Cricket Star I could achieve some nice wins with newcomers too and it was thanked mainly for Wilds because 80% of the cases if the first win needed stacked Wild to be formed, the new arrangement also brings new stacked Wild on the same reel and it’s obviously well increase the chance for the second win.
This Rolling Reels feature is even more powerful at free spin which is activated if 3 or more Ball scatters appear anywhere on the reels during normal game and give 15, 20 or 25 free spins. If consecutive wins are visible during this session, every additional wins are multiplied by increase numbers so the second win with Rolling Reels feature is worth two times more, the third win is multiplied by x3 and so on until a fifth winning combination’s value is multiplied by huge x10 multiplier. Needless to say, how great this increased multiplier possibilities and playing the slot and getting free spins I also could witness its rewarding ability.
Though I have just spent cumulative 1-2 hours with the game but I really like what I’ve seen and experienced here. I love the sports theme and its graphical realization, the features which are really usable and give the players real advantage and the free spins and its potential to give out some really noticeably wins are definitely there and all in all in my opinion there’s nothing here what we could complain about or really miss and that’s why I agree with the opinions which say this is a very complete and a real great product from this developer. It’s a highly recommended slot in my opinion.
It shows that no Microgaming release goes without a thorough thinking process apart from Lucky Firecracker maybe. Those guys should be fired! Just kidding Microgaming :D. I think cricket is an underestimated sport in the world because it certainly has a huge audience in especially Asian and Commonwealth countries.
So there should definitely be a high demand for this game which certainly doesn't disappoint. Cricket Star basically has the same format as BreakAway from Microgaming and some other slot which I can’t think of right now. The game contains 5-reels, 3-rows and a 243-ways-to-win format, while the rolling reels feature is also in place to give some extending playtime. The minimum bet is a bit high though with 50 cents per spin.
I had the chance recently to give this game a try. Though, I must have cached it during a dry spell since I lost about 75 euros in a very short time. I don’t think I had more than 300 spins altogether. The slot looks attractive on the outside with good graphics and certainly manages to engage the player.
The reels are filled with various cricket players in different outfits. On reels 3, 4 and 5 there are stacked wilds with over 40 wild symbols. So be prepared for them to drop in quite regularly. My main problem was that I hardly managed to get decent consecutive wins despite the rolling reels feature being present. The payout for the symbols isn't too great unfortunately. You’d really need a 5oak to get a decent win combined with lots of wilds desirably.
The white Cricket Ball symbols is the scatter by the way. You need 3, 4 or 5 scatters to trigger respectively 15, 20 or 25 free spins with an increasing multiplier all the way up to 10x. During base game I doubt if I came any further than 10x bet. I managed to trigger the free spins only once and it paid merely 20x bet. Obviously I wasn't too lucky but I do think this game has lots of potential simply for the reason that it has stacked wilds and a 10x multiplier.
Last but not least there is also a random feature called the Wild Wickets Feature which can occur any time during base game. It then turns reel 2, 3 or 4 completely wild. So basically if it turns reel 2 wild, then you can possibly get up to four reels wild if you get lucky.
Overall this is a decent game despite my bad results which I will probably give another shot.
It is very similar to other Microgaming games with the fact it has 5 reels, 243 paylines and free spins bonus round. As the name already tells, the theme of the game is cricket game. I am not very into sports theme, but this game seemed decent. There are wilds - on 3rd, 4th or 5th reel they are stacked, but also one of the reels - 2nd, 3rd and 4th will randomly turn wild, giving a guaranteed win. There are also free spins, if you catch at least 3 scatter symbols. If you get 3 scatters, you'll get 15 free spins, if 4 scatters-20, but in case you're lucky enough to win 5 scatters- you'll play 25 free spins. Well that is a very nice amount but I bet it's quite rare to get them. In the free spins game there's a Rolling Reels feature, which award consecutive spins with up to 10x multiplier wins. However, I think it is a cons that the free spins cannot be retriggered during free games.
I wanted to try this game and I did that in my favorite Microgaming casino - Zodiac. I had 30€ in my balance and I placed 0.50€ which are the minimum bets and started to play 100 spins. After only first few spins, I somehow magically got 4 scatters and a big win of 25€. Then I played my 20 spins and I was both surprised and little frustrated - 20 spins gave me 18€ win, which is quite small, since I had 0.50€ bet and many 5 of a kind wins in the free spins. Also, I was sad that the game cannot be retriggered in free spins, because I actually managed to get 3 scatters, during free spins. But I liked the idea that this game (both main game and free spins) had something in common with Gonzo's Quest - the winning combinations fall down and new items come increasing the multiplier from 2x to even 10x bet. I didn't managed to further than 3x multiplier.
I spent about an hour with this game and got another set of free spins, this time 15 free spins. They paid me 40x bet winnings, however, I didn't really get my balance higher, it even dropped a bit, because other than the 2 free spins I overall got there, the regular spins in main game didn't pay anything.
Although I am not the biggest fan of the look of this game, I think it may give nice winnings, so I think I will play it some time. But I think you have to be guarded with a stable bankroll because if this game starts to give empty spins, it will empty your balance quickly.
We Europeans know very little about cricket, played in UK and Australia and baseball, played in US (probably just that in both games someone is hitting a ball with a stick). Here in my country, there is a somewhat similar countryside popular game (played with a stick and a ball) which is called “Oina”(rounders). 19 years ago (when I spent several weeks in US) I had the opportunity to attend a real baseball game. I remember that to my question “how this game is played”, I was told that if I want to learn the rules I will need a few days or weeks of good explanations. And so I preferred just to keep in mind and remember the “show”.
“Cricket Star” is really a slot full of this show. The emotions are real and seemingly detached from the real game. For a bet of 50 cents, you have to play a slot with “all ways win” that is very generous with wins. Unlike the past MG games, here you win consistently, and some Euros every few spins are absolutely guaranteed. The game features are largely the same as the “Footbal Star” features. You have here whole reels full of Wilds, and sometimes one reels is randomly transformed into an extended Wild with a guaranteed win. The Free Spins have also a multiplier, so that after each consecutive win from the same spin, this multiplier is increased up to 10x. And just like playing the “Footbal Star”, sometimes in regular play some payouts are minimal (2-10 cents for “3 of a kind”) yet those fully stacked Wilds are doing a good job. Perhaps that here the Wilds are to be found mainly on reel 3 and more rarely on other reels (unlike at the “Footbal Star”), but it is also good and as it is.
This is an entertaining game full of emotions, with beautiful wins and a music that seems to tell exactly the story and this sport. Thumbs up MG for this game!
